Indeed , while no one can speak with any certainty about the nature ( or even the existence ) of the Hereafter , we can indeed preserve any particular Soul for eternity in the Good Deeds we do in their name after they have gone … And it is in this way , ironically , that we defeat their death most fully . It is in this way that death is suddenly no more the enemy of those departed than our own sleep is the enemy of our ability to serve others in gratitude & wonderment once we awaken the next morn … For as long as we remain true to our own Soul ' s true Way , we allow the Souls of our lost Loved Ones to continue softly treading their own .
And it is with this in mind that I send my most heartfelt Compassion & my most sincere wishes for great Calm to come to all of you who have suffered , all of you who are currently suffering , and indeed all of us who will one day know such times of Great Loss ... Peace to you all .
