TRIGGER WARNING: terminal Illness, hospice, death.
This is a great description of the physical process of death. The only thing missing is the beautiful spiritual process that comes with it.
While the body is doing what Amy so compassionately and enthusiastically describes,
there is also something profoundly intelligent and loving happening on a spiritual level.
As the physical systems begin to shut down, the soul begins to step forward.
The energetic cords that tie us tightly to the body loosen.
Awareness often widens instead of narrows.
Many people report seeing loved ones who have passed, animals, guides, or familiar presences…not as hallucinations, but as recognition.
It’s common for fear to soften and for a deep calm to settle in, even when the body looks so fragile from the outside.
The body knows how to die.
And the soul knows exactly where it’s going.
This is not a failure of life, It’s a transition of consciousness.
Breathing changes because the body no longer needs to work so hard to stay.
Appetite fades because the soul is no longer being nourished by food, but by connection.
Sleep deepens because awareness is turning inward, and then outward in a different way.
For many, there is a sense of being gently gathered.
Not taken.
Not lost.
But accompanied. I jave had those who have crossed over tell me “there are soooo many people here!”
Death, when supported and witnessed with love, is not violent.
It is intimate.
Sacred.
And deeply purposeful.
If you’re sitting beside someone who is dying, or grieving someone who has already crossed…know this:
Nothing is being wasted.
Nothing is being rushed.
Nothing is being taken away without being received on another level.
The body releases.
The soul remembers.
And love remains present the entire time.
