Where do I start? It's been a long couple of weeks I think I have ever experienced and yet I am feeling a profound sense of peace, love, comfort and strength. Losing a parent is hard in so many ways. If I could, I would like to share what I personally experienced. First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful words, letters, cards and prayers. They were such a gift to us all. Mom left this world peacefully, at home with her family to start her forever life with God.
What I witnessed as she took her last breaths was something I will never forget. Mom had several chronic illness that caused her passing. Towards the end stages of her life she had been totally unresponsive for about 5 days. We took shifts to give her meds every 2 hrs by syringe because she couldn't swallow on her own.
Early morning of her passing, my brother and sister were on the side of her holding her hand, I was at the foot of the bed rubbing her feet. Then I saw her slightly reach out with her left hand ( My sister kinda freaked out for a moment saying I'm not moving her hand.) and she slowly looked upwards. She took 2 more breaths and stopped, nothing but silence. As I sat there speechless and numb in the silence that seemed to last forever.
I noticed this beautiful glow ( understand I am trying to relay in English the best way I can here, because I don't think there are any words that can articulate what I saw or felt) This glow was just undescribably beautiful and peaceful and I felt this profound love. There was this rush of energy, that I experience that shook my insides for over an hour. The outside of my body wasn't shaking it was only the inside. I have had adrenaline rushes before, but this wasn't the same.
Then she lowered her hand and the glow or light just faded and it was like we could see her Spirit drifting up to meet with the Lord right there. I am not saying to anyone that if your loved one doesn't do this that they aren't going to Heaven. I just feel a need to testify as to what I experienced myself to be a true fact that for myself, if there was any (not that there was. lol) doubt of a life after death and being in the Presence of God, there is NO DOUBT now.
We live in a dark time people, and time is of the essense here. If you don't have a relationship with God, get one! Ask Jesus into your heart. Tell Him you believe He came to die for our sins and He has a place in eternity with God for you. Trust me, Your eternity depends on it!
I am at peace with my moms passing. Will I miss her? Of course! But thats part of our human nature grieving process, but my Spirit is singing praises this morning! Mom has gone home : )
