Why me Lord
Each time “Why me Lord” could be heard from my thoughts to a grandiose listener. Over the last few years, life has been like a gently curving highway – some stop signs, though unbroken. Lately the pause has been in facilitating the “Angel Vigil”. Simply stated, this is being called upon to sit with another whose passing is imminent until the end of this world. Based on the premise no one should die alone. Humbling yet beautiful in fulfilling a purpose for another.
Tools are few, a glance around the room I might see music, books, pictures which are incorporated into the final time on this earth while holding the hand. I have heard many times the job is not for the faint of heart and yet it is, though the weakened heart/pulse is of another. I watch as many times the individual will attempt sitting up with hands stretched to touch the energies beyond this earth in complete comfort and trust. As the body shows signs of letting go, I have learned the physical flags giving a last wave at mortality for this lifetime.
Earlier in my life, both my father and uncle requested I become their rock in the event of a family members death. Making this choice could be a rock again ready to stay strong in spite of the energy of the room. The final statements I relay to the family or loved ones is the honor I felt being chosen at this time. A choice made between myself, my God and the individual from a higher level. Riches in life are felt rather than held. Nothing material will escort you in the last hours whereas your soul experience will be your review/reflection. Nobody dies alone even in a empty room, that I will testify too. “Why me Lord” my only response is thank you for this life, all the ups and downs included!
Namaste’
I praise an awesome God and the mystery. I know who I am.
