My glimpse of Death
Death happens to all
of us, it is not a failure
and neither is this article a
story of failure, in fact it’s rather beautiful.
My reading of the Tibetan
Buddhist’s idea of death is that one dies well,
that is without leaving any
negative emotions that tie you to the earth plain.
If death is fearful, then
that is a different issue and one that can be considered
at anytime so
that one can enjoy all stages of life.
Hypnotherapy or counselling and
many other disciplines can help.
An osteopath helped my energy flow after the death of my eldest daughter.
I met a lady three weeks or
so before her death from cancer, I would not have known she was ill if I had
not have been told, she had a surrounding of love
that was recognisable to me.
Also recognisable to me was the worm of fear
that I would not be such a ‘good’ and 'courageous’ person.

ten women, P Duncker & V Wilson

There is much I cannot
remember surrounding the time when my mother died
of cancer. We were unaware of the cancer during the proceeding weeks
to hospitalisation even though she was exceptionally tired. Although she was only 64, I think she was prepared for death and accepted death.
I think she managed her illness and death and that that was respected and accommodated by the medical personnel and chaplaincy of the hospital.
She was cared for with care at Airedale hospital.

Some years later I had a
‘dream’ regarding cancer and death
that I am happy to share. When I recounted this ‘dream experience’ to a complete non-believer who’s cancer had returned she found it to be ‘strangely comforting’.

I was not the sort of person
‘weird’ things happened to.
Asleep, I was suddenly aware
of eyes penetrating mine,
I thought, ‘OK, I’m awake,’
and drifted off.
Then the eyes demandingly
went right through my pupils, ‘OK, I’M AWAKE.’
I was aware of a tiny me
standing a long way back from a vast heaven to earth curtain or time warp,
behind this were bleachers, those serried ranks of benches one higher than the
other, they stretched from left to right filling the scene.
On one bench sat an image I
took to be my mother, my impression was of an indistinct shape wearing a white
nighty type gown, a long way behind her (in time) was another figure, I took
this figure to her left to be a female relative.
My mother communicated
telepathically and I responded in crude, cumbersome, pedantic earth language, I
felt graceless and inarticulate and little, yet understood and accepted. Whenever a reply was require from
me, I responded with, “That’s
cool”, this is NOT a phrase I use!
My present memory is that she
repeated that cancer is just part of life and that was fine and without any visible
indication she asked the other lady to confirm this and the confirmation was
supportive. She said that death was just
part of life, there was no pain.
The whole experience was just
so indescribably naturally peaceful.
The acceptance and universality
throughout time was inclusive.
The photo is of my family, I’ve never met my
paternal grandfather– yet.
