Birth and Death
"Love is a light that leadeth in darkness." When we are born into this world we come into our mother's arms and are calmed by her love. As we die and are born into the next phase of our existence (whatever you believe that may be) aren't we also hoping to be caught delivered and received by loving hands? I help woman as they are having babies. The most beautiful births often times are homebirths. My neighbour is 87 and has come home from the hospital to have a homedeath. This idea was new and not a part of my life experience until now. Today she told her loved ones that she is finished here and said her goodbyes. She is now awaiting her delivery into the arms of her Creator. May much love and blessings follow her into this new birth.

i look at my grandma and i see her "ailments" as labour pains that will help her transition. it's very difficult for her and for us, but if you step back and you see the parkinsons and the alzheimers etc...you can see how they are pushing her along towards the end of her physical journey and helping her be more and more detached from this place, as she longs to the "delivered" (!!!) from it and into the next phase...
