This is a love insight into when death came visiting throughout your life. Instead of filling you with fear it has clearly done quite the opposite. I like your beliefs in communicating with your love ones after they have departed. Good luck in the contest. All best. Ulla

Hello. I enjoyed reading your essay, and was so moved by your story, that I had to reach for a paper tissue to dab away my tears. I can relate to all you have said, and I do believe that the people who once shared their lives with us still watch over us from beyond. May I share a message I once received from someone I loved -
'Death is but a journey
That every Soul must take
Age plays no part
Your Destiny is written
From the first beat of your heart'

Good luck in the contest
Annette

What a deeply moving, motivational essay, filled with love and a connection to the universe that I admit, I envy.

From a writing perspective, the way you moved to reply to the prompt was very intimate, and continued to walk deeper into your belief of a perpetual presence and your complete peace with death.

Well done.

I agree with you life is for ever and death is nothing but a change of cloths to our souls. Uncle James story moved me. Certainly he did not die. Wish you all the best in the contest

Terrific. I admire what you've said and the bravery with which you've said it. Your examples are spectacular and your defense of your experience admirable. That truly seems the bravest thing you write here -- a defense of your right to own your own experience. I admire that.

One thing I noticed:
The doctors' said her -- don't think you need an apostrophe here.

Thanks

Your story is amazing, captivating and very well written. You have told some very compelling stories of situations that might cause a person to give up and crumble as a person, instead, you have a healthy outlook that you have shared with all of us.

Great job. Good luck in the contest,
Rhonda

Well written treatise on overcoming fear of death. Adequately summed in the final paragraph. Loved the line "there is no death, just a change of clothes for our souls." Emotionally evocative language. Good job.

Hello :)

I really enjoyed your story about death of very dear people in your life, Uncle James, your mom, and your best friend's husband. You believe there is death after life and you feel a connection to them. The story is very well written with an intriguing plot and real characters. Good job!
