Remembering Our Loved Ones Who Have Passed On....

[GloriousPoetry]

I dedicate this thread to all Avalon members who have experienced the loss of a loved one whether a relative, friend, or other significant person.

I invite anyone on this forum who would like to share and remember their loved one by writing a bit about the person...

In Mexican culture today and tomorrow Nov.2 we honor our loved ones who have passed on (El Dia De Los Muertos) . Altars are traditionally created to offer thanks to the departed in honor of their memory or guidance and protection of those who remain on Earth.

My brother David died in a car accident at the age of 23 and his loss has been the greatest in my life. David was a gentle soul who loved music and had an amazing sense of humor. David had a hard time on Earth and I believe that he wanted to leave Earth.

David has visited me in dreams revealing to me details about future events in my life and about how happy he is where he is at now. David also manifested an object for me through a boyfriend and in loving memory I also dedicate this thread to him.
I miss you David.

I wanted to share a picture of David however I do not know how to download a picture from my email on to this thread..

In Brazil the date in remembrance of the dead ('Finados') is tomorrow, 02/11.
My dear and beloved father died in June last year.
In memory to my father, I dedicate this post.

Much Love from your son in flesh and brother in spirit, Wander

I was just thinking of my father who died 41 years ago this month. I was 15 years old when I found him dead after an apparent heart attack at age 50. Years later I would be at the side of one of my 4 brothers who died from esophageal cancer, then 13 months later with my only sister who had complications from a surgery for cancer.

Time cannot totally heal these wounds but has helped ease the pain. Each day is a gift to us and those we are privileged to encounter. Thank you gloriouspoetry for starting this thread.

My son, Michael Christopher, was 23 years old when he took his life. His Rebirth Day is December 10, 1994. He’s intelligent, sensitive and still a dear, Dear Soul. Michael is my greatest teacher on Love, compassion, forgiveness, understanding ...

For Daddy and Grandma. Their stability and ethics.

My mother died Dec. 5, 1993 from Lou Gehrig’s disease after a long two years of slowly becoming basically paralyzed. Even though we did not have a good relationship for the most part while she was alive, I learned so much during this time I cannot even tell you. She faced death and dying with such incredible courage and grace I will be forever changed from the experience. I miss her still.

My elder blood brother David made the karmic choice to ritualistically curtail his human experience in the summer of 1987, two weeks prior to my 28th birthday. This personal catalyst has since shaped my life and worldview unceasingly. Over the years, on three separate occasions, I have been given (unsolicited) messages from him by psychic women who have crossed my life path. All have said, in essence, that he is with me, that he continually watches over and protects me (as he did in physical form), and that we shall meet again. For this, I am eternally grateful.

I send the frequency of love out deep into this unfathomable mystery we call the universe, to and for him, and for all of our loved ones who have crossed the threshold. Some connections in this life can never be broken, the energetic cords transcending time and space.

My mother, who continued to show me the path after she left this plane of existence, who was so curious to learn anything new up until that final stroke, who was the only one who would listen to me about all the exciting new things I was learning online, and who is still the only one who listens. My mother who was so hard to get along with, who drove me nuts with her interfering ways, and whom I desperately wish I had had the wisdom and patience to understand.

Both my parents, all four grandparents, uncles and aunts, great aunts, cousins and friends. You know so you are. Missing all of you. Oh, and not to forget my beloved cats and dogs.

If I should die and leave you here awhile,
Be not like others, sore undone, who keep
Long vigils by the silent dust, and weep.
For my sake - turn again to life and smile,
Nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do
Something to comfort other hearts than thine.
Complete those dear unfinished tasks of mine
And I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

---

Come not, when I am dead,
To drop thy foolish tears upon my grave,
To trample round my fallen head,
And vex the unhappy dust thou wouldst not save.
There let the wind sweep and the plover cry;
But thou, go by.

Child, if it were thine error or thy crime
I care no longer, being all unblest:
Wed whom thou wilt, but I am sick of Time,
And I desire to rest.
Pass on, weak heart, and leave me where I lie:
Go by, go by.

For my Nana, wish I would have shared many conversations with you. I know that you would have had much to teach me. We'll be together once more one day.
