It's probably pretty obvious from some of my previous posts that I believe in ghosts and angels. Right now one of my favorite shows to watch whenever I get a chance is Ghost Whisperer, not b/c of superb acting or intricate plot structures, of which there are neither, but b/c of the concept of talking to ghosts. And at the end of each episode Jennifer Love Hewitt has once again helped a spirit to cross over into the light. Wow! How cool would that be. I'd like to be able to talk to ghosts, but my experiences have only been to glimpse and sense.
It's human nature to wonder what happens after death, and those w/ a strong faith have no fear and no doubt. The rest speculate through literary works such as Hamlet and A Christmas Carol and television shows such as Touched by an Angel and Highway to Heaven and films about immortal vampires and the undead zombies. All these attest to the fact that we want to believe that death isn't the end. We believe that ghosts walk the earth b/c of unfinished business, that for some reason their souls are not at peace. I know I've said that I sense Mom being w/ me, and that has comforted me, but what if she's lingering here b/c I'm not strong enough to let her go? What if I'm asking her to remain here to guide and watch over me when she could be enjoying her heavenly rewards? Is it possible to do both, be an earthly guide and a heavenly presence? I want Mom to be at peace, and if I let her go, that will bring me peace. Maybe if I make this my mantra I'll actually begin to believe it.
