The Ultimate Gift: Embracing the Joy of Eternal Love

The death of a loved one shatters the lives of those left behind. In our grief and despair, we pray to everything holy that this is not the end. We need desperately to believe that our loved ones have not left us and that we will see them again. Despite what common sense might dictate, we pray for the peace, comfort, and serenity–and yes, the joy–that can come only from knowing that death is nothing more than a transition and that human consciousness lives on forever.
