Death of A Parent – Grieving Words…

crying

Coping with death & grief is one of life’s most difficult challenges, but dealing with the death of a parent comes with its own type of grieving and issues.

Something instantly happens when your parent dies.  It is one of those rare moments that time seems to slow down so drastically that you wonder if is really is possible for time to stand still.

Can time stand still and race backwards in ‘rewind mode’ at mock speed at the same time?

Standing in the spot where time and space have stopped, you are suddenly no longer able to deny the fact that you never wanted to believe was true — we are mortal and we die.

The parents that seemed so strong – full of authority and direction- are no longer here.

It is in that moment we are born into adulthood.  Gone are the days that we believe that life goes on forever.  Now we are the ‘grownups,’ the ‘voice of reason,’ and the ‘example’ for the next generation.

We are no longer kids.

At that moment that stands still, it is hard to breath.  If we do, it means we are moving on.  Accepting the next breath and the inevitable role that we are now the parents.

It is now that we realize that the role we identified with as a ‘child’ vanishes with our parent’s last breath.  But even so we rebel against this, wanting to cling to that little child we were again…caressed in our parent’s embrace and told — “You are loved unconditionally. You are safe.  I will protect you.  Don’t be afraid.”

When is it that we are ready to forge ahead without the guidance and wisdom of a loving parent.  For a lot of us, we will never be ready, but will do so anyway.

What if you looked at grieving the death of a parent differently?  What if you knew that although the physical body their spirit resided in passed away, they were still very much alive?

Would it make it easier to smile?  Would you be able to start to mourn less and live more?

Would you believe and feel them present during celebrations or even when you sat alone weeping with sadness?

What if you heard from them again?  One more time.  And they let you know they were OK.  More than OK, but happy and whole and still loving you as they always have.

So many want and need this.  Many have.  Greta Reimann has.

Her story is Chapter 6 Daddy’s Little Girl in the book They’re Not Gone by A.P.Morris.

(an excerpt from pg. 81)

As her reading ended, Greta felt like she could

fly. For the first time since his death she realized
that what her dad wanted most was for her to look
inside herself and realize what made her tick. He
wanted her to fulfill her dreams. From that day forward,
Greta felt free to follow her heart knowing
that honoring herself was the greatest gift she could
give him.

Her reunion with her dad has changed her outlook
on life by giving her the freedom to manifest
her own hopes and dreams. She is truly grateful
that she was able to hear from him through Ricky.
She still talks to her dad every night knowing definitively
that he hears her and loves her as much as he
always did. Although Greta still misses her dad being
here with her physically, she finds great comfort
knowing that he’s not gone.

We all mourn differently, for different reasons, and for different amounts of time.  But one thing that seems to be innate in everyone is that no matter how old we get, we still want to feel the love of our parents.

I wish for you – to feel that love.  It didn’t die.  It can’t.  Love is forever.

They’re NOT Gone.

Wishing you love & peace,

A. P. Morris

Author Sharing Hope for the Holidays with New Book titled They’re Not Gone.

Phoenixville, PA – November 10, 2009 – Author,  A.P. Morris, is releasing a non-fiction book, They’re Not Gone, to coincide with the holiday season.

They’re Not Gone shares stories of 13 people whose loved ones passed away and their eventual ‘reconnection’ through the assistance of local Psychic Medium, Ricky Wood. Each story contains ‘evidence’ that their spirits are still very much alive.  Wood delivers specifics from names and dates to mannerisms and jokes to verify the spirit who is communicating.

“I wanted to share my story to give others hope, especially during the holiday season when missing them can be even more difficult.  I am now 100% positive that our loved ones don’t vanish with death, they are still very much alive,” Morris said.

A.P. Morris’s story in the book tells of the loss of her brother to suicide when she was just 16 years old.  After hearing from him through Psychic medium Ricky Wood, her life was transformed.  Ricky Wood referred to a nickname of her brother’s that she had never told a soul about, allowing her to know definitively that he was still ‘alive.’

“I spent so many holiday seasons sad and depressed because I missed my brother so desperately.  If I’d only known that he wasn’t just gone, I think it may have been a whole lot easier for me,” A.P. Morris, author, said.

Each story offers a different type of love, loss, and lesson. Whether you’ve lost a child, spouse, parent, or great friend, there is a relationship that everyone can relate with.  Following each story, there is a question and answer section where the reader gets to learn more about Ricky’s beliefs based on his years of experience working as a Psychic Medium.

“I’m very excited to have the opportunity to share some amazing true life stories.  The information contained in this book could change so many people’s lives.  I know – it changed mine,” Morris said.

A.P. Morris feels that it was easier for her to believe in the continued existence of our spirits after she received ‘proof.’  Her hope is that by sharing these stories it will bring peace to many people’s lives, especially during this holiday season.

On December 2, 2009 you can purchase a copy of the book “They’re Not Gone,” for just $16.95 by visiting www.Amazon.com or www.theyrenotgone.com .

Meet the Author – at the Holiday Bazaar at Phoenixville Middle School (hosted by the National Junior Honor Society) on Saturday December 12, 2009 from 10am – 3pm.
