When Someone Dies

My girlfriend and her husband Married a long tome Her husband was very sick Off to the hospital he went A kidney problem he had He had surgery In hospital he stayed To heal and get strong Life was going well Then after a few years Then he felt unwell Feeling very tired He went to bed early To get the rest he need She went to bed to My girlfriend in the morn A shock made her scream To wake up to find- Her husband was dead Laying down beside her Does his spirit haunt the house? Or does his spirit soar on high? I ponder this question

that is a horrible shocker I'm sure. In different circumstances I once found my long term partner in a coma and I screamed also. Thankfully he was able to get to the hospital and be saved. It's awful to lose your life partner in such an abrupt departure like that. I hope you can have the opportunity to be with her as she processes and grieves her loss.

So sad, Darlene. I have often pondered where the soul goes after death, and I always remember my bible studies. The soul sleeps until judgement day. :)

The spirit is soulful and will be there if she needs it. There are many ways a passed spirit may communicate with loved ones left behind. Thank positive and look for familiar things the husband carried about. Blessings for you and your friend as she grieves. Hugs, Bill

Hello Joseph May, I wonder if her husband's spirit is still with her for a little while then soars upwards. Enjoy your day my friend. Thank you for the lovely comment.

Death is a two part exercise. The body remains on earth to be buried forever. His soul descends to meet His Creator and I am sure that God's compassion is always evident. He will now eternally live in perfect bliss.
