After Death Nothing Can Be Done

A distant relative of mine passed away yesterday. Although it was not my duty still I feel had I kept her with me and served her in her end days, she would have been happy. I feel guilty. __________________________________________________________________________________________ All those around you, Neighborhood people, friends Your near and dear ones Treat them with respect Talk nicely, be polite, never fight Accept all as they are, adjust Even if others are bad to you, be good Do your duty to the best of ability Never do tit for tat Try not to sin Be helpful If you follow the above You will have a clear conscience, peaceful, calm mind You will feel good about yourself Death can come to anybody, any moment If that happens to someone known to you You will have no guilt in mind You will feel I was good I did my duties to the best of my abilities You will live a life of no regrets Otherwise regret is lifelong... Before death all good can be done AFTER DEATH NOTHING CAN BE DONE!!

Dear Rama, often when one dies we feel the regret of things we should have done. But I am sure she remembers every kind smile and visit from you. Know that regrets have no place in the sight of love. Beautifully expressed from a tender heart. Thanks for sharing.

Yes Rama, Even after death memories in time fade. Yet the poetry here is so positive and uplifting, that in itself will help others in the same situation..

This is so sweet and compassionate. In my country, we hardly know our neighbors so unless we become friends with a few of them, we won't even hear they are suffering. And i know what you mean, I should be better at serving those around me, for sure!

You cannot be blamed because some died when you did not expect it. After death? You know I dedicated my life praying for the souls departed. God hears all our prayers. ~~

Thanks for the advice. Will pray. I know it is not my fault, but I feel she wanted to stay with me more so after her death. Is her soul trying to tell me this. Not sure. But prayer I will surely do. God bless! Take care Rama
