I've been thinking about this a lot.

I fully believe in the cycle of life. That once people have done what they were sent here to do or learn, then they go to the next stage, to contemplate the lessons they've learnt or taught in this lifetime before they begin their next turn on the wheel.

You miss the person like crazy, but I think my biggest comfort is that I know they're still around, that I can still talk to them, ask them for help or guidance, you may not get it in the same form you would have with them being on the earthly plane, but you still get it. It could be from the shape of a cloud (I've got a giggle happening here because I can imagine Lu doing rude cloud shapes to us all), a street sign that has a word in it to prompt you for the answer, all manner of things.

I've had a bit too much of the death thing in my life, have lost friends and family, but on the flip side of that, there have been some amazing births, children taking their first forays into the world on their own individual journeys.
