Sandra,
Most of us posters tend to jump too far ahead onto the afterlife because that is what this board is about and forget that there will be things we will miss and grieve over, as humans when we leave and move on. So I do hear you grief over the physical aspects of human loss of your current human family as others may grieve over the loss of the physical feel of swimming in the ocean or the feel of making angels in a twilight sparkling snow with the street lights shinning and smelling the cold crisp air. What everyone says about the reunions, I too believe to be true, but there is also something to grieve about. No matter how much contact I might have with my sweet husband should he die before me, nothing would quite have the human flavor of him hugging me as he does at night on this plane. We are all about change and expanding our experiences yet we still remember the past ones. I think that Monroe brought out in UJ some of what I’m saying as did my favorite film;
What Dreams May Come but it also causes me to grieve in spite of the afterlife adventure in love. Bittersweet!!!
Love, Jean

P.S. In the former post mentioned above, I had just read Michael Newton's book,
Destiny of Souls, which traced some of his patients past life relationships and how they felt about them. Interesting!
Much Love and Emathy one this human/spirit deleima.J
