Hello from Heaven with Archangel Azrael
Death is the only given in life as everything must come to an end. It isn't the final good-bye though as we simply leave this earthly plane and return to Source/Spirit/God/Goddess. However, you envision the after-life. It's the mystical Isle of Avalon, the widely-known Heaven of pure bliss. It's here that we are able to rejuvenate and rest our weary spirits after this incarnation before preparing for the next life.
The afterlife is a place of beauty, unconditional love, and bliss. Of course to us it seems scary because we've been conditioned to fear death but ashes to ashes, dust to dust. We were born from the Mother and to Her, we must return.
Recently you may have found yourself thinking more about a loved one who has crossed over. There may be tears shed in grief and mourning but there may also be laughter and joy at the life they led. Know they are truly at peace and cocooned in the unconditional love of Source. If you find yourself just wanting to speak with them one last time, or would just like to see them again, try praying to Archangel Azrael. Ask for a visitation in your dreams. However, it's my sincerest belief that the world of spirit overlaps our very own so they are always capable of hearing us and answering, if they so choose.
I have sat at my grandmother's graveside and spoken to her, updated her on the happenings in our lives, and have always felt her presence. I knew she was listening. A gentle breeze would pick up but only swirl around her grave or a butterfly would suddenly flutter by after I speak. We don't necessarily hear words or see visions of them so as always, look for the signs.
