We all lose dear beings at some point in our lives, and we often consider what is happening when we die. In recent years, three people very close to me have died, and the beyond put me in mind more than usual.
Have you ever looked up and say hello to those who left us?
I do it sometimes, and I’m sure many of you have done so.
The big question is: do they listen?
I lost three people: a long -term colleague, Brad Mitchell; One of my best friends, Quinn toulon; and a family member, Tim Geske.
I used to send an SMS to Quinn almost daily, so it is undoubtedly one of those I admired and that I discussed during sporting events. The same goes for Tim by writing columns like this.
Tim was the only person to whom I sent my columns to have comments for more than ten years. He was in my confidence circle, and many others too. He never retained; He would tell me if something was mean, silly or ridiculous, and he would say if it was excellent.
Stay with me, America and Tim, I think you look, so I hope it makes sense, my friend.
Tim was not only my writing box; It was the kind of guy who would help everything – moving, divorce, a lost job. It didn’t matter; Tim would give you the hat of his head, the food on his plate and moved your sofa in three stairs if necessary. The world could use more TIM. We will Honor Tim’s inheritance this weekend And toast his kind and generous mind at the beach he called at home.
Speaking of minds, do you believe that we continue as ourselves once the body expires? Is there a resurrection, a paradise or a hell? Earlier this year, I spoke with Ron Sachs About these subjects, and he gave me a book entitled “Life After Life”.
Initially published in 1975, the author, Dr. Raymond MoodyAdopt a scientific approach to the beyond by studying the cases of those who have experienced imminent death experiences (a field he invented as NDES).
He compiles the common points shared in these cases and offers an overview of what can remain beyond for all of us. He is described as “science meets the Spirit in an exploration of the beyond”. I usually read something like dresde files or I recently finished the FARSER TRILOGY and “Expeditionary force”. Read a book like this is not standard, but as I started the other evening, a history chain program with Dennis Quaid called “Saintes shit“About life after death was broadcast, so it seemed significant.
On the contemplative side, I hope you will find these thoughts as interesting as I am. Maybe Tim and Quinn can hear me when I speak to the clouds during a victory over large Gators or laugh aloud in a new column that I wrote. I have always believed in paradise and hell, but hearing it in a different context in this book was enlightening.
On the practical side of the afterlife, while you and our loved ones could continue as ourselves in mind, I am almost sure that we will not be able to connect to our social networks, to our credit card or credit accounts after the next phase of existence. The idea of Digital inheritance planning Is something you need to add to your vocabulary and task list if you haven’t already.
Your life after digital death must be taken into account, therefore including relatives and your will or your lawyer in your digital inheritance planning is essential. Secure inheritance plans are available, and you have to check this box for yourself and your loved ones to minimize the headaches they may meet. Think about it: Does your spouse pay your mortgage online? Credit cards? IRS payments? Do not leave these questions to someone else to understand; Develop a plan and be ready.
Although financial access is essential, other digital assets, such as social media accounts, must also be taken into account.
Facebook has a solid way to manage this; They allow loved ones to request that a page be changed in commemorative status. The commemoration of an account remains active, allowing people to continue to share thoughts, comments and images on the person.
I believe that my three lost relatives are in a better place and that they are part of this world of another kingdom.
I also think that technology has introduced new considerations that we must all approach while we are preparing and our families to the unknown. I encourage you to develop a plan in this regard. I hope that today’s chronicle inspires you to read “Life After Life”.
I often think about it, because it offers a new perspective that I had never considered before.
It doesn’t matter that you believe in Boogeyman, Santa Claus, God or Allah, this book speaks to everyone about human experience, and the death of the body is an important part of this trip.
What happens next? We will all discover one day – this is a guarantee. Until then, put yourself working on your digital estate planning.
This column is dedicated to the memory of Tim and Normie geskeWith love.
