When last person you know dies this happeneds

Geez, Happy New Year!


Seriously though, you will have moved on.

Do you miss your life in your mother's womb?
Are you sad that your entire existence there has been forgotten?
No, because it was eclipsed by something far more amazing.

Same deal with the next step.

Last Memorial Day I went to where my great grandfather and great grandmother were buried in the corner of a pasture. I planted flowers on their graves and on my great aunts grave that died on Christmas Eve at 15 years old in 1913. Never met them and only have a couple of pictures of them. After the aunts death, there are tons of pictures of family from this small Oklahoma Town. It did make me wonder if any of my great grandkids will ever visit my grave, because there are probably 40 or so from this family and only 4 that I know of have ever been back in the family cemetery.

You have 40 great grandkids, and you're whining about not being remembered?

Please, that's like a Muslim in Germany complaining about the slow wi-fi...

So?

FU

I have looked at old grave stones & wondered if anyone remembers that person, if they have any descendants that remember them or knew of them, it does make you think.

Only the ego wants to be recognized and remembered, the spirit soul doesn't care about the dead body, or the past

All too soon one wakes up one morning and realizes but for their spouse all siblings all parents grand parents aunts uncles cousins are all gone. It is terrifying in one respect because on a daily basis your mind wanders to days gone by. Reality is there is no guarantee there will be that many tomorrows for me as health issues seem to become more apparent. Its hard to not live in the past feel sorry for ones self.. pout mourn blah blah blah... then ONE moment in time it occurs to us that we are not done yet there is still time to make a mark in this world that is enduring. First of all look at your children your grand children they are a piece of you as you are a piece of your parents. That is life going on.. that is YOU going on... also make what time you have a joyeous time not sad and full of self pity. Care about others more than yourself, be thoughtful and understand your kids will one day be in your shoes.

Its a cycle and its up to us to make the most of our time. help those we can help, you will be remembered more than you would ever know.

Sadly why?

I was talking to the wife about this recently, why do people want to be remembered?

Thank you.

I collected as much of my family history as I could. The way I see it, I can try to remember these people. They really existed and we can remember that they were.

Just for the record, the people that killed you will be.

So what

Is having kids ,kind of like being immortal?

Bruce Who??

So true, never take anything or anyone for granted. That's the soul crusher.

Then leave something behind - a movie, a book, etc... Make a name for yourself.

Very true. People need to remember that we are just visitors here in the physical. Our real home is in the heavens. All who love us and watch over us are there. They never forget us.

That is not what he said.

Are you kidding?


Doesn't anyone believe that they are going to die, be judged, and eventually end up in heaven or hell for all eternity?


That's immortality.


We're all immortal.


The soul can not die. Ever.


Better make the right choice and quit worrying about what people are doing after you die. Worry about what you are doing after you die.

very solemn thread.

So what plans do you have after death everyone,me I don't know much but I think I will know everything after death and hoow it all links toghther

If you all truly knew how special each and every one of you is, you would understand the truth. Everything plays a big part on the stage of life - there's nothing more or less significant. Instead everything is extremely significant and those memories, those emotions felt, those relationships torn apart or kindled together all those things will never be forgotten. Those moments in your life which are happy, or sad, are like gems as they fit into the infinite crown of the Creator. There is only one of us truly here.

I know it will sound weird, but I honestly DONT understand death! I am 49 and I have not had deaths in the family yet. Both of my parents and their siblings all alive in their 90's, so I have no experience with loosing a loved one yet!
I just can't wrap my head around that idea. I often wonder what my life will be like when my parents and aunts and uncles are gone. How will I feel? What will I do during the holidays? Where do they go when they die? Do they "see" me/us? What will happen to their graves and mine too? Will weeds overtake them?
Will anyone remember me or know who I am/was when they walk by my grave?
Soooo many questions, soooo little answers....

I really HOPE we get answers when go up there! Or I'm going to be truly pissed off.... Otherwise I'm gonna come back and haunt everyone that did me wrong or pissed me off....LOL

I'm 43 and have lost so many dear friends and family it's a wonder I'm not more depressive than I am

Agreed, a trip thru a cemetery will expose mortality

That means u are STRONG! Good for you!
