Kinda like a telephone call...

"It's the quality of last night's experience – not what it proves but what it was – that makes it worth putting down. It was quite incredibly unemotional: just the impression of her mind momentarily facing my own. Mind, not soul as we tend to think of soul. Certainly the reverse of what is called soulful. Not at all like a rapturous re-union of lovers. More like getting a telephone call or a wire from her about some practical arrangement. Not that there was any message – just intelligence and attention. No sense of joy or sorrow. No love, in our ordinary sense. No unlove. I had never in any mood imagined the dead is being so – well, so business-like. Yet there was an extreme and cheerful intimacy. An intimacy that had not passed through the senses or the emotions at all.
If this was a throw-up from my unconscious, then my unconscious must be a far more interesting the region region then the depth psychologists have led me to expect. For one thing, it is apparently much less primitive than my consciousness." --C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

    Love Is Stronger Than Death

    These entries are part of an upcoming book about love and grief, in honor of Corey Considine, my beautiful younger daughter. She was with us in physical form from August 12,1983 to June 6, 2013. It was a vehicle accident, at the end of a beautiful sunset she had just watched from her favorite hill. She was engaged to a wonderful young man, dabbling in art, planting gardens, planning her wedding, offering love, care, and healing to everyone she knew.

    Since that time, those of us who love her have had to work hard to deal with our grief and to be sure that the sense of loss does not overpower the love. To find a way to let our love for Corey grow. When your beloved is no longer walking on this earth, the love you had for them does not stop.
    Love is stronger than death.
