Hi Shandieebony...

Thus have I heard: that always there is someone there "on the other side" to meet us and help us orientate ourselves - either a relative, or an angelic being or spiritual guide who has overseen our embodiment... Sometimes if the death is violent or highly emotional, I can imagine that one might be so put off balance as to not see these welcomers (which may explain why people whose body has died in such circumstances can often take a while to lose their confusion - sometimes months or years - although I feel that that relates more to the past than the present, as things are speeding up these days).

But have no fear - we embodied ones are greatly loved and respected, as it is a pretty tough assignment to embody on this plane; and we are always, I believe, attended and cared for by the many beings in the next world who have offered to do this service. And as I say, the ones who have been our spiritual guides during the embodiment would not leave us until we were safely oriented in our new dimension, and their job properly completed.

Of course I don't have personal, conscious experience of this; but what I have read and what I undestand of Spirit and Creation would suggest that the above is true. You may find the Tibetan Book of the Dead (I think that's what its called from memory) gives you a useful picture of events. According to some very highly evolved people I know, one goes when ready into a "Bardo" or Life-Review, where the life in all its minute details are run past us, and our guides and / or Soul reveals to us the spiritual lessons and significance of each happening and decision.

But Life goes on - as our earthly chapter closes, the next opens, and after that, others await! Of that I am certain!

Blessings,
Pounamu
