India Funeral (from http://intervoiceonline.org
website)
Spoiler: Voices of Dead Relative (not dead?)
This was posted on the intervoice site, life
beyond death, a first-hand experience from India.
Strange, in that she finally ascended after the
christian funeral.

My sister in Law died this Saturday after a long battle with breast
cancer.
I have been helping to organise her funeral the last few days. I have felt
her around, and have heard her voice a few times.
Her body is at home, so that we can sit and talk to her, and say goodbye
ifwe wish too. Which is such a nice way to deal with death.
Before she died, I told her she could come and talk to me if she wanted
to,
as long as she didnt harass me. She said she would let me know when she
was
safe, then she would be off.
I sat next to her bed yesterday, to say what I wanted to say, and heard
her
voice (inside my head). She told me she was unsure what to do, she thought
her Mother was coming to get her, but she hadnt arrived yet.
I told her to relax, and try and think of a times when her mother and her
shared lots of love, and that might help to strngthen the link.
However she was still about, I felt her presence strongly on a few
occasions. I was fini****ng off her funeral notice, trying to think of what
to write.
When I finished I felt her with me, and she said she "i like what you have
written".
Tonight, a Buddhist Lama came around. At the beginning all the famly were
in
the room, and I felt her kiss me on the cheek ( I feel tactile
sensations).
She said "Thank you."
Then the Lama started reading his chants and prayers over her, I heard her
voice say
" Hes opened the door." Then
"Its much better than I thought it would be."
Then I felt that she left.
I always thought once you died, everyone was there to meet you. Maybe
sometimes it doesnt happen that way.
Makes me think that I too would too like a Lama when I die, to open that
door for me too.
(She is also having a Catholic funeral, so maybe her Mother was waiting
for
that!!)
Certainly gives me food for thought.
### PASTE 2ND FUNERAL (CATHOLIC) ###
Thanks for your kind concern Mike.
I know who the voices are not by the sound of the voice, but by the
feelings/energy that accompanies them.
When I hear family, I usually get an overwhelming feeling of love before
they talk, and I can feel who it is before they speak. It is because I
keep
them in my heart. And my heart can recognise them without words.
We had the funeral yesterday at the Catholic church and it was very
beautiful, very moving, about 400 people there.
One of our friends who is a shaman, stood up to do a reading, and told
everyone, how my sister in law had been coming and talking to her in the
last few days, every time she got in the car to drive somewhere! She said
that if the Traffic officers pulled her over for speeding, they would
probably think there was something wrong, as she was talking to an empty
seat beside her.
Seems I am not the only one shes been talking to
Anyhow, I didnt hear a dickey bird at all throughout the service. Until
the
very end.
The Priest was sprinkling water over the coffin, and calling to the saints
to take her etc, and She was there.
She said "Oh My God, Its so Beautiful. Then she started crying.
She said, "Everyone is here its amazing. Dont ever be afraid of dying."
On the way home in the car, I felt her close. But now she was happy and
somewhat festive.
She was dressed in the clothes she had on in her coffin. And looked like
she
did when she died. Then she said watch this.
In an instant she looked just like she did on her Wedding day, in her
wedding dress.
"Eat your heart out" She laughed. Thanks for everything you have done so
much, and thanks for the photo.
Then she was gone.
When she was dying, I had told her that I thought when people died, that
they Id not have to staythe way the looked or were at that time.
I told her she didnt have to have a sick body anymore, that she just had
to
think of a time when she felt lots of love, like on her wedding day. And
she
would be tranformed to that state.
We had put a photo of her on her wedding day on the top of the coffin, so
we
could remember at her most beautiful time.
It obviously helped her to do so.
I think there must be a transition time, between death and going over to
the
loved ones, so that people can say goodbye before they pass over.
To me it emphasises the im****tance of these rituals that are performed at
death, by churches and religions. I am sure they provide the energies and
the formats for people to be able to move on.
Wellworned passageways etched through history. We often leave them behind
in
these modern times of rationalism and science. With what consequences?
