“What we call death is only an expansion of the soul, an enlargement of experience, a gateway into higher expressions of life and truth. “ Ernest Holmes

There is one infinite presence. All is connected to and comes from the infinite presence that is God. I recognize life as one harmonious unity which includes all that is or ever was. There is no end and no beginning to God; there is no end and no beginning to life. God is love, peace, joy, harmony, beauty and wonderment!

I am one with God, and as I know this is true for me, I know it is true for each person who reads this prayer. I know that I’m the perfect manifestation of God and I am that eternalness that is God. I recognize all the qualities of God every day and in every way.

The eternal presence of infinite life is everywhere. I accept that God is in everything, in life and in our physical death. I know that all that experience the death of a loved one in this life is comforted knowing that the soul of our loved one rests easily in the arms of God. And, I declare that although the physical body of our loved one is gone, s/he is always present in the hearts of the people whose life was touched by this soul. The soul’s true essence as Spirit lives on eternally. The soul’s light is kept alive in each person who knew him/her. I allow myself time to mourn the loss of a loved one and am comforted in knowing that even in the darkest times, God shows us the way.

Life is eternal and I am grateful that I know that there is no beginning and no ending to life. I am thankful for the time I had with my loved one in this life and I am grateful knowing that my loved one lives on in my heart. I’m grateful knowing that my eternal life is inundated with the qualities of God; those qualities of love, peace, joy, harmony, beauty and wonderment. Thank you God.

I release these words into Spirit and know that as I speak them, the universe responds in love.

And so it is.
