#Perspective | Would I bring someone I loved, back from the dead...

article image placeholderYour Prompts, March 2024 | Swell
You know, if there was some way that I could negotiate with the gods that be or the spirits that be like, hey, can I have my father here? Even if it's just for 30 minutes or an hour before his pain start to kick in, if I can just have that. Be selfish for a moment, I would love that again, rationally. And, you know, in my heart, I wouldn't want my dad to come back to a place associated with pain

But I refuse to let that part surface because I know my dad so much better where he is, you know? So. But I understand completely why you will want to see your dad again. I have so many questions. So many. But, um. But anyway, I get it. So, yeah, thanks for, this is a good post. Thanks

You know, I would love to ask those questions, but at the same time, I definitely, definitely understand where you're coming from, because our loved ones are not in pain anymore. Why would we want to wish them back to this place? You know, I'd rather my dad continue to be in a peaceful place, pain free. And I know you want the same for your father. So thanks so much for responding to this

That balance of love and pain can be so difficult to hit at an even keel.

And I know you already know, too, that you can pray or meditate or what have you and allow yourself to become immersed in your feelings of love for him. And if you do that and wrap your arms about yourself with your eyes closed for at least two minutes, probably three minutes would be better. And think about your father. That's probably about as close as you're going to be able to get

Wonderful suggestion, MJ. Thank you so, so much. I'll definitely be taking your advice. Yeah. There are some times where I genuinely feel his presence during, I don't know, certain times when I think of him and. But it's only, it's. It's only happened a couple of times, but I would definitely like to be intentional in the way that you proposed. So thank you so, so much for taking the time to respond to my swell
