The Light of Death - E-book - ePub

By writing the book The Light of Death, it is my hope that the people who have fear of dying may find another way to look at death, as a natural termination at this life, and a rebirth into the light of love. My intention is to be able to convey a sense of peace in the process of dying. I have during my work in hospitals and nursing homes, as an assistant nurse, experienced the death of many people, they all died, with the same peace and tranquillity.
In my opinion, the different religious beliefs has coursed much unnecessary anxiety in people. Maybe as children some has been threaten with God as the one who punish if they did not behave ­in a certain way or specially in relation to sexual behaviour.  This may have coursed, that some may have become afraid of God,  the one they have being told, they had to face, when they die. My own experience relates to my father's death, which happened the first of February 1994, this is the reason for writing this book.
Combined with my own experience I have furthermore interviewed four people, who has lost either a father or a mother. In telling their stories and part of my own, there is left out names and particulars in order to protect the individual, therefore there will be people named as "the person".    My experience is, that most people are afraid of dying right up to the end, and then in the last moment, they really find out what is awaiting them, (the light), but why be scared for so many years, when it is possible to live the whole of your life in peace with the thought of dying.
It is not only in the moment of death, that we can experience light, but also during our life time.  In the moment of death, the brain is not analysing or dis­trusting, we experience what we experience. The more we open up for the light during our life, then it will no longer be the light of death, but the light of life and death, we will experience. In the chapter, the meaning of life, I explain my beliefs in bringing light into our lives.
The stories about life, death and the light, are from experience during my childhood and work as an alternative therapist. Even if I some­times write as this ­is the universal truth, It is "only" my own experi­ence, unless I use references.
