Along Came a Spider by Mary Giuffre
“I am a mess of emotions,” she explained. “To know ahead of time that you are leaving and will not be with the people and everything you love so much is so cruel. To know ahead of time that someone you love so much is leaving you is so cruel. People say to me to make the best of the time we have left together but it is so difficult not to just cry all the time.” Feeling the sting of her unbearable sadness and knowing I was at a loss to console her with anything I might say, my day continued with mundane chores and seemingly endless reflection on the frailties of life, until down from the ceiling, dangling on a long silken thread, a delicate little spider lowered herself gracefully into my line of sight. Now, spider is one of my totems and she drops in on me occasionally, so unlike many people who would run for a broom (or for the hills), she’s welcome in my environment. According to Native American Spirituality, Grandmother Spider is said to have woven the original web of the physical world, which was used as the foundation for all life forms and her two-lobed body represents an infinity symbol. As there are no mistakes in God’s unlimited Universe, I knew Grandmother Spider was there to impart her wisdom once more and I was immediately reminded of what I know from the depth of my Being to be true. I see our physical body as a fancy new outfit, woven from the fabric of our external world that we choose to wear during the current incarnation of our spirit. I also believe that the process of dropping our bodies must be like the freedom we felt as young children being allowed to run naked on a beach. Liberated beings ~ unclothed ~ unencumbered ~ infinite innocence, capable of endless love and creativity. So for me there is something wonderful about death. I received this message today. “He passed away very peacefully yesterday, without pain or medication. He died in my arms with the kids at his side and took care of us right to his very last breath, as he didn't make us suffer watching him die a slow and painful death. For this, I will always be grateful.” As the Spirit of a loved one is released from this plane, earth’s energies shift, and a ripple is felt deep in the Souls of those left behind. At this time the rise and fall of emotion will beg for attention and we’re offered a unique circumstance to examine our own lives from a whole new perspective. If we open our eyes to the possibilities, and listen very closely, we’ll hear the answers to our heart’s desire for healing from that Spirit, who never really left us at all. ~ Go with the Flow!

June 22, 2010 - Death has been on my mind lately. It’s not that I’m concerned about my own inevitable passing, but because I recently received a heart wrenching e-mail, from a wonderful woman who, while caring for her husband as best she can, is watching helplessly as his body, shrunken from the ravages of chemotherapy is slipping away from her.
