I didn't realize something, and I'm surprised

Hi, all this time I'd been thinking about how devastating it is for a person not to be able to talk to their loved one anymore, but I thought to myself, what if they are the ones devastated that they can't talk to you? We tend to make it about our loss (how can we not?), but depending on where a person's soul is, I have overlooked the other side of grief.

I had a dream after my mom died where she spoke to me from a monstrous place. She said "It IS bad. You were right." I hope that she's in purgatory.

I had an atheist friend die over a year ago. I often think of her and what she’s experiencing now.

Oh gosh I wonder what she was referring to.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that.
