‘Heartbroken’: Tributes flow after death in
 Cairns Ironman triathlon

You don't have to convince me that there is life after death, and I mostly resonate with what Dr. Eben Alexander says in the You Tubes in this post, but ...

from down here on the Earth plain life seems a little heartless when you read stories in the newspapers such as the mother's loss of a young daughter, or a daughter's loss of her father in a race to keep himself fit for life.

While it is good to hear personal stories of hope such as Dr. Alexander tells in his podcast interviews and books (which I haven't read) I still feel for people like Lisa Curry, who have to live the rest of her life dwelling on her daughter's relatively early death.

I haven't suffered a loss like Lisa has in life, and if I did, even knowing what I know about surviving death, I don't know if I would be able to swim on, or sink.

It's Not the Number of Moments That Make Up Life ...?

Butterflies are Free ... and So are We?

Seeing the guy who died in the Cairns swimming race wearing a Dr. Who t-shirt in the news article about his death also makes me think of an old Dr. Who meme I made up a few years ago about time healing all wounds ... because it doesn't heal anything when it comes to heartfelt wounds like the loss of a daughter or son.

A meme I made up a while ago ...
says Doctor who? Get it?-)

You expect to lose older relatives, brothers and sisters as you go through life, and as hard as that can be I imagine that losing a son or daughter is something you are never mentally prepared for and would find very hard "to heal" from.

Death is but a dream as Karen says in the 'New Thinking Allowed' You Tube Zoom interview, but life can be a nightmare, I reckon.
