I too have been questioning my faith of late
I too have been questioning my faith of late. I lost my son and best friend on July 31st of this year. Prior to James’ passing, we had discussions of Life After Death. Having been raised a Catholic early in my life, I turned to spiritualism in my mid – late 20s. I have carried some of the beliefs of the Catholic church along with those of spiritualism.
I told my son, that I did believe in something, but was not sure what it might be. I do not know if the spirit lives on after death and transitions to another plane from which the spirits occasionally “visit” us. Or, being that the human body is composed of water, elements and electricity, does the human form cease to exist yet the electricity or energy, continues. Energy never dies, so it must go somewhere. Does it become a storm? Does it enter another wordly form? Does it just shoot off into space and travel the universe?
I decided to start researching in order to help redefine my faith and my beliefts. A “reinvention” of myself I suppose.
There is just so very much information out there, I know it will take quite some time before I come to a conclusion, IF I come to a conclusion.
I remember a movie from several years ago, titled “Powder”. It is about a young boy who has extra sensory powers derived from electricity. It is an extremely interesting and moving film, I would recommend viewing if you have not had the opportunity. Another that might help, is “The Secret”, which discusses spirituality and the power of attraction. An extremely interesting DVD I highly recommend.
In the mean time, might I recommend that you do your own research and see what you might find? Maybe you will find nothing that will help you, but then again, you might discover a new belief that will help to ease your pain.
I think one of the first step in finding the comfort, is reaching out to explore and try to discover what might reinstate your previous belief system or find something new.
We all need to believe in something my dear friend. I believe in you and I believe you have the choice to take those actions that can change your life.
Wishing you love, peace, comfort and all of the very best as you continue your journey.

i suddenly lost my husband on sept.16 09 from a heart attack,perhaps you have seen my story on this blog. it is important to take the time you need and then take some more and we do have to redefine our selfs and our lives when we lose someone because our roles have changed and so has our lives.
i have been a spiritual,metaphysical doctor and teacher for many years and have done alot of transition work ,my husbands being the hardest but also gave me some peace. if i can help you in anyway please let me know. i have seen spirit many times in my life especially after someone is passed and that has kept me going this time in my life. my heart goes out to you and the most important thing to believe in is yourself and the sacredness of all life
