After Death (The Movie) 2023

This documentary drama shares stories of a number of individuals who have had near-death experiences (NDEs). This occurrence is more prevalent than one might think. Thousands of people, while in a state of clinical death, have had out of body experiences (spirit and body separation) where they look down upon themselves as they are dead. Present day medical interventions result in these people surviving, who later recall specific details of what happened when they were scientifically dead.

One objective of this film is based on developing a method of quantifying these experiences and efforts are made to scrutinize these events in a rational and credible manner. Some hypotheses are unable to be validated while others are.

These out-of-body experiences include a number of common occurrences: looking down on oneself while in a state of death, an awareness of enhanced or vivid sensory ability, a life review and for some a journey into the light.

Many individuals report a euphoric state and having an epiphany during their out-of-body experience, while others report a negative occurrence. Peace and love are common emotions that surface during these events and a message about ‘ripple effects’ is shared.

Death is sometimes alluded to as the ‘final frontier’ and this movie attempts to shed light on what is an elusive topic. Are we all just spirits occupying the bodies we live in? This movie is unique in its depiction and concludes that further exploration and documentation is required so that we may learn and know even more. “After Death” is available on streaming platforms.

A Definition of Good Grieving

Grief is a normal and natural response to having loved and having lost that love. Grief is not only felt by humankind. The animal kingdom also shows signs of grief.

Good grieving insists that there is a process that must be experienced as opposed to being ignored, hidden or denied. It is a unique passage to a changed life that has no rules on how to proceed. Good grieving happens when there is an acceptance of the changes in the mind, body and spirit which are recognized as being part of this process.

Grieving causes many changes, including interrupted sleep, mood swings, and the loss of security, peace and joy. It is not a permanent state even though for some grievers, it feels like the pain and suffering will never leave. Some of the emotions that are experienced may feel uncomfortable but they all serve a natural purpose: for example, crying is helpful as it releases toxic hormonal chemicals from the body.

Understanding that the symptoms of grief will eventually pass is important. Good grief acknowledges the journey. It does not dismiss the journey by comparing personal experience to someone else’s pain or loss. Good grief allows for the change to bring blessings in the midst of pain. As one griever put it, losing a loved one made them more compassionate towards others who had also lost their loved one.

The Taj Mahal Memorial: A Heart-Felt Symbol of Remembrance

India’s most famous building is more than a stunning architectural work of art. It is also a loving memorial to a cherished wife.

An immense white marble mausoleum on the banks of the Yamuna River in Agra, India, the Taj Mahal was commissioned in 1631 by Emperor Shah Jahan to serve as a lavish tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died birthing their 14th child. The tomb forms the centrepiece of the stunning 42-acre complex, which also encompasses a mosque, beautiful gardens and an elaborate network of fountains.

Incorporating design traditions of Mughal architecture (an eclectic mix of Indian, Persian and Islamic styles), construction of the mausoleum and its outer buildings continued for over 20 years. Using white marble inlaid with precious stones, the structure’s rhythmic combination of shapes, domes, arches and symbols further increases its esthetic appeal – all encased by lush greenery, red pathways and a brilliant blue-sky backdrop.

Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, the Taj Mahal is one of the world’s most recognized monuments and a major tourist attraction. Attracting over five million visitors each year, this modern-day wonder of the world was built from a story of love and the immense grief that follows loss. It remains, almost 400 years later, one of the world’s most iconic symbols of remembrance.
