As a physician, I've had quite a few experiences with death and dying... patients who were dying as well as patients who had near death experiences and later told me about them.  I love watching the spiritual world become a vibrant part of a transitioning person's experience... I blog more about that for you here.

I love it so much that I became a Death Doula, which has deepened my appreciation for the process, and all of my experiences and training have added up to one takeaway: there are always others present, supporting you, and love surrounding you.

No one dies alone.  

Think of all of the billions of souls that have lived and gone before you, that not only make you who you are biologically but who have crossed over, and wait for you still, on the other side of that veil.

People you know and loved, people you never met, all knowing exactly who you are and welcoming you home.  Row after row after row of beautiful soul energies, lighting up as they come to greet you.  

In this painting, A Soul's Welcome, you can see that as the earthly world around you dims, the golden path lights the way, drawing you towards all of the love, connection, and unity that awaits you as you transition onwards.  

I find it so comforting to remember that as the earthly world dims, the spiritual world emerges.  Loved ones waiting.  All that's left is to surrender as we journey to the other side.  I hope you love it and find it comforting, like I do.

If you love this image, if you find comfort in this image, if you know a loved one who would be uplifted by this image, I would love you to have it.  It is a one-of-a-kind original, as I will not be making prints of this artwork.  Painting is acrylic and is painted onto a 24" x 24" birch wood panel that is 1 5/8 inches deep.  Sides are painted, so no need for a frame -- painting comes ready to hang.  

The watermark on images does not appear on the painting.

Enjoy the journey...  xoxox, Laura
