A question for you: How do you prepare your family members for the idea of death so they aren’t afraid of it, and aren’t devastated and lost when it happens? Growing up as a child, I was always comforted when my mom would say we would see our loved ones again, they were just on the other side of a wall, kind of like when Abraham 
says it’s as though they are in another room and soon we will be in that room as well. That made it not such a scary thing for me, knowing the separation is only temporary. Later in life, Mom likened it to the tadpole becoming the frog; to the caterpillar not dying, simply becoming a butterfly. We both agreed we believed we survive in consciousness after the change called death.
