“Is Dying Alone Intentional?” Does everyone die the way that they intended to?  This week’s Just Ask Jay, I’m taking about the touchy subject of dying alone!  A big shout out to Brenda Sirard & Fishergirl for AMAZING questions!

Brenda Sirard

You mentioned about people not being able to attend funerals and the loved one is okay with it but What about if we’re not there at the time of passing? My mom and sister were with my Dad when he passed but I wasn’t since I live out of town…I’ve been feeling guilty for over 2 years because I wasn’t there…Help please…

Fishergirl

Hi Jay, I have a question about when our loved ones die, when there is no one else around. I feel so bad about not being there at that time. Do spirits remember this or harbour ill feelings? I just feel like someone should have been there and they shouldn’t have died alone.
