Charlotte thank you for sharing your experience with us. I cried in empathy and compassion for you and me.
My mother passed suddenly just six months after yours. When I was in the depths of my despair my six year old daughter she said this to me… Mommy are you crying because Oma died? Yes I said. She replied Well you know how you have always been sad about Oma living so far away? (6 hr drive), yes, I replied and my beautiful little daughter said, Now she’s with us always.
How beautiful @Monique Winter . Kids have that preternatural experience which I believe allows them as intimate view into other realms. I babysit a little girl who at 4 years old has endured a few loved ones passings. She is so confident those people are here and you can’t see them. She’s been an inspiration for me. And she is is the granddaughter of the doctor I wrote about. Full circle. Life through the eyes of child is so profound. My heart melted when I read her encouragement. So happy you found comfort and assurance from her warm truthful words, only she could express. Bless you and your daughter. ✨💜🙏
I always thought that Prospero was the weakest person despite having the most power. He had to stage manage everything (maybe Shakespeare revealing a little of himself) in order to create opportunities for himself to show mercy and show what a great guy he was. But it reminded me of something I liked to say: “Holding someone over a cliff and not letting go does not make you a hero for saving their life!” In other words, orchestrated mercy is not mercy. I thought about this because at the end, when your Mom knew the final curtain was falling, she showed so much more grace and strength and beauty than Prospero could have ever understood. And when she died, she did so having the answer to life’s final riddle. So all those amazing things you guys experienced out on the water? That was for her children. That was her gift to you. That was a Mother’s Magic - the expression of her love: telling you that she was there for you and everything was going to be okay. Thank You for writing this. I’m gonna carry this one in my heart. 💖
@The Dredd Rooster wow what an amazing experience added to the story. It’s very profound. I noticed this characteristic among several magicians who feel power through magic tricks, when in fact their only strength is waving a fake wand around.
The Tempest was Shakespeare’s last play. Some opinions are he is told his own tale in this story.
Years ago I had a little bit of fluffy Norwegian forest cat who I found and named him Caliban.
On a lighter note, I like this pic of The Tempest. Granted it looks nothing like how I pictured Caliban, but Trinculo looks like Ralphie in his pink bunny pajamas from A Christmas Story. 🤣🎅🏻🐇
Beautifully composed and expressive proof that your mother continues to live through you and others whose lives she influenced Charlotte. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to also be influenced positively by your mom.
This is such a well-written, touching story. Thank you for sharing it. My own mother is 83 years old and I realize that my time with her is now limited. The idea that “death is not an ending but a transformation” is one that I’ve had for some time, but framing it with those words really helps. When she is gone, she isn’t really gone, just in another realm where I’ll meet her again someday.
Oh I’m blessed to hear that my story might be a guiding light for your own journey with your mother. Thank you so much for stopping to read and comment. I greatly appreciate your support. Sending you much love Korie 🤗💖✨
I smiled and teared up when I read through this then read it again. Thanks for sharing this incredibly beautiful tale. I love it for all its raw truth, the pain, magic and ultimate peace.
Your mother is my hero for dying peacefully on her terms, a fitting death for a nurse in my book. Thank you for sharing this with us Charlotte 💗
I definitely thought of you when I wrote it. And was wondering how does the nurse Kristen deliver this message to a patient? I’m sure with loving care. In the evening I babysit and tutor the doctors little girl. His daughter is also a doctor and she is just as compassionate. And she is our doctor, I am through her clear she saved my husband’s eye from a single attack.
Sending much love to you, your soul is beautiful and that beauty will live on into the next realm. ✨💖🤗
Thank you so much @Megan Youngmee for reading my article and commenting. I am so glad you like it sending you much love and gratitude! Have a beautiful day.✨🤗💖
This was so lovely to read, Charlotte. How your parents’ final resting places reflect their nature is perfect. So much magic at the point you let your mum go 🌟❤️
Thank you @Trudi Nicola, I always wanted to write that story, but I didn’t have a good start or ending, and I wanted to articulate the magical experience so Demi’s meme inspired me and gave me that spark. ✨💫✨
Yes, that's the magic that happens. You allow stories like that to percolate in my heart and soul and mind and then one day at all times together. You allow stories like that to percolate in my heart and soul and mind and then one day at all times together.🥰
Thank you @Cynthia Boatright Raleigh I wanted to write about it a while, but I didn’t have a start. When I read the knees mean it all came together.✨💜🤗
Very beautiful, Charlotte. Taking us through the entire journey. And the minister, his wisdom, in speaking as he did, regarding the last chapter and the last few sentences. Wow. I'm so happy that you were able to do the the boat ride and experience all that with your mom's ashes. Very touching. It's wonderful that your parents were such wonderful people.
Thank you Jeanine, I have always wanted to write a story but it didn’t come to me last week until I was scrolling through demons name pose and came across that meme I posted. I was sad and my entire story came together. Today I have been reflecting on what an amazing experience that one was.
Truly, Charlotte. And it is amazing how the mind works, quietly putting things together until the time is right. It turned out beautifully. You told it well.
The ocean is a sacred vessel, as is Nature herself. Your mother picked the spot of her final resting place knowing that this is where she would be accepted as she returns to her origins. Death is not the end, but a doorway into another realm.
Thank you Charlotte for sharing about your Mom. Knowing how difficult it is to lose a loved family member, sometimes simply sharing about them & good time create good healing.

Oh thank you so much Trudi, this week I will write about my father as a sequel. That’s a bit of a hard one. 😔
You’ll find the words you need when the time is right ❤️
