Words of Remembrance I spoke at my mother's funeral.
"Thank you everyone for coming.
Why do we have to die?
Most of you are here because you either knew my mother personally, or you were close to a friend or relative of hers.
My mother touched a lot of lives in a lot of different ways. Some of you had only known her for a relatively short time, while others had known her a lot longer. I was fortunate enough to be blessed with having her as my mother. One of my mother's traits, which she embodied almost to a fault, was she always put the needs of others above herself. She always thought of others first.
Many of you here know my mother through many different ways. Some of you are family. Some of you knew her through association of somebody else. Some of you knew her through some activity, or through an organization or a club. ...and some of you met her through her commitment to battle cancer.
With stagnation and complacency there is no growth, no reason to change. Growth, more often than not, requires a catalyst. Whatever that catalyst happens to be, when one has a catalyst, one has both the motivation and the urgency to seek growth. To finally be unafraid of change.
Why do we have to die?
In life, we are guided to do certain things and to meet certain people on our journey. A catalyst is a very powerful motivator for change. A lot of people say "if god is real, why do people suffer? Why do people, like my mother, get cancer? Cancer was a very powerful catalyst for my mother in many ways. Through facing her cancer, my mother had the motivation and the COURAGE to look inward and face herself. Cancer caused my mother to really scrutinize herself and her life. It caused her to change her whole perspective. It caused not only physical change, with diet and lifestyle, etc. But more importantly spiritual change. Through cancer, my mother was able to truly discover god, and muster up the courage to change her stagnantion.
And perhaps most importantly, it caused her to meet many new people along the way. People who became very dear friends, close soul connections she made that would impact both her, and their, lives. Lessons that were taught and received on both ends.
So why do we have to die? The better question is, why do we have to live? Life is not a problem to be solved. It is a reality to be experienced. My mother lived a human experience. She lived as a daughter, as a wife, as a mother. She lived as a child of god. She lived to be loved and to love. She lived to discover who she truly was as a person here on this earth. When one's journey on this earthly plane is complete, when one has learned and experienced what they came here to. What's the next step? Is it simply to just continue on in this same existence forever? To drift back into stagnation? Or is it time to move on to the next step in one's soul journey, to move on to new experiences? Move on to learn new lessons?
Why do we have to die?
Why do we have to be born?
You know there is a baptism of a baby, a celebration of a new life....right after this. Right after this funeral. You enter into this world, this reality, when you're born. You don't ask to be born, just as you don't ask to die. Some people have very hard and sad lives. They did not ask to be born. However, to come into this world, you have to be born. That's how you enter the club, that's your door in! That's how you manifest here to live a human experience. So, you get here when you're born, how do you leave when you're ready to go?
You can't stay in the club forever, your soul, and god, want you to eventually go home. So how do you leave this human experience and move on in your soul journey?
You die.
My mother died, she is gone from this earth. But she is not gone. Her soul is immortal. She is simply on the next step of her journey.
We are here, not because my mother died.
But because she lived.
Thank you."

A little over two and a half years ago, my mother went to the ER and discovered she had stage four terminal cancer with a tumor 2/3rds the size of her liver, in her liver. She was given a prognosis of maximum 6 months to live. She refused to believe what the doctors told her to be fact, and with great courage and conviction, stepped outside her comfort zone both mentally and physically to embrace treatments for her body and mind considered unconventional and alternative to the modern medical establishment.
She fought hard and astounded the doctors with her ability to defy what they understood to be an imminent death sentance. However, after 2 and a half years of expanded awareness, self discovery and personal soul growth she decided that her soul journey here was complete and departed her human experience at 1:25pm today. I was sitting right by her bed, speaking words of encouragement to help guide her with her hand in mine, when she departed.
She was an incredibly kind, gentle, and beautiful soul and I feel very fortunate and blessed that I got to experience this life with her as my mother. I wish her love, light, and all the best as she transends this existance and embarks on her journey to experience her next one.
