I agree
A beauiful post.  I loved the die well and it wonderful that she knows how to do just that.  You are right that God dwells as love within us and we return to love.  It is so ironic that here is a lady that is not religious but is closer to God in spirit and the true meaning of his love.  Richard is very religious and is so afraid of dying and going to Hell that he has to completely lose all memory so he won't be afraid to die. Religion can keep one in a very sad state.

I don't think the Church failed her.

It sounds like she found a different path, as she uses different words, to get to the same place you have described: Love informs her life just as it does yours. 

I'm very interested to hear so much more of what your beliefs are.  I think you and I could get along, too--though, again, we are taking different paths through the same wonderful wood.
