Love is stronger than death

Where does a loved one ‘go’ when they die?
Where does a wave ‘go’ when it crashes onto the shore?
Nowhere. No place.
The wave was never separate from the vastness of the ocean in the first place, so it cannot ‘return’ there. Water cannot leave water, nor return.
Nothing happens at all, from the perspective of our true nature.
Death is simply the deepest relaxation into unborn, undying presence.
Your loved one did not ‘go’ anywhere, friend. They simply rested even more deeply in their own nature, which is your nature, which is presence. Not two. Never two.
They are now where they always were – in your heart of hearts. And they can never leave.
You will carry them.
Love is stronger than death.
