The soothing light of White
They had sobbed together all day on the news of the passing of James’s mother.
“I feel like Louis’s words that; ‘It was not the end or even the beginning; it was a continuum;’ are how we are meant to deal with this Mel, but my heart is still breaking knowing we’ll never see her again.” James sighed
He held her close as they slipped into sleep.
Feeling Melanie’s pain, her sister visited her.
“Mélanie” Marie whispered
{“Melanie” Marie whispered}
Vous n'avez pas vécu la mort ou rencontré quelqu'un qui en a eu; sauf pour moi. Laissez-moi vous dire ce que je sais.
Lorsque Louis m'a été enlevé après notre emprisonnement à la Tour du Temple en août 1792, je ne connaissais pas son sort. Nos geôliers ne nous ont pas donné de nouvelles pour nous réconforter. Je me souviens de me réveiller avec soulagement après son décès en janvier.
Quand Louis est venu me voir après son décès, il m'a dit de ne pas m'inquiéter de la mort. Il y a du blanc dans la lumière, a-t-il dit, où il n'y a pas de temps et où aucune préoccupation ne se fait sentir.
Jusqu'à ce que mon temps vienne, ses paroles me réconfortèrent et je fus sur place, sachant qu'il me l'avait dit: «Ce n'était pas la fin, ni même un début, c'était un continuum»
Ne crains pas ma sœur, un jour tu comprendras le continuum de la vie.
{“You have not experienced death, or met someone who has; except for me. Let me tell you what I know.
When Louis was taken from me after we were imprisoned in the Temple Tower in August of 1792, I did not know of his fate. Our jailors gave us no news to comfort us. I remember waking with relief after he passed in January.
When Louis came to me after he passed, he told me not to be concerned with death. There is white in the light, he said, where no time exists and no concerns are felt.
Until my time came his words comforted me and I was at piece knowing as he had told me ‘It was not the end or even a beginning, it was a continuum’
Fear not my sister, one day you will understand the continuum of life.”}
