Comments on: “No, you can’t dig up your brother”: Tough things I’ve had to think about and discuss with my children (and myself) about religion and death.` http://loraleeslooneytunes.com/2010/03/11/what-i-tell-my-children-about-what-happens-when-you-die/ A little crazy. A lot of fun.

It seems we share a name and also the loss of a son. I have four children and my last two were identical twin boys. On Oct 22, 2004 Peter died a sudden death. Police at door - visit to morgue - saw him lying peacefully on a slab through a glass window for a few minutes. Shock, disbelief, knowing I would never hear his voice again or his particular laugh. Huge funeral, my eulogy, all a blur now. His twin Tim suffers a loss greater than mine, losing his other self, the unique relationship of identicals. I have stuggled with where I stand and what I truly believe regarding God and the Hereafter. As comforting as it would be... and as much as I envy those who are believers, whatever their faith might be, it simply doesn't work for me. My scientific mind and my inability to blindly believe in man made religions set me apart. Of course I hope that whatever is there after death includes my spirit connecting with my son and others that have meant so much to me in my life. The truth is no one knows. My very best to you Loralee. From Lora Lee Loralee,
