alternative of dying. This decision can only be made on a spiritual
level of consciousness. Whatever the choice, it is generally found that
the pain diminishes with the understanding. Should the decision be to
die then the observer will see peace come over the dying person as
their consciousness alters into it's spiritual state and often the dying
person will see some of their friends who are already in the Spirit
world calling to them in reassurance. All this can be disconcerting to
the observer should they not have the experience of knowing about
death. Where there is knowledge about death Spirit can more easily
leave the body and also Spirit can help more in the after death process.

There is relief from pain in death. The pain remains in the
physical world and particularly with those who have to continue
in life without their loved one. If they were to know the peace and
happiness that their dearly departed is experiencing they would
get such comfort. The observer remembers the body's reaction to
the feeling of pain and sometime if the body struggles to resist the
Spirit leaving it, they can often suffer great anguish at the
apparent distress that their loved one suffered. Their loved one
did not suffer. The body is similar to a mechanical device that is
programmed to react in certain ways to certain stimulation. Even
in death it will react. It takes some time before the physical energy
totally discharges and the physical body goes into total repose.
Know that death is only a transformation from one temporary
state of consciousness to the real consciousness of Spirit. Would
that you would come to us more often and experience our world,
your 'to be' world, you would better understand. We cannot use
your words to describe our world or indeed to do justice to the
invaluable process that creation has designed called the dying
process.
