While fear depletes power, Faith gives wings for the Soul’s elevation.

She's always been a good friend to talk to concerning things spiritual in nature. She comforted me of my dogs passing and helped me understand Faith helps alleviate fear of death.
Death can be a scary thing. She asked how many times I've been to a viewing, a funeral or even touched a dead person. My aunt was a medic in the army and worked full time in the emergency room. Getting familiar with Death certainly helps one understand what it means when it's happening. And having Faith helps with the aftermath of death.
She spoke to me of nannys passing(my grandma). Nanny said, "<Insert Aunts Name Here> I'm more ready for this then you are." That was 2 days before she passed. Even after being more familiar with death than I- she explained how difficult it was for her to experience what she did. But then she mentioned all the good things that happened. She helped me understand where Guilt comes from when loved ones pass. She helped me udnerstand Why... Just a little.
Where am I getting at ? It was in our discussion that faith was brought up. I never made the connection but I think this is helping me form my understanding of Faith... I see how Beautiful it is to have and practice this... I wonder if Faith can break the notion that we are products of our immediate environment. What I mean is... Faith not only helps ease the fear in Death... It helps Build Strength in Character... So we can perhaps Handle Ourselves... Remain somewhat Sane in a Chaotic and Poor Environment.
