The lovely bones

watched the movie “The lovely bones.” I read the book a long time ago. Itcaptured my heart then and it captured my heart watching the movie. AliceSebold is a great author who takes her experiences and uses them in her novels.The lovely bones reminded me of death. That death doesn’t necessarily have tobe a tragedy. In the material world people look at death as being the finale.You leave your loved ones behind and everyone grieves. I thought this way for along time as well. I lost my godfather and it was heart wrenching for me. Inever went to the funeral I felt like he said goodbye to me in his own way. Iam not sure I really did say goodbye. For a long time and even at this momentit is so hard for me to let it go. I don’t want to say goodbye. Now I’verealized death is not goodbye it is really just a new beginning for the person.They are no longer in a body so they can do anything they want to do. They canlive out there own heaven they are in a better place and still living it’s justa different kind of life. This gives me comfort.
