My first major loss was the death of my dad when I was 18. The gift of Swedenborg's descriptions of the afterlife were a warm comfort as we grieved and adjusted, and I don't know how I would have gotten through that and other losses without this information. I could see how God prepared Dad for the transition during his final days. I knew it was not a "waste" that he had gone earlier than expected, because he would be living a full and useful life in the spiritual world. And I knew the separation would only be temporary. That's why I feel driven to share this information with others through the Swedenborg Foundation and Off The Left Eye.
Like Karin, we invite you to share your story and send support to others by either making a one time gift, or by "becoming a fundraiser". Becoming a fundraiser means you can start your own fundraising page in honor of your loved one. You can share that page with your friends and family and invite them to participate in passing on hope to others beginning their journey through Swedenborg's works.
