Real Life: Compassion On The Journey

Tending to someone in their last hours opens the mind to greater awareness of our vulnerability and our mortality. If we could become more conscious of these limitations from which all of us suffer it would encourage us to take better care of one another including the difficult people we meet.

Sending your lady friend light and love...

Thank you Tony for this timely reflection for me as my dear husband died 9 years ago almost to this day… Thank you for the pauses for silent reflection in your contributions to Insight Timer. Beautiful, thank you 🙂

A timely meditation for me. Thank you for your voice. Namaste 🙏🏻

Always enjoy your meditations and this one especially hit home. My father in-law recently passed and we were with him for his final hours to the last breath. He too was seemingly asleep...breathing peacefully on his own. Not responding tho. I felt he knew we were there so talked with him. Told him how I loved him etc. also played him beautiful Mozart he had always enjoyed. We occasionally held his hand and stroked his forehead. We just sat and bantered as I crocheted and my husband read. We noticed a change in rhythm of his breath and got the nurse. By the time she came he had passed. Peacefully. I felt we had been with him to the edge of the realm. Thanks so much for expressing this call for compassion. 🙏💗

Excellent compassionate meditation practice, Thank you 🙏

What a beautiful lesson thank you Tony for sharing your experience and wisdom bless you 😇

Tony may your dear friend resr in peace, blessings to her family and friends. Namaste 🙏

A few months ago, I had the honor of being with my final living grandparent in her final hours and as she passed on. It was an interesting juxtaposition of an intense intimacy, sharing that time, while simultaneously recognizing she was making this journey solo, despite the presence of family. She was peaceful as she left us, with just a single simple tear as she closed her eyes. It was profoundly moving, and I am grateful to have been there with her. I am also grateful to you, Tony, for sharing your experience and for verbally painting such a touching tribute to your friend. Life is shorter than we think. Compassion is so very important. Again, thank you for this. I see the light in you. 🤲🏻❤️🤲🏻

In honor of "Mary" ..namaste 🙏

I was honored to take a minute with you to remember the life of your friend Mary. The image of her grasping your thumb in her last hours is a beautiful one. Thank you for this meditation. 🌸🌺

Beautiful. Thank you, Tony. Your words are a great comfort to me and, I’m sure, many others on this journey. ❤️

Thank you ever so much for this meditation. It confirmed to me many things that happened during my late mother transitioning. Blessings,Tony !

Thank you so much, Tony. We needed to hear this. We did not know about the sense of hearing being the last sense to leave.

Thought provoking...
Thank you Tony
(and thank you Mary)
Namaste
🙏🏼✨🕊

God rest Mary's soul. A beautiful compassionate friend you are Tony. I am so sorry for your loss. Namaste.

Beautifully compassionate teaching Tony. Blessings and Peace to you in your loss. You help us to notice the power of touch and music as we seek to be present with our loved ones as they transition. Thank you. 🌻🐢🦋

Very appropriate at this time, as I had intended to contact my 94 year old uncle today, who I have not been in touch with for a long time. Sending love and compassion to you and all the beings in the world in need of some.🙏💖
