Mary Jo Heyen - What Happens When We Dream Into the Mystery

This topic may be uncomfortable for some but it’s one we all will experience on day. Death. How do we approach the end of our lives? How do we deal with the fears, the pain, the anger, the regrets? Is there something than can help prepare us and ease the transition?The answer may be in our dreams. I saw this firsthand with my mother, whose dreams about her beloved father as she lay dying helped give her peace in her final days.
