Neveah endured life with a smile and lots of hugs and kisses, she never complained or grumbled about the test, or continual treatments she endured as a testing agent for this rare disease. She was adorable in her beautiful hats she wore with feathers and colorful flowers.
She touched the lives of many people and the media centered on her disease when she passed away. She needed an successful bone marrow transplant to survive that her blood type would accept, but it failed. This little girl eventually lost all of her hair, carried water and ballooned up prior to her death, and was unable to eat any food with salt because of the water gain. Her mother eventually agreed to a coma induced treatment that ended with her mother signing the paper to pull the plugs.
It just makes me smile when I think of Neveah.
I attended her funeral and was able to speak with Neveah. The angels were their to take her up but they were waiting for her to be ready to leave. She told me, 'I can't leave my mom until I know she is ok.' Her mother was accepting of Neveah's death but she wasn't ready to let Neveah go. The angels said, "We will patiently wait for her to be ready before we leave." I told Neveah, "Don't be afraid the angels are patiently waiting for you, just don't get lost, they are here when you are ready."
I waited to speak to Angie her mother before I left the funeral home. I told Angie while giving her a big hug, that 'She is waiting for you to let her go." I don't know whether Angie understood that or not, but I felt compelled to tell Angie, that Neveah will always be around her. Angie seemed reassured and related a few instances since her death that she felt Neveah's presence. See I see a smile come to my face when I relate this.
We are created with a body, spirit and soul. Our spirit and soul live on once this human vessel is no longer needed.
I believe Neveah is still in spirit with her Mother, protecting her and she being present until mom is willing to release her to return to heaven.
It is an old Jewish belief that the spirit of the dead lingers for three days before it is taken. That is why Jesus resurrection was so important and significant of the three days later when he rose.
It was proof that he had risen from the dead.
What happens when we die, do we immediately go to heaven or to hell, or is their a waiting room. Many religions differ on this belief. I have been trying to seek answers to these questions but the Christian community has stifled the human mind from seeking these questions because of the narrow mindedness of believing what you are taught and told, without question. I am too determined to question these ideologies... If you have an answer please let me know, with documentation it would be nice..
