<p class="ql-block"><br></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 好友Sonia在脸书上分享了一篇题为《The Soul Journey with Sarah Moussa》的文章并表达了她的一些感悟。引起不少朋友的关注和讨论。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 因自己曾历经失去挚爱的悲恸并最终挺过；也尝试过以极相似的观点去安慰并开解他人；但限于认知水平，所想所说都远远不及此文导释的那样通达透彻。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 如果十年前我能见到这样的好文，相信我的疗愈过程会缩短很多。所以读完文章的第一反应就是：把它译出来，给更多人看！</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 希望曾经历至今还没释怀、以及正在经历失去亲人（至爱）之痛的人们的身心创伤能够愈合的更快！希望她（他）们不再把持哀念，能真正地放下遗憾、歉疚甚至是自责。更用力用心去爱去生活。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 让一个活的更豁达更快乐更精彩的你，去荣耀爱你和你爱的人，这才是他（她）们想要看到的！</span></p><p class="ql-block"><i style="font-size:20px;"> 而且我相信上帝对每个人的安排都是最好的。无论我们是否理解，能看到还是看不到。</i></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 要说明的是，翻译时力图忠实原文。但为了让大家可以比较轻松地“阅过”这样的“灵魂之旅”，擅自改了下文体，押了些韵。“死亡”在很多人眼里可能是“失意”的，但在我看来，生死是完全平等的。谈论死亡也可以带着“诗意”。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 同时非常赞赏Sonia说的希望她死后，她的儿孙及家人朋友们可以常开心地提到她、回忆和她在一起的美好时光，或有趣的或犯傻的或是疯狂的事儿！我也期望以后被这样对待。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 英语原文附在后面了，可直接查看。插图也是原文里带的，就一起贴上。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:20px;"> 因自己英语水平差，想把文章分享出来的心情又十分迫切。译文中难免有错误或不当。真诚欢迎大家纠错指正，帮我改进。在此先表衷心谢意🙏🙏🙏</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="color:rgb(25, 25, 25);

You think it all </p><p class="ql-block">ends in death. And you think they are NOT there any more.</p><p class="ql-block">So if you’re dead no more, where are they?</p><p class="ql-block">Yes they have left, or they are now somewhere else, is that place better than this?</p><p class="ql-block">Yes, definitely that place is better than this; so Why do you suffer for their departure?</p><p class="ql-block">When you have finished accepting that they are no longer "NOT here", but they are still in another place even better than this, for they’re where they are no longer sick, or suffering.</p><p class="ql-block">Then you'll stop mourning them and you'll get them back in memory so they keep accompanying you </p><p class="ql-block">with the joy of all that you've lived.</p><p class="ql-block">If you truly loved them LOVE them AGAIN and this time with greater strength, with greater purity, with greater delivery.</p><p class="ql-block">Today, there will be no more reproach of any kind.</p><p class="ql-block">Only LOVE, will be the essence between you, between us, between them.</p><p class="ql-block">I respect your pain, and the way you express it.</p><p class="ql-block"> I know you cry and you will cry without comfort.</p><p class="ql-block">But ..
