Interesting! Purgatory to me sounds a bit like an extension of life where a soul is trapped and unable to move on. The timing of this is very important to me as I would like to follow some of the steps for non-Catholics (I was raised Catholic but have been out of the Church and Buddhist for two decades). My second husband and I had our third anniversary on November 1 (All Saint's Day) and a very big Buddhist Spiritual Holiday is tomorrow on the 12th full moon (Loy Krathong--the festival of Light). I have been having many thoughts and a few dreams related to my first husband, who died in a motorbike accident. I feel that he would like to move on. I understand that he was suffering and could not stay and spiritually things were off. I think I shall say some prayers at his grave...
Happy Anniversary. What a nice day to be married on.
That's such a tragic death! Maybe he had some unresolved issues or relationships that he wasn't given a chance to clear up. Prayers for the dead are always a good thing....
