Whatever your level of religious observance, when you experience a loss, you might have many questions: Where is the neshamah now? How do I know that he or she is really happy? This can bring up other questions, questions about your own mortality: when I die, where will I go? Will I have regrets about the life I lived?

Mrs. Lori Palatnik, author of the book Remember My Soul, explores this topic with us. She describes how the neshamah doesn’t want to be born and then doesn’t want to die. This is the story of every soul’s journey; gaining a greater understanding of this journey can help you find deeper meaning and focus in your life.
