How is the soul’s departure described according to spiritual beliefs?
The departure of a loved one leaves a void that is difficult to explain. It is not only the physical absence, but the feeling that something essential has left. Even so, many spiritual beliefs agree on a comforting idea: the soul does not leave immediately. Before departing for good, it seeks to say goodbye to those it loved.
The moment the soul leaves the body
When the soul separates from the body, it usually experiences a profound realization. Earthly life has come to an end.
Some people describe this moment as a feeling of lightness and peace; others, as an intense mix of emotions: surprise, sadness, and relief.
In natural deaths, the process can be slower and more emotional. The soul journeys through memories, affections, and bonds, while beginning to perceive a different reality, as if a door were opening to another plane of existence.
Why the soul doesn’t leave immediately
The connection with the physical world is not broken instantaneously. During the first few days, the soul often remains close to its loved ones, observing their grief and trying to comfort them.
This invisible bond is made of love, memories, and unfinished business. Many people sense a subtle presence:
a sudden calm, a persistent thought, or the feeling of not being alone.
