My hisband passed away after suffering a whole barrage of complications after an operation which was supposed to give him a new lease on life. He fought so hard because we had so much we still wanted to do together. I have seen him during meditation in amidst an aura of sky blue etched with a derp pink. He died two months ago. How do i know he is at peace.

Dear Donna,
I am very sorry to hear of your loss. He who “fought the good fight” surely rests in peace now. What you have seen in meditation is a sign of that peace. Though you didn’t comment upon it, I sense that what you felt in meditation was that peace.
Worry not: for the very effort he (and you) made to deal with his health challenges suggests a sense of accomplishment and victory for the trying even though he did not survive in the body. But he survives now in the astral body of energy and joy. He is still very much alive.
May I suggest that you continue to offer prayers and comfort to him as part of your meditations and your thoughts. It is generally recommended that such prayers take place at the end of meditation for the simple fact that after meditating it is generally easier to be calm and clear minded. Prayers for a departed loved one are very helpful to the soul provided your prayers and thoughts are offered calmly and with the best interests of the departed in mind. Grief cannot be helped nor should it be suppressed. That too is a reality but it is yours and not necessarily his and, in his case, certainly not useful to the continuation of his soul’s journey. Yet, the love between you can survive the life of the body if offered on the higher plane of the soul rather than only the personality with its myriad attachments and memories. He lives on: both in his own astral and causal bodies but also in your heart. The threads of pure love will continue to weave into the carpet of your souls’ journeys to come.
Be not grieved for his state of peace. And if ever he would even be slightly disturbed, you can offer comfort even now (perhaps especially now). It is important to remain connected on the higher octave of calm, unconditional love: the love of God. Let then your relationship survive in the pure love of your souls.
May the Light of Divine Love ever shine upon you both,
Nayaswami Hriman
