Survey for Brothers & Sisters Whose Spouse Ascended — De Geode

The National Blessing and Family Ministry is seeking information from all brothers and sisters whose spouse has ascended to the Spirit World. If you know of any brothers or sisters whose spouse has ascended, please send them the survey link below, which asks: (1) basic information about them, (2) what kind of support that they need, and (3) whether or not they are considering the Comfort Blessing.

The survey is for anyone who has an ascended spouse, not just for those interested in the Comfort Blessing. The information provided in this survey is to help the BFM understand the scope and needs of brothers and sisters whose spouse has ascended. The survey also asks for their interest in the Comfort Blessing. We want to be prepared to report to True Mother if asked about the interest in the U.S. for the Comfort Blessing. Annie Gagne is working with the Blessing & Family Ministry to support brothers and sisters whose spouse has ascended.

What is the Comfort Blessing?

The Comfort Blessing was reinstated by True Mother in 2014 in response to brothers and sisters whose spouses ascended. A Comfort Blessing is a temporary (Earthly) marriage between two widowed Blessed persons. It is not an eternal Marriage Blessing. The expectation is that the two widowed individuals who receive the Comfort Blessing with one another will reconnect to their original spouse they received the Blessing with when they enter the spirit world. This union is meant to protect the Blessing and may help support the raising of the children from the original Blessings. No children should be conceived from this new union.

Let us support the many brothers and sisters whose spouse has ascended to the Spirit World.
