The bed doesn’t hold danger. It holds history.
The bed isn’t a place of death, it’s a place of life.
When a person dies, what remains in the room isn’t darkness. It’s memory. It’s the trace of everything that was experienced there: conversations, affection, laughter, nights of companionship, shared prayers.
Fear arises not because there’s anything wrong with the room, but because confronting it forces us to look at what we avoid:
Our sadness.
Our emptiness.
Our mortality.
That’s why many are afraid to sleep there. They aren’t afraid of the bed. They’re afraid of reliving the pain.
But love doesn’t disappear. It transforms.
What was in that room wasn’t death: it was life.
The bed isn’t a tomb. It’s a witness to what existed.
Sleeping in the bed of a deceased person isn’t forbidden.
There’s no biblical or Christian teaching that prohibits sleeping in the bed of someone who has already passed away. Nor is there any basis for believing that the bed becomes “contaminated” or burdened with shadows.
