Please Keep Them in Your Thoughts & Prayers

Kety,
My brother's wife passed away 4 years ago. A few months after she made her transition he called me in a panic, terribly upset. He thought he was losing his mind because he had just awakened from a very vivid dream. He said his wife had come to him and told him she was OK, that she was in a beautiful place, with her mother, sisters and brother, all happy and content. Over the past years I once and a while get a call from him in which he tells me he can see his wife, our mother, dad, brother and sister and, most remarkably his deceased son, who had died 5 days after his birth. Most astoundingly he sees him as a fully grown 44 year old man!

28 years ago he underwent his first heart by-pass surgery. Apparently he clinically died on the operating table. He said he went into the tunnel of light and saw the most beautiful place, no pain or suffering, just peace and calm, then was told by some being that it was not his time to make the crossing and came back. He had a wife and son that really needed him. 2 days ago he told me he saw this beautiful place again, that there everyone has their own piece of land. Everyone gets along, no wars, no disease, no strife. He has had several of these type dreams over the past 4 years. As he turns to me for help, I reassure him he's not crazy, that what he sees is not all that uncommon. Most importantly I tell him that I fervently believe that he's being reassured by his wife that she is still nearby, that this is testimony to the fact that the love they shared for 54 years is truly eternal.

3 years ago a close friend underwent knee surgery, and apparently clinically died as he, too, went into the tunnel, saw a place of indescribable beauty and before he could cross thru the entrance was told he had unfinished business on the earthly plane and was sent back. Well he came back alright -- madder than hell 'cuz he had to return. He came to understand that he and his now 12 year grandson have work to do together, discharge some karma as the Buddhists say. Now with his grandson he is enjoying seeing him grow into a very talented jazz drummer. (He plays with grandad Joe in his jazz band.) But I can tell you this, with no reservation, that when his time does come his soul will be rejoicing, big time. He won't just float into the tunnel, he'll be skipping like a kid!

I offer these accounts as an extension of love to a wonderful lady. I hope they bring you some solace.

Love and peace,

Rich

BTW By 1978 I had lost my faith. I got back on my path via science, in particular after reading Raymond Moody's "Life After Life" and subsequent clinical studies re: the Near Death Experience. Yes, I believe as Nancy says, there are planes of existence way beyond this plane.

Kety,

I can empathize with you in missing your beloved grandfather. When my beloved husband died, I felt like every cell in my body had been ripped asunder.

On the other hand, as a metaphysician, I had studied life after death, reincarnation, and meditated to the point of being sensitive to other planes of existence. I could feel my husband's presence with me; we could communicate. One day about three months after he died, I was walking in the snow marveling at its peaceful beauty. I heard John say, "This (meaning the snow) is nothing compared to the beauty of where I am."

When Mother died, all four of us (children) could hear her rejoicing, "I'm free ... I'm free!" We all knew that Mother and her family were celebrating ... singing and dancing with joy. We all feel her presence with us and communicate with her.

My sister, whose husband died four months before mine, has the same experiences with Don. He watches over her; she is often aware of his presence with her.

At age 6 years, my adopted daughter lost her mother. Later, she lost her grandmother, her godfather, her uncle Don, and her step-father, John. She feels all of them around her.

Death (better termed "returning to spirit") is like being in another room of the house ... out of sight to all but the clairvoyant, but still near by. I think this is especially true when the relationship has been a close one. Your grandfather's presence is with you, watching over you. Give yourself the gift of being open to experiencing his presence. Know that as thoughts drop into your head that sound exactly like your grandfather, he is communicating with you.

There are many books on life after death, many more on near-death experiences. Scientists think they have an explanation for near-death experiences, but I don't buy it. I've had too many meditative experiences of other realms. My grandson died when he was two years old. My daughter knows CPR. She and the ambulance medic restored his breathing. Later my two year old grandson told his older sister (not his parents) that he saw Jesus and he told him to come back. That's a little much for a two year old to make up when he had never heard anyone talk in those terms.

Know that your grandfather is happy, productive, and watching over his precious granddaughter, Kety. I'm sure he is proud that you created Crossleft!

I will pass on your kind words.

Prayers for a happy crossing and joyous reunion for your manager's mother, strength and peace for her children and their loved ones, and special knowledge for you in helping us pray for them. (no names is understood, I asked because it helps me in praying, but they aren't necessary at all)
