Life after Death - Do you believe?

I am not sure how to open up a discussion of life after death. Prior to my wife passing I did'nt believe at all. However, something happened that has changed my mind. I will share with you now for the first time. First, some background. My wifes dad (my father in law) died at the age of 44 from cancer, Sherry (my wife) was 16 at the time..... Fast forward 33 years.... Sherry was diagnosed with cancer 2/14/08, the outlook was bleak, the cancer was very aggressive. By mid April she was extremely weak and the Drs. had given us a terminal diagnosis (weeks). On saturday 4/19 She was laying on the couch, I was beside her wiping her forehead with a wash cloth and helping her to drink. Out of the blue she said "my dad wants to know if he can take me on Monday"? then, "what are we doing Monday"? I told her that we had radiation treatment in the morning, iv hydration in the afternoon. She asked "what is the difference between Monday and Tuesday"? I gave her the Tuesday agenda and she pondered my response with an inquisitive "hmmm". Now, keep in mind that the cancer had spread to her brain and it was difficult, if not impossible, for her to have lucid conversation. But these questions were crystal clear. That night a couple of friends brought me dinner and I broke down in the kitchen when I told them that I thought Sherry was going to die on Monday, but could'nt explain why. Later that night as I carried her to bed and was rubbing lotion on her legs, arms, hands etc. She said "Dad says we will be playing together again soon". I cried and told her that I knew, and it was going to be ok. Sunday lots of friends and family came to visit then Sunday night she gave her mom and brother a hug and told them she loved them. Sherry died Monday morning 4/21 at 7:45am, she woke me at 6am saying "honey !, Oh' Daddy", "oh Daddy". And then slowly slid away over the next couple of hours very peacefully.
I was a complete non-believer in anything like "life after death" and communication from beyond. Actually I would win every debate arguing against it. However, now I can guarantee you that there is "something" else. I don't know what it is, or what it could be. But I am certain that Sherry was taken to the "spirit world" (for lack of a better term), by her dad. I hope she is the one who comes to take me. For in that moment that she left there was NOTHING but complete love and peace surrounding us. I believe... I believe... Posted on 05/08/08, 06:05 pm |

I have had many instances which support my belief in life after death; most of them have been my dad - have felt him around me many many times in the 18 1/2 years since he has transcended the earth plane.

I remember when my sister was in the hospital and her health started to go downhill pretty fast, there was one moment where she was sitting in a chair and she kept looking over to her right. She felt a little paranoid and she kept saying that she felt like someone was standing next to her at all times. I couldnt help but think it was my father who passed away a couple of years before. I really have a much stronger belief since she passed away, I really feel her around me sometimes.

I have to agree 100%. As my gram was "leaving this earth" she would close her eyes and smile and wave, seemingly randomly. My mom asked her if she was okay and she opened her eyes and said "I saw Frank's mom (my other grandma) and she is waving me over to the other side." Then she closed her eyes and smiled. She also talked about all of the beautiful babies in the gardens and that she knew where whe would be useful next. Wow, crying as I write this. Changed my life and I have NO doubt there is more thatn this world. Peace to you-

I just wanted to say that you and your wife were truely blessed. I cannot believe how lovely you wrote about her and her passing. She was very blessed to have you in her life. I am a great believer that there is life after death. After my husband passed, before I knew he was gone, I felt a hug of warmth while waiting to find out. I believe with all my heart he hugged me to give me warmth and to comfort me. I knew then, even though the authorities did not tell me till hours later, that he was gone. I also believe that when someone passes in our presence, it is the one last and most beautiful gift they have given us. I enjoyed reading your love story, even though you are so saddened at this time. I feel like I have all the traits you commented on about your wife, and she was a blessed woman to have someone in her life that realized who she was and did not take advantage of her and just loved her as much as you did. I know how difficult getting through the day is for you, please know your wife is with you all day every day. Take care, Lori

Eleryone here believes in life after death, But does Anyone here actually have any type of proof to actually back up these claims? Some type of WRITTEN proof maybe??
And I'm not talking about cuz someone you know died and came back from being "clinically",... I mean, Does anyone have any real and honest proof?

I think that within myself I think that there is something, I want to believe that there is something....I Mom had said over and over again, "Mamma, aiuto" which means help me, I wondered if she was there or if she was just in so much pain. I hope that she was there, i felt like her mom was there, a presence of some sort. ... We did grow up in a bi-lingual house of italian and english, but most of the time it was only italian when someone was in trouble or if she was really angry about something. The last few days of my moms life, she spoke mostly all in italian... I think that your Sherry left with her father holding her hand. ..and that is something that definately can give you some peace. I do believe ...

You have my sympathies, but wishful thinking is not what I'm referring to...We WANT to believe there is something, but the TRUTH is more important than anything else...Wouldn't you agree?

AGAIN PROFXAVIERSQ:
Please keep you comments to yourself, we like to believe that there is life after death and you don't need to sit on here and make a mockery of everyone, according to your other post you are a Jehovah Witness, so don't come knocking on my door.
