Krissy, I love Raymond Moody. He is fascinating. He worked with Danion Brinckly on his book "Saved by the Light." Was an absolutely fantastic book! I believe there to be an afterlife. Someplace where we go to continue our work but in complete peace and happiness until the second coming at which time we will all be judged. 

I had a dream once that I was in the afterlife and was traveling as angels do by hovering off the ground and being able to go at accelerated speeds. The feeling of weightlessness and freedom was phenomenal! I've had that dream more then once.

A lot of the NDE's seem to have similar details.  Cathy, have you read Embraced by the Light, by Betty Eadie?  I read everyhing I could get my hands on when my boy died 16 years ago.  I think I was living with one foot over there for a few years after he died.  Another book I found comforting was On Death and Dying by Elisabeth Kubler Ross.  She was a researcher on the subject.  Take a look at the bibliography of the books she wrote based on her research:

My child died in an previous life, that's why I have an son in this lifetime now...otherwise I doubt I'd have any kids today..strange as it is to say that. I have seen my friend's son several times now, he is still the good looking kid I knew him to be...he passed over from being hit by an car one year coming out from an "party".  I'm sure that he most likely will in his next lifetime have an wonderful family life. We must expereince all things you know to be "souls" of understanding. I have been told by more then one person that I am an "Old soul" as it is...I've expereinces an lot of joy...as well as much sorrow. You are building right now on the next lifetime...until you reach perfection. That is an honor you know, this thing called "life".  I still find the "angels" pretty awesome though! I have learned being around "JC" that he gives your very wish, so ask things of humane nature for the world...if you want this earth expereince to be an good one for us all...and always by the "will" of the Father. he has an higher intelligience to know what "good" is.

till now I've not entered into any forums but felt I would like to offer a contribution. our younger daughter (she was just 21) passed away a couple of years ago (from cancer), to be begin with we felt total sadness coupled with relief, that she was no longer suffering.  We were led to belive the first year is the hardest but actually found the 2nd year more difficult to cope with - my husband was told of a lovely lady in our town who could possible help us, the first visit I didn't feel up to going (only my husband & elder daughter went, I didn't want to set the scene, mum/dad/daughter - looking for ....)  when my husband and daughter arrived back from 'the meeting' I was utterly amazed as to how accurate the lady was.  I've since visited with my daughter & with my husband and have found the messages to be of great comfort (if  its all an act of reading our body language etc then this lady is very very clever, but how she knows details that only us as a close family know I cannot explain, from our experience there has got to be more to this life than any of us understands).

Hi Catherine, not sure how to eleborate but here goes - our daughter was an amazing young lady, despite knowing she wasn't going to get better, she lived life to the full & helped others and us cope with a situation we never imagined we'd be in.  Helen believed in 'afterlife'  & unbeknown to me, she made her Dad promise that he should try and make 'contact', she said it was the one thing she wanted most & would help her leave us peacefully.  Some months after Helen passed away my husband asked around and a friend of his, who he trusted, recommended this lady (Tina).  As I mentioned on the first visit I didn't go along, I didn't feel able to, I think I was scared of being disappointed.  From what I know when my husband made the appointment, the only info he needed to give was his christian name.  Helen was always a very dynamic person, sometimes she would wear you out just listening to her.  This was one of things that came across, that the person coming through was chattering away & Tina was having difficulty understanding what was being conveyed.  As a child Helen would speak so fast, people would often ask us to translate!  On that first visit, Tina asked who Jan/ Janet was.  My name is actually Janet.  Tina also said that Helen had passed on a significant day, 21st birthday, which was indeed correct.  Perhaps it could be said that this info could have come from the announcement in our local paper - but surely Tina would have to do a lot of research on every one person who visits her?  Mention was also made of the person who guided Helen over - my husband was told to ask me about a tin of buttons I used to play with at my grandmother's house, this meant nothing at all to my husband or my elder daughter.  On reaching home he asked me about this & I said yes I played with buttons at my grandmothers (little bit different to today's children!) but I couldn't remember the tin, I spoke to my sister & she said I remember it, it was green & gold!  I'll skip now to one of the times I went, Tina told me I still had Helen's purse, which is correct.  I'd emptied the purse of loose change & old receipts, and just kept Helen's driving license card in it, so as far as I was concerned other than that the purse was empty.  Tina told me there was a photo , passport size, in the purse that I'd never seen.  I thought, there can't be because I've been through it, and its probably just a coincidence, young girl purse???.  I went through the purse v.carefully and thought no nothing there, but just as that thought went through my mind my fingers touched something, it was in one of the slots you'd use for credit cards, I pulled out a passport photo of my niece, that till that day I had never seen!  There was only 6 months between my niece and Helen, they were not only cousins but very, very close friends. There has been many things that only we as a family would have insight to and certainly they are things that Tina would not know about, ie local press etc.  When we see Tina not everything means something, but I'd say at least 85% is accurate.  Tina lives on a local estate, when you visit her, its just like visiting a friend, nothing special laid on, no darkened rooms etc, you just sit in her lounge with her dogs jumping around.  Tina is a very warm friendly person.  As I said earlier if she is picking up on body language then she is extremely clever but there has got to be more to it - I can't really explain it.  My husband is more open that I am, & he has spoken to many people about his experiences with Tina, and many times that person knows someone who has been to see Tina & come away feeling comforted.  Hope this explains our experiences with Tina a little bit more.

Jan, that is so fascinating! Tina sounds like a lovely lady. Thank you so much for sharing that with me. Makes me think of Lisa Williams who is a clairvoyant/mediium. And she is just like Tina in those regards. Those people fascinate me. Wish I had access to someone like Tina.

Jan, I'm glad you are finding some comfort for your loss.  Yes, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th years are worse than the first when you're walking around in the merciful cushion of shock.  But losing your child is not like any other loss.  This one doesn't go away.  But it does get easier as the years go by.  And the happy memories become more dominant.  My boy was 16 when he died, so he's been gone almost as long as I had him.  It doesn't seem possible....

 I got one for you, and I am an "sensitive" having had several ned's now...after my dad passed away, I was on an spiritual site when one of the people I was talking to says..Whoa!..this guy just popped in ....and proceeded to describe what sounded like my dad, and I said, what's he want, and was told, he's angry because he doesn't have his teeth with him...all I could say was that if he was my dad, that he was "cremated"...why would he need his teeth?..never got an answer, and so when I went to talk to my step-mother the next time on the phone I asked her if she had dad's teeth, or if he had them, and she said, you know, I was going to leave them in and the last thing I did was decide not to, that maybe someone would have some use for them. I said, yeah, I just heard...dad did apparently.  Now this person that described my dad never knew him or of him either. This was an spirtiual site where we did healings for others and seldom mentioned our own family but briefly once in an while...if then.  I could never lie to those guys either, if something was bothering me, they knew immediately. I never had to mention it. They did an tremendous amount of good in my estimation. They did their best to ease the transition of death, and help other family members and explain to us others the processes of the human being roles with the creator. I use to like to call them "angels" on-line. The webmaster closed down the site for an few getting in that created havoc for everyone else...one an "programmed" human robot...an university expereiment dubbed "Hal 9000"...when he first came in his "work" was to excite us so that they could say that people that proclaim to be "kind" are far from it...and that we were predjiced people when it came to "God". We got tired of him telling us that "machines" were far superior.
