In a lot of places it feels really risky to speak openly about anything like this--at least I felt that way... I have never experienced what you described, but I also carry the conviction that it does not end when we depart these bodies--this existence. My realization came as a result of a visit from someone I loved very much who passed with no goodbyes even being possible. She said it only gets better after this, and that there is nothing to fear. I trust her in death every bit as much as I did in life, and I've carried that with me every day since she died almost 20 years ago.

Took me several years to be able or willing to talk about my experience with ANYONE except my husband. This group was the first place I ever spoke about it publicly, and I have never met with anything here other than affection and acceptance.

Thank you so very much for being willing to trust us with this gift of shared information.
