Do you beleive in the after life???

[shazzarooney99]

if you do then why do you? my mum and aunty died within 3 months, mum in october and aunty in january, when id been speaking too after my mums death, my aunty had been ill over christmas and new year and she seemed to perk up and thats when i spoke to her, i said i thought you were going to die, anyway when we were on the subject i said to her when you do please give me a sign that there is an after life, but anyway ive had nowt.

a few weeks after my mum had died a little robin redbreast landed on my garden gate when i was having a fag, then it jumped onto the fence on my right, then jumped onto the grass right in front of me and this has never happened before.

After my aunty died i went into the school playground and decided to shelter from the wind, too look down and there was a white feather at my feet, anyway both these things could mean complete coinsidence, so who is to say there is actually an after life??????

My DH went missing in December and his body was found 11 days later. The morning he went missing (at this point I thought he was in work), DS (4) was laying in bed with me and said "mummy, daddy's by there. He's come through the wall but the walls not broken". I could see ds looking someone in the eye and smiling. When the police knocked the door that night I threw up. Even though they told me they were sure he was still alive, I knew he wasn't because of what DS saw.

Yes, I'm a spiritualist and have had so much proof. Having said that I do think things/experiences need to be properly looked at. And also if people have readings they need to be open to it,yes, but also not feed the medium.

Spirit is beautiful. They have helped me so much in my life. I could write a book.

I was a Christian for many years but didn't get answers to my questions.

For those who say they want to feel their loved ones, maybe try sitting in the quiet for a few minutes daily. Be patient. Feel the energies change over time. You won't sense immediately but if you give it time you may find you can see images in your minds eye, feel energies changing around you, breezes, smells....or something else. Don't be scared. If you do feel scared then maybe you're not ready. Mediums sit for years sometimes before they get anything. Some are born ready.

I have always believed that our souls leave our bodies upon death and enter again as a newborn baby. HOwever, the only thing I'm sure about, having seen many dead bodies, is that our body is just a shell and what makes us ourselves, does go somewhere upon death.It is so obvious when you see a dead body that the actual person has gone.

DH died suddenly almost three years ago. 6 months after he died it was my 40th birthday. My sister had bought me some 40th helium balloons which hung around the house for a few days. About a week after my birthday I was on my own in the house and went up to bedroom to put some washing away. One of the balloons was sitting right in the middle of my side of the bed. It felt like DH was trying to wish me a Happy Birthday

It's been scientifically proven that energy can't be destroyed, Spiritually I believe as in the morning of the day she died. I saw a rainbow. No rain or sun but honestly. I really did see a rainbow. Possibly my imagination. I don't dispute that, and when we were allowed back into the room after her death had been confirmed. The song somewhere over the rainbow was playing. It was mums favourite song. The sense of peace in the room was over whelming. I know it was my mum telling me that shes happy and her soul is somewhere over the rainbow. So I chose that song for her funeral. It just fitted so well.
I talk to her all the time in present tense, she as oh mum guess what happened to day, ect. I know she can hear me.

I don't believe but that gives me comfort, I
I'd hate to think I was going to be around forever or that deceased loved ones were hanging around waiting.

My Dad always used to say 'what do you remember from before you were born? We'll that's what it'll be like when you're dead, nothing, but you won't know anything about it'.

He died suddenly 3 years ago and I'm still grieving terribly for him but I do feel a bit of happiness that he wasn't scared of dying and that he's not stuck somewhere missing out on his two much wanted grand daughters where he'd be able to see them but not play with and cuddle them.

No. I don't believe in an afterlife or signs or any kind of woo and I have no wish to. I think people see what they want to see and what they are looking for. I suspect that if someone decided that blackbirds were a bird of good omen, they would notice blackbirds hopping around more. And brown feathers if they were considered lucky or a sign. It's understandable that people look for sources of comfort, of course, but I don't find the idea of an afterlife comforting.

I don't believe in the classic, religious afterlife.

However, energy never goes, it just changes. Therefore when we die we become part of the world in a different way.

I also love that we are made of the same stuff as stars and planets etc.

Carl Sagans 'we are all star stuff' is my fav quote atm. It brings me comfort after loosing both dd2 and ds.
