Last night I watched the Nightline Special: Beyond Belief which seemed to confirm my beliefs of the afterlife. One of the men interviewed talked about how he "died" and at the Gates waiting was his grandfather who said to him - Welcome Home. I immediately started to tear up as that is what a dear friend wrote in her final words to those she loved - telling us that one day when it was our time that she would be waiting to Welcome us Home.
After watching this show I went to bed and tearfully went to sleep thinking of my dear friend and my grandmother and how much I miss them. My grandma has been gone for over 22 years. I occasionally still dream about her. It is a strange feeling as in the dream I know she is gone but a part of me thinks if I can just hold her tight enough I can bring her back with me. I once in a while have a dream with my dad in it - in these dreams though I seem to have conversations we never really had when he was alive.
The people in the show last night all talked about how peaceful dying was that a calm seemed to come over all of them before moving on and that there was no pain involved. I find that very reassuring to know as one of the men was in a horrific accident.
I once had a dream - well I am not sure if it was actually a dream or not but was in a semi-conscious state - after Tim's dad passed away. I was laying in bed and saw Tim's dad start to walk into my room my reaction seemed to have made him change his mind. I had the feeling that he wanted to tell me something and to this day I regret being afraid and scaring him away. I believe if we allow the spirits to connect with us they will come but if you show fear, which we tend to do with the unknown, they will stay away so as not to frighten us.
Just to let those loved ones who have passed know that I am no longer fearful of being visited by you and welcome it in whatever form it may be.
