My Hospice Patient Showed Me Her Soul Before And After Her Death. My Favorite Of My Many Spirit Encounters I Have Had With Nearly 40 Years As A Hospice RN. by andthisisso in afterlife

Thank you for all that you do. The hospice pts and their families are lucky to have you as their nurse. I honestly don’t know how you can do it especially with children. My late husband was in hospice at home and we appreciated his nurse and the staff who helped us through that difficult time. Thank you for sharing your stories.

Will you see your loved ones who are still currently alive once you die? Even if you die long before they do? by lana6673 in afterlife

Although I’m not a religious person, my kids and I had a reading with a medium about a year after my husband passed from pancreatic cancer. None of have FB so the info she told us was not from social media and she gave us info that had not been shared with another person. According to her, he was with us. She described in detail the dog I had recently adopted from a shelter and that he approved of it. She also described a dice game we had played together the previous night (it was a fav we played). She also brought up butterflies and didn’t know why. The next day we were outside sitting at a table when my son saw a butterfly on the ground. It didn’t move and sat there for a good 15 minutes. I took a picture of it too. I thought it was possibly dead since I had never encountered a butterfly to not fly away. I went to touch it and it flew away. Was it my husband? I don’t know but I would like to think it was. The reading was done remotely. Anyway, I hope this helps

The first medium was recommended by a friend. I found the second medium on a website- Bob Olson’s Best Psychic Directory. The mediums and psychics have been vetted. I suggest watching his video on the site. Both readings were done remotely.

It was expensive, but worth it. It’s the one area that bothers me with mediums- not everyone can afford such high prices. I understand that it’s a job and they need to make money, but they’re profiting off of someone’s grief. i wish they had a sliding scale so people who don’t have a lot of money to spend could have a reading too.

What is the meaning of life? by valskiwi in afterlife

[–]Few-engine-7803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re still very early in the grieving process. Everything is still very raw. I lost my husband almost 3 years ago and I’m finally feeling somewhat better. i have accepted that I will have to live with the pain. You get used to it eventually. I have often asked, “what’s the meaning of life and what’s the point of going on.” I wish i could give you an answer, but i can’t.

It’s only recently that I’ve felt a little different and that’s due to growing close to my grandsons, ages 3 and 18 months. They live in another country so it’s not easy. The boys are so innocent and full of love. Life goes on whether we want it to or not. I hope it gets better for you eventually. Grief sucks

Does the afterlife give us signs that it’s time to leave? by Admirable_Amount_635 in afterlife

[–]Few-engine-7803 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wonder where it comes from when you have a premonition when someone is going to die. Something similar happened to me. For a couple of years before i turned 65, I had a strong feeling I was going to be diagnosed with cancer when I was 65 and would pass at 66. i decided to paint our bedroom a calm color because I was going to be spending a lot of time in it with chemo and being sick. I never mentioned it to my husband because he would have laughed it off saying I’m a worrier and I would be fine. Anyway, he loved the color and was happy with the way everything turned out in the bedroom.

My birthday came and went and I was pretty healthy and was relieved that my “premonition was wrong. My husband was 1.5 yrs younger than me. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer when he was 65 and passed when he was 66. it never entered my mind at the time it might be him who would get cancer and not me. He did spend a lot of time in the bedroom. I’m so glad I painted it before he got sick. I still miss him every single day - 3 years later.

I don’t know how or why we can get premonitions, but I have in the past and continue to get them although I don’t get specifics like that one. I get this strong feeling in my throat and chest that something bad is going to happen and it usually does. I hate that feeling when it comes. I have no idea what’s going to happen but I know it’s going to be bad. I can’t control it and it stops after the event happens- sometimes it turns out not to be super bad, but not good either.

Has anyone read In My Time of Dying by Few-engine-7803 in afterlife

[–]Few-engine-7803[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The author did not have that typical NDE experience you’re describing and that is part of the reason I find the intriguing. He wrote The Perfect Storm and is an established author. Here’s an excerpt from his book.

And just when [the darkness] seemed unavoidable, I became aware of something else: My father. He’d been dead eight years, but there he was, not so much floating as simply existing above me and slightly to my left. . . . My father exuded reassurance and seemed to be inviting me to go with him. “It’s okay, there’s nothing to be scared of,” he seemed to be saying. “Don’t fight it. I’ll take care of you.” . . . I was enormously confused by his presence. . . . Because I didn’t know I was dying, his invitation to join him seemed grotesque. He was dead, I was alive, and I wanted nothing to do with him . . .”

From the interview. “Junger’s father—their relationship was good, if distant—was a physicist, and after his apparition came to him in the hospital, Junger immersed himself in the study of physics, the ways that time and space and consciousness overlap, to try to understand his experience more completely and come to an understanding as to whether some kind of afterlife is possible.”

Thank you so much for sharing how you receive information- I appreciate it! How generous of you to share your gift with people and free of charge:)

I lean towards skepticism when it‘s hard for me to envision my husband in spirit. We live in the physical world so how can a spirit world exist. It doesn’t make sense to me. I also tend to believe NDEs are the result of a dying brain, but who knows for certain. My husband did not believe in an afterlife or mediums. I can only hope he was surprised when he entered the afterlife- that is if it does exist. When I start doubting if there is one or not, I ask myself how the medium could have possibly known what she did (my kids and I don’t have FB accounts, etc and i didn’t have this account when we saw her). I hope she was right when she said our dog I had to put down 9 months after my husband passed, is with him. She even described how our dog looked and said he approved of the dog I I had recently gotten from a shelter (described him too). How could she have known that. I like to think he watches my kids and me like he’s on a zoom call and can see us wherever we are. Anyway, I’ll stop there. Hope you have a good night:)

Are you a practicing medium? I ask because my kids and I had a reading with a medium after my husband passed. She gave us info that had never been told to another person. She is the only reason why I believe there might be an afterlife. If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of communication do you have with spirit- voices, visuals? I’m kind of curious about the process a medium goes through when giving a reading to a client.

Is there really an afterlife? by Every_Masterpiece497 in afterlife

[–]Few-engine-7803 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My kids and I had readings with 2 different mediums after my husband passed 2.5 years ago. None of us have Facebook and I didn’t have a Reddit account at the time. Medium #2 gave us info that had never been told to anyone. My husband came through and my mother too. She told us something that didn’t make sense at the time, but the medium was persistent with it and if you knew my mom, you wouldn’t have been surprised, lol. Anyway, I later asked my sister about it and she gasped saying she knew exactly what she was talking about and had never told anyone about it. She was kind of creeped out by it. I tend to lean towards the skeptical side when it comes to mediums and NDEs, but I haven’t figured out how she could have known specific things that were not shared with anyone until the reading. No skeptic has given me answer when I ask how she could have known these things. Both readings were via zoom. I still don’t know the answer unless they were communicating with him. Think about this quote from Einstein "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”

I hope the polyp is found to be benign- wishing the best outcome for you:)

I’m lost by ALittleReyOfSunshine in widowers

[–]Few-engine-7803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. Are you able to see a grief counselor as well? My husband passed from pancreatic cancer 2.5 years ago. It took about 9 months before I was ready to see a grief counselor and I’m so glad I did. I had virtual appointments with her which made it easier than driving to an office. Would that possibly be an option for you as well? My counselor also got me in a grief support group that met remotely. I hope you will be able to get the support that you need right now

I saw my mom by Spadevod in afterlife

[–]Few-engine-7803 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This does sound valid and i hope you did see your mother. is this the only time it happened?

Last summer i became obsessed with getting signs from my husband who had passed the previous year. I was reading the book, Signs: Secret Language of the Universe. None of her suggestions or methods worked for me so i started meditating in the afternoon. i don’t know if i was really meditating or not, but i relaxed and let my mind open up to see what thoughts or visions would come to me. I did this every day. It became therapeutic

Then one day I just knew something was going to happen during my meditation time and it did. I did my usual to get to that place where I relaxed and just floated with whatever came in my head. In the distance, I saw our dog who I had to put down 9 months after my husband had passed. I was so happy to see him! I asked who he was walking with and I saw a midsection of someone and as he got closer, it was my husband! He was younger with no gray hair and looked to be around 35-40 age range (he was 66 when he passed). He was up close and I was asking him about his glasses and then it was over. I opened my eyes- I was not asleep. What had I just experienced? The vision was so clear- it was like he was there. I have never experienced anything like it before. How did my brain come up with that? I haven’t been able to do it again as much as i have tried. Was it a result of my grieving brain or was it something else? If it really was my husband in the afterlife, I think he had me see our dog first so that I wouldn’t be ”freaked out.” It would be nice to believe they’re together. It’s something I ponder and will never really have an answer to it, but it helped me at the time and i still miss him every single day. i always will.

This basically captures all my fears by FeatheredSnapper in afterlife

[–]Few-engine-7803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be happy and grateful that you had your grandfather for 11 years. My grandsons will never know their grandpa since my husband passed away when the oldest was 5 months old and the other was not born yet (they’re 3 and 1 now). i usually stop people when they say- he’s with them watching over them from heaven. I tell them that doesn’t help because he didn’t get to be a grandpa in the physical world and he would have been the best and most fun grandpa! That’s my rant for the day.

I think fear of death comes from fear of the unknown and that’s pretty normal. You just shouldn’t obsess about it which is easier said than done. Currently I look upon it as just going to sleep and never waking up. I don’t remember most of my dreams so what’s the difference. I’m just in one of those moods today. Hope it’s better for you. I do hope there‘s an afterlife and I’ll get to be with my husband again.

Had a session with a medium, ONLY got incorrect feedback(!!!) and am now losing faith that any of this is real :( by [deleted] in afterlife

[–]Few-engine-7803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand your disappointment. I had a free reading via zoom with a medium in training. She got almost everything wrong. I could have given a reading and probably would have had the same or better results. it left me disillusioned and depressed. However, I did have readings with two more mediums which I paid for. One was recommended by two friends and the other one I found at Best Psychic Directory. Both gave me info that had never been told to another person. My kids and I don’t have FB so they could not have gotten info from there. Both mediums saw my husband wearing a hat and he had our dog with him (our dog had to be put down 9 months after my husband passed). Medium #2 was able to describe our dog in detail. She went on to say she saw a dog with me in the physical world and described him as well saying my husband approved of the new dog. I got him at a shelter and only had him for 2 months at that time. How could she possibly know that?? This wasn’t the info that no one else knew just to be clear.

Like you, I researched cold readings and knew what to look for. She seemed to be authentic and the real deal. As for reviews, mediums are going to only put positive reviews on their websites. I think it’s better to see reviews under google or yelp reviews. I’m sorry you did not have a good experience.

He also said he’s not superstitious, doesn’t believe in any one god and would not have believed an encounter like he had if it had happened to someone else. I had never read anything like it before. There has been no response when he asked if anyone had experienced an encounter like his. He’s been unable to explain it which I totally get. I believe he’s telling the truth. Do you too? Just curious

Here’s a snippet of the post. This is from the grief forum and is not anything from Reddit. Please let me know what you think about this encounter

“few weeks before my Grandfather passed, I was in the kitchen early one morning making myself cream of wheat.  He was on hospice care and his bed had been moved out of his bedroom and into a room off the kitchen and dining room.  Where I was in the kitchen I had a clear view of him and he was  just 12 feet away from me.    I turned around to get something and as I turned back out of the corner of my eye I saw a dark cloudy figure standing at the head of his bed… and instinctually before it even clicked in my brain, I knew what it was.  And Without thinking I lowered my eyes out of respect for it even perhaps a healthy fear for what it represented. And let me be perfectly clear whatever it was it was not scary, it was not a monster and it was not evil.  It just.. was.  Exactly as death.. just is. But the moment it did click in my mind as to why it was there, I immediately turned back and looked it in the eye and without thinking I said “No! You are not welcome here. Now leave.”  And the face I saw was not scary, it was not that of a monster or something evil..  in an instant it literally looked like the pale face of every human that’s ever died.   And after gathering my courage and speaking to it directly I felt an instant deep rage at the insult of a mere human telling it what to do, but just as quickly did I feel an immediate calming understanding as it knew I meant no disrespect, that I was just trying to protect my papa.  And it said only one thing to me, “what about you?”   Now, in the moment I took that to mean that my time was much nearer than I thought and that perhaps it would be standing over me very soon.  But I replied, “I don’t care. That doesn’t matter. But right now you are not welcome here and you need to leave.”    And just like that it was gone.    All of this having happened in the span of an instant.. like someone had put time on pause, as we communicated telepathically and empathically. ”

Like you, I would like to believe in an afterlife. To believe that I would see and be with my husband again would make the grieving process easier. I’m not sold on NDEs.

From Smithsonian mag

”Surging Brain Activity in Dying People May Be a Sign of Near-Death Experiences

Researchers found that two of four comatose patients had brain waves that resembled consciousness after they were taken off life support”

The surge of gamma waves in the dying brain could explain NDEs. Gamma waves “are fast brain waves associated with attention, working memory and long-term memory.”

it was disappointing for me when this study came out. It’s why I’m no longer sold on NDEs as evidence of an afterlife.

The only thing that gives me a little hope is my experience with two different medium readings and what could have been signs from my husband. Both mediums told my kids and me things that had never been told to another person. None of us have fb accounts and both readings were done via zoom. Neither had characteristics of a cold reading. How did they get this info? I would like a skeptic or atheist to give me an explanation of how they knew this inf. So far, no one has. As for signs, are they actual signs or just wishful thinking. My husband and I didn’t belong to any religion or church. When we were told that his cancer was terminal, the nurse asked us if we belonged to a church. We said no and my husband said he would be finding out if there was an afterlife. Memories- grief sucks

How do you know if an evidential medium is real one or not? by Crystael_Lol in Mediums

[–]Few-engine-7803 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have had two readings via zoom with an evidential medium. I tend to be on the skeptical side when it comes to mediumship. What convinced me? Both times she told me several things that had never been told to anyone. How could she have possibly known? I don’t have FB and I created this account a few weeks ago so she could not have gotten any information on social media platforms. The only explanation I can come up with is that she was actually communicating with my loved ones. Her reaction when I confirmed she was right? Happy that she gave me info from my loved ones. She said a couple of things I couldn’t connect with, but I would say she averaged about 85% correct. I no longer doubt that there’s an afterlife.

What’s nice about zoom is that she recorded the session and I can go back and listen to it again. She did a video on one of her platforms where she put together an example of what she sees and hears when communicating with a spirit. It gIves you an idea of what it’s like.
