A few weeks after my mothers funeral, I was cleaning the living room at my moms house, packing away some of her things. I was still grieving for my beloved mom and I sat down and cried out, Mom, Mom, why did you die, I miss you. I started sobbing heavily and was calling out "Mom, Mom," for my recently deceased mother. 

All of a sudden a light appeared in the dining room, a white golden light, and the room changed to sky, open beautiful blue sky, and glorious emerald green grass, and iridescent white pebble stone walkways and emerald green glorious hills in the distance, and a glorious white domed building or university was in the background, with beautiful translucent human looking spirits milling about deep in concentration, conversation or study.  

My beloved mother appeared before me, she looked like a hologram of her beautiful self, she was transparent, iridescent and radiant. My mouth fell open, and I stood there seeing my Mom, she was close enough to touch. Mom looked at me with love, and said in her usual stern voice, telepathically, Honey, why are you crying and calling me? Look at me, I am fine. You do not need to cry. I am fine. Then my mom motioned to the beautiful building and beautiful other spirit beings in the background and said, You see honey, it is good here, we are very busy and we have a lot of work to do here, so please do not cry for me. I am fine, and you will be fine too. So please stop crying. 

I could reach out and touch my Mom, she was in hologram form and was transparent, so my hand would pass thru her, but she was still there standing before me, radiating goodness, peace and love. 

With that, my Mother motioned for me to take in this glorious view, this vista, the sight of the afterlife in Heaven, it was all so glorious, the other beings were so advanced and radiant, my Mom looked so radiant and glowing, there were colors there I have no words to describe, iridescent and glowing would not capture the beauty and radiance of the place and people, it was all like pure love, pure truth, pure beauty, all good, beyond good, like the most perfect place and people I have ever seen. 

Then the view to the other side closed and I was alone again sitting in the living room. A sense of awe and comfort permeated me.  

A short time later that day I called the administrator of my church and told her what I saw, she said, How blessed you are your Mother showed you heaven and the resurrection after passing, come to church Wednesday I will introduce you to a few other church members who also saw their loved ones in Heaven after their loved one passed. 

That Wednesday at church I was introduced to a nice family that had seen their dad appear after his passing. I learned many others are also blessed to have had contact with those on the other side. 

Thank you Mom, for restoring my faith in the afterlife.  

And thank you, for reading my testimony.
