about 12 hours after my mother died as I was lying in my bed ready to sleep I had the vision of a tunnel made out of brown clouds and at the other end of this tunnel was THE LIGHT, the light was love and it came through the tunnel bathing me in such strong love that I had the thought and regret that in my life I hadn't experienced such a wonderful deep love.

also I 'saw' my mother floating in the tunnel towards the light ... but she was invisible!!!

forever the word LOVE will have changed meaning because it can say only very little compared with my experience

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     I saw the tunnel with the light at the other end (my mother floating in the middle of it towards the light) the light floating all over me and the unbelievably strong feeling of LOVE ; That's when the word love seems so small compared with what I experienced
