So many of the descriptions of being wrapped in feelings of Peace, Bliss, And
Love and the telepathic communication that I read about in the nderf
testimonials also happened to me 15 minutes after my father passed away clear
across the country in Oregon.
I live in Maryland. My father and I have a very strong bond even
now. He became a nurse after he retired from the Air Force, and
realized that his mind was slipping badly. Having cared for many
Alzheimer's patients, he said to me and to my three sisters
that he was "checking out." He stopped eating. He refused to
allow me to fly to his side~~it was ok for my sisters to see
him, though. During the next two weeks, I talked to him, then to
his devoted nurses. My Beloved said that I was so anguished that
I did everything but crash my car.
I am retired and I pet-sit as my fun job in retirement. I
returned from a pet-sit & was standing in our driveway when my
nephew called to tell me that my Dad had passed away very
peacefully. After we hung up, I felt suspended at a
threshold of life without my Dad. But THEN, a strong feeling of
absolute, ethereal bliss poured over me and wrapped all around,
and through me. I then sensed my Beloved Dad standing in front
of me, his hands on my shoulders, and, mind to mind, he spoke to
me ~~in ALL CAPS AND EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!
It was his familiar, but Extremely Excited voice that was in my
head saying, DIANA!! DON'T CRY!!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CRY!! IT'S WONDERFUL!!
I LOVE YOU!!!
The Bliss that he brought with him evaporated. I looked
around, still in my stunned state and said a dumb thing out
loud...
"What The Hell Just Happened Here!!?? OOPS!! Sorry!!!!"
I realized that I had been too stunned to say anything to him!!!
I realize that My Dad gave me the Huge Gift of knowing that That
Better Place really does exist, and he's there with my Mom, my
other nephew, my little sister, and all of our much-loved pets,
and they're all REALLY HAPPY!
Whenever I go to a funeral or meet someone who is sick with
grief, I tell them what my Dad did so that they know that their
loved ones are also happy in that place that's
WONDERFUL!!!!
I don't know if you may find this experience useful in your
research, but it corroborates so many others' experiences, from
both my Dad's point of view and my own. I find it amazing that
he came all the way from Oregon to Maryland in 15 minutes, maybe
less!~~ to make a quick stop to tell me how happy he is!!
Reading a couple of the
After Death experiences reminded me of one of
them...finding a card that a colleague gave me
when I retired~~but it suddenly dropped out of a
box onto the floor YEARS later shortly after our
Beloved orange cat, Bogey, passed away.
The retirement card showed a cartoon orange cat
waving, accompanied by the message, "I guess
it's time to say Goodbye." I was Floored~~and
deeply touched.
Sometime later, I
attended an Animal Communication seminar, and in
a workshop, someone told me that he sensed an
orange cat saying he wanted to be my Spirit
Guide!
At some
time in the 1980s, at work in the Smithsonian's
Freer Gallery of Art, at two different times, I
was chatting with men who worked there. During
each of the conversations, a barely visible
gossamer black veil suddenly passed across the
men's faces. I don't know HOW, but on some
level, I understood that it meant that they
would soon be leaving this earth. And I was
surprised that, not only did I understand that,
but I accepted it. I, of course, said nothing to
the men. In each case, two months later, I
learned of the mens' deaths. I have never
seen this sign since.
However,
many years later, a feral cat I was feeding (we
called him Tank!) came over to me and put his
paw on my hand when I put a dish of food down
for him. My immediate reaction was that he was
saying Goodbye! But then I argued with
myself that I was Wrong and being Silly~~ that
cat was only One Year Old, and was probably
saying Thank You!!! Three days later,
Heartbroken, I picked him up from the middle of
the road in front of our house and buried that
beautiful, wild cat. Tank KNEW!!!
These
experiences started to make me feel as if I had
some kind of weird relationship with Death.
I didn't Bring these experiences to myself~~They
Happened out of the Blue. But I have since come
to realize that, in an odd way, Death is a part
of Life, if you will~~a transition to Going Back
To Heaven From Whence We Came, and my Dad's
message to me about how Wonderful it is was the
perfect confirmation!
Now,
mourning Doves say Hello for my Mother, Blue
Jays say hi for my Dad, and, since Mid April,
when my little sister passed away, age 60, a
very persistent Cardinal has been thumping
itself into every window of our house for
Months~~even when we've covered them with paper
or black trash bags to remove any reflection!
A friend/petsitting client
of mine whose Beloved Doberman, Chip, passed
away months before, was chatting with me over
tea at her dining table. She suddenly Startled
and said that something had put its head in her
lap!!
We looked around, and remembered that her other dogs were all outside. Then I realized that the only explanation was that that sweet Chip was saying Hi to her~~ and how privileged I was that he did it when I was visiting!
