I'm Sandra Champlain. For almost twenty 12 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: five years, I've been on a journey to prove the 13 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: existence of life after death. On each episode, will discuss 14 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: the reasons we now know that our loved ones have 15 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: survived physical death, and so will we. Welcome to Shades 16 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: of the Afterlife. A few months ago I was asked 17 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: to write a forward for an upcoming book and the 18 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: author said, I'll send you all the chapters that I 19 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: have so far and leave it with you, And I said, yes, 20 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: I did. And the book is called Gathering at The Doorway, 21 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: an anthology of signs, visits, and messages from the afterlife, 22 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: all compiled by Camille Dan. I really didn't know her 23 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: story why she asked me, but you know, I said yes. Well, 24 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: the book just came out this past week and it 25 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: is filled with over forty stories from people, from scientists, 26 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: et cetera about reasons to believe in the after life. 27 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,080 Speaker 1: And as you may know, I still have another show 28 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: called We Don't Die Radio, which is more one hour 29 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: straight interviews with people, and I got an opportunity to 30 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: interview Camille and my heart was really touched. Little did 31 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 1: I know that three years ago her son had passed, 32 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: and of course, as a bereaved mom, looking for reasons 33 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: to believe that he's still around, she just combed through books, etcetera. 34 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: And someone said you should check out podcasts. Well, she 35 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 1: found my podcast and she went through almost all of them, 36 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: I think, actually all of them, and how it changed 37 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: her life. Not only that, but how she ended up 38 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: developing a relationship with her son across the veil. If 39 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: you're interested, you can actually watch the video interview I 40 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: did with Meal. You can go to YouTube and type 41 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: in We Don't Die Radio three and you can hear 42 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: her story. I'm not going to repeat her story on 43 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: this episode, but I do want to share a few 44 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: things from the book. Like I said, it's a compilation 45 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: of many, many authors and many stories, and I'd like 46 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: to read to you one of the stories because it 47 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: just touches my heart and lets us all know that 48 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: signs are real. But we have to pay attention, Yes 49 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: we do so. This first story is called Death of 50 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: a Skeptic by Carol Allen. Who would have known that 51 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: I would be such a hard nut to crack. My 52 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: doubts began to creep their weight right back in like 53 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: a broken record. I constantly reassured myself. Tyler touched me. 54 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: I heard him? And what about the song the video 55 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 1: with the precise words I needed to hear? Okay, Tyler, 56 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: if you are here, I need more proof. Even though 57 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: my Tyler had gone above and beyond with so many 58 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: signs and messages already, why did I still require more validation? 59 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: Why did I doubt it? It's not like I had 60 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: forgotten the previous experiences, but I yearned for more. Undeniably 61 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: magical things continued to happen. For example, while driving to 62 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: the grocery store one afternoon, music abruptly began playing loudly. 63 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: Oddly enough, it wasn't coming from the radio. Rather, the 64 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,239 Speaker 1: music was blasting from inside of my purse. I pulled 65 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: over to see what was going on, and inside was 66 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: my tablet tucked away and its folded stand keyboard combination case. 67 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: It was deep inside my purse, still clearly closed. Regardless 68 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 1: the music was loudly playing. It played an unfamiliar song 69 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: that I've since been unable to locate. The song described 70 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: laughter and joy. It was uplifting and my son's way 71 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: of saying good afternoon mom. I arrived at the grocery store. 72 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: This was my first trip back since Tyler's passing. Hoping 73 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: it would make the experience less painful, I chose a 74 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: branch location less familiar to me. While walking down the aisle, 75 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: I happened to glance at what was one of Tyler's 76 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 1: favorite chips, only to become flooded with emotion. I recalled 77 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 1: how Tyler would put these chips inside of a sandwich. 78 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Standing in the aisle, completely still, my eyes welled up 79 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: with tears. Suddenly, the bag of chips fell from the shelf, 80 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: landing directly in front of my feet. Confused, I looked 81 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 1: up and down the aisle, trying to piece together how 82 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: the bag mysteriously landed at my feet, only to find 83 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: that there was no one else there. I was completely 84 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: alone in this aisle. I knew immediately what had happened, 85 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: but could hardly believe it. Did Tyler just knock down 86 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: those chips? Deep inside my soul? I knew that it 87 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: was him. This made me smile as I whispered, I 88 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: love you, Tye. Next, I headed over to the deli. 89 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: While looking through the selection of encased Deli meats, etched 90 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: into the glass read the name Tyler. All I could 91 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: do was stare and disbelief. Shocked at what I was 92 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: looking at. You've got to be kidding, I whispered to 93 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: myself as I smiled and laughed. How can I help you, 94 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: asked the clerk. Rather than placing an order, I asked 95 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: the clerk if she had any knowledge about why the 96 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: glass read Tyler. I couldn't help myself. All I could 97 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: think was why, of all the infinite things that it 98 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,720 Speaker 1: could have been etched onto the glass encasing, did it 99 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: have the name Tyler. Perplexed by what I had just asked. 100 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: She gave me a bizarre look and responded, I believe 101 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: it's the name of the glass company. Speechless and in disbelief, 102 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: I paused to gather myself before ordering. This was more 103 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: than a coincidence, as this wasn't just unlikely, but borderline impossible. 104 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: The odds of Tyler's name being boldly displayed on my 105 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: very first trip back to an unfamiliar store were too 106 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: significant to write off as a coincidence. This was Tyler. 107 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: On the drive home, I called my sister Maryland to 108 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: come meet me at my house. I wanted to share 109 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: with her in person what had just transpired. We sat 110 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: together on the couch as I attempted to effectively communicate 111 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: what I just experienced without completely fumbling over the words 112 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: with laughter. For the first time in a long time, 113 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: the tears that were rolling down my cheeks were of joy. 114 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: I was laughing so hard that I could barely speak. 115 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: You should have seen the way the woman to me 116 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: after I asked why the name Tyler was acted on 117 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: the glass, I exclaimed, while hysterically cracking up. It was 118 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: then at that very moment that the lamp right next 119 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: to me turned on randomly. That's strange. How did you 120 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: just turn that lamp on, I asked, Marilyn, Are you kidding? 121 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: It's Tyler again, Marilyn yelled with a smile from ear 122 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: to ear. Marylyn has always believed in the afterlife, frequently 123 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: referencing her experiences with spirits loved ones on the other side. 124 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: Long before Tyler's accident years ago, when my boys were little, 125 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: for example, Marilyn religiously watched a television program that featured 126 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: a psychic medium from the East Coast. At the time, 127 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: I would say things to her like, you are too funny, 128 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: It's hard to imagine that you believe in this stuff. 129 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 1: I never actually watched an episode myself. I deemed it 130 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: fiction and was far too skeptical to even entertain the idea. 131 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: I became addicted to the signs and could never have 132 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: enough of them. It's time for another sign, Tye. Please 133 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: play me one of your songs. I turned on the radio. 134 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: There was no song playing, rather an announcer's voice. I 135 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: raised the volume. We have a Tyler on the line. 136 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: How are you Tyler. Rather than noticing the deliberate sign 137 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: that was placed in front of me, believe it or not, 138 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: I felt abandoned. I expected to hear something we played 139 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: at the service for him, perhaps Simple Man by Leonard 140 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: skinnerd or one of the other songs we had included 141 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: in his video. With my head in a downward spiral 142 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: over the absence of music at the time, it had 143 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: never even crossed my mind that this was his sign. 144 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 1: Feeling cheated, I again pleaded with him the following day, Tyler, 145 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: let's try this again. Please play me your song. I 146 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: turned to the station and heard we need to congratulate 147 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: Tyler on his engagement. This time, unlike the day before, 148 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: the fog lifted and it became crystal clear. Perhaps it 149 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: was not what I had expected, but nonetheless a wonderful sign. 150 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: I smiled as I recounted the announcer's statement on the 151 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: radio from the previous day, realizing what I hadn't yet 152 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: put together. Days later, I found the courage to clean 153 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: Tyler's room. I hadn't been able to bring myself to 154 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: stay in there long enough, as it was far too painful. 155 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: I certainly had no intention of parting with any of 156 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: his things, but needed to dust, vacuum, and organize a bit. 157 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: As I was tidying up things like candy wrappers, empty 158 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: water bottles, and junk food began to dominate the inside 159 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: of the trash bin. On the floor stood Tyler's sneakers, 160 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: remaining in the precise position he had last left them. 161 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: I looked at his closet full of clothes and walked 162 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: to the closet, Reaching for his shirt, I closed my 163 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: eyes and I placed his crisp, clean shirt to my 164 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: face to smell it. I could feel my tears as 165 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,000 Speaker 1: they rolled down my cheeks onto the shirt. This was 166 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: beyond difficult opening my eyes. I then walked over to 167 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: the desk. There were still papers scattered on top, partnered 168 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: by a remote control from his Xbox console. Inside his 169 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: desk was a drawer and a journal. It was clear, 170 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: after shuffling through all of his pages that the entire 171 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: journal contained only one sentence. It said I know two things. 172 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: God exists and I exist, Tyler wrote boldly across the 173 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: center of the first page. The remaining pages that followed 174 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: were left blank. Later that evening, as we were watching television, 175 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: I told Tony about Tyler's journal that I had sound. 176 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: Wow was all he could say. His voice was shaky. 177 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Coupled with his speechless a demeanor. Don't you think it's crazy, 178 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: I asked. We haven't spent much time over the years 179 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: practicing religion or even referencing God with Tyler. I'm just devastated, Carol, 180 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: Tony said, I want him here. I stood up and 181 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: made my way into the kitchen. A few minutes later, 182 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: Tony yelled out, Babe, I just saw Tyler. What what 183 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: do you mean, I asked, While watching TV, I saw 184 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: him walking from the corner of my eye. I wanted 185 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: to run and grab him, so I turned my head 186 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 1: in his direction, but then I couldn't see him anymore, 187 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: Tony said, and his eyes welled up with tears undeniably. 188 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: So Tyler is here. We're heading off to a break now, 189 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: but when we come back, I want to read to 190 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: you the forward that I have in the book and 191 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about signs. I also want to 192 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: share with you some nurses and some experiences of deathbed visitations. 193 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: So these are all coming up in this episode of 194 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: Shades of the Afterlife on the I Heart Radio and 195 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: Coast Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades 196 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: of the Afterlife. I'm Sanders Champlain. I was just sharing 197 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,440 Speaker 1: a chapter from the new book Gathering at the Doorway, 198 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: an Anthology of Signs of Visits and Messages from the 199 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: Afterlife by Camille Dan And like I said, it's packed 200 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: with over forty stories and different stories. And the last 201 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: story we just heard of a mom getting the signs 202 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: from her son Tyler, just reminded me to share that 203 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: signs can be very very subtle. I don't know, but 204 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,239 Speaker 1: I expect once we get over to the afterlife, we'll 205 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: see what it takes to do signs. I know there's 206 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: got to be manipulation of energy. There's probably a school 207 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: that we go to to figure it all out. Some 208 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: of our loved ones who were engaged in electronics while 209 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: on planet Earth. Maybe the young people are more apt 210 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: to work through songs on the radio and turning the 211 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: lights on and off. And do they actually manipulate electronics. 212 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: I believe they can. But also I believe they get 213 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: us to look at certain things at certain times, like 214 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: the story of the word Tyler etched in the glass 215 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: from the deli counter. Throughout this book there are tons 216 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: of pictures and that Tyler was in pretty bold print 217 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: on the glass. So as we walk through our day, 218 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: I recommend that we slow down and we pay attention. 219 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: Thoughts can be imprinted into our mind. Memories can come 220 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: out of the blue. You may get a whiff of 221 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 1: a cologne or a pipe that grandfather smoked, or your 222 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: eyes might just be directed to a license plate on 223 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: a car or a billboard that have your loved one's name. 224 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: It is possible that they're like Mom or Sandra or 225 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 1: your name. I'm right here with you, so please don't 226 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: discredit signs. It's easy to think they're part of our imagination. 227 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: I want to go ahead and read the forward that 228 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: I wrote for this book because I think I just 229 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: think it's good. Is that? But it makes sense. You'll 230 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: understand in just a second. We humans are interesting creatures. 231 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: The process of being created is miraculous when you think 232 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: about it. Our little human embryo is full of everything 233 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: we need to grow to be living, breathe, walking, and 234 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: thinking creatures. We live in self generating, self repairing bodies 235 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: that come with our own battery packs. Just add a 236 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: little food and water, and we may exist for over 237 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: eighty years or more. We live on a planet that 238 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: just happens to have everything we need for our survival. 239 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: Our son that keeps life possible. It's just one star 240 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: out of the estimated twenty billion sons that also have 241 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: planets in their solar systems, and that's just in our 242 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: Milky Way galaxy. How many galaxies are there in the universe? 243 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: Astronomers can safely say that there are at least one 244 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy billion, but most feel that number is 245 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 1: more like two trillion galaxies in an ever expanding universe. 246 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: Everything we use on a daily basis somehow originated from 247 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: the basic elements of this planet, air, water, rock, and earth. 248 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: The mobile phones we use, computers, televisions, radios are all 249 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,400 Speaker 1: able to connect through an invisible source and supply us 250 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: with never ending information and entertainment. Our lives are miraculous. 251 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,880 Speaker 1: Yet as human beings, we seem to be controlled by 252 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: our minds, which are incorrect most of the time. Although 253 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 1: our devices can connect wirelessly, our minds often doubt that 254 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: we can do the same thing. Have you ever noticed 255 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 1: your mind spends way too much time thinking about the 256 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: past and worried about the future. Have you noticed that 257 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: it never stops talking to you, judging everything you do 258 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: and who you are. Have you ever caught it saying 259 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: that you aren't good enough, smart enough. Something is wrong 260 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: with you, and something is definitely wrong with other people. 261 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: This is also the mind that wants you to doubt 262 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: the existence of the afterlife, to overlook the subtle signs 263 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 1: that have you think of a loved one who has transitioned. 264 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: Our minds try to convince us that we must see 265 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: it to believe it, when we are really miraculous beings 266 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: living in a miraculous universe. This book, Gathering at the Doorway, 267 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: an Anthology of Signs, Visits, and Messages from the Afterlife, 268 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: is full of incredible stories and experiences that show us 269 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: that death is an illusion and that we live on. 270 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: Over forty authors courageously share their experiences so that you 271 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: may believe that there is much more to life and 272 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: the afterlife than you know, and that your life is precious. 273 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: There is nothing wrong with skepticism, and it is healthy 274 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: for us to question much in our lives. However, as 275 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: you read, beware of the messages that come from your 276 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: negative mind. With twenty five years of investigating the afterlife 277 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: and witness in thousands of afterlife communications in so many ways, 278 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: I believe that the mind is necessary to have us 279 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: play this game. Called life. The game is difficult, not 280 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 1: for the weary, but full of opportunities for our souls 281 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: to experience, to learn, and to grow. It has often 282 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: said that life is about the journey, not the destination, 283 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 1: and the same holds true for this book, whether you 284 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: read it cover to cover or let your soul guide 285 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: you to a random chapter. Set aside the voice of negativity, 286 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: and remember the miracle of you. You are one of 287 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: a kind, and I believe we all came here to 288 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: learn and to experience many things. So I ask you 289 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: to be gentle on yourself. Know that you are surrounded 290 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: by love and support from the unseen world, and let 291 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,880 Speaker 1: this book be a constant reminder of who you really are, 292 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: a magnificent and divine soul having a human experience. Sander Champlain, 293 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: do I want you by the book? Kind of yeah, 294 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: I'll be honest. It's a good book, But more so 295 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: is I think we human beings need stories left to 296 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: our own devices we get trapped in that negative head. 297 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: Don't wait, even me, with all these many years, I 298 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: wake up in the morning and I don't remember. I 299 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: don't remember who I am, I don't remember how powerful 300 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: I am. And each one of us are I get 301 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: trapped by all the things that I need to do 302 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 1: or what I've should have done, and that mind constantly 303 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: tells me that I am not doing enough and that 304 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm not enough. I should eat more fruits and vegetables, 305 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:45,479 Speaker 1: I should exercise more. It's always negative. So it takes 306 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: creating one of these podcasts, or it takes reading a 307 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 1: good book, a YouTube video that might be about the afterlife, 308 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: being on a medium demonstration, or our Sunday gathering that 309 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: we have every week, getting connected with the greater reality, 310 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: seeing people get medium readings, or experiencing the divine words 311 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: that come through a trance medium. There are so many 312 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 1: different things that can bring me back to understanding them 313 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: part of a much bigger reality. And so what are 314 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: you doing? What is your practice? Now? Can I tell 315 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,959 Speaker 1: you I'm grateful that you're listening to Shades of the Afterlife? 316 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: I really am, because I try to give you what 317 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: I know and what I've experienced and what others are doing. 318 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: But what can we put into our lives on a 319 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: daily basis so that we can remember and see more often? 320 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: Right now, as I am talking to you, I'm at 321 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: my kitchen table with beautiful newly washed windows, by myself 322 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: looking out into the backyard where I have beautiful bird feeders, 323 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 1: and I'm looking at squirrels, and there's a cardinal and 324 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: pretty soon, I'm sure the turkeys will come around to 325 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 1: peck on what's left on the ground. But nature is 326 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: something that, if you can experience it one way or 327 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,479 Speaker 1: the other, gives you an opportunity to slow down and 328 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: be present everything around you, Like I had mentioned in 329 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: the foreword of that book, is a miracle when you 330 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: think about it, When you can catch your breath, take 331 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: a few deep breaths, be present to whatever is going 332 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: on in your life right now, whether it be working, 333 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: listening to the show, looking outside, and you start paying 334 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 1: attention to just the teeny tiniest things. And like I 335 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: said in that forward, isn't it mind blowing to think 336 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: absolutely everything that we're experiencing right now that we have 337 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,360 Speaker 1: all came from star stuff, all came from this earth, 338 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: and the rock and the trees and the plants and water, 339 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean everything. If our electronics can communicate in this 340 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: unseen world, why can't we. It is natural to be skeptical, 341 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 1: and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's healthy as 342 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, and I have to be honest. 343 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people out there that we should 344 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: steer clear of. There's a lot of misinformation out there. 345 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who prey on the grieving. 346 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say. I know there's mediums out there 347 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: that charge Oh I just saw one guy charges five 348 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: for a fifteen minute reading. I mean that's ridiculous. So 349 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: we need to be weary of what's out there. We 350 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: need to let things pass through our inner. I'll call 351 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: it b S detector. Pass things through your gut. Your 352 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 1: soul doesn't resonate with you. I've used this example before. 353 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 1: But if you go into a clothing store and there's 354 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of things you want to try on, and 355 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: you bring them into the dressing room, some things fit 356 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: and you want to buy them, and some things don't. 357 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: In this world of exploring the afterlife, they're going to 358 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: be things that are said that you try on, that 359 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: you want to keep, you want to take home with you, 360 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: you want to wear. There's going to be other things 361 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: that you try on and you go and not really 362 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: for me, And that goes with what I'm saying as well. 363 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: We are on different points of our journeys, some at 364 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: the very beginning and some have been exploring for quite 365 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: a long time. Wherever you are on the journey, take 366 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: what's appropriate for you and use it to empower you 367 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: in your life. Just recently, I got a beautiful email 368 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,880 Speaker 1: from a lady and she has been experimenting with electronic 369 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: voice phenomena and lo and behold, she sent me a 370 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: list of things that her partner had said through these 371 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: voices that appeared on her iPad. Pretty extraordinary. So, wherever 372 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: you are on your journey, don't fret. You're just at 373 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: the perfect part, the perfect point, and you're not alone. 374 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: Just stay open, stay aware, stay present, and you never 375 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: know what's possible. You may have heard this before, but 376 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: the word impossible, you know how often we'll use that. Well, 377 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: let's look at it. I'm possible I can connect with 378 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: my loved ones. We'll be right back. You're listening to 379 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: Shades of the Afterlife on the I Heart Radio and 380 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: Coast Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades 381 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 1: the Afterlife. I'm Sander Champlain and we're gonna shift gears 382 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: just a little bit. I usually find myself on YouTube 383 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: finding one thing or the other. And I know YouTube 384 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: records what I watch and so recommended things come up. 385 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,919 Speaker 1: I saw a video from a nurse talking about working 386 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: in hospice and her story about bedside visitations. And if 387 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: you're new to the show or unfamiliar, if you talk 388 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: to any hospice worker, mostly nurses and some doctors, they 389 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: can share with you that they believe in the afterlife. 390 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: They have witnessed over and over and over again. Just 391 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: before someone passes, they look up and they can see 392 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: their deceased spouse or their mom, their dad, perhaps an angel, 393 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: someone is there to greet them. They are clear, lucid, 394 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 1: not fantasies, and they're very very real to the people, 395 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: which make me feel and know that no one dies alone, 396 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: whether people are alert or not, we are all greeted 397 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,359 Speaker 1: by loved ones who help us across the vale. I'd 398 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: like to play for you now the clip from nurse Hadley, 399 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 1: and she titles it from Skeptics to Believer, a hospice 400 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: nurses story and she's got lots of stories if you 401 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: go to her YouTube channel, which is Hadley Christine. I've 402 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 1: been a nurse for about six years, and four of 403 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: his years i've worked in hospice, which is care for 404 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 1: people who are dying. So I've seen a lot of 405 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 1: death and I'm not scared of it anymore, and I 406 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: love to share my patient stories with you. When I 407 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: first started out as a registered nurse, I took a 408 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: job in offs but ill like many people do, and 409 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: it's it's really hard. There's a lot of abuse in 410 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: a glade that you see for patients. As nurses, you're 411 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: abused a lot of the line, and no one wants 412 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 1: to be there. It's a hospital. You don't want to 413 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: be there, so it's very mentally draining and very depressing. 414 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: After I did a year in the hospital, I took 415 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: a job as a manager in a nursing home, which 416 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: is where I met my husband, he's a physical therapist. 417 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: But that's also where I was exposed to hospice for 418 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: the first time. I loved how the nurses got to 419 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: be one on moment the families, and I found myself 420 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: extremely drawn to them. The whole process of it was 421 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: so interesting to me, so when a job opened up 422 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: with the local hospice company, I took it. I was 423 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 1: raised as a Christian. I went to a private Christian 424 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: school for much of my life, and I considered myself 425 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: to be a Christian. But in the back of my 426 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: mind when I took that job, I questioned it. I wondered, 427 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: is there not for life? Do things just go black 428 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: whenever you die? But now that I've been in hospice 429 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: for four years, my view is completely changed. And here's 430 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 1: some of those stories. So my very first hospice patient 431 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: was a lady in her seventies. She had bone cancer, 432 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: and she was not confused at all. She was totally 433 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: with it. And one day I'm sitting by her bed, 434 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: just starting on my little computer and she turns to 435 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: me and she said, my sister is sitting in the 436 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: chair next to you. And I look over and no 437 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: one's there, and I said okay. She said she died 438 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, and I said okay. And she said, 439 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,239 Speaker 1: do you believe me? And I said yes. But in 440 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: the back of my mind I wondered if maybe her 441 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: kidneys were failing, which would cause some hallucinations or some 442 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,719 Speaker 1: confusion possibly. And she said, please don't tell my family, 443 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: because they're going to think that I'm crazy. And I 444 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: said okay. And she said, I think I'm going to 445 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: be dying soon and I said, you know, you're really 446 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: not showing any signs. Your blood pressure's okay, everything's okay, 447 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: you know everything's going as normal, um below and behold 448 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,480 Speaker 1: she did. She passed a couple of days later, very peacefully. 449 00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: I had another patient who is very near to my heart. 450 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: I saw her every Tuesday and every Thursday for six months. 451 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: She was ninety eight years old, very spunky, and very 452 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: vocal about being ready to die. Her husband had passed 453 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: away pretty early on in the war, and all of 454 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: her friends had died, and she would talk to anyone 455 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: and everyone about how she was ready to meet her maker, 456 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: which was her words. She was Catholic, she was very religious. 457 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: So one night she had cop D and she had 458 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: a cop D exacerbation, which means that it was very 459 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: very hard for her to breathe. So I was there. 460 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: I was able to get it under control, and afterwards 461 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: she told me, I thought that that's how I was 462 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: going to die. And I was very scared. And I said, 463 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, what were you scared of? And she said, 464 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: I'm a Christian, but I just I was scared. You know, 465 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,960 Speaker 1: maybe maybe it does just all go dark. And I said, 466 00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: I understand that. I get that. So couple of weeks later, 467 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: she started to decline and she was sleeping a lot, 468 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: and she was only awake a couple of hours a day, 469 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: and I was drawing up some medications for her, and 470 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: I saw that she was looking at me, and so 471 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: I said hey, and she said, I I'm going to 472 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: pass tonight. And I said I don't think so. I 473 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 1: think you've got a couple more weeks. And she said no, 474 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to And I said, are you scared and 475 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: she said no, my husband's here to get me. I 476 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: said he is, and she said he's watching us right 477 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: now and it's going to be tonight. And I told 478 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: her okay, And I've told her I loved her, because 479 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: I did very much, and I doubted it. I thought 480 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,479 Speaker 1: it would be another week. But at three am that morning, 481 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 1: I woke up randomly and I knew she was gone. 482 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: I just had a feeling. And the next morning, when 483 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: I got report from the night Schiffner, she said that 484 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 1: she had passed around two thirty am and it was 485 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: very peaceful in her sleep. These stories are just two 486 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: of literally hundreds of people who have the exact same experience, 487 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: exact same story. I no longer doubt at all that 488 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 1: there's an afterlife. People have that exact same experience of 489 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 1: family members coming to get them. Doesn't matter what religious 490 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: background they are, their race, their economics, anything, they all 491 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: have that same experience. I share this on my TikTok 492 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: and I'm excited to keep sharing this on my YouTube. Now. 493 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: If you subscribe, I cannot wait to keep doing this, 494 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 1: and leave me a comment and let me know what 495 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: you think. Nurse Hadley Christine is a beautiful gal and 496 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: her channel is very very sweet. And what she's doing 497 00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: recently is she's finding out the favorite meals of her 498 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 1: hospice patients, and so one gentleman loved rice and beans. 499 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,280 Speaker 1: So as she's telling you the story of when he 500 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: passed and what happened, she's also cooking rice and beans 501 00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: in his honor. So I find it very sweet. I'm 502 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: not going to play one of those for you because 503 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: you can hear the pots and pants in the background. 504 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: But one of the things she said is leave a comment. 505 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: Here's a little trick for you. Whether you're interested in 506 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: deathbed visitations, hospice nurses, stories of the afterlife, near death experiences, 507 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:33,360 Speaker 1: type those things into YouTube. Not only can you find 508 00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: some really great stories. But I recommend you look in 509 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: the comments because people who may never tell their story 510 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: anywhere else, they comment about what has happened in their life. 511 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: So I want to share with you just some of 512 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,440 Speaker 1: the comments under this video. This gentleman says, the moment 513 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 1: my wife left me, her eyes lit up from the inside, 514 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: glowing a blue surpass, saying all I had seen before 515 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: and that is the moment when I stopped being a 516 00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: total atheist, because she caught my gaze for the final 517 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 1: time and she smiled. This gentleman said a woman had 518 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: terminal cancer, couldn't walk and needed help feeding herself. In 519 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: the wee hours of the morning, she partially sat up, 520 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: waving her arms around and saying wow, Wow, Wow. Her 521 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: husband woke up and asked what was wrong. She said, look, 522 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,479 Speaker 1: look at all these angels. They are so beautiful. Don't 523 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: you see them. They're everywhere and they're so beautiful. Just 524 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: look at that moment. She laid back and lifted her 525 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,799 Speaker 1: hand like trying to take something, and she passed away. 526 00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: My friend said he knew for certain that she was 527 00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,320 Speaker 1: with her Lord and savior in heaven. Here's another Before 528 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,399 Speaker 1: mom died, I asked her to flash the living room 529 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 1: lights when she passed on to let me know she 530 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: was okay. She promised she would. Mom was very religious, 531 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 1: so I knew she be heading to heaven warp speed. 532 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: Not only did the lights flash the living room, but 533 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: so much in the bedroom. I had to take the 534 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: bulb out. I said, okay, Mom, I get you're okay, 535 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: and they never flashed again. Here's another. When my grandmother 536 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: passed away. The day before she died, she told my aunt, 537 00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: I have to go. Norah is here. Norah was my mom, 538 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:29,080 Speaker 1: who had passed ten years prior. She passed at nine 539 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:34,720 Speaker 1: two PM. My mom passed on nine two Here's another. 540 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 1: Before my mom passed from cancer, she was in a 541 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,759 Speaker 1: rehab facility since she'd had her surgery. I went to 542 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: go see her and her eyes were closed, but she 543 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: was upset. She would be heard saying her sister's name 544 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: and seemed very confused. The night my mom had surgery, 545 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: her sister was in a fatal car accident, and we 546 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: never told Mom since they were very close. She was 547 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: talking to her sister, not realizing that she had passed. 548 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: Life doesn't end. Here's another. I lost my son to cancer. 549 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: Sixteen years ago, when he was thirty. I sat with 550 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: him all day and listened to him arguing with someone. 551 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: It took me a while, but I finally realized he 552 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: was talking to his grandfather, who passed away when my 553 00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: son was five. And another, my stepfather was dying of 554 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,360 Speaker 1: cancer the last week of his life. He kept asking 555 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: is it Wednesday? Yet he passed away the following Wednesday 556 00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: at one am. I find comfort in hearing these stories. 557 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: Here's another. I worked as a hospice nurse too, and 558 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: saw a lot of things. Another nurse and I were 559 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: helping the sweetest lady get washed and dressed for the day. 560 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: She was sitting at the sink in her wheelchair brushing 561 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: her teeth, when suddenly she looked up and said, Oh, 562 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: it's so nice to see you again. She slumped forward 563 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: in her chair and died. I am not a skeptic. 564 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: Here's another. My grandmother passed in our home her last days. 565 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,319 Speaker 1: She was in a coma, no response to anything. I 566 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 1: heard her breathing funny one evening and told my mom. 567 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 1: They realized she was passing and asked if I could 568 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: be in the room at the last moment of her life. 569 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: She seemed to wake up, opened her eyes, looked at 570 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 1: us and said bye bye, and then reached her hand 571 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: up in the air like someone was reaching for her hand, 572 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: who had come to get her? And then she died. 573 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: And one more My mom passed away fifteen years ago. 574 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: She was in a nursing home and was declining. A 575 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: day before she passed, I walked into her room and 576 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,960 Speaker 1: she told me, look, Uncle Bill and Aunt Mary are 577 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:39,840 Speaker 1: standing right there in the corner. I said, oh wow, 578 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: that's really nice. I totally believed her that they were 579 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 1: there to help her go to her heavenly home. She 580 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 1: passed away that evening.

So 609 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: do not be afraid to acknowledge any of your feelings. 610 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:09,279 Speaker 1: They are normal. You're going to go through that, You're 611 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 1: going to grieve for yourself. You're going to grieve for 612 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 1: letting go and leaving others that you love. That is 613 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: going to be absolutely normal. On top of that, you 614 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: want to add you want to make sure you really 615 00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: affirm and let go of your fears of dying, your 616 00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: fears about what happens.

Souls 618 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: do not need to experience the actual dying process. It's 619 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: why others will look at you and they'll say, oh, 620 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 1: my gosh, she doesn't even look like she's there anymore. 621 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 1: Her body just looks like a shell.

Do not be afraid of seeing loved 625 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: ones now, guides, angels. You're not imagining anything. If you 626 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:24,000 Speaker 1: happen to see anybody. When you start reminiscing about your home, 627 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:30,399 Speaker 1: your childhood, that is basically their way of reconnecting with you, 628 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: so that you can trust when the time comes, acknowledge everything. 629 00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,360 Speaker 1: The most important thing is, don't be afraid to talk. 630 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,840 Speaker 1: Do not be afraid to talk and if there's somebody 631 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 1: around you that cannot talk with you about what you're feeling, 632 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 1: find somebody who is. There is always somebody. If you 633 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: are on hospice, are you assuring you the chaplin, the 634 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 1: social worker, they are definitely willing to talk with you 635 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: and allow you to speak. Don't hide your feelings. Embrace everything. 636 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:10,479 Speaker 1: Embrace the process. We put these labels on in our 637 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 1: life to be able to understand it and cope with 638 00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:17,800 Speaker 1: it a little bit better. But embrace the fact that 639 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:23,359 Speaker 1: leaving the body is actually still part of life. How 640 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: many times have you gotten a new car in your life? 641 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: I hope you don't say no. I over only had 642 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: one car in my entire life. I can assure you 643 00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 1: that you've had more than one car, right, So you've 644 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,919 Speaker 1: had more than one vehicle to get through life. This 645 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: body is only one vehicle that you are using, and 646 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: you are more than that vehicle. And as you embrace 647 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: that idea and concept, you will get validation your dreams, 648 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:59,240 Speaker 1: your visions, your feelings. Over a sudden, you may feel 649 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: a peace about you. It's like, Wow, I'm just all 650 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,359 Speaker 1: of a sudden feeling so peaceful about things, and I 651 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 1: have no idea why. It's what happens. When you embrace, 652 00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: you will get validation that life continues. Look, we yeah, 653 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,400 Speaker 1: can we have our doubts and fears, especially at the end. 654 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:20,879 Speaker 1: And it's so easy for me to speak because I'm 655 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 1: not facing that right now. I am not facing my mortality. 656 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,839 Speaker 1: I did at one point, I had a heart attack, um, 657 00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:31,480 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. Though it wasn't as disaster. 658 00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,359 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, they didn't even feel like anything. Um. 659 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: I know. They told me I had a blockage. They 660 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,400 Speaker 1: put in a stemp, and I was like, oh, so 661 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 1: you're telling me I could have died, and they're saying, yeah, absolutely, 662 00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,880 Speaker 1: weird supplies. She didn't. I didn't even have any damage 663 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:52,759 Speaker 1: to my heart. I wasn't afraid really truly. Okay. And 664 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,279 Speaker 1: the more you recognize the beauty of life and that 665 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,000 Speaker 1: there's more than you begin to lose of fear. And 666 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: let your prayers be about giving you the strength and 667 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: the in your beliefs and your convictions. Let me remind 668 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,440 Speaker 1: me how faithful I am. God. I believe in you, 669 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 1: I believe that there is life afterwards. Remind me of that, 670 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 1: give me the strength to believe in that even more so. 671 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 1: Give me the validation. Hey, come about and start talking 672 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:28,439 Speaker 1: with me. To talk with you. Don't be afraid as 673 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: best as you can of dying. Enjoy the life that 674 00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: you had. Stop reproaching yourself of anything you didn't do. Yes, 675 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:43,960 Speaker 1: acknowledge your normal feelings throughout this entire process, the good 676 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: ones as well as the negative ones. Just allow yourself 677 00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,160 Speaker 1: to feel okay and go with the flow as much 678 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:58,240 Speaker 1: as possible. I'm actually foreseeing it being a peaceful passing 679 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,440 Speaker 1: when the time comes. There's still some people for you 680 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:05,560 Speaker 1: to talk with. Um, you don't mind, I'm just jumping 681 00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: in all of this, Okay. I definitely feel that there's 682 00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: people that you need to talk with still and release 683 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,799 Speaker 1: everything out of your heart. What you want to do 684 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 1: now is clear out your heart. That's what I'm talking about. 685 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 1: Clear it out of negative feelings, cleared out of fears, 686 00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 1: clear it out of angers, clear it out of anything 687 00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: other than love, and fill it with love. Fill it 688 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: with joy. I don't care who you are and how 689 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 1: old you are. There have had to be some joyous 690 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 1: moments in your life. Think about those joyous moments, recreate them, 691 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,560 Speaker 1: and that is the best type of stuff that you 692 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: can do. At this point in your life right now, 693 00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 1: those words hit me very powerfully. We will all face 694 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,560 Speaker 1: that mo ment. And on our Sunday gathering, I gave 695 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: the address and I posed to our community, what would 696 00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 1: it be like to create in your own mind your 697 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 1: own death experience? And if we were to take some 698 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:21,440 Speaker 1: time now while we're alive to actually practice what our 699 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,359 Speaker 1: final moments will be, complete with the people helping us 700 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 1: across the vale and who we're going to see, and 701 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,400 Speaker 1: the joy we're going to experience. To be able to 702 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:36,360 Speaker 1: create that in our mind now and practice it, then 703 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,439 Speaker 1: I think we may not have that fear when our 704 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: time comes, and when we're with loved ones that are passing, 705 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 1: we will be strong and be there for them because 706 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: we know what's about to happen. So if you're up 707 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,480 Speaker 1: for this is to imagine that perhaps you're lying in 708 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:02,360 Speaker 1: your bed, perhaps you're with hospice, because whether you have 709 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,880 Speaker 1: home hospice or you're actually in a facility, that's the 710 00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: way I want to go around the most loving, caring, 711 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,799 Speaker 1: compassionate people in the world. But if you can imagine 712 00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:16,120 Speaker 1: they're got a hospice worker or a loved one holding 713 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 1: your hand, imagine you take those last few breaths, and 714 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: as you look back upon your life, you're thinking about 715 00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,920 Speaker 1: loving memories and the love you feel. And then just 716 00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: imagine who would be coming for you for me, be 717 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: my dad and my grandmother and maybe my kittie Millie 718 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: jumping right up there on the bed with me. And 719 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 1: imagine you take that last breath seeing a very very 720 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:49,279 Speaker 1: bright light, being flooded with the feeling of love like 721 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:54,400 Speaker 1: you've never felt before. And as this bright light seems 722 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:59,720 Speaker 1: to dim just a little bit, you are seeing into 723 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:04,480 Speaker 1: the year after. You're seeing loads of people who have 724 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: gone before you with big smiles and their arms are 725 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:11,319 Speaker 1: reaching straight out to you. The pets that you've had 726 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 1: before are all right there. It's beautiful summer's day. It's 727 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: a world that looks familiar but slightly different. There are 728 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:24,560 Speaker 1: colors that you have never seen before. There's beautiful sounds, 729 00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 1: and this feeling of love is so very strong. You 730 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: take some time and you hug all the people that 731 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 1: have gone before you, and you realize that death is 732 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 1: an illusion, and you get an opportunity to look back 733 00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,080 Speaker 1: upon your life, not a judgment, but looking to see 734 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:50,760 Speaker 1: how well you experienced obstacles and difficulties, how many times 735 00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 1: you've made a difference in the lives of others. You 736 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,200 Speaker 1: get to see times that you wish you had done something, 737 00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:59,440 Speaker 1: maybe a little differently, but you get to see the 738 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 1: learning that you experienced. And like looking at a television screen, 739 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,359 Speaker 1: you get to see the people on Earth. You get 740 00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 1: to see the people that are left behind, but of 741 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:14,359 Speaker 1: course they're not really behind, because they still exist. And 742 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,359 Speaker 1: you know you'll do everything you can to let them 743 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,920 Speaker 1: know that you're still alive and well. And you can 744 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: take as much time as you want in this process 745 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:28,960 Speaker 1: and explore whatever you want to, and when you're ready, 746 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:32,840 Speaker 1: you can remember that you're still on earth and you 747 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 1: have created this. But the more we can practice having 748 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 1: these experiences for ourselves before we go, it will help 749 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,840 Speaker 1: us live a powerful life. It will help us realize 750 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,239 Speaker 1: the conversations we still need to have with people, or 751 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 1: the things we may need to do. Our life continues 752 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 1: in the afterlife, and we can do so much more. 753 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,840 Speaker 1: So with that, I want to remind you that to 754 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:04,640 Speaker 1: day we heard some words from Hadley Christine.
