RE: My friend is gone 😭

I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your friend. She sounds like a dear person who will be greatly missed by her family and friends.

I remember when I first learned about death as a young boy. My sister used a very memorable way to explain it to me. She said: "Death is when you go to sleep and never wake up." For some reason, that clicked in the young mind of mine and made it very real to me.

Years later, I began reading about what was called Near Death Experiences. This was started by a book called Life After Life by Raymond Moody. That, and many other books and websites describe accounts of people who died and shared what they saw when they came back to life.

I can say this; I absolutely believe we exist after death. There have been many reports from doctors and nurses of people dying then returning and describing conversations and events that occured in other parts of the hospital that they could not have possibly known of unless they'd seen it themselves.

I have an aunt and uncle who have told me similar stories as well about patients in their care. I remain convinced that we exist after death and that your friend is somewhere in a state free from pain and disease. I wish her peace.
