It's the personal stories that are most meaningful. This was beautiful to read. As long and difficult as it was, you were able to appreciate the gifts within the experience and share in your mother's mystical encounters. What a blessing! The musical bells were undoubtedly a real phenomenon. An inexplicable mystery and a gift of grace.
When my mother died in 1984 I considered myself an atheist, having rejected religion wholesale and so her passing was traumatic. 13 years later my husband (48yo) was diagnosed with terminal cancer for which there was no treatment. He took up meditation and I joined him for moral support. I had a visitation from my mother in one meditation and in another a profound vision of Jesus accompanied by an experience of light and an energy surge which altogether rocked my world. My husband was also atheist and so regrettably I never shared these things with him. After his death in 1997 I came across the phenomenon of near-death experiences and have been tracking them ever since. Hence subscribing to Coming Home. Thank you for your contribution to the transformation of the way death is perceived in our culture. It is important and valuable work and I have no doubt your mother would be having her input from where she is.
Thank you for this Gloria, and for sharing your experience with your husband and your own spiritual experiences. It's remarkable how NDEs and stories like these that you have shared, can strengthen our faith and help us navigate this world.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story, Jesse.
It's beautiful, because it is real.
Because it gives hope.
And because it is love.
I'm just very thankful that now people begin to open about their spiritual experiences, so others are encouraged to follow their example. To my mind, in the US this community is a bit stronger.
Here in Europe we are partly still in the post- enlightenment mindset, in which we are more reluctant to accept phenomena, whose existence we cannot scientifically prove. (Given European history, maybe that's understandable.)
So, thank you for giving us a window into this world of beauty, love and Zuversicht.
('Zuversicht' is a word in German that's stronger than hope.)
I just learned that a dear aunt of mine died today. Thanks to people like you, I know she is home now and I will see her again. I have no words to express how different this is making me feel.
