Such a tough question to answer in one way; so easy in another. It all depends on what mood I am in and whether anything has happened that day to make me doubt more than usual. more

    My brother died when I was 17. He was 7. He'd battled with cancer since the week before his 3rd birthday. We saved up and bought him a postman pat mug and plate. He wasn't allowed them in his isolation unit at the hospital, but loved them once he got back home. He always found something to giggle over, and his smile would crack the face of the heavens open with light and joy and brightness. He died at home, in his wee makeshift bed in mum and dad's room. Cosy, warm, with mum and dad holding him. When we went in the next morning, he looked just like he was sleeping. We said so. Very pale and ... more

    Advantages Advantages Life goes on

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Maybe there's no end

    I don't know what happens when we die, but I'm 100% sure that we don't just turn to worm food. There is much more to us than just a body. The body, our vessel goes back to the earth, this we know. But the Spirit, ghost, energy whatever you want to think of it as…that must go somewhere. My Mother is traditionally known as 'crazy' because she has always claimed to be able to see and talk to spirits, she strongly believes in angels and has out of body experiences. Her first was quite accidental. She was exhausted from an illness and was lying on her bed at home, not quite sleeping because my ... more

    5 Stars Choose life - it's entirely up to you Review with images 02/11/2007

    Advantages Advantages It's up to everyone to decide for themselves, no compulsion

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Consequences

    = INTRODUCTION = I believe that there is life after death, and that the way in which we will all experience that life is entirely a matter of our free will and conscious decision here. I am not one of those who puts their faith in science to provide all the answers, who believe that science can explain everything, only it just hasn't got there yet. Science is very good at explaining the what's and the how's, but it is not suited to explaining the why's. There is something in the human make-up that is more than the mechanical, the sum of myriad chemical reactions. Why do we appreciate beauty ... more

    Advantages Advantages Feel better for putting my feelings in writing

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Brings back tears

    I don’t think I either believed or disbelieved in life after death but now I am not so sure. After my dad died (10 years ago) my mam often said that he was still with her, she could hear the clothes hangars in her wardrobe move along the rail and sometimes she could feel him next to her in bed. There were lots of little things that happened that my mam was adamant happened because of my dad. I used to say that it was her imagination. Then on New Year’s Eve 2004 my mam saw a blue ball float over her half open bedroom door and float across the room and land on top of her wardrobe. She knew it ... more

    Advantages Advantages I need to believe

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I'm afraid not to

    A year ago, I would have empathetically said yes, life goes on after death, many things happened in my childhood that I could not have put down to mere co-incidences. Over time, my beliefs have been questioned over and over again, leading always to the same conclusion. Today is the 1st anniversary of my mother’s death, mostly spent crying on my own and thinking back, but I am left without comfort. I need to explore this in stages. My Childhood. My mother was very physic and a practising medium at the Spiritualist church, only giving up when she was eight months pregnant with me. In later years ... more
