    When she mentioned a favorite song I almost smiled. I remember sitting in my dad's old truck (he died a little over a year ago) smoking and zoning out completely. He used to smoke in there all the time, so I indulge myself sitting there doing the same. I have my music on shuffle all the time, and while I was sitting there just thinking about him a song my mom shared that reminded her of him started to play. At the time I remember being happy, even if later I told myself it was mere coincidence. I never got to see him when he died, I always wondered if he thought I hated him.

    Breathtaking... a beautiful talk. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope to be honored one day to have a "midwife" after a full and happy midlife,😉 next to my bedside, as I crossover. I've had my own NDE and saw the other side and got to make a choice to come back. Death is far more beautiful than we realize. If we all were given a quick peak, no one would fear death. We would be throwing "reveal parties" with more of a bon voyage vibe to it and be excited because death isn't the ending we think it is... in so many ways it's another beginning and a welcome back home...beyond our wildest of wildest imaginations, could ever muster up. I wish everyone were able to see. Don't get me wrong. I respect death and don't make light of it. But cmon... it's a club we ALL have a ticket to. And after we die, we are closer than ever to those we were closest too. I used to think heaven was this place far far away. Death and life are in the same puzzle. And if you are still reading... you and I are connected and far more alike than any differences we think we may have. Life is a crazy ride but as she tells... in the end, what really matters is how we love and kindness and compassion matter. And forgiveness is a gift of epic proportion both to the giver and receiver. Much love and light 🦋🙏🦋

      Wow, Dana, you totally understand everything I try to impart about life, dying, and death when I give presentations. Stories like yours are so important to share and help others reduce their own fears of dying and death. THANK YOU for sharing. Just like you, all my patients who reported having a prior near-death experience did not fear death in the least. This is a beautiful testament to our connectedness, likenesses, and the unending love that surrounds and awaits all of us. As you wish, I hope you will have a wonderful "midwife" by your side when your time comes. I would like to mail you a complimentary copy of my book Stepping-Stones (use the title to find my website, for some reason I can't post it here), and send me a message. Be well and, thank you again.

    Everyone dies, but we have to believe who created us first? and what was created for us? When we die, where does the soul leave? You see, only the body remains if you are muslim you know the answer if you are not muslim please learn about muslim religion
