What happens when we die?

[JemBob]

I mean I dont know I have mixed feeling....
Do we just die and end off nothing happens

Go to heaven or hell?

Do we wander this planet as other life forms?

I dont know whats going to happen but it freaks me out sometimes just thinking about it!

I mean what happens? Death scares me abit cause its just like you stop excisting thats it....

Do we meet up with all our family once they pass away???

Would love to hear what you guys think!

I really think it comes down to what we believe in. No one knows for sure what happens after we leave this world. I take comfort in thinking that I will meet up with my loved ones again both animal and human in the 'next' and better life

[JemBob]

thats a good point fran just scares me thats all one minute your here the next your not so strange!

About 10yrs ago, I had a scare. I had open heart surgery as a baby of 21mths, and scar tissue around the patches caused an "electric disturbance" I was on the field with the dogs, they were running the electric lure at the time, my chest went tight, no pain though and my heart started racing. After about an hour, I called an ambulance (hoped it would pass) the meds to kick it back into rhythm didnt work, so they had to shock the heart to stop it, then do the same to restart it in a normal rhythm. It stopped ok but wouldnt start for over 70 seconds and 4 attempts. In that time I can distinctly remember black, dark, no sound, but peaceful, calm feeling, the next thing I remember was a doctor saying "welcome back, you had us worried for a while" I answered "Glad to be back, its too quiet up there" I have no idea why I said that, but the doctors said many people who's heart stops beating for some time, recollect the same, spooky eh!!

I must admit I've never really believed in an afterlife, although we did live in a house that seemed to be "Haunted", It was the spare bedroom . the dog didn't like going in there and both my Mum and my OHs sister and her hubby asked if it was haunted, of course I said No !! I once went in at night and 'froze' I've never been so cold in my life and my hair seemed to stand on end, and sometimes at night I would hear footfalls along the passage - I got so fed up I used to call out "Go away" and the steps went away again.

On a more practical note the atoms of which each one of us is composed do not disappear, just get recycled into something else, so I suppose, in theory, you could come back as a bit of a cat. Logoes

I work in a nursing home, so basically I help people to die comfortably and with dignity. Through this I have seen far too much death but I have also seen far too much Afterlife.

I do believe there is something there after death. Physics says so. Physics tells us that energy cannot be lost - only transferred. So when we die, all the electricity in our boddies, that makes up nerve impluses and our memory cannot just dissapear - it has to go somewhere, and I feel that that energy becomes "the spirit".

To quote a good line " I see dead people" but not just people. I see past pets. My cat that died 2 weeks ago has been hanging around the house, so has the cat that died in november. My other cats seem to feel their presence too, and so do the dogs. Unexplained gaps around food bowls, on window sills etc.

But I have a resident. A little girl. I know her name began with an E, but other than that I know nothing about her. She has blond curly hair, and wears a knee length dress, and she happens to be my jack russels best friend.
She appeared about 2 days after we moved in, sat on the stairs. She plays ball with Leo and will sit on the stairs with him. I find her very comfortable to have around even if she does get up to tricks like moving things and switching things on and off. But at least she responds when I tell her off.

When we dead we dead as far as I am concerned. Dont believe in all that afterlife, come back as another form, ghosts, etc etc.

All a load of rubbish made up by and to comfort those who are scared of death.

I dont agree. At one point I possibly would but not now. My Dad died, he was a non beleiver. When you were dead you were dead acording to him.
Well I have had advise from him through a spiritualist. He did say he was surprised as he thought once you died that was it. She told me lots of things from him that there was no way anyone and I mean anyone could have known.
When we left the house to go to his funeral a really weird thing happened. The minister was standing at the door and before my eyes he transformed and took my dads shape and face. Only for a few seconds. I never told anyone about it. My dad told me that was his way of letting me know he would always be with me.
Loads of other stuff has happened to me, Yes I do beleive there is "something" after we die.
Someone said. This life is hell, it's a lead up to a better life. Dont know if it's true but worth a thought I think.

I believe that we go on. I don't know where but that's what I believe. I love the poem Autumns Rain. Very comforting.

I deffo think there is "More than this" i've been brought up surrounding a lot of 'spiritulists' and medians in the family-so have seen more than my fair share of stuff to concern me....had an experience myself once, on the operating table...i could see everything going on below me, including my body, and i felt this 'drawing' feeling of warmth-just spreading over me, and i could feel myself moving-then next thing i remember was waking up back on the ward with the tea trolley lady passing my bed. Had a few similar things along the way-so i believe there is merely something more than we can ever understand-and IMO those non-believers don't believe as it isn't in the nature of most of mankind to believe in more than what we see!
