the question about whether someone will be there to meet you when you die

“I've got a lot of grand dogs that went before me, and it's just so nice to know that when I pass, they'll be waiting for me.”31:11

“Yeah. I had a man who died who, the first thing he saw was his dog that he'd lost three months before, that he dearly loved, waiting for him on the other side.”17:01

“Exactly. I was thinking, where's my dead dog? I want to see my dog. My my dog's supposed to be greeting me, right? Where's my great-grandmother? I always wanted to meet her. I don't know why I've never met the woman. I always wanted to meet my great-grandmother. Where is she?”10:44

“You will see your deceased loved ones on the other side, and you will also see your pets, which is great to know because for a lot of us, our pets are some of the only ways that we have received unconditional love, so they are going to be there greeting you and barking and just so glad to reunite with you.”31:31

“still connected to us. My grandma was right there. She was ready for me before I ever even knew I was going to need her, right? Our pets make it to heaven. So many people have beloved animals and they worry about them. And maybe some religions teach that they don't go to heaven. They do. They're right there to greet you when you go. I learned that love is eternal. I learned that time is a human illusion. It we need it on planet Earth, but it doesn't exist in other places. Um, I learned about life”12:22

“Yeah, just somebody to, to comfort me and somebody to greet you if you're going to cross over to the other side. No one really knows the hour of your death, only, only God himself knows, but they always have somebody standing by just in case, and in this case, it was her because if you would have been my grandmother then, I probably would have went severe shock because there had to be somebody you know and trusted, but somebody you didn't know right away, I took it at that.”6:37

“met when either one of us was alive. We all had  a great time. I met some Vietnam War veterans, and they told me really interesting stories of  their time away from home. At the end of my visit, I met a little girl with beautiful blue eyes and  light blonde hair. She was precious! After I met her, God said, "It is time for you to go back.  I promise you will be back soon. I'll watch over you. That is a promise." I wasn't happy. I said,  'But – but, why? I don't want to go yet, please.' God looked straight through me and said, "I am  answering your grandmother's prayers." At that”6:37

“And I really looked over there. It was like being outside my body in this experience, and I looked into the afterlife, and I saw many, many people who were ready to welcome me. But I also knew that I could decide for myself whether to go over there or not. I would have been incredibly happy to leave. I was so happy to know, "Well, now finally the time has come. Now I can leave." And yet, I looked back and saw my dear, loyal companion, my dog. It was still very early in the morning, and he hadn't had his breakfast yet, nor had he been outside, and my husband was due to come back from a trip only late in the evening. So this poor dog would have been waiting for nearly 13 hours next to a corpse.”25:15

“grandmother, my dog that died. I thought they would be there for me. And I'm not upset, but I'm curious. I'm just thinking, wow, where is everybody? like, "Aren't isn't there supposed to be a welcome or something?" Right? And as I'm exploring this place, I turn around and I see someone. Now, this person, as I see them, it feels like my chest is being broken open. Literally, it's painful. It's an ecstatic pain. I don't know if we humans have ever really truly can feel that. On the other side though,”67:22

“That patient is convinced, however, that his dog will be there waiting for him when he finally does cross over. In an early interview on NDE Radio, um, Cherie Lee Black describes her fascinating NDE, uh, in which she saw her deceased dog, which she described beautifully, I thought, as spirit manifesting itself as dog, uh, playing and happily running around in a garden below a balcony where she sat with her grandmother, uh, talking until her grandmother told her she had Treturn to her body. That dog, by the way, had died in the accident with Cherie.”4:38

“And so there I am on the other side, feeling that love, bliss, being really curious where everybody is because I have this consciousness that my, where's my dead dog and my great-grandmother and my ancestors? They're supposed to greet me on the other side. In my mind, that's what I thought was supposed to happen, you know, the Pearly Gates or whatever, somebody was supposed to say hi.”15:27

“the experience with the omnipresence I'm also um very much a believer that when we do pass on the people that greet us some of those people that greet us are actually living. So if you if you think that say you know I when I do eventually go I'm not just going to see the people who've passed on before me I'm also going to see people who are still alive who are there to greet me. So I think that maybe is it's more comforting for me to uh to know that because um you often have this question well I I”53:49

“there no matter what you do. They're going to be there. And I promise you, your pets are in heaven and they're taken care of. And they'll be waiting for you. That's who will pick you up when your time's to pass. Your dog will be there to pick you up, your cat, whatever you love. And they're bound to you forever. And even when it gets down to the time, I I just want to get this in. When the time for they they're going to die and you know they're hurting and you know there's something wrong and you can't fix them. when they can't be what”22:33

“But where I was, I felt as if I had my grandma. She was there by my side and she was taking care of me. Even there in the hospital, she was making sure I was okay. A real understanding that we're never alone when we pass over, and I know as a psychic medium now that you'll never alone when you pass over. There's always a loved one on the other side, and I can confirm that because of what I'd experienced then.”15:48

“it was just so awesome to see my dog. And there was something very mystically special about seeing her. People forget, well, we forget this about our loved ones, too. Every every remembrance we have of someone we've loved when we cross over is a beautiful reunion. So, even with our animals, it's just a beautiful reunion. In terms of seeing other beings, mostly not in this experience, except there were others. I guess the way to put it, there were no other main characters in this experience. I saw members of my family”20:52

“As he did, I looked down and there was my dog Lucky. He died when I was very young, and he was there. Of course, now, if I was to go to the same place, my German Shepherd would be there too. I'm looking forward to seeing Razzy again. All of this sounds crazy, doesn't it? I didn't have any sense of time. I don't know how long it was, but we continued to talk about everything.”3:35
