Will someone be there to meet me, or could I die completely alone?

“After the introductions and all settled down, I spent some time chatting with Grandma and Grandpa, my living grandmother's parents. They both said that someone very special was coming to greet me. I don't remember if they mentioned who it was.”10:04

“So you can be in the tunnel with others whom we love, and they can be four-footed or winged or fend. Another common element, not me. I didn't have any deceased loved ones. All of my grandparents were alive, all my cousins and parents and whatever. I had no one to greet me. But God darn, but lots and lots of people meet loved ones or spiritual beings. There is that light.”44:02

“Um, I was really close to my grandparents growing up. They lived a couple walks away from me, and so I spent a lot of time with them. And so it makes complete sense to me that she was there with me to protect me and comfort me, just be with me when I was leaving my body. I felt her multiple times before and after this experience, and so I know that she's around me. But I think she was sent especially because it would give me the, it would take away the worry of not knowing what was going on. And when I leave my body, I didn't, I felt more at home there than I did here. There's just this profound sense of going home whenever I leave. And so having her there was definitely comforting.”39:51

“There was a point where I couldn't go any further. My grandmother was there, crying with her arms held out to me. She had died when I was a teenager. Well, she hugged me. It's like when you get out of a cold lake and your mother would wrap a warm towel around you. I had a feeling of total unconditional love. I had no pain, just a feeling of total wellness. While hugging her, I realized we were floating.”0:23

“seemed longer. I met more family members who had passed away and pets from childhood. I saw amazing flowers that were bigger than we have on Earth and fields of green and blue seas. I also got to see my mother who was still alive because I wanted to go home. My grand said that I only had to think of her and I would be with her. She could not see me but I could see her again. I was told that this was not my time to die and was taken back to my body. The men who had assaulted me were scared and said, "She”2:09

“overwhelming sense of being where you belong. And I I have never really thought about it in terms of what aspects really, but it was that sense of just ah I'm home. And then they who who are these people that were there greeting you? Well, I knew that they had were people who had been important in my life story at that point in my life. I had not lost anyone I actually knew. No relatives, no friends, no no one. But they were people who were important, maybe a grandparent who died before I was born. And so I couldn't”34:21

“and human silhouettes appeared all around. When they came toward me, backlit by the light, I recognized each of them. Some had shared my earthly life, others were familiar to me without my knowing why. My paternal grandfather was there, accompanied by my beloved dog, who was happily wagging his tail. Both represented the most precious memories of my childhood. There was also my other grandfather, with his sparkling eyes and mischievous smile. I saw an uncle, an aunt, a caring neighbor from my childhood. My favorite schoolteacher was there,”1:51

“I just created everything I can think of, cities and people and dogs and cats and fences and cars. Suddenly my loved ones who had died on, died on long before me, I'm and I could visit with him including a grandfather I had never met. And he came up to me and we spoke and that was so meaningful to me. I never signed before and never had an occasion to see the man before, and there he was and we could speak.”6:37

“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

“So I'm on the other side, and I start to get very curious of like, well, where is everybody? Because I had this idea that when you died, my dead dog was going to be there, my great-grandmother, and, you know, my ancestors or people that were part of my family were going to greet me and bring me through the Pearly Gates. And there was nobody there. Where were they?”40:02

“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

“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

“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

“moment, my heart sank. I felt awful. After seeing all of what was happening, He took my hand and said, "Let's take a walk,  and meet some people." In that split second, I saw my grandfather, who had died in 2000. I  was only a year old when he passed. My mother has told me many times that he and I had  a great relationship. I knew he was there, and it was him because he looked just like he  does in the photos of when he was a young man. He took me in his arms and rocked me for a bit. I  met his brother, whom, unfortunately, I had never”6:05

“And then Jesus was there. I was greeted by two deceased classmates and two people who had taken care of me when I was a child, and then Jesus was there as well, and my grandmother was there.”9:39

“There were people from my past lives that were there greeting me, that I knew instantly, that I recognized, that I knew from heart to heart that these are very powerful people waiting on me and encouraged me to come through, as well as other friends and family members that had passed. So that whole feeling of welcome was phenomenal.”10:43
