I think we'll know more when we get to that point. At least we aren't going to know less.

looking at those pictures, some are just a blur, some are clearly fake, some are Pareidolia.

i like the idea that we may see are loved ones again and maybe loved pets etc, i also hope to win the lottery..that is possible but very miniscule, but i live in hope..does no harm, well not to me, but oh to see my mum and dad again...frig the lottery

This has been written about many times over the years. The Express must have had some pages to fill.

I like to think that my loved ones who have passed away are 'up there somewhere' but I don't really believe it.

[fender62]

Cloverjo, it is a nice thought and that you may join them, i don't think it does any harm in hoping, if you consider the alternative, hope never hurt anyone, but some like to think when your dead your erm dead and that's that, perhaps on err on the not sure, has a ring of hope or wishful thinking..glint in the eye

Not sure about these near-death experiences. I think I read something about the brain going extra-active under the stress of dying. It seemed to explain them. I do know that I have seen and heard inexplicable things which point to some form of survival of the spirit, I am convinced of that, and faith tells me that I will meet loved ones in some form or another. So I live in calm hopes. :)

When my mum was unconsious and near to her death she struggled to sit, looked behind me and said 'Hello mum and dad what are you doing here?' Goose pimples galore! I don't believe in life after death though.

There was a photo in the press the other day of a youngish couple with their 13 kids and not finished yet....it's a fairly safe bet that they will be immortal.

Well fender, according to the many worlds interpretation in quantum mechanics, there are uncountable versions of you, so many will have already won the lottery. Unfortunately your consciousness is inhabiting a version that hasn't (yet).

I think the only way our loved ones remain are in our memories. And that's how it should be.

Another mad American.

[albaqwerty]

it's a nice idea to think that we will be re-united with our loved ones after death. However, there are a few family members who were loved by others that I don't wish to see!!

I have no doubt that there is a continuing existence of the soul after transition. We are here to experience and to learn, we then move on.

Is this in today's Express?

I like to think that we could live on. Imagine what we could do if we had all the time in the world to do it!

I was brought up to believe that when you died you either went to Heaven or to Hell. But what is there in Heaven? and what is there in Hell?

No one has ever come back to tell us have they? So is there really life after death?

I would much prefer to live on earth, without the problems we have of course.

“DO YOU believe in miracles?” Perhaps you feel that to do so might indicate that you are somewhat superstitious or uneducated. Many feel that way.
Or you may belong to a group, who would answer: “I don’t know, and I don’t care! Miracles don’t happen in my life!” Really, why should you be interested in miracles?

Consider this scenario: Imagine that you have an incurable disease. If you were to read a report in a reputable medical journal about a new medicine that might cure your sickness, would it not be worthwhile to expend at least a little time and energy to investigate the facts? Similarly, the Bible promises that soon some amazing miracles will occur. They will affect the lives of every living creature on this planet. Would it not be worth some of your time and energy to find out whether that promise is reliable?

I love the Christian whose tombstone read "And so it begins".

Hi fender, personally no. I think anything remaining after a loved ones death is a concentration of thoughts in the grief of the person left behind, the abrupt void we feel, their energy, their soul. In other words all they ever meant to us while the were living.
