I am a Christian person and my church specifically tells me that when we pass into Heaven we are no longer in the world as we know it now. I think a spirit goes through many phases in it's life and just as we do not remember the ones previous to this one - when we pass on to the next one we won't remember this one. Our memories are contained within our brain and when we die , our brain dies and those memories do not move on with our spirit.

Totally your own opinion. Many religions believe we will have to account for our actions on Earth after we die including most Christians. How can we if we don't recall anything that happened here once we're in the hereafter???

From your 3 posts here you're obviously trying to convince someone. Yourself, maybe? The OP asked if we had had visits and what were they like. She didn't ask for non-believers to voice their skepticism. Talk to any neurologist. There is so much they don't know about the brain. This quote is from a 2012 medical journal: understanding of the neurological framework that underlies memory is still largely incomplete.

I've never heard a clergy-person give a detailed account of what happens to the soul after death. I did have one tell me that my loved ones will always be with me. I choose to heed him and not you.

He meant your loved ones are with you in your mind - your memory.Whatever - believe whatever you please and I will do the same.

Please don't insult my intelligence by your comments. No, he didn't mean they would be in my mind unless he thought I didn't know I possessed a memory!? Without going into detail, he said what I already believe which is that their spirits stay close to us and never leave us. Many many people (including many Christians btw) believe this too.

I would love to talk or just be in the presence of my loved ones who have gone on. I hope I'll be able to see them again someday. Lord willing.

Because I am a Christian I totally depend on what the Bible says and no man, church or vision is going to make me believe otherwise. But this said, my view doesn't prevent me from respecting the thoughts of others here.

On topics like this, it's important to state your personal opinion as just that: your personal opinion; not the definitive "truth." It's very important to be respectful if others' beliefs.

My father died this summer. He loved Christmas and particularly my home at the holidays.

My sweaters are stacked on shelves in my closet. Monday I chose a sweater I was going to wear Tuesday. I moved it to the top of a pile. Tuesday morning when I went to get dressed, a Christmas ball was lying on top of the sweater.

We have a lot of Christmas decorations, but I can tell you the story behind almost every ornament. A few weeks ago when I was doing one of the trees, I remember thinking about a missing ornament. I did not remember breaking it last year and was puzzled by the fact I could not find it. THAT was the ornament on my sweater.

I've mentioned this before. My Father has been gone almost 23 years, about 17 yrs. I was involved in a 10 car pile up. Bad Accident, I was hit by a huge van and a full size truck, when the truck hit me, I was pushed out of the expressway and going straight to a palm tree, my shoulder was dislocated and maneuvering steering wheel with one hand while firmly placing my right hand on my son who was in his car seat. I felt as if I was being held from behind but my little S10 didn't have a back seat. When I arrived by the hospital, I had a thick line going across my chest and Dr. couldn't explain it. I smelled my Dad and I knew it was him holding me. I didn't say anything at the Hospital but I knew.

Beautiful. 8)

Precious!

Your story gave me chills!

I had a co worker who said while he had no spiritual beliefs at all, his wife was deeply spiritual.

He said when they were first married they bought a large, old fixer house. His wife was pregnant and worked hard on the house every day. She swore she found brand new pennies in the home. A shiny penny just about every day.

His wife said it was a sign from her mom who had passed. His wife said as a little girl she loved the new shiny pennies her mom would give her and it was a treasured secret between them.

I was only 11 year old when my brother was killed in a car accident. I don't believe he knew he was dead because I could feel him sit down on my bed at night. This only happened a few times so I guess he moved on.

My dear friend of thirty five years passed in December of 2011 and about three months ago she appeared in the middle of the night and told me she would see me soon. Immediately after that my father's face appeared but he didn't say anything. I adored my father and he passed in 2000 at the age of 96 and since my friend and my father never met, and lived on different coasts, it was so strange that they would both visit me one after the other.

When I told my daughter she asked me if it scared me or if was I afraid and I said no. If it is a sign that I will be joining them in the very near future that is fine with me. Because of the pain I suffer 24/7 I would almost welcome it.

Yes, O/P, I have had visits from those who have passed on. They are comforting to me. My mom's sister's presence used to be at the bottom of my bed (I could definitely feel her warmth) right after she passed away in 1980 and I enjoyed her being there. She was extremely religious and always knew that I prayed a lot. This went on for many months. My brother has visited me twice since his sudden passing in 2009. He actually showed himself to me, just to let me know he was with me. The 1st time I saw my brother after he passed, it was very comforting. The 2nd time, I just cried. I have not seen him since. I feel my grandmother with me all the time and I love having her near. I can smell my dad's cologne from time to time and hear his voice in my head when I need advice; (he passed away at Christmas, so this time of year is still a little sad for me and will probably always be.) I have never seen or felt my mother's presence and that's fine. It is so interesting and curious to me how these things happen to some people and not others. Thank you, O/P, for the opportunity to share my experiences. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all !
