I have kept this column to read again and answer. I have asked the stars, God, my dead loved ones this same question. When I am truly in despair, they always give me a sign of hope. So....my answer to what is really out there is: LOVE. Love in celestial form. Something we cannot grasp while on this plane, but swim in once we enter the next. I feel those friends and family. I feel them loving me, or at least liking me an awful lot. That is what we get when we go. We just feel love.
It is all about LOVE. 100%. I know you have a few people that you miss like crazy and I think both you and I are open to the signs and love God allows them to bestow upon us somehow. I'm toying with the idea that the heavenly realm they are in is not way up in the stars but literally all around us. They get to enjoy the earth and everything here in a way we are currently completely unable to. It is more vivid, more real to them. I listened to a couple new NDEs just today and a researcher talking about them and he said he thinks for NDEs it is all about the message of seek, seek, seek. It's the journey. I'm so glad you replied to this and I hope the babies are thriving with mom, dad, granny, and aunts loving on them constantly.
I have often pondered the question - what am I supposed to learn from this or that?

You gave me another thought that fit in the puzzle- you said "challenges us."
The grief I have over the loss of my beloved sister is certainly a challenge- I don't mean to sound trite, but again the - why and what am I supposed to learn popped right in my brain when I read your words.
Sorry if I am just rambling. Thank you for your post. It was a blessing. I feel as though God is sending messages through your words to me. Sending love from NM, Debbie
I feel honored by your words. He is with you in your grief, through my words, His Word ( so many Bible verses that help ) nature, and other people. Part of the "ask and you will receive" is just that, but people have to be open to it, and you are. Sending love back from Alabama!
Lol, of course I don’t mind, biting my tongue as I say it: Vermont!! (It may have just lost its spot as the most atheist state in the country!) I could go on forever about my “issues” living here, but what’s the point; it is what it is!🤷♀️ Still very beautiful, though💕

A good read, thank you for that. My sour mood is ALso now improved!😊
An added bonus! I'm curious where you live, Regina. Do you mind saying? It's fine if not...

I've heard it is very beautiful. Hubby is heading up there for two open water competitions this summer on Lake Memphremagog!
