Thanks so much, Lauren. I really appreciate your kind message and comments about my story. Funny but before we began our exchanges yesterday, I started a new pub, "The Afterlife." I woke up yesterday with a BIG message from Spirit that I need to create this pub.

So I did that when I got up - and the point of it is to try to bring awareness and information and comfort to anyone struggling with issues related to the Afterlife. Either because of grief and wondering if their loved ones in spirit are okay, or even if they 'are' in spirit ... or for people who are terminally ill and facing death and wondering what's next, or for people like you who have had a glimpse at something beyond this world and it leaves you feeling confused and not knowing what to make of it.

I can relate to your story in a different way, too, having suddenly had significant heart problems in my 30s with no risk factors. I was pretty ill for several years. Long story about that, and about what made me well but happily, I've been fine for 12 years.

I hit some pretty horrifically low points, but here I am. Big message for me - and for you - never stop hoping.

I'm grateful for you, too. So glad we've connected here. 💜
