This book is dedicated to those curiousenough to ask questions about the Afterlife, those open enough tohear the answers and anyone on the journey of discovering yourconnections with the Spirit World.

Death is no more than passingfrom one room into another. But there's a difference for me, youknow. Because in that other room I shall be able to see.-Helen Keller

The topic of the afterlife is one ofabsolute extremes that most people have an opinion about.

As a Psychic Medium with over 30 years ofexperience, I am answering these questions based on my own personalexperience with the Afterlife. Years of questions that my clients,friends, and students have asked me, and their loved ones inSpirit, throughout the years. These answers are in no particularorder and were usually asked in response to this question:

If you could have one question answeredabout death or what happens during or after you die, what would itbe?

The following answers are from my ownpersonal experience and observation. They are based oncommunication, interpretation and conversation Ive had over theyears with the Spirit world. My intention in sharing them with youis not to say this is the right way, but to simply answer commonquestions based on MY experience.

The questions are grouped by topic. Someanswers are more detailed than others. For many of these topics, itis most helpful to read all responses in a particular section toget an overall feel for my answer.

Answers About the Afterlife

What does the transition "feel" like?I get a lot of different responses to this question from the OtherSide. The most common is that it feels the same as it does when yougo to sleep.

Do you feel pain during transition?You feel no pain at the point of transition. It is a complete andabsolute release of resistance. That doesn't mean that people don'tfeel pain during the death process, but at the point of transition,no.

Is there truly an overwhelming feeling ofpeace?? Yes. Spirits usually report back that they felt anintense sense of peace and love. They experience feelings thatcant even be described in words they usually show me color colorthat I havent seen before with my physical eyes.

In deaths that are premature (accident,murder, etc. of someone still young) is there a moment of consciouschoice to let go vs. fight to stay? I dont know if I would saya conscious choice, but I would say that there is a moment wherethe Spirit recognizes that it is either time to turn back or tocontinue forward on the journey home.

The thing that scares me about the dyingprocess is NOT BREATHING! Are people suffocating? The last breathsare so labored and appear horrible. Is the person in pain? Panic?Where are they when the breathing becomes so hard? Yes,sometimes they are suffocating. The reality is that the way weleave this physical existence can be traumatizing and painful tothe physical shell. The feedback I get from the Spirit world isthat during these times, they go in and out of the body. So, whenyou are with someone and they seem to not be there, its becauseoftentimes they arent. When the breathing becomes so labored it isoften referred to as the death rattle. The death rattle can be verydifficult for both the person passing as well as the loved oneswatching. During the death rattle, one suggestion that might helpto calm everyone down is to hold that persons hand, and get intosync with their breath - becoming one breath. I was taught thistechnique in hospice training with Dannion Brinkley and it has beena fabulous tool.

Can you tell when someone is going topass, even if they aren't sick?? There are some mediums thattune into that more than others. I have had experiences where Ihave felt that, for some unknown reason, but it is not common forme.

At what point does the soul actuallyleave the body during the dying phase? Just before the heart stopsand the body dies, or moments or a time before? The Spirit cancome and go, throughout our lives - visit the Other Side, check outwhen we are in pain but when the heart quits beating, the Spirithas gone home.

When I die, is there heartache? Will Ifeel sadness or loss for those I am not able to physically be withon Earth? It depends. If you desire to stay more connected toyour loved ones then you can tune into their frequency, and feeltheir sadness. This is often the case when you first transition andare still in what I refer to as a healing space. Once you havetranscended that area, then it is likely that you would not feeltheir sadness or pain, but rather just feel love, regardless ofwhat you are observing in them.

What happens at the moment of death?At the moment of death, we release all resistance and form.

What is on the other side of this life?Where do we go? Eternity!!! I get different answers fromdifferent Spirits; therefore I have come to believe that we go towhere we believe we will go and we create whatever it is we want tocreate. The stories vary greatly.

Who will be there to help me crossover? Those that you have loved that have already crossed overwill be there, waiting for you. This can be family members,friends, colleagues, and even your beloved animals. Anyone that youloved, can be there. In addition, you will become aware of yourGuardian Angel and your Spirit Guides if you weren't already.

When one transitions alone, do they hearand know you got there too late? Do they still feel your love?They absolutely feel your love and your guilt. It is best if youcan try to focus on your love. If you got there too late, then thatwas part of the Divine plan, which they now know. So, yes, theyknow you tried to get there; and oftentimes, honestly, they don'twant anyone there. They want to be alone. The way it is oftenrevealed to me, and as I share in Jimmy's story in my book, is thatit will be the way they want it. So if you are there, or not, it isin perfect Divine order.

Can you 'feel' a loved one's Spirit movethrough you at the time of death, even if you are not physicallywith them? Yes, when someone dies it is possible to feel theirSpirit move through you at their time of death, even if you are notwith them. When you have a strong love connection, and the physicalpresence leaves, many people feel them leave. Some are evenawakened out of a deep sleep or see their Spirits as theyleave.
