Three People Now in the Afterlife Describe What Happened After They Died

What Happens after Your Body Dies?

After the transition from the body, you may spend time on the earth plane unseen, mingling among the people, going to your own funeral, or trying to communicate with loved ones. For nearly all people, this is a brief period. You will then on to the next stage of your eternal life, what some people describe as “going to the light.”

Other people don’t spend any time on earth after leaving the body. They are immediately in the afterlife, sometimes sleeping for a short time and awakening in a setting such as a comfortable home or a recovery facility.

Awakening in a comfortable home

Many people awaken on a couch in a comfortable home, sometimes like the home they lived in during their childhoods if that was a happy time for them. Their loved ones are there when they awaken. Pets may crowd around. The person awakening there has just been in a sickbed or accident on earth, so they are at first confused. The loved ones around them explain what has happened and that they are in the next period of their eternal lives. It is a time full of love and joy.

Alexandra, queen consort of King Edward VII of Great Britain, describes in a recording after her death how she awoke in a setting that was just like her childhood home. This is her description from medium Leslie Flint’s session in which she came through:

I…remember very vividly awakening in a room which was very reminiscent of a room that I’ve been very fond of, many years previously in my earthly existence. In every way it seemed to be an exact replica: the colorings, the materials, the furnishings. In fact everything about it was a perfect reproduction; in fact, so much so, that I did not realize at first that I passed on at all. And I remember only too well the very beautiful view from the window, with the beautiful green grass, lawn and terrace and at the bottom, far in the distance, the river. It was a spot which I had been most fond.

And in this room on my awakening were many of my relations and friends that I had known. It was almost like a kind of reception, which of course it was. And I must admit it was a great joy to me, to meet all these friends and all these souls that had meant so much to me in my Earthly life, and to have the feeling of peace and the realization that it was an environment in the very room in which I was most happy. It was a room that had given me great joy and >pleasure many, many years previously.

Alexandra said there were many family members and friends around her, as though they were in a reception. She met them with great joy.

Awakening in a recovery facility

Many people who are now residents of the afterlife report that they were sick in bed on earth one moment and the next woke up in a recovery facility that looks like a hospital with many beds, but no walls. They feel like they must be in a hospital, but their loved ones come to them and explain that they are in a recovery facility to wake up easily and comfortably. The loved ones then accompany them out of that area into the life after this life, explaining to them what has happened to them and what will happen next.

A woman named Mary Ivans described wakening in a setting she felt must have been a hospital because she had been deathly ill. She speaks to a little girl in the next bed who is healthy and vibrant, but said she had Diphtheria, an illness that was most often fatal at the time. After a short time, Mary’s sister, Kate, came to her bed. Mary was at first incredulous. “It can’t be Kate. Kate’s dead,” she remarked. Kate explained to Mary that she had died and that she would take her out of the recovery area to have a reunion with their family who had previously died.

The transcript of the recording of Mary Ivan speaking from the afterlife through the mediumship of Leslie Flint follows.

Ah, I woke up and found myself in a kind of place like a hospital. I thought, ‘well what’s this?’ Because I was in my own house and… you know, I was sick-a-bed and everything. And I had a sister who was looking after me. And I remember waking up here and I was in a kind of ward place in the hospital.

But very nice and very clean, and everything seemed so fresh and airy, and everyone seemed to be so efficient and quiet and peace, and the sun or whatever it was – at least I thought it was the sun then – was shining through the windows now, and everywhere around was pretty and clean. There were pictures hanging on the walls and somehow it seemed like a very special kind of hospital.

And I thought, well, this is strange. And then a very sweet woman came to me and said, ‘You know,’ she says, ‘you just have to rest a little while and then you’ll soon be all right, once you sort of, sort yourself out and get to know things. And your people will be coming in to see you in a wee while.’ And I thought, ‘This is strange.’ I felt sure I was at home in my own bed, and here I am in a hospital, so I must have been unconscious and they must have brought me into hospital. I did not think at first that I was dead.

And then I could see, after a wee while, other souls lying around and there was a sweet little lass next to me in a bed, a little blonde child. Pretty child she was, and she was sitting up there and she was chatting away and then she showed me one or two things that she had; a dolly and some books and things. And she said, ‘Isn’t it nice being here?’ She says, ‘I’m so happy!’

I said, ‘Aye, it’s very nice, but what’s wrong with you?’

She says, ‘Oh, I got diphtheria.’

I says, ‘Well you don’t look like as if you’ve got diphtheria. You look as fresh as a daisy, and your cheeks and everything are bright and cheerful.’

You know, I could not think there was anything wrong with the wee lassie. And I said, ‘Well how long have you been here?’

She says, ‘I’ve only just come.’ She says, ‘I’m very happy though.’

I said, ‘I can see that.’

Anyway, then I saw my sister coming towards me. And I was so surprised because, you know, I had this sister and she died very young, when I was about twelve. We called her Kate. And I thought, ‘this is strange. Kate’s not here. Kate’s dead.’ And there she was. And she came to me and she’d got a great big bunch of flowers in her arms. Beautiful flowers they were, fresh flowers with the dew on.

And she said, ‘Here, I brought you these and we’re so glad that you’ve come.’ And she says, ‘Mother’s coming soon, and also Pa.’

I says ‘No,’ I said ‘That’s not possible.’ I said, ‘In any case, how are you getting in here, you know. You’re no here; you’re dead.’

She says, ‘Oh, don’t be silly,’ she says, ‘I’m dead all right and so are you!’

I says, ‘What do you mean, I’m dead?’

She says, ‘You’re dead.’

Awakening in pleasant surroundings, such as a field

A few people describe awakening in a field or other pleasant surroundings. A man named George Wilmot described awakening under a tree in a field. He saw a horse coming to him. It was his old horse Jenny whom he loved. Jenny had come to greet him into the afterlife.

The transcript of the recording of George Wilmot speaking from the afterlife through the mediumship of Leslie Flint follows.

Mind you I was always fond of people. I always took an interest in people. As a matter of fact I think I can say this with honesty, that often people would come and ask me proper questions if they were in trouble. I was always glad to help people, very fond of people. But the odd thing was – and in a way I’m not surprised because I was so fond of her – but my old Jenny was the one I first saw when I come here.

Yeah. Now, that’s got you guessing, but Jenny wasn’t neither of my wives, thank God, it was my horse.

Yeah she… old Jenny, she used to pull my cart in my earlier years, in the thirties, you know. I was real upset when poor old Jenny collapsed and died, you know. She was as near to me as any woman could be, in fact more so. I had great affection and regard for old Jenny and she knew everything that I ever said to her, I’m sure she did. She was as cute as they come. She was a real “beaut”. She wasn’t much to look at, I suppose, as horses go, of course, but she was a real nice old nag, she was. And the first thing I remember when I woke up over here was being in a – well, I suppose you’d call it a field.

I seemed to be sitting, lying, under a tree and I remember, sort of, waking up. And I could see this horse coming towards me and there was my old Jenny. Cor ! She looked younger, of course, and she was… oh, she was so thrilled and so happy, you could sense and feel it. I can’t say how, I mean this is something I can’t explain. But it was almost as if she was talking to me. It was extraordinary. I couldn’t hear any voice and you don’t expect to hear a horse speak. But it was somehow mentally, I suppose, now I realize. It must have been as if she was speaking to me and welcoming me and she came and stood beside me and was licking my face. Goodness me, I’ll never forget this as long as I live. I was so thrilled and so excited and I was patting her and fussing her.

There are always reunions

There are always reunions with the people and pets the person loved while on earth, although the reunion may be delayed when the transition is sudden or when the person goes through a period of rest or sleep. Family, friends, and even acquaintances have a joyous coming-home experience with the new arrival.

There is a life review

Evidence from near-death experiences and mediums who have reported what people living in the life after this life have described to them corroborate the understanding that people experience a life review after making the transition. In the life review, the individual reviews all the significant actions and events during the person’s life, feeling them from the points of view of the people involved as well as the person’s point of view. There is no judgment or punishment involved. In the life review, people judge themselves, thereby experiencing profound learning from reviewing the actions and feeling the sentiments of the others involved.

There is no hell

No one speaking through mediums from the next life describes a hell or place of torment. The concept of Hell is a myth invented by the church in the second century CE. It is simply inconceivable that the Universal Intelligence, embodying pure love, would put people into torture for a moment, let alone an eternity.

We know what happens to people after their bodies die. You don’t need to worry about what will happen after your body dies. The transition is easy and the events are uplifting and filled with joyous reunions.
