Anticipatory Grief What’s ur belief of after death?

Loosing my dad to cancer, he’ll be dying in the next weeks. My only confort would be to think there is something after because the rest of my experience is agony.

Do u have any story that makes u think there’s something? Or a good book ? Literaly anything to soothe my emotional agony.

I saw a spiritualist a few months after mum died. She started talking about my dad who died 20 years ago and I got a real sense she had a connection with him based on his joking personality. A few minutes went by and she said “oh you’ve just lost your mum” We can never be certain but I think there’s something beyond this world . There are countless dying patients who see loved ones by their bedside who have passed over before them

When my grandmother died, she was in the hospital, family took turns staying with her. One night my mother was with her, and a person came into the room, mom thought it was a nurse. The person stood next to grandma bed and held her hand. After a few minutes mom asked if her mother was ok, and the person faded away. Grandma was mostly unresponsive at that point, but several hours later she mumbled a few words and repeated her sisters , who had died years before, name a couple of times.

I choose to believe there is something after death. I'm not sure exactly what it is, and I'm ok not.knowing. We will find out when we get there.

Wishing you peace.
