My husband was an atheist and definitely did not believe in life after death, at least when he was alive. When he died two months ago, I promised myself not to cling to false hopes... but I've had two experiences now that lead me to wonder and to hope that something of him still remains. And I'm choosing to be comforted by those experiences and not pick them apart trying to explain the unexplainable. I do love the idea of Mike still having his mind, which always fascinated me, and his imagination, which was potent.

Whether these things come from my love, or from god, or from quantum physics, I have no way to know. but Something is there, and I will take any comfort I can. I have to believe there is more here - I did before the accident, and I can't stop now. <br /><br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-54783224002017381942010-04-30T10:52:48.454-07:002010-04-30T10:52:48.454-07:00I know my husband is still with me.

When I have needed him, he has let me know in many ways that he is there. He has not left my side. Some may think I am crazy, I don't care, it is amazing and magical to feel that life is more than just who we are and what is physically in front of us. If we can believe in God, with no proof of his existence, then why can't we believe that the ones who love us the most are still with us and they give us proof of their love?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268746983441346507.post-64636895724977463732010-04-30T08:41:26.691-07:002010-04-30T08:41:26.691-07:00What a wonderful message.

But just when I'm about to fall deeper into my grief, something makes me sense him reaching out to me, and I completely buy into it. <br /><br />I think it is just too painful to imagine that they are not thinking of us, as we are of them.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02218009891182171803noreply@blogger.com
