What happens to those who pass?

For thousands of years men and women have pondered the idea of life after death…we approach and retreat, we want to know, but yet in many ways we are afraid to find out. We obtain glimpses or glimmers, as I like to call them, from people who have had near-death experiences (NDEs).

IANDS, the International Association of Near-Death Studies, investigates and supports the men, women, and children who claim they have crossed over the veil to the Other Side. These people and many others, including me, can and do give verifiable PROOF that there is another side and that we continue from this lifetime to another.

During the 1970's, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Raymond Moody, Jr. and George Ritchie brought NDEs to public attention. This was an enormous breakthrough in our cultural predisposition to avoid death and dying until the inevitable happened to us. Since then, we, as a society, have become more accustomed to the idea of death as it relates “passing” from one existence to another. Both the general public and scientists alike are now realizing that we've had it all wrong. Perhaps, there is no death after all.

Requiring proof, or knowing something beyond any doubt, is human nature. For those of us who have been privileged to experience a “visit from heaven” or who have had an NDE, these events are usually enough to convince us of the reality of a life after death. For those of us who haven't, our search for evidence continues.

In Visits from Heaven, Josie has found the light and the truth; she has compiled incredible, verifiable proof that there is communication from the Other Side. As a medium, I have always known about the reality of an existence after this one. But aside from being a medium, I am also a bereaved mom. I sit on both sides of the fence knowing the pain I must endure without my daughter Carrie who passed from leukemia. At times, I wondered if I could ever get through the agony of losing my child. Even though I knew that she was still around me, I couldn't accept her death at first.

But the more signs I received from Carrie, the pain began to lessen bit by bit. Of course, the pain will always be there, but my daughter has given me the strength to go on with my life. She even communicates with me and my family through signs to reassure me that I am on the right path in relating her messages to others.

I know the joy I feel when I receive signs from my daughter as both a mother and a medium. I know the joy these “visits from heaven” bring to those who have lost loved ones. This book has touched me in very many ways, and I know it will touch you as well.

Josie Varga has put together a book that will soothe your soul and prove to you that, although there may be tears, there is no death. Life does not end. This reminds me of a poem by John Luckey McCreery (1835-1936), entitled, “There is no Death.” The concluding verse reads:

And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is Life—there is no dead!

I think by the time you finish reading this priceless book, you will agree with me. Someday, I will see Carrie once again. Someday, we will all unite with our beloved.
