It depends. I actually just a read a novel called, "The Mercy of Thin Air". It is about a girl who dies in 1929 and chooses to stay "between" until she can find out what happened to her love interest. It is really neat because there are actually rules about being "between". The novel itself made me think about whether I would stay "between" if there were a choice and I don't think I would because there is no touching or visiting your loved ones. I also don't think I would come back. I think it would upset the natural order of things. It would be nice to get a second chance, but you will have to die sometime. I think coming back would make it harder to die the second time.

Supporting a life these days is hard, and might cause me to balk at the chance to come back. But life itself, regardless of the circumstances is appealing, and for that reason I'd probably take another shot at it. Having to start from the very beginning again, would require some serious thinking over. That's alot of stress, right off the bat ya get thrown out of a nice warm womb, and into the glare and cold hands of the real world. So while the Doc is probing and pinching in places you never knew you had until then, you turn a pleading, sorrowful look, praying hands and all, towards the woman vaguely remembered as Mom; begging to go back in where it's safe and warm. She didn't go for it, must have been my pleading... they sounded like screams; and my praying... my arms were swinging as if they were attached to a squirrel monkey. Ah yes, I see it now; the pukin and dukin while adjusting to solid foods.. spit flying everywhere while trying to make sense of my words... cuts and bruises from falls taken during walking attempts.... Nope.. it's not easy.
Now coming back in the 20's is kool... I can get right back into the drinking without having missed much.

hnly if I was in the Bad Place---------we are born,live and die and then Move on to where we will be for eternity as everyone on this planet is destined, where we go depends on the choices we made here. Since I believe that Heaven is so much more,where understanding all is attained, no more struggles or illness or pain or death and where My grandparents,parents and loved on wait for me-naturally I'll miss some left here whose time is not yet over with but probably not. One never really knows for if I felt I still had some purpose here and being shown there'd be no doubt that all I blieved is true, again I might. That is also the hope given to us and why we go on even when sometimes its very hard for at the ultimate tomorrow there waits heaven

I have lived most of my life being abused in several ways mostly
physical and mental abuse from the time I was about 3-4 years
old. With my parents, then my ex, and still my parents and I'm
in my 40's and still get the mental abuse it seems that I cannot
do anything right in there eyes. So to answer your question it would be NO because I know I'm going to heaven when I die through salvation from Jesus Christ...Amen. I have always stated
that I would not want to leave my children behind but they are
also saved through salvation but if it is my day to go out of this world I will just wait to meet them in heaven someday.
Praise God !!!

depends on the circumstances.
-if i grew old and died. then i wouldn't come back. i have lived my life and its someone else turn to have it.
-if i were to come back renewed as a baby then of course why not? to have another chance to make decisions, express my feelings, and be with people i can love.
-if i were in heaven (assuming there is one) why would i ever leave?

I would come back from the dead. It's like saying your Jesus who rose from the dead. It would be so cool.

Yes, I would. I think that would be the ultimate eye opener, and I would feel soo greatful to be alive and probably make some major changes and appreciate life so much more.

I would if there were someone or something to come back for. I have plenty of dreams I want fulfilled, but not without my husband.

I would not go back if the life beyond was better. If it was worse, I'd choose this life.
