Serious question after life?

Question

Who believes that we will go on and live in happiness afterlife. I have lost my mum recently and although I want you to say it is true I genuinely want you true thoughts on the matter.

For all of you that suggested my mother was not saved and are sorry - how dare you I only asked your opinon not whether my mum was saved or not. I wish I never asked

Answer 1

I've recently lost someone too. Honestly, I don't think it's a good idea for this question to be posted. A lot of people will say that there is no afterlife, and that's probably not what you need to hear right now. It really doesn't matter what other people's opinions on the matter are. There will always be some people who believe in the afterlife, and some who don't. And you can't really tell which sources are reliable.

Sorry about your loss.

Answer 2

I think that the afterlife is alot like this life, it's what you make of it. You can be just as happy here as there. I think your mum will be happy knowing that she raised a child with the courage to seek the honesty of a question's answer rather than the comfort of an answer that isn't true although it makes you feel better.

Answer 3

I with all my heart and soul believe there is a heaven. A glorious place where only peaceful God loving souls live. I too have lost my mum, but it was years ago, and I feel her all the time. She comes in dreams and sometimes just guides me, I always seem to say ( in my dream ) that I don't want to leave ( You know how weird dreams can be )and she always says I have to. And I do, but I appreciate her more than ever now that I too am a mom. But we do have to move on, just keep her memory with you, like you could lose it right? God bless.

Answer 4

I have had two life-after-life experiences. I was not living what anyone could consider a "saved" life. Yet, what I experienced was unconditional Love and Acceptance. That Ineffable Light was there for me and I truly believe is there for your Mum and you, too. Do not give in to these legalistic sellers of Bibles and bull. The Light is there.

Peace and Joy to you. Much love and truth.

Answer 5

I am convinced there is life after death for one reason: Jesus Christ died and was placed in a tomb—and three days later came back to life.

Think about it a moment: What would it take to prove to us that there is life after death? The answer is clear: Someone would have to die, and then come back to life again. It wouldn't be enough for them to have a so-called "near-death" experience; their death would have to be real. And it wouldn't be enough for only one or two people to see them; it would require many witnesses.

But has this ever happened? Yes—when Jesus Christ rose from the grave! His death was real; hard-bitten Roman guards made sure He was dead before they took Him down from the cross. And His resurrection was real also, because hundreds saw Him during the next forty days. Paul, writing over 25 years later, noted that "he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living" (1 Corinthians 15:6).

How could this happen? It happened because Jesus Christ was not just another man. He was God's only Son, sent from heaven to save us from our sins. Only He could say, "I am the resurrection and the life. ... Whoever lives and believes in me will never die" (John 11:25-26). This can be your hope, by giving your life to Christ today.
Almost nothing in life is as painful as the loss of a loved one (whether their death was anticipated, or sudden and unexpected). Nor does the shock and sadness go away easily or quickly. Recovering from grief, I've come to realize, isn't an event but a process—a process that may take a long time. But listen: With God's help it can happen.

You see, the most important thing I can tell you is that God loves you, and He understands what you're going through. After all, He knows what it is to lose a loved one, for He allowed His only Son to die on a cross for you. This is why the most important step you can take is to respond to His love by asking Christ to come into your life. With Him you are never alone.

Then I urge you to reach out to others who know what it is to grieve. You need them—and they need you! Many churches today, for example, have regular "grief groups" for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one.
No matter what happens to us, God still loves us and He still cares for us. He knows your pain and heartache, and He knows the grief you and your family are going through. Jesus' promise is for you: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" (Matthew 5:4). We may not always understand why evil things happen—but God does, and we can turn to Him for the comfort we need.

Take comfort in the fact that your mum knew Christ and that now she is safely in heaven beyond the pain and sorrows of this world. And take comfort also in the fact that some day you will see her again.

Answer 6

I have recently lost someone very close to me as well, not as close as a parent or sibling, but family just the same. He died a slow and painful death brought on by cancer, and in his final moments he spoke of seeing family members previously passed waiting for him on the other side. I am not sure that this is not just some delirious ranting of a dying and drug induced man, but it gives me peace to know that its possible. That it is possible that there is life after death and that you can be with the ones u loved and lost when ur time comes. It gives me peace to know that when my time comes the ones i have loved and lost will be waiting for me on the other side to welcome me to heaven. i hope this has helped you some.

Answer 7

As a Christian I know and believe with all of my heart that Jesus is the only way to heaven and all other beliefs are false. Now, that my sound sort of harsh and maybe even mean but I can tell you that Almighty God is merciful to all. But He's also a Holy God. He requires perfection on our part and the only way we can be perfect enough to spend eternity with Him is through the blood of His Son Jesus.

I'm terribly sorry about your mum, I pray the Lord revealed Himself to her. Peace be with you.

Answer 8

I believe there is an Heaven, but you don't go there automatically. You have to live in a good way. But God knows your inmost soul, and even if someone has done some bad things I wouldn't say that any certain person is not in Heaven. Just pray for your mom.

Answer 9

What i believe is that not only is there an after life but that we can live together with our loved ones forever in that afterlife. The sealing power of the Gospel of Christ has been restored. Find it and apply it to your life. God bless and be at ease. Your mother is preparing for eternity as much as you should be.

Answer 10

what depresses us when we loose someone we love?
only our memories about him/her..
would anyone who doesn't know him/her be deppressed of his/her loss?
think about it..
what makes us suffer in life is the ego(personality) which is merely a bunch of memories and habits..
we should realize and step out of it
we should look beyond our egos
what makes you suffer: your memories about your mum
just keep your mind free, accept life as it comes and there will be no suffering

" Pain is physical; suffering is mental. Beyond the mind there is no suffering. Pain is merely a signal that the body is in danger and requires attention. Similarly, suffering warns us that the structure of memories and habits, which we call the person (vyakti), is threatened by loss or change. Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but none compels you to suffer. Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting; it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life."
