My father who I absolutly adored died yesterday afternoon. He was 64 and the death was sudden. I'm not very religious but I so want to believe that he has gone to"heaven" and that I will see him again.Has anyone ever had a neardeath experience that will help comfort me??? Anything?? I feel so lost and alone.

I feel for you. . .and I hope you find comfort, somehow.
I have no answer except to say that, personally, I believe they stay with us somehow. . .they never truly leave those they love.
Your Father will always be with you in spirit. . .and you will feel his presence at times.
Please know that. . .I hope you find some small peace in it.
Blessings to you~~~

Gandhi had an answer to this
He told a woman who asked a similar question to go around the village and ask for a house that had never had a death in it and get back to him when she found it.
After a month or so of knocking on doors and asking this question, she never found a single one. She came back and simply thanked him for the wisdom she had gained.
The story is a little longer than that, but that is the core.
Essentially, life entails death. It's not a bad thing. You are just having a hard time seeing your "new" life. You are attached to a life that you want, with your grandfather. That life can no longer be. I wish you well.

I would like to send my best wishes to you and your family. I felt the same way you do when my grandmother passed away years ago.(she raised us so she was like another mother to me, my best friend honestly) What happened to me though was not a near death experience, it was a couple of days after grandma had passed and I was sitting underneath the maple tree in her back yard, just sobbing, and I felt this warmth. Mind you it's the middle of January in Oklahoma. But this warmth and this peace stayed with me for awhile and I knew at that moment she was at peace. She wasn't in pain any more, she wasn't shaky, or tired and that she had gone home where she had been longing to go for many years. She was with her husband who she longed to be with and her son whom she missed terribly. and I knew, I don't know how or why? But I did know that she was finally at rest. I still miss her terribly, it's been seven years sense she passed and I will still think to call grandma or get her a Christmas gift. And that's okay. I know that she is right where she wanted to be. I hope you can find that in this time of need. My heart goes out to you. Bless You and may Peace be with you.

The fact that you are not very religious does not change the law of God. Your father is fine and now he has a better focus on the things he will want to work on. You will most definitely see him again. I am sorry to hear of your pain, but know that this too will disappear, for it has no father.

This is an opportunity to come to terms with your own death...then accepting another's death is not so difficult.

I would suggest reading in Psalms. David pours out his heart in many different emotions, but he always comes to a conclusion and finds peace and comfort in God.

There was a teenage boy who died of heart problems and when they resuscitated him at the end, he asked "Why did you bring me back, I was playing with my litte brothers." He had younger twin brothers who had died of the same thing years earlier. When my mom died, she (and her dog) looked past us and started crying and calling our dead brother's name as if she was seeing him.
