Bottom line... unless you die and come back to life no one can tell you about the after life. I used to worry myself sick over this until I realize it's pointless. As long as I'm alive I will never know. No one will. Live your life... don't concern yourself with those things which are out of your control.... you will gain nothing from it but a life time of worry. Make friends... form connections... enjoy life... leave your mark on the world.... inspire the next generation... and rest in peace my friend...

To answer your first question yes, without a shadow of a doubt I believe in heaven and hell. The reason that I don't think we as people turn into a black nothingness is also based on my faith in what God has told us in the Bible. If you would read John chapter 3, verse 15, it states that "God gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever shell believer in Him shall not parish, but have everlasting life." So for me I just believe God. That is my faith, my beliefs, and it is comforting to me. We know that we are going to be happy in Heaven, because God says that we will be. Read the first book in the New Testament, it's called Matthew. I do not remember at this time which chapter, and verses they are, but Jesus talks to his disciples about the after life, and the second coming of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. As far as God as you say putting us through this kind of personal hell, well, if you do believe in God, than when God created Adam and Eve, we did have perfect lives, but than Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, as did than Adam. That was the only thing that God told them not to do. After that life was never perfect again. We have free will, we can choose to do what we wish to do, or choose not to do things. I too have had my own personal hell here on earth. From the age of 6-19 my father sexually abused me, and I had no one at all to protect me. At the age of 49, I still have depression, and sometimes severe panic attacks. I have tried to kill myself once, and I will tell you that after I took the pills, I got so scared about what I had done, because I realized that I really didn't want to die, and not only that, but that if I did die by killing myself I would go to hell. The hospital was able to pump my stomach, and as you can see I'm still alive, and very grateful that I am. Even with all the problems that everyone in life faces, there is also moments of joy, love, kindness, caring, and every other good feeling that you can think of. So to answer your last question do I think Tylenol could be a friend, NO! Remember please, that even with the depression, panic attacks, and sexual abuse that I have been through, my free will is to live, and to try and live each and every day with a new perspective. Life can be good. Don't give up, because of some bad breaks in your life. Good luck.

Thinking as death as nothing, makes it into something, where in fact death is just like sleep you don't realise you have been asleep until you wake up, just imagine you never wake up. I used to be afraid of death, granted I don't wish to die before my time but I am not afraid of it anymore. Even if we were to be reincarnated we would not remember being alive before or you would not be asking this question now.
If we worry to much about death we won't have time to live.

You will know what will happen and what you'll feel when a NDE(Near Death Experience) comes. Trust your belief and faith. Believe on what you think in your opinionated perspective of the post-life world. Look for data and gather it up so you can decide on what you believe. It is your decision not others.

I agree. Have faith. I have psychic gifts, one of which is a bit of clairvoyance (it's not my strongest gift, my weakest in fact, but I do have it), and I've had to help lost souls to cross over, many of them children. Every time I've been blessed to be able to see a part of the process they go through. I've seen the tunnel, I've seen "the doorway", I've seen the family members with their arms waving through the portal, calling to the lost soul walking the tunnel. And a few times, I've been blessed enough to have caught a glimpse of heaven itself, beyond the door. I believe. I definitely believe. Heaven is beautiful.
But you know, as is normal with most natural born psychics, we sometimes wonder if what we see is real. Until last night. At my RCIA meeting last night (the process of joining a Catholic church), one man described his near-death experience to a few of us that sounded quite a bit like what I had seen in my medium experiences. He said a tunnel of these little cherubs formed from his body up into the sky, with a light at the end of it, and when he went up through this tunnel, he came to a door that resembled the ones on the church we have now (he hadn't gone to church before when this had happened), and he peeked through the door. He said he'd never seen a sky so blue or grass so green, or felt as much love and joy as he felt from those little cherubs (I believe they were angels).
I believe in heaven and it's been told to me by my guardian angels, who I talk to every day, that it's as beautiful as you want it to be. IOW--that beach is waiting for you, honey.
I also know that I've had 3 incarnations upon this earth, that this is my 4th life. It's just a general sense of having been here before, as well as my angels telling me how many times.
Why does God let our lives go the way it does? I grew up in a very abusive household, a childhood that has shaped who I am today, and for a long time I wondered that myself. Why would God choose to put me here? Why wouldn't he get me out of here? But it wasn't God who my life. It was my mother who chose my life. Because He gives us all free will. Free will to choose what we want or don't want. And if you don't ask, He won't intervene on your life. In my case, He couldn't, because it was my mother's free will.
sounds convenient, I'm sure some will say, but that's what I believe. Because I personally believe that God did not send his only son onto this earth to be killed. He sent his only son to show us the way to heaven. Human's killed Jesus.
Anyway, I'm not even sure if this makes sense. But God will always provide for you. He won't go against the free will of His children, but He will always give you what you need. What did He give me? Teachers and friends who cared, places to go where I felt safe. He gave me an escape from a life I couldn't escape. And now, when my hell has returned in the form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, he has sent me angels, to watch over me, to help me in this process.
Peace, love and light
