What do you expect to happen to you in the last few moments of your life and shortly thereafter?

Not sure how it will happen - hence not sure in the moments right before

But as I pass, I think I will be filled with an immense joy along the lines of all the flying dreams I've had, all the laughs I've shared, and resounding applause rolled into one.

Wouldn't that be great!

A general reunion of all the people I know on the other side.

And then review and report on my last assignment - my current life I'm living.

I expect that when I am close to physical death, I will no longer be concerned about the realities I saw in this life, but will be in process of transforming back to the spiritual essence that is my true existence.

I'll be ready to go to Heaven and will tell my family
that I'll see them on the other side.

My Dad was greeted with "well done..."

Depending on how I die. If it is sudden, I'd probly be confused for some time, trying to figure out what just happened and am I really dead? They say that is what ghosts are...spirits that think they are still alive and haven't went to the other side yet.

I do know that when I get to the other side.... it will be so peaceful and beautiful that our earthly minds can't fully comprehend it. I had a dream several years ago....everything made sense, I didn't have any questions, like "why are we here" or "what is our purpose" or "why is there suffering in the world". In the dream, it was so simple and I was in such a peaceful state of mind, it was like a uphoria (sp), not like any drug here on earth. Sylvia Brown has said that we visit the other side in our dreams about 3 times a week.
It is hard to put into words what I dreamt, but I know that it is there and in a way, I can't wait to go back.

I have never thought of my last moments in this world, but I always figured that when I left, I would arrive in a place beautiful beyond description where I will meet all in my life that I loved that went before me. I want to see my deceased mother again happy and healthy instead of how I remember her now, ravaged by cancer.

Express!

"What do you expect to happen to you in the last few moments of your life and shortly thereafter?"

I actually have no clue! <:-O

I know what I WANT to have happen, but I also think that Death, like Life, comes at us from all directions, and often from unexpected directions. When the moment comes, I hope and pray I am conscious and fully mentally functioning. That I have the opportunity to say goodbye to those I love. I am also a coward in that I don't want to take a long time to die, with a lot of lingering and suffering, both for me and for my family.

I believe the personal identity of this lifetime is like a coat I will shed upon death, and only my Spirit will move forward back Home to the spirit realm with the Goddess and God. A place of rest and time to evaluate what I learned in this lifetime, what I wish to learn in the next incarnation, and what Karma needs to be worked with. I hope to be welcomed in a huge bear hug by the Goddess and God, even though I won't have a corporeal body. ;)) I also hope to "recognize" in some way other Spirits that I have worked with in the past life/lives, and that I may very well work with again, in the next. I include my animal companions and guides, although I can't explain how that will happen or be.

I have only my faith to wrap myself in.

Both my parents have passed so I can't help but think about the other side, what happens to us when we go, and what meaning there is in this lifetime. When my father died, my stepmother told me she found him in a fetal position, he was crouched on the floor by the side of his bed, both feet firmly planted on the floor, with his arms wrapped around his knees and his face buried in his chest. I interpret his departure from this world to be like this: as his spirit left his aged body, it underwent a rebirth, and he entered the other side as a brand new being. Thus the Christian phrase "born again" makes perfect sense to me now as I have this new perspective of worldly death. It also gave me personal hope that there is another side to look forward to, that life here on earth is just a preparation stage for bigger and better things to come.
