Hi Ann! Thanks for sharing your views of continuing life! I do agree on most of your points and I like that you say that we "graduate" from our bodies. That's how one of our churches used to talk about someone's death. Best wishes in the contest!

I find this interesting. And thoughtful amid another world that God created for us when we die. Pondering this subject is the way of scholars and priests and other clergymen.
You have stated your case well and it is understandable and well thought out.
To me, I find what happens after we die is not worth the effort. We will know when we need to know when our time comes.
Thank you for considering this and have a nice day!
Jesse

It's a great story, one I can relate to. Life continues after death, as I know. According to my experiences, the spirits of the dead do not leave.
They are here, and if you pay attention, you will soon discover things unexplainable to others.

Nonbelievers are too numerous. You wrote a great story about awareness that I enjoyed reading. Your story is true, and I know that.

Your courage to write to us who believe is greatly appreciated. Having courage is what we have, and we do not care if others do not believe us. It is what we have experienced that we know.

A very interesting read.

I like how you describe life continues. We are spiritual beings on a human journey according to hospice. I often have felt loved ones who have passed on near me. Your essay is well written and holds the reader's interest. I like how positive you are about this subject.

I appreciate your point of view on the subject of the afterlife. When I was much younger, I pondered the subject, and probed library books for answers. My conclusion was that I had no proven way to be sure, so I should live my life according to Christian beliefs. I love your final statement, "There is no afterlife. There is only life." Best wishes in the contest.

That is really interesting, Ann, I think all of us want to believe there is more, and I do. But many don't think there is anything, just nothing. That would scare the life out of me. I enjoyed reading about your thoughts and researching this subject. Well done, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

I'm sure we have all thought long and hard about our views on the subject. There are possible many conclusions which other reach that differ from those you have reached, and I think it would be pointless for anyone to attempt to change your mind. We all need to reach a stage of being at peace with what we believe. You have expressed your opinion well and given reasons for why you believe as you do. This is a good contest entry. I think we will all know for sure at some point whether or not our conclusion is correct.
