		<description>Nothing of you will remain when you expire. Let me re-iterate nothing will remain once you go. You come from nothing and go to back to nothing. It&#039;s the fear of death and that&#039;s why people keep having these thoughts, about life after death. At the end of the day it&#039;s all fairy-tales.</description>

		<description>I almost can&#039;t believe I am writing this. At 14 years old, there should not be much about death that would bother me.
However, there is.
About two years, my grandfather was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and died about a year after. I have also recently began a relationship with a girl I have known for almost a year now.
These two experiences have made me wonder about life and death and what lies beyond life. 
For me, reincarnation is very suspect subject. I was raised as a reform Jew, but still taught heavily with the values of mitzvot (good deeds) and going to heaven in the thoughts of all people. With this knowledge, I tried to always keep my grandfather in mind. I figured that with all these good memories of him, I was certainly keeping him in heaven.
I soon learned otherwise.
My epiphany, if you will, happened in my grandfathers favorite bathroom in his house. I was there for the unveiling of his tombstone and had decided I would stay at the house rather then at a hotel to make my grandmother happy. I have vivid memories as a child of that bathroom. It was a small room with almost all mirrored walls and I small glass shower enclosure and a toilet. My grandfather would sit there for hours on the toilet reading TIME, Buisness Week, and even the occasional Maxim. Now, as I walked in, the bathroom had been stripped down. No more magazines. No more shower gels or random shampoos. I sat in the shower sullenly for close to thirty minutes. When I looked up from my washing, I saw my grandfather sitting on the toilet. I have never been sure if he saw me there. He kept saying &quot;Only look for the child&quot;. I left the shower confused and upset. A week later, my cousin finally had her baby. The baby was a boy and named him after my grandfather, Howard. Since then, Howard has grown to be an intelligent, playful two year old. I see my grandfather in that kid every time I see him.
Through these experiences, I have come to accept that our real fate may be to be reborn again.

Thank you Mary,

		<description>I had a son that passed away five years ago.He was extremely close to me.About the fourth day after he passed I was sitting in the kitchen having coffee when all of a sudden I started smelling him. I asked he&#039;s dad do you smell that   ? He said I don&#039;t smell anything. Anyway the smell stayed with me for  four months off and on. The years have passed and I have never smelled him again. Even after all these years the pain of losing him has never gone away.I know someday I will see him again.People don;t believe me but I swear it&#039;s true.</description>

		<description>I believe that De&#039;javue is not just a coincident, but a memory of a life past.  There are just too many things in this life that I have seen, that I know in my heart are from past lives.  I also know that when I&#039;m done with this lifetime I&#039;ll be back because there are lessons still to be learned much to my dismay.  I feel that it clears up a lot of questions in life if you believe that once you get it right you don&#039;t have to come back, hence the death of children, their early death is not to hurt or punish them but to help others learn the lessons they were sent back to learn.  For most forgiveness, acceptance, and patience are some of the most difficult ones to learn.  I also believe that earth is hell where all the sins are, murder, drugs, rapes, abuse etc...  Once you are free of here you are free to explore a life or after life of serenity....</description>

		<description>Dear CJ , you have been through a terrible tragedy.
As suffering human beings we try to make sense of a catastrophe. And because we can&#039;t, we start to blame ourselves, like you do: &quot;I feel as though it must have been us that weren’t good enough that he had to leave us and come back so soon.&quot;

It&#039;s obvious from your comment that you have been loving parents to your son. You did the best you could - and then the accident happened. Please don&#039;t make your terrible burden any worse by adding a sense of guilt!

You ask whether your son has been reincarnated. I don&#039;t know. Nobody can know - because the veil of death prevents us from seeing what lies beyond. I have my doubts whether visiting mediums will ultimately help you to heal from this terrible grief.

Maybe there is another way:

One way to honor your son is to plant something in your garden - or in a pot - that he would have enjoyed and go through a simple ceremony dedicating it to him.

Another way is to continue his legacy. He was obviously a very thoughtful and wise person. And reading your comment, I can see where he got that from!
Maybe you could start a blog to suppot other parents on their healing journey. You have much to give - don&#039;t waste it!

I send you my heartfelt regards. Thank you for sharing your painful story with us, Carol.

		<description>Hi... I have been searching the internet lately for topics on reincarnation and I found this one.  After reading some of the posts, I feel as though this is a great place to pose my comments/questions.  Our only child/son, passed away at the age of 21 on 9/3/02.  He was an amazing old soul and taught our family so much about life... .way more than we taught him.  He was a philosophy major in college and would write the most profound papers... they were amazing... I never knew how he knew the stuff he wrote about.  

Anyway, he was a passenger in a serious car accident in 2000 and while he never said, I am pretty certain he had a near death experience.  His four right fingers were amputated and he had to have skin grafts on his right leg.  His injuries didn&#039;t stop him and continued to work, etc., although he was different.  He seemed to start drinking more... and would often make comments about wanting to go home... which at first, I thought he wanted to leave college!!  DUH! 

The weekend he passed, my husband and I went to see him at our little beach house, where he was living while going to college.  When we got there, he had already started drinking, which I think he did because he had such a hard time living in this world.  He would get so angry at the news and always say that he couldn&#039;t understand how people could treat each other so badly... he would always say... people don&#039;t get it... we are all connected!!!  We got into an argument about his drinking and he started crying.  He said to me... &quot;You don&#039;t understand... I just want to go home... &quot;  Then... I knew what he meant...   Naturally, I was worried about him and immediately thought he may be thinking about suicide.  I said to him.. you would never ... and he said &quot;No, mom... I would never do anything to hurt myself... but I was supposed to accomplish a lot in this lifetime and I screwed up.... but it&#039;s ok... I&#039;m going to come back and get it right.&quot;  Not knowing what to say through my sobbing, we hugged and cried together... The next morning, he never mentioned anything about it so I thought maybe it was just the alcohol... We spent the next two days together and had a great weekend... We left on Monday evening and he called us when we got home.  I told him to call me the next day (his first day of his senior year) and let me know how his classes went and he said he would.

The next morning I woke up and did not feel well at all.  I went into work late and left early.  After several calls home and other things that were so well orchestrated by a much higher power than I could imagine, the police came to our home and told us that our son had drowned.  We immediately thought it was deliberate, however, the Medical Examiner called us and told us that he had suffered a head injury... probably while surfing ... and was knocked unconscious and drowned.  

Needless to say we were devastated... he was our life... our best friend... our teacher... and now he was gone.  We went to see several mediums because we wanted to know for sure whether it was an accident or not.  Every person we saw told us that it was a tragic accident... HOWEVER... he wanted to return home and &quot;God&quot; answered his prayers.

Then, about 6 months ago, I went to see a person I see one a year... she is fabulous as a medium and also all around great person.  She had told me once before that our son had a chance to reincarnate... but never said anything more.  Then six months ago, she told me he was back.  He was born ... possibly on the day he passed... (9/3)... and his mom is a very young single mom.  She said that he would come back into our lives.. mainly for me to help him accomplish what he came to do in this life.  She told me that he is supposed to do great things ... especially in the coming years.  Then, last week I saw a friend that also can communicate with the other side and she told me the same thing... that he was reborn... and also said that it was a young single mother.  She also said that we would meet her and as soon as I saw the baby, I would know it was our son.... At first, it didn&#039;t bother me... but the more I think about it... it does bother me.  I feel as though it must have been us that weren&#039;t good enough that he had to leave us and come back so soon.  I believe in reincarnation but never gave it a whole lot of thought... and now two people tell me our son is reincarnated... within 7 years!!  Has anyone ever heard of this before?  I would love to hear if you have.  Thanks so much for listening and sorry I ranted.  Have a great week...</description>

		<description>hi 
There is no God except allah and Mohammamed is his final prophet and messenger.
dont think about reincarnation or nothing not mentioned by islam. These kind of experiences are  created by shaithan (iblees), inorder to change muslims mind and to through them into hell. in islamic view life after death is very clear, mentioned by prophet 
that all persons should have questioning regarding his knowledge of GOD, messengers etc after death.
and on the day of judgement each and every seconds of our life is checked and questioned it longs several thousands of years .if you are a beliver and succeeded go to heaven and not to hell</description>

dont think about reincarnation or nothing not mentioned by islam. These kind of experiences are  created by shaithan (iblees), inorder to change muslims mind and to through them into hell. in islamic view life after death is very clear, mentioned by prophet<br />
that all persons should have questioning regarding his knowledge of GOD, messengers etc after death.<br />
and on the day of judgement each and every seconds of our life is checked and questioned it longs several thousands of years .if you are a beliver and succeeded go to heaven and not to hell</p>
