I most definitely believe!! I have had proof. When I was with my aunt as she was dying....just at the point where she was going....my Mom who had been gone for many years came into the room!! The only way I can describe it in human terms was it felt like liquid unconditional Love was being poured from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet...and just as it left my feet I heard a Whoosh...and my Mom was gone.....and my aunt breathed her last breath. There was so much more to it....it was such a profoundly beautiful spiritual experience. No one could ever convince me that there is not a beautiful afterlife!!
