Do you hear the voices in your head? When you close your eyes can you feel someone else there? Do you wonder what happens when people die? Do you have the dream of seeing someone you know that has died for one last time with life inside of them?

My name is Tammy and I live in a little village called Sherwood, Ohio. I am just like you who read this now. I am sure that everyone has wanted to turn back time. To touch that special person that has passed away one more time. To say all the things you wished you could have said. I have known people in my life that have passed. Three were friends of mine all of whom died in car accidents within the past five years. An uncle and a grandfather that has died just within the past two years. Finding out that each one died in different ways yet the pain inside was all the same. The questions of where they are or what happened to them filled my head a lot. I started to try and find answers to my questions. I know these questions are what you all have asked yourselves. For some reason a lot of people don't like to talk about these things.

I watched my grandfather as he died. Each week I watched as he began to drift farther and farther away from us. He was dying of cancer and he was in some obvious pain, screaming and fighting for the only life he knew existed.

My family all knew that he was dying, my grandfather even knew. Yet did anyone of us actually talk about it..No. When he died he was surrounded by his children their wives and my grandmother. He fell asleep as my mother held his hand. After awhile he just stopped breathing. But I know that he could feel his family there. I was'nt there that day, but I loved my grandfather very much. It was hard for me to admit to myself that he was gonna die. When he did the pain inside of me was stronger than I thought it would be. But after the phone call I received that he died, I went outside alone to cry. He was there beside me, he spoke words of comfort. The tears wouldn't stop but I knew than that he would always be here with me. He gave me that knowing inside.

Just the memory of that day makes me shake . I knew that my grandfather was right there with me that day. I didn't really know what to make of it. My mother and I was talking one day soon after the funeral on the phone and she was telling me about something that happened that night when they came home.

My parents went to bed and of course they were upset because my fathers father died. But it was than that they were sitting up in bed when a teddy bear of my moms went flying off of their dresser. She said they knew that my grandfather was there. They too had a comfort and was able to go to sleep that night.

I never really thought twice about it until recently. There was a sixteen year old that I knew that had just died. It was again a death that I had to deal with inside. There were times I could feel him with me. And I knew that I had to know than where do they all go when they die? I needed to know to be able to go on in life. I just had to have that peace inside of me.

I began to read everything I could on anything that dealt with dying or death. I went to different religions trying to find the answer.

Than it hit me one night, I decided to try something to help me reach where I wanted to go. I got a mirror and placed it on the floor in front of me. My chair was one of them recliners that let me relax. I placed a candle on the table beside of me, making sure it reflected in the mirror. I found some soft playing music and let it play as I focused on the candles light in the mirror. This is a journey I want to share with you all, because it has changed my life. I don't know how to explain what happened besides just as I seen it. It was a night I had an Out Of Body Experiance.

Imagine if you will staring at that candle in the mirror. I watched as the candle began to look like a bright white light. I focused on that as I started to watch the light getting closer to me. I seen images of grey or black with one in front, two behind him and than three and so on. I am not sure how many there was, but my focus was on the one in front leading them all towards me. They walked with a steady pace as I watched the one in front appear to be right in front of my face. I started to freak out because this was something that I couldn't imagine actually happening.

That's when I opened my eyes and said Oh my God. I sat there wondering what it was I actually saw, or if I just thought I seen something. And than I thought dang I am going nuts. I went to bed than just thinking about what I had saw. I knew what I had seen, and there was no way that I could talk myself into saying that I seen nothing.

It was then that I had feel asleep. But I was seeing than what I seen before I opened my eyes in my chair. I was being lead down the tunnel towards the light that I had seen in the mirror. I was standing in front of these images. They wouldn't show themselves to me again. I am thinking it was because of how freaked out I got before. So I wasn't focusing on who it actually was behind me.

Although I do have the strong feeling that it was those that I have missed that have passed on. They came together to show me the one thing that I have asked for. I tried to reach them for so long. I would talk to them in my thoughts or think of them when I listened to music or was somewhere that reminded me of them. They reached me that night giving me the peace and knowing I would see them again.

When you die it's only the physical side that leaves you. The soul that is inside lives on. God tried to get us all to see it when he wrote his words in the Bible. But it's only the few who search and can use it for good see and knows. You all have it inside of you for God has placed love in all of us and that is what God is all about. Our soul is on a neverending journey.

Coming to earth is apart of the cycle of life. When we die we all go to a higher place, we learn there in heaven just as we did on earth. It's a journey of the all knowing. Free will is something that God has given all of us and we choose how we want to live our life. That free will goes with us when our soul travels. Heaven has many gifts to offer us. We learn what the whole purpose is. We see what eternity is. We feel overwhelming love and compassion inside. It's something that noone can explain: life. They showed me that night.

You can choose where you wanna go or how far you wanna travel in heaven. You can go back again and live on earth all over again. You choose who you want to be your mother and father. You learn from everything you ever go through. They are here right now as I am telling you, guiding me to say the right things and touching your soul right now. Do you hear the voices in your head? Do you want to see what they have been wanting to show you? Whomever that might be they have been there this whole time trying to reach you. It took me, Tammy to show you all what you can truely see. Don't let the doubt control your mind. This is something that noone can explain. It's not meant to be explained I dont think. It's just you wanting and needing to know and reaching out. They are there, can you feel them. Waiting there in the darkness. I never thought I could have this happen in my life. But it's something I will never forget. I will go on telling my story, with many laughing and doubting. Open your eyes and face what's true.
