Lisa,
You can be assured that your pain will end when you die and you will have your body restored to the perfect health you once had.

There are several verses in the Bible to support this. unfortunately, I'm not great at quoting scripture yet (I'm a Christian Studies major) but Romans 12:12 says "be joyful in hope,patient in affliction,faithful in prayer". I see that as one of God';s way of telling us to have hope and be faithful that our afflictions wlll be gone when we die and reach Heaven.

My idea of Heaven has always been a big grassy field where I run through the cool grass, able to feel the coolness with the feet which had peripheral neuropathy and able to run when I could barely walk when I was alive, pain-free.

Picture yourself in Heaven, doing what you want to do that you can't do now. Have faith and please believe that God sees our suffering and we'll be rewarded for it.

That's what keeps me going on days like today.
I hope this helps!

As a spiritual person, and have always had the knowledge of the afterlife and spiritual worlds and also have died over 5 times already, the answer is simply, our physical pain is left behind. We only carry emotional pain with us, if it has not been dealt with in the physical. Yet those emotional pains are easier to deal with over there, although it takes longer over there since there is endless distractions. Every time i have died it was beyond beautiful. Just don't think of suicide, you'll find yourself in a whole different place, very, very nasty, I've been there too. I could write a small book on this, but I'll leave it there, hope this helps, Blaine

the only pain I know of in afterlife is HELL if you lived against the way of Christ....and were not saved into eternal life with Christ....but that is just a christian thought and there are other ways of looking toward afterlife....I guess it will not be known until our number is up!

Good to hear that it is thought that we'll leave our physical pain behind--I really hope so...although, I will probably live for 60 more years, so that is a very long time to wait. Although pain meds have helped so far.

Blaine, your experiences are really interesting and something I was hoping to hear--except for the experience where it's not a good place when taking your life is attempted. But still very interesting, and I think you should write an e-book about your experiences! I think many would want to read it!

I agree with Lisa, Blaine. you should consider writing a book about your experiences with the afterlife.

my mom cardiac arrested 4 times after her near-fatal car accident and she said at one point she saw my grandmother who said it wasn't her time yet. She said it was so beautiful, with bright colors and warm and most importantly, no pain.

It changed my spirituality forever after I heard her talk about her experience.i don't have any plans on dying for the next few years but at least I'm not afraid of dying.

I actually did write a book back when i was around 17, but i only knew a fraction of what i know now. I plucked away on a typewriter and it was over 400 pages long. Then i set it on fire during a "dark moment" I was having at the time. Oh well. Yet have been thinking about it, but i would prefer it to be a more question and answer book since i love helping people on the trail to spirituality. Maybe a blog? I'm still fairly new to all this web stuff and am still learning, so it's possible.

I've heard of people writing e-books, like for kindle, and selling them for a couple bucks per download. I think a lot of people would find it interesting. It is one thing for someone to "believe" what happens after you die, but quite another for someone to have actually entered the other side, especially multiple times.

The only thing I'd have a hard time accepting is that those who choose to end their lives going to a different and miserable place. In Chicago, we've had a bunch of good people jump in front of trains because they are in emotional anguish, and I just think it would be very cruel to send someone who has already suffered so much to some sort of hell. And also, where is the line drawn? What if someone has a terminal illness and is allowed to take something to hasten the inevitable? Is that suicide? Well, anyway, I guess we'll all just have to wait and see. I am happy to hear that someone has experienced a small taste of what comes after life and that it's (usually) wonderful.

I guess i should explain suicides a little better as i understand. Basically when a person takes their life the first thing they experience is the guilt and shame, it's those two things that turn the tunnel of light into one of darkness, complete with their own pain they were trying to escape. Yet nothing is forever, once that person has accepted what they have done and is a peace with themselves, then they go into the light, There are also many Angelic beings whose sole purpose is to go into that darkness and help those people to move on. As for a terminally ill person, if that is what they truly want and is at total peace with themselves and this act, then the light also awaits them. This scenario happened to me last time I crossed over, sorry I don't share that one, most people go, yah right, but i know different. So I hope i have lightened your concerns, We are looked after over there as we are often looked after over here, we just have to be willing to except that help. Like they say Let Go, Let God. Think I better lay low for awhile now LOL, Blaine

Thanks for sharing your story Blaine. This is good to hear and I hope it comes true when it's our time.
