Heaven Is Real

In 1971 my wife, a nursing aid at the time, working in small city hospital, experienced a most remarkable event. She went on to College, graduated and became an RN. She through the years went through the ranks and retired as a Nursing Supervisor of a very large Hospital. Judith my wife shared a wonderful story with me, that I had to share for all to hear. When she started her career in 1971. She shared an event that left her speechless. While caring for eighteen patients on the three to eleven shift, she was making her rounds. On a twelve bed ward, one of her patients, she was caring for yelled, "OH MY GOD IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!" My wife turned and witnessed her patient from a laying position, spring up saying those words. Judith ran to her, to see what was going on with her. Her patient then fell back on the bed. When Judith got there at that moment. Her patient had past away. My friends Heaven Is Real... Michael Tor

I love your true stories, Michael. Thank your precious wife for her service. Her memory of the patient gave me a chill, some even say they see the spirit leave the body! Que vayan con Dios!

When my nana was poorly and near the end, and we all were by her bed, she said her husband and Mum and Dad had been to see her and were waiting, she then said but i had to say goodbye to you all too but i have to go soon as my Matt (Her husband, passed away in 1980) was waiting and her Mum and Dad who had passed way way before, i truely believe like in the film 'City of Angels', you are not alone when you go, and that the people you love are literally by your side, the living can't see them

Thank you for sharing this. Have heard accounts similar to this before. A few days before my Dad passed away he asked me if I could hear the singing he was hearing. He said it was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. He had also been seeing my Mom and his sister who had passed several years earlier. Some who visited him, told him he was imagining what he saw/heard. I couldn't do that when he asked if I could hear the singing, I just told him it wasn't my time to hear it.

Thank you Harry. Yes when were young we feel invincible as we get latter in years we reflect more on our lives, were more aware of loosing friends, family members and we start thinking of our own health and well being.When Judy shared this, I was just amazed at what happened. Hope you are well my friend, thanks for stopping by Harry.

Beautiful story Michael, I've heard stories like that and I have no reason to disbelieve them. Yes, heaven is real Tom

Tom it is incredible dying people have these experiences. My next door neighbor fell and ended up in the hospital. When my dad and I visited him in the hospital he was seeing family members. He was telling me and my dad that they were all around him. When we left the hospital shortly after he passed. I think so to Tom.

Michael, what a beautiful story of faith. A week before my mother died, she kept seeing her brother who went before her. It was like God sending him to show her the way home as he always did. Thank you for sharing this "blessed assurance."

Michael Tor

Thank you Sam for sharing such a wonderful story of our Lord letting our love ones know before passing that they will be there to greet them and not to worry. He certainly showed her the way home...

I have heard similar stories to this one, It is not really proof (by itself, since the person could also have been dreaming or delirious), but if it happens enough time, where you hear of more and more people talking as if they see behind the veil and then just dying, you have to start to realize there is something to it! I too have heard numerous such stories. It must ve a marvelous thing to witness.

Never too busy for you, Michael! I hope you are doing well this weekend. I hope to do a few chores, write and walk the dog, all within three hours??? Oh my!

Hi Andrea. Yes in order to be certain it was Heaven you would have to be that woman to know. I guess her excitement to see what she saw and then right after this vision dying to me says it was Heaven because there is a heaven and I know in my heart that is what she saw. You have heard the stories too. Heaven must be beautiful. Hopefully some day we will find out and who knows we might be screaming like this woman... Thanks for visiting Andrea I know your always super busy and I appreciate your comment. Sincerely Michael
