Today I played and sang for a family from
California. I had a long, interesting conversation with the patient’s adult son, Tim. He told me his sister drowned when she was 19 years old while swimming off the coast of
Maui. They believe she was caught in a rip tide. After her death, Tim was having very vivid dreams at night. She came to him in a dream and said, "Tell everyone not to be afraid of dying. It is so joyful and beautiful here!" When he returned to school, Tim became closer to a friend, Mark, whose father had drowned the year before. One day, Mark went swimming off the coast of northern
California and found himself caught in a rip tide that was dragging him toward some jagged rocks. The waves were crashing against the rocks and he was sure he would be killed. He swam with all his might to break free, but his muscles began to cramp and he started to go under and swallow water. Suddenly, a woman appeared to Mark and told him to let himself be swept to the rocks; that he would not be injured. Having no other choice, he allowed himself to be thrown upon he rocks, but miraculously escaped with only a few minor cuts and bruises. Excitedly, Mark reported this incident to Tim. “Can I see a picture of your sister?” he asked. As Tim showed the photo of his sister, Mark said, “That is the person who appeared to me!” All night my brother, Scott, knew he was dying and was in terrible pain. He had become blind from kidney failure. He drifted in an out of sleep. Each time he woke he would tell me something else about his journey. First he told me, “No one dies alone. Each person is sent a friend or relative from their life (who has gone before them) to be with them. Grandma Stull is standing in the corner.” The next time Scott woke he informed me he had been going through a tunnel toward a bright light. Then he slept. Upon awaking he said, “I can feel the warmth of the light now.” Later he woke and said, “I can see again and I don’t have anymore pain!” Then he rolled his head from one side to the other and his eyes shot open. He beamed and exclaimed, “It’s so beautiful there!” With that he was gone. But his experience has become my way to minister. I help with funerals at our church and when I see someone having a difficult time, I share my story with them. What a joy it is to see their entire countenance change from despair to confidence. Learn the truth about dying, and find the joy of living!
