Do you believe in an afterlife?

I'm honestly torn on the issue. I lost the love of my life to cancer, but we made an agreement before she died. If possible, she would reach out to me, and I would know it's her because we have a word that she'll use. It's been years now, and I've yet to see or hear that word. I've lost confidence that I ever will.

Assume for a minute that she is in Heaven or some spiritual world now. Time must be completely different there. Maybe it just isn't possible for her to reach out to you, because you are in completely different dimensions. But if it is possible, she may just not realize that years have gone by. It may be mere moments from her perspective. I think you should keep your faith in the afterlife, and especially your faith in her.

@ServantOfTheGoddess I know this sounds ridiculous, but I hear stories of people saying that a deceased person reached out to them, and whether I believe it or not, I get angry at times. Why can't that be me? Like you said, we don't understand everything. You may be right about the time difference. This is all part of losing someone.
