Do you believe in life after death?

I didn't used to but it appears Metaphysics and science may have started shaking hands on this idea. Any thoughts?

Yes. I believe in a 2nd chance to meet our loved ones who left us.
@SW-User In hospice care it has been observed that the dying often are "visited" by dead relatives shortly before they die. I'm an atheist but after I read about Steve Jobs last words, I've been a bit more thoughtful. He said "Oh WOW, Oh wow!" (I wonder what he saw)

@Grateful4you When people are dying, peoples brains aren't functioning normally and they tend to see things or think they experienced things that they didn't.
@Redstar A valid point and one held by many scientists I can't disagree.

@Grateful4you i was with my grandmother when she passed
In Hospice..

She had shown deceased on all heart monitors
Yet...one could see very shallow breathing for at least 10 mins
Yet...she Stopped talking to me orr others...like she couldnt hear or see us

My g4andmother was speaking
But to other family members who had passed years prior
She was both happy and surprised to see them

Yet...there was No one else in the room

I was Glad she was Happy and Excited

Additionally
As a Todler i was Rushed to the Hospital
Given CPR in route...

Though i was revived...so too i needed an extended stay
To cope with recovery from Viral Encephalitis

Over a decade later
In Crazy and looking back Dangerous 2 am boat sking/ truck tubing
I got lost under the tube and nearly drowned
Though in reality had a near death experience
Having had risennabove my body..
Saw my body remain drowned as i rose past the clouds
Fininally saw this light tunel of clouds
This all seemed Quite familiar
( from my Encephalitis as a 15 month old todler )
I was met by a women...( a grand mother or aunt )
Told wasnt my time
I needed to go back to face it ( face what i wish i could of asked..lol)

Bang...instantly being draggged by my friends boat and again actively drowning
When..a female voice ( same as seconnds before ) told me
Dont fight it...You will be "ok"

So as i Stopped Struggling..
I Instantly Popped up to the top of the surface
Out from under the truck tube and finally i could grasp air

As my friends then pulled me from the water
The tow rope was bound around and into my wrists
So tightly..they were bloodly
In slowl6 undoing the tow rope...my wrists were deeply gashed
My friend said he should take me to hospital
I declined...Saying i was Told i will be Ok

I was helped to my house 2 blocks away
8-10 hours later...my friends stopped by to check up on me
In waking me...i said..i feel fine
My friend reached for my hands
Turning them over and looking upon my wrists

Where are the cuts...what happened to them he asked
I said..i Told you..8 was Told it would be ok
And i was just fine
