The Accidental Tourist

http://kristyraerichardson.blogspot.com

This cancer blog is the living journal of a 37 year old NE Ohio woman diagnosed with metastatic kidney cancer in late 2007. Kristy is not a good surgical candidate, has no insurance for surgery or treatment, a prognosis of a year (perhaps two if we are quite lucky) - so the focus is now on quality of life. Come join Kristy as she faces down one of our worst fears - dying from cancer.

I have living with me an out-of-body man. His spirit is anxious and belligerent, and he has worried himself so much that he cannot move away from me. He needs help to leave and go to Heaven, and I don't know how to help him myself. I tell you this because I want to give you knowledge that there really is life after life, a God and Heaven to go to. The sky didn't design itself, and it's a beautiful design - there is sky in Heaven too. Just read any NDE accounts and you will understand.

When you get to Heaven, you will have a 'life review' - there is NO hell to go to. I wish you well in this 'dimension' and the next - in fact, I hope we meet there someday. My heart goes out to you.

My name is Josephine, and I live in Tollesbury, Essex, England.
