- 58 - with our world. This is very good, because now you know that you will not die, but live, and live a life that is, in the true sense of the word, the only real life. What you call “life” on Earth does not deserve this name. It is but a preparation for the true life that makes an appearance here when what you thought was life, has come to an end. I am therefore pleased that you are informed about this and that you no longer have to fear dying. I unfortunately didn’t know about this. This is why I dreaded dying and when it happened, I didn’t have the consolation that you were given. I doubted whether something else would happen, because I had not much concerned myself with the heavenly world that priests had proclaimed. This is why I was very unhappy when death’s hand reached out for me. These were really not the happiest hours and my fears that everything had come to an end forever, were great. When I closed my eyes I immediately discovered that life continued. I recognised my husband who sat on my bed and who seemed very sad. I could clearly see my body lying immobile in bed. I also heard A. (her husband) helplessly crying, asking whether this was the end, because he always thought that I would get healthy again. I saw the whole room with its furnishings, everything exactly as I knew it. But everything disappeared in an instant and I found myself in a completely different environment. Bright light shone around me and I saw a friendly figure in a luminous garment. It was my guardian angel, someone I had never had an inkling about, because I never dealt with these sorts of things. He told me that I was now in the other world and I soon recognised that this was true. I was alive and my body also shone like that of my guardian angel, not as bright but rather very faint. Dressed in a less luminous garment, I found myself in a wonderful, beautiful region. A radiant sky smiled above me, like on a beautiful, warm summer day on Earth, but more radiant and brighter. I saw people like on Earth, but all of them wore luminous garments. It looked like a festive event. We walked past blossoming gardens that offered a beautiful view with all their colourful flowers. I then saw houses and they were also lucent. I was so confused that I thought I was dreaming and that everything would disappear at any moment. My guardian angel then led me to a house. They greeted me with great friendliness and my guardian angel told me that this was now my home. A glorious period of rest awaited me here. It lasted quite some time and the refreshing thing about this time seemed very precious to me, something I had never experienced on Earth. It cannot be described. One has to experience it. I rested surrounded with love and ministration, something that I had never experienced on Earth. I still thought that everything could just be a dream and that I would wake up in my bed in S. street. It finally dawned on me that I was in a new world and my happiness knew no bounds. I cannot describe how I felt once I had realised this. I rested in a room that was completely festooned with flowers. The window were wide open and I could see a glorious landscape with mountains and hills, fields and meadows and also lots of buildings therein, building one also sees on Earth, but everything was much more beautiful. I could also hear people talking and singing, as one hears on Earth when happy people are gathered together. They looked so happy and so heavenly beautiful, something I had never thought possible. I remained in this house for a long time and I soon had my first visitor. It was my dear mother who greeted me first. My father and my siblings then also turned up. Others came later, when they had the permission to do so, because the resting should not receive too many visitors, because they are there to rest. It was a joyful reunion, something I cannot describe! After some time had passed, I was led to a new house and told that this was my abode. I could furnish it according to my wishes, according to my taste. This I did and
