Nurses of Reddit, do you think death is the end of us?

No I don't. There's so much about life that we don't understand / won't until we're not here anymore. That being said, I'm a new grad nurse and haven't had much patient experience, but I have had my own personal experiences that have led me to this belief.

In my college job, I had a regular customer that I ended up having a lot of conversations with about spirits of people who have passed on, past lives, etc. She told me stories of how she would be able to receive messages from loved ones who passed on for her friends and what not. Nothing was ever on command, and I never asked her if I had anyone around me who had messages for me. After a few months, she had waited after her appt to talk to me but I was busy with checking other customers in, so she wrote me a little note on a torn off piece of a bank deposit slip that read "text me, (her number), and who is Robert?" My father's father was named Robert and died before I was born, so I had to call my dad to verify that was his name. She told me that he kept saying "that's my granddaughter, that's my granddaughter" and she finally figured out that it was him. She was able to tell me that she knew there was another Robert in my family that when mentioned, my grandfather shook his head and didn't want to talk about it. My dad's brother is also Robert, the one mentioned, and is kind of the black sheep of the family. He never got along with my grandfather and didn't get along with my family now. She told me he was proud of me and that he was there if I needed to call on him. She had no way of knowing who I was nor my family considering I don't live where my dad grew up or where my grandfather lived.

There's been a ton of experiences in my family, but this one was mine and it blew my mind. I know that death isn't the end of us because there's too much evidence showing that it isn't. Grew up Catholic, but can't say that I believe Heaven is a destination. There's too much that we don't know about life
