What Is Rainbow Bridge?, Is it good enough for you?? Options

[Punky's Mommy]

I'm sure it came from some poetry somewhere. I've never heard of it before coming here. I'd love to read the origins of this place.

But my purpose in posting is more serious. I wonder if you really believe in a Rainbow Bridge? Faith is something we adopt in order to deal with the incomprehensible. It helps people to cope. But what if relying on faith leaves you feeling shallow and deluded? I hope Punky is not at the base of a Bridge with all other animals in all time who have passed on. I do HOPE that he is up there, if it is even up, and his domain is more than the base of a Bridge, and he is content and entertained and active, knowing I will join him soon. But there is no proof of this. I am destroyed thinking there might be nothing after death. Punky is gone. He is no more. Just POOF. Just as he did not exist before his birth.

I ask, is euphemism good enough for you? Don't you feel panicked that this real world might be all there is? If you say "The Bible says it is so" then you again are relying on Faith and I go back to my original question. I've never desired faith more so than I do now, but it leaves me completely unsatisfied.

It's a level of suffering that no one talks about on this board, but I suspect many of you have wanted to.

I truely believe that our pets exist in a happy place after death and are then with us in heaven.

There is an amazing man here in England, called Gordon Smith - nicknamed the psychic barber. He is called that because he still works as a barber in Scotland and makes no money from his psychic abilities. He does readings for people and has also appeared in the US and on US and UK television doing the same, he is one of the most genuine and spiritual people I have ever met. He is able to see and speak to those who have died and communicate with them, he was born with the ability. In the UK he stands out as someone completely unique with unexplanable abilities.

I saw him do a psychic reading for a lady whose son had died. He was able to talk to the son and knew everything about him including what he looked like, his name and the way he had died even though he had never met the lady before and had no previous knowledge. Then he said, there's a little brown and white terrior beside James (her son), and asked her if the dog meant anything to her. The lady looked shocked and said that when James had been a child they had had a little brown and white terrior who was devoted to him, who had died when James was about 16 years old. eight years previous to Jame's death.

I don't have any doubt after hearing and seeing things like this that we are reunited with our babies in heaven. I don't understand what it is that Gordon can do, or how he does it, but he says he believes it is a gift that he can use to allow people to know that we do all carry on after death, animals and humans alike.
