My husband died in June of 1974 after a long battle with Leukemia. He left behind a wife and 4 young sons. Raised a Catholic, he gradually abandoned his faith. During his illness he was feuding with his many sisters and mother over a inheritance. I pleaded with him and prayed to God that he would make peace with his family. After 13 months of illness he returned to his Catholic Faith and received absolution and died a peaceful death. The day after he died we had a mass and participated in a novena. On the Fourth of July, nine days after his death, we were having a somber birthday gathering for my second youngest son, who was too small to realize the loss of his dad. After the company had all left I found myself alone in the house while my children were in the back enjoying their holiday. Stanoding in the doorway between the dining and living rooms, I noticed that the front door was left open and was annoyed that someone had been so careless. As I began towards the door to close it, I suddenly saw my husband! I want to explain that what I saw was his shape, bathed in a radiant, amber light. He was floating about 2 ft above the floor and in my disbelief I rubbed my eyes just like they do in the movies and was amazed to see him still there. He quickly exited through the open door and into the night. I ran after him to see if maybe this was the lights of a passing car playing tricks on my vision but there was not a soul around. I was overcome by a euphoric feeling, secure in the knowledge that my husband was indeed in Heaven. How it changed my life:I am no longer afraid of dying.
