So I finished the book, 90 Minutes in Heaven" by Don Piper and Cecil Murphey. It really was very comforting to hear his experience of being in Heaven. The man suffered a great deal when he returned to Earth. He went through countless surgeries just to be back here on Earth with us when he would have much rather been in Heaven. I recommend it to anyone, just to read of his experience in Heaven was so intriguing.
My 3 and a half year old son has been talking about death a lot. I don't know if he over hears me sometimes or comes up with things on his own but he expressed to me the other day that he doesn't want to die. I talked to his counselor about this, "what am I supposed to tell him?" I asked her in desperation. Her recommendation was to reflect back so he knows I heard him and say "You seem really worried about dying. A lot of kids are worried about that too, but a person usually lives for a very long time until they are very old." She also told me to tell him (knowing we are a religious family) that he will be with Jesus when he dies in Heaven. I followed her advice as best I could and his come back was, "oh then I want to die so I can meet God." What do you say to that??
It was so timely that he came up with this after just reading this book. It is probably just the situation I am in, but he does make it seem so amazing that I find myself thinking I would like to go to heaven, There is no suffering there and you get to be with God.
