Angela - I didn’t get notification if this message either! I’ll have to find out what’s going on with that . Usually I get an email notification. I get what you’re saying about your moms reaction because my husband same way, I find myself trying to hide my sadness from him sometimes. I am religious and do believe in the afterlife. I was just talking to my sister today about it. My mom died on thanksgiving day a year ago - 2021. My sister was with her when she passed. She said my mom was talking to her father (my grandfather) and saying no she couldn’t go. She was speaking in Flemish - her first language - her parents were from Belgium. Then at one point near the end she opened her eyes and looked up toward the ceiling and pointed upwards. My sister asked her what she was looking at but she didn’t respond. We believe that angels were present. I know of other stories too. My first husband name was Jim. A few years after he died his grandma died and as she was transitioning, she was talking to Jim like he was in the room. So sad 😞 I almost started bawling talking about my mom but my sister assured me it’s a good thing not a bad thing. But like you, I don’t want to go yet either. I’ve been “getting my affairs in order” and it’s adding to my stress.
