I've always had the impression that in that kind of circumstance it would be so quick you wouldn't have time to properly process it and thus no it wouldn't affect you. Sadly this kind spoils the classical ghostly images of'headless horsemen' lol.

I really doubt that you look in the afterlife like you did when you died. From what I understand, most souls, when they show themselves to those still alive, revert back to how they looked when they were at their most fit. Perhaps some stand-up comedians choose to appear headless and whatnot, but I doubt it's the norm.

John seemed to be back "in shape" the first time I communicated with him after his death.  However, he was in a coma for two weeks, and in and out of his body (when you've slept with a man for almost twenty years, you know when you touch him whether he's "in there" or not...).

Jesus said,this body,our present earth bodys,must put,add,imortality.

I believe, from my readings that Betson and Alyssia are correct.  It is true that in spirit we are not bound by physical bodies.........that is unless we believe we are.  Some wounds, burns, etc, are deeply imprinted on our thoughts, and therefore, when those people die, the spirit body may form a corresponding wound or injury. 

I have heard talk of "hospitals" in focus 27, where people recuperate in the spirit body.  Obviously, they are really recuperating in their mind, but aren't quite ready yet to realize that in spirit, we can be whole again. 

All that being said, I believe that most wounds heal rather quickly, once we "get it," though I've often wondered with birthmarks, port wine stains, etc, whether or not a person may have carried a reminder of the deep wound or injury with them to the next life.  Of course, on a scientific basis, birthmarks are merely a deposition of melanin and pigment that comes about both by genetic and random processes...

Upon remembering this visitation I realize that there were actually 3 separate verifications in this case.
I do not go into details because I protect privacy here.

1) The leisure activity mentioned was not previously known by me; however, I identified the specific activity and the specific characteristics of the location (i.e. setting). When I reported this, I was told that a special ceremony was conducted by the family at the memorial at the exact spot at which this activity normally occurred. I do not know these people and they live in another part of the country.

2) I had a reasonable vision in answer to a direct question given me by the bereaved family member. The pictorial content matched the answer and was extremely unexpected, in fact, impossible for me to ever guess. The bereaved acknowledged this fact, independently of me, after my report.

3) Although I did not inform the bereaved, I was given the reason for the suicide. When the bereaved mentioned this later, I verified that I had received this information previously.

Because this type of meditation, at the time, was not an activity that I normally do, but because I was experimenting with an open heart, in response to a specific request, I believe I was given accurate information. You be the judge.
