I'm sorry to hear about this really difficult experience and the pain you're going through.  I haven't had a NDE, but i've had experience with the afterlife and with psychic stuff.  I would say the combination of those dreams, with what that psychic said being so similar, is pretty close to being what we here call a "verification" that both sources of info are true.

  Dreams are a very valid source of psychically received info or things to do with the afterlife.  Because i don't meditate as consistently or often as i should and don't put a lot of focus or effort on practicing this psychic stuff consciously, i tend to get a lot of messages via dreams and a lot of them have been verified.  Like dreaming something before it happens, and then it happens. 

  Hope this helps, and btw, if you read Bruce's site here and the articles etc. he has put up, you will see that you don't necessarily have to go to a psychic to get info about your daughter.  You can very much learn to do it yourself.  These are abilities and senses we all have within us, because we all have a nonphysical consciousness 'within' our physical bodies. 

But it's just like with exercise or weight training.  Many of us start off with these nonphysical senses and perceptions a bit weak and atrophied, and through practice we can increase their strength and clarity, just like with working out we build up our muscles and can eventually lift more and do longer work outs. 

  Perhaps three things which will help you out the most is not having preconceptions about how the info will come, be laid back and try to have fun with it--view it as a fun adventure, and practice Bruce's "remembering the feeling of Love" technique.  All of these, along with practice, will help to open up those senses and perceptions.

Hi Kasm,

I am so sorry for your loss. I am a parent of two children and can't begin to imagine losing one of them at such a young age. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I am by no means an expert on afterlife matters, but I have had near-death experiences, psychic experiences and contact with those crossed over via dreams. Until I found this board, I thought I might be a bit "out there." (smile). So, I know there is some validity in the statements made my others about what happens.

It is my understanding that our loved ones know and sense our pain regarding their passing and they don't experience time the same way we do on this plane. For this reason, what seems like "forever" to you may only be moments in her time. She may be waiting for you to feel *ready* to see her again or she may be trying to get a message to you that you didn't connect as from her.

For me, the best way to connect is to do it in dreams. You can buy a notebook and set an intention of meeting your daughter (and ONLY your daughter) asking her to come to your Higher self. It may take several tries, but I've always been able to get some kind of feedback by doing this. Keep a pen handy because you want to write down as much as you can remember when you wake up. Don't put your feet on the floor or speak to anyone before you write because the memories fade fast as soon as we are consciously aware.

Above all, don't give up hope that you will make the connection. I find it's much like life...we cross paths with those we need to meet at the perfect time in our lives when we are ready to do so. Remember, love is the only thing that never dies. The memories, the moments, the experiences with her all live inside your heart and your love for another shall remain there on this plane and across the Universe. Believe in that and you will be able to connect with her at the exact perfect time.

Kindest regards,
mj

Hi
I posted a reply at one of the other threads where you posted your message, and in that reply I suggested listening to Bob Olson's interview with Anita Moorjani.

Iam re-listening to that interview and I think even more that Anita Moorjani answers your questions more directly than anything I could postulate. Her description of what she experienced is fascinating. She is able to talk about having experiences that we don't have n this side and to explain the difficulty of expresing what she experienced. This is fascinating. I hope you are able to listen to this.

Thank you all so much for your replies I truly appreciate it.  The funny thing is that last night I dreamed of her...I don't know if posting on her help me to let go of the stress/anxiety around not "connecting" with her.  When she was here she was obsessed with dogs and in the dream she said she was working with dogs and helping to take care of them, she showed me around a little bit and introduced me to some of the dogs (which I fully remember seeing/touching).  We sat down to what seemed like lunch.  I asked her if she was happy and ok but I can't remember her answer.  I also don't remember what she looked like or what she was wearing (in fact I don't remember seeing her but I know it was her).  We were just walking and talking about the dogs.  I'm hoping this is the beginning of many connections I make with her.

This site I can already tell is full of amazing people who have already through their words helped me immeasurably.  Thank you to all who have replied...it has made a huge difference    I am very interested in learning more about this so any suggested reading ect I am completely open to...

Thank you again

Betson,

I was planning on playing around with the site tonight and drinking in as much information as I can.  I have read a few of the NDE as well as the video Lucy recommended.  I feel more solid in my beliefs of what it means to die.  I vacillate back and forth between the not knowning and the knowing (if that makes sense).  Since her passing I have been doing alot of self exploration - meditating, yoga, different views of religion ect trying to find what feels right.  I don't want her to feel stuck because of my grief so I am really trying find a way to use this to grow - which is what I feel the point of it was.  Anyways sorry to ramble...I could talk about her forever   

Maybe look at George Andersons books? They have helped me greatly in my afterlife worries.

Hes the only medium I think I truly believe.
