Why Movies Get the Afterlife Wrong

If most of what you know about the afterlife comes from movies, it makes sense if you’re a little nervous.

Floating spirits. Dark hallways. People getting “stuck.” Souls wandering around confused, unfinished, or lost.

It makes for good drama. It doesn’t reflect reality.

The spirit world, as I’ve experienced it, is not chaotic or frightening. It’s organized. Intelligent. Familiar. Comforting.

Souls don’t forget how to exist when they leave their bodies. They don’t wander aimlessly or miss some cosmic exit sign. They are met. Supported. Oriented.

Sometimes people confuse “staying close” with being stuck.

A loved one lingering around your energy isn’t lost. It’s love. It’s awareness. It’s choice. They know you’re grieving. They know you’re adjusting. So they stay close for a while. That's what my son did and still does.

That’s not being trapped. That’s being attentive.

The afterlife isn’t a haunted hallway. It’s not a punishment or a waiting room. It’s a return to a state that feels more natural than we expect.

And personalities don’t disappear. Humor doesn’t disappear. Opinions definitely don’t disappear.

The spirit world is calmer than Hollywood would have you believe. And far more loving.
