My young son asked today what happens when people die. I replied honestly that I do not know and asked what he thought. He said he thinks that people are born again and that next time I'm born I need to make sure I remember my old family so it won't take me so long to do my family tree. Hmmmmmmmm! Angela

Denis Yes - he's 5 going on 25. He also gave me a few months ago the full names of his mother, father, brother and sisters in Scotland from "before he was born". We don't live in Scotland and have never taken him there. I have been too nervous to try to verify them as yet but have kept a note and will look into it one day!!!

Sandra/Daphne Thanks. I have promised myself I will look into it but will wait until I'm ready. I have personally had a number of strange experiences (mentioned on other threads so I won't bore people again) and so would not be at all surprised if my son has remembered something. Another issue is that I haven't said here the details of what he thinks he has remembered because they are not all pleasant - which is why I am taking my time over pursuing them. I will definitely share what we discover as and when we do research them. Angela

Angela, My son is nearly six and ever since he started talking he has always told me about his 'other' mum and dad and brothers. Id love to find out about them if only he gave me some names! His attitude is almost 'matter of fact' with what happens after we die....we come back as someone els. Something he said the other day about my friends baby boy....Ive always liked Danny he should have been born to you really but it's too late now!!!!! Sheila

Sheila That's lovely. I miscarried once and would love to think my baby's soul found a home in another child! Angela

Angela If you have some time to spare, have a look at the thread LIFE AFTER DEATH - HOW MANY BELIEVE. Ask Tracy, the originator, why she believes in re-incarnation. Len
