Stepping Into The Afterlife
People often ask me, “what happens when you die?” It’s not surprising that they’d want to know. Death is something that inevitably happens to every one of us, but you can’t go on Travel Channel and watch a tour of Heaven before you go.
I find that most people tell me that they are fearful of dying, mostly because they just don’t know what to expect. Even if you DID know what to expect, it’s still kind of scary for most people to think about dying themselves or losing a loved one – so let’s make this less stressful. Try to exclude the word “death” and substitute it for “transition.” Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s ask “What happens when you transition?”
As a psychic medium, I’ve connected with countless souls in Heaven, and based on what they’ve shared, I have a good understanding of the first actions that happen when a soul crosses over.
Passing Over
When someone passes from old age or illness, they’re surrounded by their loved ones – and not just the living ones. Souls of their own dearly departed visit them and prepare them for the transition. But there’s not always time for that. When death is sudden, like a car accident, the transition is instant.
Many souls tell me that dying suddenly was like going to sleep – except they fell asleep on earth and woke up on the other side. It’s like when you were a little kid and fell asleep in the car. Your dad would carry you into the house and you’d magically wake up in your bed. For some it’s like that – they close their eyes and open them in Heaven.
The Life Review
You’ve probably heard mediums talk about the life review. It’s a soul’s way of transitioning from one life to the next and revisiting the lessons they learned on earth. It’s kind of amazing, because during the life review, the soul sees every action, relationship, and experience through their new, heavenly “filter.” They see the love they shared and the impact they had on others. The life review allows the soul to leave all the pain, illness and hurt that they might have experienced in life behind and truly understand their life’s purpose.
A Heavenly Reunion
When you are about to pass, angels, loved ones, and pets who are already on the Other Side will help guide you through the transition. Some of them arrive early, and that’s the reason many people appear to see loved ones and have conversations with them before they die. I know this because of my connection with souls on the other side, but people who have had a near death experience will tell you the same thing. That’s one of the reasons virtually no one comes out of an NDE (near death experience) quite the same as they were before it happened.
Checking In On the People You Left Behind
One thing you should know is that love is eternal! When someone passes, they will often come back and check up on their family and friends on earth. It’s common for the deceased to attend their own funerals in spirit, not to see who sent flowers, but to see for themselves how their loved ones are doing.
Choosing Special Signs
One interesting item on a souls’ “to-do-list” is choosing the signs they will use to reach out to loved ones on earth. They might choose different signs for different family members, but you can be sure that whatever they select will have meaning to them, and to the recipient. There’s nothing to stop you from making this task a little easier by talking to your loved one before they pass. Many people set up special ways to know if their loved one is near – it might be coins, music, or flickering lights – whatever works!
Divine tasks
Your work isn’t over when you die. Heaven is a place where souls continue to fulfill their purpose. They choose a “job” that helps those on earth – and usually this divine task relates to lessons they have learned, special gifts, or helping others overcome an obstacle they struggled with in life. For example, an alcoholic who died of alcoholism might help those on earth with their recovery, or a gifted schoolteacher might encourage others on the same path.
Closer Than You Think…
When a loved one passes, to the people they leave behind it feels like the ultimate distance. For the dead, it’s the opposite. From their Heavenly vantage point, hey still feel close and connected! They are with you through the good times, the bad times, and all the times in between.
The last thing that they want is for you to cry over them, first, because they’re not gone, and second, because they don’t want your grief to keep you from being happy and enjoying life.
So, when you imagine how your loved one is doing in Heaven, remember this. The one thing that the dead always say to me, as a medium, is that they don’t want you to take time out of your life mourning them. Time and time again, they ask me to relay the same message, “I’m always by your side.”
We Never Die
What I have learned as a medium is that we truly never die. There is just a continuation of life in a completely different way. These are just SOME of the parts of transitioning that the souls have shared with me about life after death, however there is so much more I want to share! That is exactly why I decided to write my new book ‘ We Never Die: Secrets of the Afterlife’ available for pre-order right now on Amazon! In my new book I will take you on a journey of the soul from this world to the next. I hope you will join me on this journey and order a copy.
If you would like to hear from a loved one that has passed on, I invite you to join me at an online group reading or in person event by Clicking Here to take part in the most amazing family reunion with Heaven!

I just “know” based on something intangible inside me that when we get to heaven we just don’t sing praises and hymns to God but we do have real jobs and do reconnect with those we love on earth. I also have a knowing that soulmates and “wholemates” (the phrase my wholemate coined for us because our heart and soul connection is much stronger than a soulemate connection) do reconnect in heaven is they desire to do that. I would like to know more about what you have learned with regards to this and also what “everyday life” is like on the other side. i.e. are we always growing spiritually, what part does hell play when on the otherr side? It’s so hard to have to wait on this side when the two loves of my life are on the otherside and I have to just keep on going until I die and pass over.
Hi Matt, I love watching you connect with spirit. I did sign up and paid for one of your direct experiences, however, with the time difference here in Australia, I missed it. I have had an experience, fortunately, with a medium, who connected with my father. It was such a beautiful experience. I was hoping to connect with either my mother or brother, or mow my ex husband, father of my 3 sons, after he committed suicide. So there are a lot of souls in heaven, who I’d like to connect with, but I am strong in myself and I know one qay or another, I will touch base with all of them. Thankyou for sharing your amazing gift.
If everyone that dies goes to heaven where do they all fit??
From the beginning of man to now, that’s a lot of souls, where do they all go and can we see them when we get to heaven???
Hi Matt l have lossed 3 husbands which l miss very much. My middle husband Jim flashed lights for me, l keep asking to do it again for me, but nothing happens.
Both my brothers passed away within a week of each other. My question is since they did not really go to church or worship God as they became adults do they still go to heaven? It pains me to think I might never see them again.
I really would like to know the opposite of what most people want. How do you prevent souls that you do not want around you from always being near? If you had a relationship with someone in this life, once they pass over how do you prevent them from watching over you if you don’t want them to?
Hi Matt, I was wondering if there was a spiritual connection or coincidence for many males transitioning between the ages of 60 thru 66yrs of age? Ive known many men who have transition “not died” since they are spiritual soul’s now and even when you hear on TV someone famous passes usually is around this age, my question is …is there a reason for many to pass at this age? Statistics say 70% that’s a lot then I am wondering when you connect with those on the other side of the veil why?
Hi Matt I think you are wonderful you make me laugh. I just wanted to say thank you in all that you do in helping people with their grief
. I lost My lovely Mum in Aug 22 2020 I still can’t believe she is gone we did so much together I don’t think you ever get over it. But Your amazing and I just wanted to say thank you, I do believe you when you say we never die I still cry for my Mum I guess we all have our moments
The last thing that they want is for you to cry over them, first, because they’re not gone, and second, because they don’t want your grief to keep you from being happy and enjoying life.
So, when you imagine how your loved one is doing in Heaven, remember this. The one thing that the dead always say to me, as a medium, is that they don’t want you to take time out of your life mourning them. Time and time again, they ask me to relay the same message, “I’m always by your side.”
That is so TRUE! Especially if a person has guilt because If you treated a loved one before they pass and didn’t get the chance to “fix”things before they die.
When I was young I was afraid of death and as I was older still didn’t like it. But after seeing my Dad sick and ready to go he was talking to his mother that he missed. He protected his mom and sister from his abusive father. I didn’t know people did this when they are dying. And of course he waited till I left but my mom was holding his hand when he left us.
Hey Matt….loved when you said, many people are afraid of “death”so to make it less stressful substitute with the word “transition”!
Maybe omit all the “D” words like “die, died, dead, death completely. Substitute with words like souls, passes, past ect. Changing the wording of the way one thinks/read’s IS SO POWERFUL!! Thanks for making people who will be leaving this world sooner or later (which will be everyone) less stressed and more hopeful when they do TRANSITION❤️
An aunt who recently passed spent her last few hours reaching up from her hospital bed. I would take her hands which she quickly shushed aside and said “Mom! Joyce! Billie!” Her mom and sisters who passed before her. I’m sure there were others there, but I heard those names. She didn’t speak much after this event with me as she was placed on a bi-pap machine. When that was removed it was only minutes later she left. So yes, they were leading her!
Just lost a grandson to a tragic car accident in November. Just want to know that he is ok
Hi Matt! I have a question I sometime i´m sometimes wondering about.
Heaven..as we call it.. Is really not heaven as we often think and know it…the sky with clouds and so..
Is it not another dimension, wibration or what one can call it very near us…and sometimes the line cross a little..
Do we call it heaven because it´s it just such a wonderful place with peace, light and love..
Am I at least just a little right..
Lot´s of hugs to you! <3
While caring for my brother,, who was a spiritual healer. We did a proof of survival or specific code to prove he had transitioned. Three years later at a psychic reading the code was said first. I feel him around when it’s tough. Please know they are with you and have no painful body. Always with love.
After my mother passed. I took one of her little sweaters and laid it out on the back of the couch where she would always sit & waych TV. It formed a perfect crease under the left arm. I came home one night and there was a little bottle of eye drops resting in the crease of the sweater that was not there when I left the house. I sent the picture to another psychic medium and he confirmed it was a sign from my mother she saw I put her sweater out on the back of the couch. I never touched it, it’s still there, Nobody sits on that couch. Nobody. I have pictures of me and her together by the couch and I still bring her the bulletinn fron the church every week for her to read. I put Jeopardy & Wheel of Fortune on for her every night still. I just do. xoxoxo
My grandson died just after being born. My daughter is broken and shattered from this. Where do the babies go, Matt?
So terribly terribly sad.
Hi Matt, you are fantastic..would like to know, when do you see God, or Jesus, or the Holy Spirit, are they visible to you, can you speak to them..my husband has been gone for almost 17 years now, but I still talk to him although I don’t feel him around as often…hope he is still around me…keep up the good works that you do for people..
I love learning from you Matt thanks for your wisdom
Your experiences repeat what I got from Embraced by the Light…every spirit continues on into another new human born,until what life, was to “teach”,or the new human is placed to do what it was sent to do…then when finished…an angel…
I have had many ill family members. I lost my husband, love of my life 12 yrs ago. Before he died we talked about how he could tell me he was ok. I asked him to come as an owl to our backyard owl house. We never had an owl, never. He said he wanted to be a sea gull. I said well at least come at first as an owl cause we didnt live by water. A few days after he died i was with my daughter and a friend and there was an huge Barn owl (im not in country) in our owl house. I cried was so happy to see him.. At Beach one seagull always stays right by me. Have other stories for other family members. It important to set up signals, when they are able to talk about. I dont hear or see him much anymore, i havent gotten over him. Now im angry about hurtful things that happened in our 33yr marriage. Silly and Sad, but it’s hard to let go and enjoy life xoxo
Just lost my soulmate, the love of my life my best friend my ride or die. We were always on the on off day to day, either loving each other and feeling as we were one or angry and split apart but always having the faith that we were there for each other and we would walk life together, even separately. He passed away before we got the chance to reunite and become one soul in two bodies. and I feel that my soul ripped in half and left with him. I miss him terribly and want to know that we will again reunite like we should have in life. I am waiting here for you on earth, will you wait for me there in heaven
Laurie it sounds like you were “Twin souls”
Hi Matt,
I wish we could learn more about those that commit suicide. No one will talk about it in the psychic community. I can only imagine it’s stressful for you all intuitively. We just need to know!!
Thank you for all you do to help people who have lost loved ones!
I am also a psychic medium and have been given insights. A friend and I made a pact that the first one to pass would let the other know if “heaven” really existed. She came and let me know. I now have terminal cancer but have explained to the Doctor that we are not in control of this, the universe is. I have stayed positive because even though I was only given a few months to live I feel they are wrong and I will be around for a good while longer. I have already passed my few months and feel stronger every week.
Matt, the one thing my husband did not want was to be cremated so I granted his wish and did a burial. Does the dead really care and know what you do to their remained? my husband has let me know he is ok through a dream and other ways. I want you to know you have been a real blessing since I found you. thank you so much.
I was married 43 years to a narcissist, who was abusive mentally and physical. He also broke the Lazy Boy Recliner due to the fact that he was so lazy. Long story short I fell out of love with him. I forgave him but do I have to see him in Heaven?
