I'm sure I'm not the only one who wonders what happens after death. It's when she commits a final act that determines her own fate, that Chris must travel to the deepest realms to save her soul. And I'll admit that when a dog begins to run toward him, a dog he and his wife Ann had in their earthly lives but had to put to sleep because of illness, I got a little choked up.Ĭhris, though, is still tethered to earth through his wife's despair and pain at his loss. Her grief ultimately keeps him connected, and he can't move on. It's a peacefulness that Chris has never experienced before. The sky has no sun, yet is bright and clear the rushing water in the lake is cool and refreshing, yet hands and clothes remain dry. It's answered by Albert, a guide who begins to educate Chris on where he now is, and what he must do in order to achieve fulfillment in this afterlife. Albert brings him to Summerland and while it's not quite the heaven one might expect as there aren't any angels or harps, it instead is a sweeping landscape of beauty and nature, where colors are at their purest, and everything emits its own natural energy vibration that is pleasing to hear. When it becomes too confusing and exhausting, he eventually cries for help. He doesn't grasp how he can be at his own funeral, or lay down next to his weeping wife, since he believes he's not dead. It is Chris' journey following death that is explained, in minute detail of his initial stumbles as a spirit who didn't understand what happened.
She leaves quickly, never giving her name or a way to contact her. Immediately dubious at the authenticity since Chris has passed away, the woman at the door explains that she spent the last six months writing down Chris' words and after reassuring him that she understands it might be unbelievable, it is, in fact, true. In this, Robert finds a manuscript written by his brother Chris. In the book, Robert has a visitor at his door, who delivers a large envelope. After I did more research, it was interesting to find the author was previously a horror writer and, at the time, was trying to separate himself from the genre. When I learned it was based on a book originally released in 1977, I figured I would download it. The images were so beautiful that it has become a film I've watched more than once. was one I enjoyed, but it was the cinematography that I loved the most. The 1998 film What Dreams May Come starring Robin Williams, Annabella Sciorra, and Cuba Gooding, Jr.
