PREFACE
Throughout the ages people have wondered whether there is life after death. I certainly have wondered about this myself; probably everyone on earth has wondered, at some time or another, what will become of them after they die. As someone once said, Is this all there is?
We read about the ones who have died on the operating table or at home but have come back after going somewhere and have said they saw shining lights or heavenly angels. What about those who have actually passed on but have not come back to tell their story? How many have actually come through in some manner with their stories from beyond—where they are now, where they are going, or any other first-person details of their life in heaven?
After knowing and loving my wife for over thirty-three years, I was crushed by her sudden death after a short illness that should have been recoverable. The question I asked myself was why? I have now found the answer, as you will read in the following pages.
Suzette Delashmet Shockley-Barcafer passed from this life on February 2, 2016, at 3:07 p.m. at the age of sixty-nine.
This is her true story, as told to me, Ward Edward Barcafer, Jr., through journaling on numerous occasions.
INTRODUCTION
This is a book about life after death as provided to me by my wife, Suzette Delashmet Shockley, through journaling and a series of extraordinary events after her demise.
I believe, and Suz (or Sue, as I and she sometimes called herself) believes, that if only one person can save himself or herself from the completely overwhelming sorrow and utter grief that comes from the death of a loved one, this whole endeavor is worthwhile.
When certain events started to happen, I was in disbelief—I hadn’t known or even thought about life after death—so I turned to research and listened for answers to see what was happening. In reading and talking with people who did believe in life after death, I kept an open mind.
There’s not a doubt in my mind that some of the events came from another world, as you will see. The events that occurred are not able to happen in the world in which we live. As they happened, one by one, it made sense to me because it was a continuing series of events, I saw something out of the ordinary was happening; in fact, it was very extraordinary and could not be of a human perspective.
I now know that when a person loses a good friend, spouse, child, or other loving relationship, the deceased person can come through
and communicate. I believe that the stronger the love vibration between the one who has passed and the one left behind, the easier and stronger the connection between them will be.
Suzette had a remarkable life. She was interested in cosmetics to look nice from a young age, and that is why, for all of her adult life, she looked about twenty years younger than her actual age. People she met could not believe her real age. After college, she developed several businesses. One was in Vermont, raising her own sheep for their wool, which she then had dyed and cast into yarn, from which rugs and sweaters were made and sold on a commercial basis. After moving to Colorado, another business was the designing, manufacturing, and hand-painting of jewelry that she sold to stores throughout the West and Midwest. She had a remarkable design and color talent for designing jewelry, gift cards, flowers, and other like items. At one time her interests were varied—real estate sales, mortgage sales, cosmetic sales, and day trading. She was very successful in all of these endeavors due to her love of people.
My name is Ward Edward Barcafer Jr. and I have known and loved Suzette for over thirty-three years; we were married for thirty-one years. In fact, our love merged into unconditional love over that time. After a divorce some years ago, I wanted to find a life partner—not any life partner but a special person I could love and share our life together. I found that in Suz. I had dated many nice women, but I could not find the special one. One Friday night, even though I had gone to several singles dances previously, I decided at the last minute to attend one that was in a remote part of town.
After I was there for a few minutes, two women walked in together. I’d seen one of them at many singles dances but not the other—she’d never attended a singles dance and had been reluctant to go, but her friend talked her into this one. That was Suzette. When she walked in and I saw the way she presented herself, I thought, Maybe this is the one. We danced together the whole evening and then decided to see each other again. I found out later that she too was looking for someone with whom she could join together in a common bond.
If I had decided not to go to this dance or if Suzette had declined her friend’s invitation, we never would have met. Was this a coincidence, or was it meant to be? I believe that God put us together. I say that because several times in my life, I’ve felt interventions—when I desired something badly enough and long enough, it seemed to manifest.
For example, years ago I went deer hunting in the Colorado mountains. I was by myself, and after parking on a deserted dirt road, I walked up a hill not too far from the car and saw a large male deer. I was young; now I don’t feel comfortable going hunting any longer. But back then, deer season was a part of living in Colorado for many people, just as it is today. I was able to shoot the deer, but it dropped down into a small gully. It was a big animal, and there was not any way I could bring this deer up from the gully and back to the car by myself. I had gone to church all of my life and felt I had learned to pray. My feeling on prayers was that a person can pray for any just desire within reason. Maybe God will provide and maybe not, depending on His intentions for us. Anyway, I asked God to find a way that I could bring this deer back to my car, as I was not going to leave the deer on the mountain.
As I was praying, a man in a red hooded sweatshirt approached from over a small hill. He said, I’m not hunting. I’ll help you.
We got a long tree branch and tied the deer’s legs together on the branch. Together, we carried it over our shoulders up from the gully to the road. I thanked him and said, What do I owe you?
He said, Nothing. When you find someone else who needs help, just help them.
With that, he walked back over the hill. This was a desolate area, and I had not seen another person or car that morning. Was that an angel sent to me while I was praying? Many other things similar to this have happened to me.
Suz knew she had a car angel. One time when she lived in Vermont, she had to drive back home in the dead of the night on a deserted mountain road in a blizzard. Her car slipped off the road into a snow-filled ditch and became stuck. She wondered if she would freeze to death. She prayed, and all of a sudden a large county truck appeared, stopped, and pulled her car out of the ditch. The driver said she was lucky because he usually never went down that county road and was never out that late.
Another time, her Volkswagen threw an engine belt on a lonely road, but very shortly after that, a mechanic drove by, offered to go to a nearby gas station, bought a belt, and installed it for her. Several times when she blew a tire, someone always came by who would change it for her.
So one thing we had in common was that we both felt God’s intervention in our lives.
Like many people, I grew up wanting the material things in life—money, houses, and cars; all that I thought were the important things in life. Even though I went to Sunday school and then church on a fairly regular basis, I felt there was something missing in the teachings of organized
religion.
I have always thought in my heart that God is a loving God. At an older age, I started looking at other churches and found one that prescribed that God was a loving God and that deeply, all people are one in God’s eyes
. But even with that, I didn’t seem to change that much, other than to respect my fellow humans more. Sue’s sudden death and the events that have happened since have changed my beliefs completely.
Through all of these happenings, I came to believe that Sue was telling me that she was fine and alive in another place and that I shouldn’t grieve over her because there is truly life after death. I came to realize that even though her physical body was left behind, her consciousness, personality, and spirit live on.
Instead of just believing that there is probably a Higher Intelligence, a Source, that created the earth and the universe, I now know there is a loving Creator that we call God who has created us all. The emotion of love is the highest emotion of all, and my belief now is that God has all-consuming love for his creation and wants to see us all develop that love to the best of our abilities.
Sue told me that I should continue my life on earth and help my fellow humans and we will join in the hereafter. This is also evidenced in the research I found.
After all these experiences, my consciousness has completely shifted. I now have more compassion for other people, more sense of purpose in life, and a willingness to help others as best as I can. I now believe that death on this planet has allowed a new beginning for the spirits of the departed; that their beings, their personalities, and who they are does not change; they only lose their physical presence.
Sue and I want this book written to tell her story in hope that this will help others overcome their grief over the passing of a loved one. For some, maybe this will be just food for thought,
but if it intrigues you to think further about and investigate life after death, it also will be worthwhile.
It is not the intent of this book to change anyone’s view on religion. It is only to suggest that you may want to investigate this life-after-death communication by reading more about it. I have provided a suggested reading list at the back of this book.
This is Sue’s story, told to me through my mind and by journaling in the early morning. I think I am receiving her messages because over the years we developed a true unconditional love and respect for each other. However, as quantum physics teaches, we may all be vibrational beings in this universe. I believe that if the vibrations from your loved one in heaven and your own vibrations are close enough, communication is possible. I also believe, as the Bible says, that God is love, and the high vibrations of love that Sue and I had and still have for each other enable us to communicate in this manner.
I’d never heard or thought about the possibility of life after death. I was brought up to believe that when we die that death was final. These dramatic happenings that I will describe were so out of this world and strange that I had to research after-death communication (ADC), and I found a number of books and articles on it, even some references to the Middle Ages, that described many of the same events that I was witnessing.
As I have discussed these events with other people, I’ve found that many have had a similar experience but have been reluctant to share it out of concern that they would be shunned, perhaps even by their families.
There seems to be a pattern to these activities; our loved ones show us that death is not an end but a new beginning, that they indeed are alive in another domain that we and the Bible call heaven.
In my research I found that many such incidences and events, such as I describe in this book, are quite common to ADC, just like reports of near-death experiences (NDE) are quite similar. This continuity led me to believe in the possibility of a renewed life in another dimension or world.
Sue’s thoughts and dictation of these notes to me were not vocal; they came through my mind, usually in the early morning, as a series of distinct sentences. I write them down in my notebooks and then type them up, day to day, in chapter form.
Many of the stimulating books I found to further my knowledge and solidify my thinking have stories similar to Sue’s. Again, I have provided a suggested reading list at the back of this book.

Chapter 1
DEVASTATION
This book is primarily composed of my day-to-day journaling of my talks with Sue, together with some extraordinary happenings. Her voice has a little different vocabulary than mine, and many of her words are not my normal ones. A few of her words are redundant, but I faithfully recorded them as they came to me. In the early mornings and sometimes during the day or when I am in bed at night, her thoughts come through to me. That is why I always have a notebook or tape recorder with me.
Because of my early church upbringing and the passing of friends, family, and others, I knew when my wife passed away—without any real warning and at what I consider the young age of sixty-nine—that she would be gone forever. I had thought she would outlive me, since I am older. I was completely in shock that I would never be with her again and enjoy our old age together.
Devastation and grief hit me like a ton of bricks. I could not believe she was gone. I walked out of the hospital’s ICU area and walked sadly down the long and lonely corridor. I left the hospital in a daze, realizing I would never go to the hospital again. When I got home and opened the door, my wife and friend was no longer there to welcome me. The house was dark and lonely, and that first night I just looked at her nightgown and the clothes she had worn before going to the hospital. I could not believe
