Robert describes heaven as a place where colors sang and trees seemed to breathe with a living awareness, where love wasn’t a feeling but an atmosphere that wrapped around him like light. He says every wound, every regret, every terror he’d carried dissolved in that presence. Yet in the midst of that overwhelming peace, a piercing grief broke through—his wife’s. He claims he felt her anguish as if it were his own, a raw, tearing sorrow that cut straight through paradise and pulled his attention back toward Earth.
In that moment, he says, he did the unthinkable: he asked to leave. According to Robert, Jesus warned him that his body was ruined but promised a “new brain” and a miracle that would force even skeptics to wrestle with what happened. Today he lives with a quiet, unsettling certainty: that death is a doorway, not a wall, and that someone loving stands beyond it.
