What happens on the other side to someone who spent their life hurting the people closest to them? This week, Allison and Sophia answer listener call-ins about some difficult questions surrounding…
Sophia DuBoisHostSo the reason I included this question is because I think a lot of people wonder what Christine's wondering.
What happens when we die? For instance, with the Beaumont children, they went first.
So would they know who hurt them and ended them? The answer to that is, and people kept saying,
And the reason I don't go through the children as much, I'll keep it very light with them if I ever go through them at all, is because it makes them, it forces them into reliving what happened to them just by telling you about it.
So when the children passed, they were aware of what the man looked like, whether he was related to them or not related to them.
But as child energy and being innocent, they don't really want to revisit that horrible end that they experienced or the horror of seeing a sibling murdered.
They actually lived quite a few years after the Beaumont children had disappeared.
For the parents when they passed, yes, they would know, but I think what people may not understand is Once they suffered for decades with no children, the first thing they would want to do is be with their children, is their reunification and the healing together.
Going back to a time before the badness happened, that's where the parents' energy would be.
And because it was back in 1966, this one's particularly, it's different than a lot of cases that are more current.
Sometimes a victim will have a lot of energy on the person being brought to justice for what happened to save another innocent from dying.
But because it was back in 1966, the chances by the time the parents crossed of the perpetrator being alive was less.
They would be aware of who it was who committed these crimes At the same time, they'd be focused on helping their children heal their own wounds around this atrocity that happened to them, this violent experience that children, you know, it's bad enough for an adult, but for a four-, seven-, and nine-year-old child to experience it.
And I don't think people ever put themselves in the place of or fully understand the horror and the helplessness of having to watch somebody that you care about be victimized and ended, their life ended while you watch or while you hear them.
And when there's multiple children, that's often the case that they can hear at the very least what's going on and then have that own terror inside of them knowing that they were next.

Because I mean, I know that I would think the same thing or wonder the same thing.

And I feel like a lot of people would think, oh, well, can't you just talk to them on the other side? And it's like talking to somebody that like you asking me like, oh, who did it? And me just being like, oh, it was this person.

Then I put myself in the shoes of, for instance, somebody that was sexually assaulted, right? They still go through that trauma, even if it was years later, and they're shaking and they're, like, wanting to cry because you are reliving it.
