Rush Limbaugh’s Wife Reveals Final Days ‘He Knew He was Going to Heaven’
Rush Limbaugh spoke about the afterlife a lot in his finals days, saying that ‘he knew he was going to heaven’ according to his wife Kathryn in a conversation with Todd Herman, who spoke of how she and her late husband prepared for his death.
In a recently released audio recording, Kathryn Limbaugh shared how they planned his funeral together, and told Herman that Rush didn’t know his February 2, 2021 show should be his last.
KATHRYN: So I am walking with Rush and explaining to him his event, and I told him all he has to do is show up, which I’ve also arranged. (laughing)
RUSH: (chuckles) Yeah, and it is an event, and it’s awesome! I mean, I hope you get invited to it.
KATHRYN: (chuckles) Yeah.
RUSH: I mean, what she just described to me is incredible. Sorry I’m gonna miss it. But —
KATHRYN: (laughing) You’re gonna have a front-row seat.
RUSH: But I’ve just said to her, “I can’t believe it. It’s so cool!”
Kathryn recounts that his funeral was beautiful, if small, due to the COVID restrictions.
It was very peaceful, very beautiful. And we followed behind the horse-drawn carriage until we reached the chapel. And when we reached the chapel, we had a small service in the chapel which is located in the cemetery. Rush was escorted into the chapel to his favorite version of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.
And it was just stunning, if you can imagine, looking forward through a winding road to see this beautiful carriage with Rush in it and then flags around his grave site. So as we approached the gravesite you could see these powerful American flags waving in the wind and the sun was shining directly on that spot.
Speaking about his final show and peace he found, she said that they talked about heaven all the time, and that Rush knew he was going there:
He just got a little bit sicker and sicker by the day, and we had to take a bit of an emergency action for him. But the blessing in this is that he knew he was going to heaven. But he didn’t know that that was his final show, and didn’t know that he would not be speaking with all of you directly again. So that does provide some comfort that it was peaceful and unknown.
Todd comments that she must take great comfort in Rush knowing he was going to heaven, and she agrees that it did.
Absolutely, yes. We talked about it all the time, and you may recall he always said practically every show that he thanked God for being able to wake up that day. And that’s really how he took it, one day at a time, and knew that it was God’s plan and we would go forward as we needed to. But he knew ultimately that he would return to heaven and be greeted by everyone who’d gone before him.

Was Limbaugh a Mormon? Thinking one will “return to heaven” is certainly not orthodox Christian belief.
I was not aware that he had any religious belief. The group over at Way of Life Literature believed he was not and had some substantive proof. Of course it might be dated so maybe he became a Christian later in life.
Yeah, when I read he knew he’d “return to heaven”, it shocked me. This is not a Christian belief but a Mormon one. I read online though that he was a Methodist. Not quite sure what to make of this. I do hope he was born again.
GOD BLESS RUSH LIMBAUGH
