… that there is so much more on the other side and that life doesn’t really end, it just changes form.

One of my good friends from my early 20’s died yesterday from a particularly virulent kind of breast cancer. I haven’t seen her in many years but we often chatted in email once we got back in touch and I was there for this part of her journey. As a writer, she chronicled her illness with brutal honesty that bypassed pretty pink ribbons.
And even though I know that I will see her again, I am carrying a sadness about all of it that I can’t really name.
Before she died, she came to me (telepathically). I knew it was her because she greeted me by my maiden name as was our habit back in the day. I could hear her voice so clearly telling me not to be sad, that she was finally free and loving things now that she was out of that body. Her soul spoke to me with joy and peace and a calm that felt to me like floating on top of the ocean.
Being able to communicate with those on the other side and knowing in my heart that we continue on IS a great comfort to me.
When I *finally* accepted the reality that my goddaughter was dying and it was her soul’s wish to leave, I found comfort in knowing that I’d hear from her.
Same with my mom – the last thing I told her before she passed away was “You know I can hear you so come talk to me.”
And they do speak to us in so many ways if we are willing to stretch and BELIEVE it is from them.
With all my heart I believe there are no coincidences. The song that plays at exactly the right moment or the oracle card that falls on the floor that holds a message you need to hear – messages all.
If you are feeling the loss of someone you love, ask them to make their energetic presence known. Don’t dismiss what shows up. Open your heart and receive the gift you’ve been given, the gift you asked for. It might not come as a bolt out of the blue but it comes.
It comes.
You know I believe it! All my love and comfort to you too! I’m so glad you were able to hear from your friend. That’s really beautiful. 🙂
I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. I always try to remind myself that friends and family are free. I imagine that it feels like along, satisfying stretch. I’m still waiting to hear from Riley. I believe she stops by and plays with Blue, because sometimes I find him alone in a part of the house doing his playful bark.
Thank you for this lovely post today. It was wonderful and a great way to start my Monday.

My Mother recently passed (5 months ago today). It was a sudden death – quite the tragedy. She was forever be 71.
I have experienced other sudden deaths: 11,10 & 9 years ago when my to be Mother & Law died suddenly, then a nephew suddenly and just a short 9 years ago my loving Fiance’, John Bare died suddenly.
Sudden death’s are not uncommon for me yet they are painful.
When my Mother passed it was a little bit easier yet still very difficult as it forces all the past Grief & Loss to surface again.
With each death I have grown in leaps and bounds in my spiritual connection.
For that reason I am grateful.
I feel I am very intuitive and feel it is a gift from above. I see, feel and smell things that someone else may not see, feel & smell. It is truly a gift I cherish.
There is something to be said for my spiritual wisdom that I have gained and it helps my grief process in leaps and bounds.
Just this weekend I went to a picnic and at the picnic they held a “Chinese Auction”. 25 cents bought me a ticket. I had $2.00 in change and placed the tickets into the cups next to the items I would have liked.
I really admired this Flower Picture and thought it would be nice to hang in my home.
It is a 8×10 Picture – of a VASE full of flowers, wrapped around the vase is 2 angels, near the bottom of the picture is written the names of all the flowers in the vase: Carnations, Asters, Poppy.. etc…about 50 different flower names in all.
The picture is titled: NOVEMBER which spoke volumes to me because my dear John Bare passed in the month of November.
I don’t hang pictures of him anymore as I have been dating and have been in a couple different relationships. I thought this Picture would be a nice “Remembrance” of both John & Mom.
My Mom was an avid Gardner and an avid angel collector. This Picture spoke volumes of Mom with all the flowers.
When the winning ticket was announced it was me. I was holding the lucky ticket…777, I had not even noticed I was holding such a lucky ticket. I was simply AMAZED and began to cry. I ran up to the table, they validated my lucky 777 ticket and I am now the proud owner of this beautiful “Remembrance Picture”.
Coincidence? I think NOT! Everything happens for a reason. My Mom and John look down on me all the time. Their spirit lives on all around me, everyday. I am so open to “signs” and am so GRATEFUL for this intuitive gift. It is a blessing to me to know my loved ones that have passed are all around me just in a different form- perhaps as angels.
Much love to all of you. Keep looking for those signs and getting that “tingling”feeling. I sure do!!

Lisa, I am so sorry about the death of your friend.
When my Dad died, almost 7 months ago, I was in the middle of a class about communicating with spirit. Just for the heck of it, I tried to connect with him to see what I got. What I got was, “Woohoo! I’m free!!!!” I had learned by that time to trust what I get- so I know it was Dad. And it was no accident that I was taking that class when both my aunt and my Dad died. Being able to connect with both of them has really helped me a lot.
Thank you for this post. It’s an important one for people to know about.
Karma.
A friend of mine saw her brother in a dream after he died, telling her he was okay and happy. inshaAllah (God-Willing).
