by Anonymous Not too long ago in Heaven there was a little soul who took wonder in observing the world. She especially enjoyed the love she saw there and often expressed this joy with God. One day however the little soul was sad, for on this day she saw suffering in the world. She approached God and sadly asked, “Why do bad things happen; why is there suffering in the […]
When I am gone
by Jill Kottmeier When I’m gone and the minutes turn into hours, and the hours turn into days, the heaviness inside your heart may seem too much to bear. I know you will long to hear my voice sing the songs that I loved, see my face, sit beside me, tell me you love me, hear my laugh, or just have those simple conversations we once had. I know that […]
Don’t look away
By Anonymous I know, it makes many of you squirm a little…or maybe even a lot. It’s uncomfortable. Our society doesn’t do death, or pain, or life-changing grief, so we follow the crowd and look away. Pain that can’t be cured is like leprosy…it must be pushed aside, driven to the outskirts and left to fend for itself. Society teaches us that it’s acceptable to rally around the child fighting […]
When a loved one passes… by Jeff Foster
When a loved one passes, do not worry. Weep, wail, scream, yes, honour their memory, but do not worry. They haven’t gone anywhere, strictly speaking. They have simply lost location and time. 377
Remember Your Loved Ones
Our loved ones in spirit like to be remembered, they like knowing that those left behind still love them and remember them. They know when we talk to them, when we pray to them, when we write them a letter or an email, when we draw a picture for them or write them a card. They can hear us when we sing a song to them. They know when we […]
When Children Go Home
by Michelle Stokotelny Why? How can this be?” I will hear a bereaved parent ask me during a mediumship reading. Being a mother myself, I choke back the tears as I say with truth, humility, and compassion “I wish I could tell you exactly why” as I connect with them to bring forward information from the Spirit World about their beloved child in spirit that only they would truly know; […]
Letter from your Child in Heaven
by Fara Gibson “Dear Mum and Dad, I wanted to send you a letter from Heaven because I see how difficult your days and nights have become for you and the family since I passed. I hear you asking why it is that I had to go to Heaven before you. You say, “How can it be possible for my child to pass before me!!??” I see the anger, the […]
To Grieve is More Natural Than You Think
When our daughter was alive, it was pretty natural for us to talk with our family, friends and co-workers about her. She was born with cerebral palsy, and it caused issues with her both physically and developmentally. She was perpetually 5 years old and, at nearly 25 years of age, loved Barney, the Wiggles and Disney princesses, especially Snow White. Her main mode of moving about was a power wheelchair, […]
Christmas, Spirituality and Grief
For those who have recently lost someone they love, the Holiday season can seem more as something to survive rather than enjoy. Many bereaved parents feel like they just want to “cancel” Christmas, wishing they could find a quite place to hide until January. Our society is very much focused on our materialistic possessions and this makes us loose sight of what really matters and lowers the energy frequency of […]
