Windows to your soul

DEAR LUKE MY DAD died this year. My mother and aunt died four years ago. I think of them a lot, especially with Christmas coming up. Are they OK and do they have advice for me? Joyce

HI JOYCE

YOUR mum leads the way and brings the family forward. She has a heart of gold and I can feel her positive, loving energy all around me. She’s with Maggie and everyone is fine and dandy. Dad is his old self and says you’ve a lot to be proud of – thank you for all the memories you gave him over the years. You asked a question recently and he wants you to know it’s OK – he has no need for it and he knows it will be looked after. There’s a gentleman who stands with your dad, the joker in the family, and he wants to clean your windows! You’ve been looking out of those windows lately thinking about what to do for the best. You should take your time. There’s no need to rush into making any decisions. Just make sure you’re seeing everything clearly. Dad’s passing had a profound effect on you, and it still feels like it happened yesterday. He left a space that no amount of positive thinking can fill. Spirit know just how their loved ones feel at this time of year. The pressure’s on to perform but sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we can’t force ourselves to be joyful and neither should we try. You miss them and they miss you but what they really want you to do is celebrate their lives and what they meant to you. The love will always be there. You can choose to spend Christmas how you like. Honour you loved ones’ memory but find comfort in simple ways.

Your mum and dad are with you and your mum is especially close. They see you worry and want to step in, wishing they could make it better. Do what you feel like at Christmas this year, Joyce – they’ll be with you.
