Our life without Caroline remains a struggle for us

Dear June

I lost my daughter Caroline, aged just 36. Her illness was short. She suffered acute lymphocytic leukaemia and her passing was expected, so we all thought we were prepared to say goodbye.

How wrong we were. Three years on and my heart is broken. She left behind a beautiful four-year-old daughter and a loving husband who is struggling without her. Our family would be grateful if you could let us know she is safely over.

Anita, Inverness.

June Says

Watching someone we love battle an illness, knowing they are going to lose, makes us feel helpless and powerless.

We wish them to be at peace and try to prepare for that final moment when we have to say goodbye.

When they make the transition from this world to the next, we initially feel a great relief in knowing they are no longer suffering and are free from the ailing body that latterly caused them so much pain and discomfort.

The relief becomes shortlived as we begin the slow journey through the many stages of grief.

As I open to spirit, I am aware of a young woman standing in front of me.

She has short blonde hair and is wearing a long, light pink kaftan.

She is smiling and I feel quite calm as I look at her.

I sense very strongly she is your daughter.

I see many others behind her so I know she is with people she knows.

Did she play the piano? I can hear Christmas carols being played.

Nancy has been called and although I can’t see very clearly, I sense Nancy is on spirit side.

I am shown a picture of a countryside scene which is hanging squint on the wall.

I ask the Lord to give me some sign that he is OK.

Margaret, Stirling. June Says

You were there for him, holding his hand and surrounding him with the love and support he needed during his final moments.

He would have been met by those from spirit side who held a loving connection and bond with him during Your daughter does this to alert you to her presence.

You are also in possession of her slippers and she wants you to know she sees you wearing them.

Her funeral service was attended by many and I can hear the soft voices of many children singing.

Did she ever work with children?

She watches her daughter grow and has made herself known to her in a dream.

She is safe and settled and will never be too far from the family she loves.

VERDICT

My granddaughter started piano lessons last year and at Christmas she learned to play a few carols and hoped her mum would hear them from heaven.

Nancy was a childhood friend who died years ago.

Caroline was a primary school teacher who also taught music.

She had short blonde hair and pink was a favourite colour.

She passed away a few weeks before Christmas and we had a recording of the children she taught singing Away In A Manger at her service.

I do have her slippers and I’m forever straightening a squint picture at home. their physical lives. They would have accompanied him safely over to be reunited with other family members previously past.

Do not worry about your husband, as he is safe in the care of his family.

When the time is right, he will be there to meet and reassure you as he leads you to spirit side to be reunited with family who love you.
