Parents are together again

-

Dear June

My mum passed a few weeks ago. Could you tell me if my dad was there to meet her? Mum never got over losing Dad.

In the past few months it was hard seeing her become frail and unwell. I stroked her cheek just as she passed, which was a comfort, but I wish I had got there earlier.

Anne, email.

It is always hard and heartbreak­ing to watch someone we love so much deteriorat­e through illness and age and slowly slip away. Someone we looked up to as a child, safe in the knowledge of just how much we were loved and protected. In our eyes they could have fixed anything in our world to make us safe and happy and on many occasions they did. I have conducted thousands of personal readings over the years and I’m of the belief that those who are meant to be present at a passing will be there when they are most needed. Those who are not will not and might miss the actual passing by even just a few seconds. Your mum will be safe in the care of your dad once more and they will be working as a team from spirit side to support you through your grief. She knew you were with her at the end, surroundin­g her with your love until she was safely reunited with your dad, who was there to collect her.

Do not worry about them as they have each other, and you will one day undoubtedl­y see them again. They will be the strong individual­s you remember before illness took hold.

Dear June

I’m heartbroke­n and distraught after losing my wee pal – my dog, Dexter. I need to know that he, along with my other pets, are being looked after.

I’d also love to know if my mum or dad are there.

Will he be scared, lonely, stressed or anxious because I’m not there with him? I really hope not as he was a mammy’s boy and I don’t want to think of him alone and frightened.

Catherine, email.

A loving pet is part of the family and it is totally natural to worry about its wellbeing after it passes. Dexter’s physical body died but he is not separated from you and can see you and walk unseen without the pain and distress of a deteriorat­ing physical body. He will always remain that loyal friend and companion who you love and worry about.

He will not be afraid or lonely as he can see you and be around you always. He will be looked after and loved by your parents. One day, you will be reunited with your family – and of course your pets will be there, too.
