Lost without the soulmate I had connected with

-

Dear June

MY partner passed away nine years ago.

We had been together for 22 years. He passed after a short illness and did not have time to make peace with his family. His parents, now dead, never approved of our relationsh­ip. My early teenage years were particular­ly difficult as I was in denial about my sexuality and felt a great sense of loneliness until I met my soulmate.

I have never got over his death. Does he know how lost I feel without him? I want to know who he is with and if he is happy.

The loss of a partner is a great loss that will take some time to recover from, but you will eventually get there as a bond such as yours cannot be broken – even through physical death.

When you find that special person it is considered a great gift.

I get the impression your partner was extremely loyal and very determined.

He seems to have got the mix of life right by embracing those who were accepting of him on a positive level and leaving those of negative judgments behind.

As I make my connection with spirit, I see a gentleman with a mass of grey, curly hair and a broad smile, looking straight at me.

He seems full of confidence and does not appear in the least bit perturbed about linking with me.

I’m drawn to his chest where I sense he suffered problems for most of his life. Did he have heart problems since birth?

I sense his passing was sudden, but not entirely unexpected, as he makes me feel he was already living on borrowed time.

A tall, striking-looking older lady stands by his side. I feel she is his mother. I’m impressed to say she is glad to have her son with her to give her peace and closure.

The love between them is strong.

I also sense a father figure in the background (but do not see him) who is accepting responsibi­lity for the family relationsh­ips breaking down.

All is well with them now and they are together again.

Your partner is smiling and wants me to mention the necklace you wear as his way of letting you know he remains close.

VERDICT

He did have curly, grey hair which always looked messy but his smile and confident nature was what everyone liked about him.

He did suffer from ongoing heart problems and was not expected to live as long as he did.

His father was the dominant member of his family and after we moved in together his father refused to talk to him and his mother was afraid to make regular contact.

I am glad they have made up as I know how much hurt it all caused.

I wear a necklace that I never take off, which contains some of his ashes.
