Brother seemed calm after seeing Mum’s spirit

Dear June

I AM writing to ask about my brother, who recently passed. We became much closer after the death of our parents. I spoke to him the day before he died, when he told me he had seen Mum in his room the night before and he was no longer afraid. He then seemed very calm as if he was ready to go. I would like to know if he is with Mum and Dad. Did Mum come for him?

Beth, Lerwick.

June Says

Many people near to death mention before they pass of seeing those who have previously crossed over.

Many have been known to see passed loved ones waiting in the corner of the room and, although no one else can see them, both parties can gain a lot of comfort from this.

Those dying can become more settled and less anxious once they’re aware of loved ones drawing closer from spirit.

There are some situations when someone near to death can awaken to smile, look up with outstretched arms and then peacefully pass away.

This brings great comfort to family gathered round the bed.

Your brother would have been aware of your mum and she would have been there to reassure him that she was waiting to take him home.

I get more of a mother/son relationship with you and your brother. Was there an age gap, with you being oldest?

I hear the name Ann being called and am aware of a male and female who I feel are mother and son.

I am impressed to say your brother struggled emotionally throughout life (depression/ anxiety) and he turned to you for support when at his lowest.

I smell strong alcohol and I’m being shown packets of pills.

He stands close by your mum but I also sense a father figure in the background.

All of them want you to know they are now at peace.

Nearing the end of your brother’s life, your mum came for him and waited patiently while offering reassurance that his transition from this side of life to the next would be OK.

Your loving family are now together in spirit and send love and support to you each day.

VERDICT

I was 12 years older than my brother and always tried to be there for him after Mum died.

He was diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age and was on medication for most of his life.

Latterly, he turned to alcohol when the pressures of life became harder for him.

He had always been close to Mum and she was protective of him. Mum’s name was Ann. He took her death very hard and that’s when his life seemed to spiral out of control.

He and Dad did not have a good relationship so I am pleased to learn they are now all at peace.
