A gift that many people would love to experience

Dear June

I AM 62 years old and have suffered from depression most of my life.

My father died when I was in my 40s and my mother passed over to be with him four years ago.

A few weeks after my mother died, I awoke in the night to see her standing with my father at the foot of my bed, smiling at me.

The experience left me with a feeling of overall peace that I can still feel to this day.

Did they visit me or did I dream it all?

What a wonderful gift to have been given by those who love you from the other side of life.

Your mother wanted to let you see she was reunited with your father and that they were happy to be together.

They know you have battled depression over the years.

The experience wasn’t a dream. With the help of others in spirit, they pulled together to create energy and conditions that allowed them to visit.

This enabled you to see there is a place at the end of a physical life where you can feel at peace, surrounded by those you thought had gone for ever.

The knowledge that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel from within the darkness of your depression has allowed you to feel an inner peace and security you’d never experienced.

The feeling that all will be all right, no matter what happens, will remain with you for the rest of your life, until the day comes when you finally experience the total euphoria of an inner peace that was so hard to find in your physical lifetime.

Although your father passed away many years ago, I sense a strong bond between you and he could relate to your illness through his own experience of depression.

I sense your mum didn’t have

a similar understanding as she never suffered the illness. Unless you have, you will never totally understand what it’s like.

You were not present at your father’s passing and it was unexpected. I am drawn to the head (stroke or aneurysm?)

Your mum shows me an image of you holding her hand as she passed peacefully in hospital.

You have been given a vision many yearn for and that is to have seen that your parents are safe and happy together and still looking after the son they love.

VERDICT

My father and I were very similar in character and very close in life.

He too suffered bouts of depression throughout life and totally understood what I was feeling when others couldn’t.

My mother was more of a “pull yourself together” person and didn’t understand how debilitating my illness could be.

My father’s life was taken by a massive stroke and I was not present when he died.

I held my mother’s hand when she went to join him.

It’s good to know they are together and I thank them for the comfort they brought me on their visit.
