Did sister hear my words?

Dear June

A few days before my sister passed, I wrote a letter to her expressing our family’s love for her and sharing our belief in the afterlife.

Her husband said he read the letter to her but was unsure if she could hear the words.

I’ve always wondered if she was able to receive my written thoughts and love for her.

Juiliana, Powys.

June Says

Your sister would have heard your heartfelt words as they were read by her husband, even though she was unconscious.

When a physical life is nearing an end, the spirit inside the body is very much alive.

The process we call death is that of the spirit vacating the body. The period of time just prior to passing is when the spirit begins to separate itself from the physical body.

It varies significantly from every individual in the same way some can be born into the world with ease while others find it more difficult.

The end result is that once the separation has been made, the spirit then lives on after physical death.

During this transition, although the physical body can seem unresponsive, the spirit housed inside is aware of any words spoken and people present during this time.

Once free of the ailing physical body that was wearing out, they will no longer feel any pain or discomfort.

Your sister is no longer a physical being but the love she holds for you as a spiritual being remains unconditional and unchanged.

June Says

I understand the fight any mother would show in order to stay with her child a little while longer.

Most parents experience a protective, instinctive, love and responsibility to their kid.

It is an unexplainable feeling of unconditional love.

Although the will of each spirit is strong, the physical body it is housed in does not last for ever.

Vacating the body does not mean a spirit won’t stay close by their loved ones.

That connection can’t be broken and they will be there to share in the happy times and provide love and support during darker days.

I get the impression your daughter was very close to her nana and this created a bit of disharmony between you and your mum.

I smell the strong scent of lilies and feel they would have been a favourite flower for one of them.

I do feel your daughter’s passing was peaceful with all of the family present and closure was achieved for all.

Your daughter has the greatest trust in you and knows you will always love and look after her child.

I also feel your daughter was open about her illness and left instructions. Did she plan her funeral?

I sense your mum’s passing was quick and she shows me number 70. Was she 70 when she passed?

Although I strongly sense your mum and daughter are together, your girl stands alongside two older ladies, not just her nana, who are both loving and protective.

Worry not, as she is safe, loved and stays very close to the family she loves but had to leave behind.

VERDICT

She was surrounded by our strong family love when she passed over.

We often talked at great length before she died and she had everything organised and left letters and instructions.

I promised I would support my son-in-law and to always be there for my grandchild.

Lilies were a favourite of my mum and she loved my daughter.

They were very close and at times it created a conflict between us when she would take her side.

My mum died suddenly, just before her 70th birthday.

I think the other lady was my mum’s sister, who she was close to.
