An adventure awaits you

-

Dear June

In August 2015, my wife Annette passed away in my arms.

We were never apart and on outings we would always hold hands.

I keep asking if she is all right.

I honoured her wish for a humanist funeral and she wanted me to do the same. If so will I see her again?

Will she be waiting for me?

Robert, Peeblesshi­re.

June Says

It is always so emotionall­y difficult, as well as heartbreak­ing, to have to say goodbye to someone you love when they go on with their journey ahead of you.

You spent your lives building and creating dreams and visions together and watched as they came to fruition a little at a time, only to find that in the end only one is left to enjoy them.

It’s only then, at the moment of their passing, that we realise what is truly important.

It wasn’t so much the goals we reached or the creation of our visions, it was our journey together to get there and, most importantl­y, those who walked along beside us every day, sharing in our dreams and supporting us each step of the way.

The journey filled with many memories was what mattered, not the final destinatio­n.

She knew you were with her, surroundin­g her with love as she embarked on her final journey, and so it is only fitting that she will be waiting to greet you when you also inevitably cross over to join her.

When the time is right, your lovely lady will be waiting so that you can both begin an incredible new adventure together.

Dear June

On March 3, it will be 30 years since I lost my husband.

I still miss him – he was my love and my best friend.

I ask him to help when I lose things and I feel he knows when I’m unwell.

Illness on his side of the family has caused distress.

Can you see a light at the end of the tunnel to ease all

our troubled hearts? Is he with his stillborn grandson and did his parents greet him when he passed?

Isabella, Arbroath.

June Says

To have been blessed with such a strong love and connection, it is natural to miss your partner, even after 30 years.

The bond you had does not end after physical death and will continue. When your physical life eventually draws to a close, he will be there to collect you and you will spirituall­y fulfil another chapter of your life together.

He will have been reunited with all who knew him, who are now also in spirit, but chooses through his love for you to walk by your side each and every day.
