Sister cared for my girl. I hope they’re together

Dear June

My daughter passed away four years ago. She was nine years old and was born severely disabled. Her father left us after her birth and I wouldn’t have coped if my sister hadn’t moved in with us to help. Sadly, I lost my sister last year and wanted to make sure she and my daughter were together again. They loved each other very much. I miss them both and it would bring me such comfort to know they are together and happy. Helen, Glasgow.

June Says

The grief we suffer after losing a loved one brings forward many memories from the past.

Only as we reminisce do we fully realise how much they meant to us and how important they were.

Your sister knew how difficult it was for you to have to cope alone after the birth of your daughter and offered the love and support you needed.

I get the impression your sister had a great sense of humour and always lifted the spirits of those around her. She would have approached your daughter’s disabilities positively, which in turn enabled you all to cope much better.

I feel she would have been well suited within the caring profession.

I sense she passed after a long illness and that you were with her at the end.

I’m aware of three female energies, who are positioned very close together, drawing towards me.

They are your daughter, your sister and a mother figure (your mother?).

I smell the strong scent of lavender as they move closer.

I feel very settled with them, but regarding the older lady I sense disharmony in the family which did not receive closure prior to her passing, as I sense it was very sudden and unexpected.

I sense they are eager for you to know all is now well and they stand together as a family, surrounded once more by love which they send in abundance to you.

Did someone keep small birds? I see quite a few small birds around them and also hear them singing. I don’t feel these are in the countryside but I’m aware of them being outside.

Do not worry about your family as they are settled and safe and will remain close together in their unit.

VERDICT

My sister was a very positive lady who always managed to make people smile. She had been ill for a while and I held her hand when she passed. We were both present when my daughter passed away. My mother has been gone a long time and there was a rift in the family that was not sorted out before her unexpected death. I had an aviary built in the garden and still have quite a number of birds I look after. My daughter loved it. Lavender grows all over the garden.
