Your protective soulmate is still looking after you

Dear June

I lost my wonderful husband a few months ago and found the run-up to Christmas particularly heartbreaking.

He loved Christmas and would spoil us all with some wonderful surprises to get us into the holiday spirit.

He’d been ill for some time and after diagnosis was given around eight months. We kept him at home and with help from our son and daughter, and daily support from the Macmillan nurses, he passed peacefully with us beside him.

Can you tell me who came to collect him? Debbie, Crieff

June Says

After a loss, Christmas can be a very sad time of year, especially the first without them.

I think of Christmas and New Year as family time, when everyone gathers at the table and family from afar make an effort to be there.

As we get older, we notice some of our loved ones are absent from the dinner table but we still have the happy memories of Christmas past.

Those now in spirit still gather round with us all and many can feel their love even though they can’t see them.

I’m aware of your husband drawing close and I get the strong impression he is giving me the once over, as he didn’t like people knowing his private business.

He was a joker and well-liked by those he allowed close.

I sense a very loyal family man who didn’t take to everyone and if he didn’t like you he wouldn’t put off any time for you.

He makes me feel your time together was shorter than most but during that period he felt he’d found his soulmate.

I sense he’d been through emotional trauma before he met you and wanted to thank you for making him feel whole again.

He is very protective of you and makes me aware of disharmony and animosity directed at you from family sources and wants you to “stand your ground”.

He was met and accompanied to spirit side by a younger man who I sense passed unexpectedly before his time.

I feel they held a close relationship prior to the young man’s passing. The close bond they share feels like that of brothers. They are happy to be reunited.

I sense a calm, peaceful energy from him as he lets you know he is safe.

VERDICT

He was a private, loyal family man who very much said it like it was and didn’t take to everyone.

We were both hurt in past relationships and I feel we put each other back together emotionally. We said we were soulmates who’d found each other.

We were together for 11 short years.

His family split when he and his brother were young, but they always maintained a close relationship and he was devastated when his brother died in an accident.

There has been a lot of trouble from his family since his death. I can understand why he’s telling me to stand my ground.
