Mum may have passed but her love still lives on
Dear June
It has been almost four years since we lost our beautiful mum.
We were all at a family gathering for her and dad’s silver wedding anniversary when she took unwell and passed away.
She’d mentioned she felt unwell a few days prior to the gettogether,
but as we’d arranged some special surprises we were reluctant to let her cancel. On the day, she didn’t look particularly well and dad was worried but we thought she might pick up. We both feel very guilty. Does she forgive us? Sheila, Peebles

Almost immediately after reading your letter, I became aware of a small, red-headed lady who I instinctively knew was your mum.
She had a kind way about her and spoke with a soft sing-song accent I couldn’t quite place. I do not think she was originally from the Edinburgh or Peebles areas.
She initially comes forward with two large dogs (they look similar to labradorretriever) and following on is a rather robust-looking man.
The lady has the most wonderful smile and I feel no sense of sadness about her.
She would’ve been very chatty and loved nothing more than to socialise. I don’t feel she would have needed much persuasion to attend a family gathering!
I sense a pressure in and around the head area prior to her passing (a stroke?). I feel she previously suffered a number of small strokes.
The man accompanying her is of a quiet nature and much prefers to stand in the background, but I have a strong sense he is her father and he passed away when she was quite young.
They are so happy to be together again. Your lovely mum was a wonderful homemaker and lived for her family but was also very matter of factly and got
My wife was in the centre holding hands with our mums.
Our dads were also there. Was this a sign she is ok?

You have been one of the privileged few to have been lucky enough to receive a visitation from spirit.
It is commonplace after a passing, in such visitations in
on with things. She would recover from any hurdle life threw at her.
She wouldn’t have wanted to become dependent on others through illness as she was an independent lady.
She knows you all miss her but insists she is well and happy and wants to let you know she is close to you all.
She also wanted to make mention of the lilies. Their smell reminds you of her and to let you know when you smell them she is close.
Her love surrounds you all.

VERDICT
Mum’s dad died when she was about 10. She missed him and would talk of him often, as well as the two dogs they had to leave when they moved house.
She came from Wales but after her dad died she and her mum moved to the Edinburgh area, where her mum married again.
Mum loved us all so much and always just “got on with things”.
She loved to socialise and talk.
She passed away with a stroke but had previously had a few small strokes.
Mum used Lily of the Valley talcum powder and I now use it, too, as the smell reminds me of her. dream state, that you firstly become aware of a bright light where people dressed in white emerge from within the light to make themselves known to you.
Both families are letting you know they are all together once more with your lovely wife in the centre of their love and care, where she will be looked after.
