Large family struck by tragedy will be reunited

-

Dear June

I COME from a very large family, being one of nine.

Last year I lost my younger brother, who was only 62, and then my 69-year-old sister joined him a few months later.

My younger sister was killed many years ago in an accident, aged seven, and my two older brothers didn’t reach retirement.

Our parents died with cancer-related illnesses, as did all of my brothers. There are only four of us left now and I want to make sure those already over are together and with our parents.

June Says

Those who suffer the loss of a loved one hope they will be reunited and looked after by those close to them who’d previously passed.

Your family will be together again with your parents as they would have collected each one of them individual­ly after they passed in order to lead them safely to spirit.

I can hear a very distinctiv­e gentleman’s laugh (deep and raspy) echoing loudly around me and I’m aware of a man drawing closer. I sense a father figure. A tall, thin man with a happy face is the first to come forward.

There are many figures and smiling faces behind him and they are all standing patiently, as if awaiting their turn in an orderly queue.

I get a feeling of authority with this man but also a great sense of fun.

I feel pain and discomfort in my left leg. Did he have problems with his legs prior to passing?

I can hear the name Jannie/ Jan being spoken from spirit side and I’m impressed to let you know she is safely cocooned within the crowd of people standing together.

My goodness, there are so many people connected to you and they have all come forward as a group, which

gives me the sense they would have faced new experience­s in their lives together.

Which male family member had difficulty with his speech?

I am impressed to let you know this issue is now resolved.

I am shown a view of a quiet beach with the waves rolling to the shore and I have a feeling of calm.

All of your family are there, as if this was a special place to meet. I feel it has an important significan­ce.

Have no fear as your family is all together and will patiently await the arrival of their loving members, who will one day make it complete.

VERDICT

My father was tall and thin. He was respected as head of the family but would also laugh with us often.

He had thrombosis and this affected his legs.

It’s funny, we were taught to wait in an orderly fashion when we went out as a family as there were so many of us. My sister was called Jan. My younger brother always had a slight stutter that got worse when he was stressed.

We used to travel to Porth in Cornwall every year on holiday and we would all play on the beach every day.
