With Mother’s Day having been celebrated this month, I thought I’d explore how to communicate with the ones we love who have left their lives on Earth.
I know many of us greatly miss our parents, grandparents and other special people once they’ve died. But- if their life continues as soon as they take their last human breath, has there truly been a death? I would argue that no, there has not.
A big part of my role at the Fraser Coast Hospice as a Pastoral Care volunteer is phoning the families of clients who have passed away. Recently I had the pleasure of chatting to a husband whose wife had spent her last days there. Although he belonged to a conservative church, he shared with me the amazement he felt when he saw his wife’s spirit leave her body. This was the moment of her death. Once I assured him that I didn’t think he was crazy (his words) he told me she had visited him several times in their home and discouraged him from going to the cemetery because she wasn’t there. She made that point very strongly. These visitations brought him comfort and I would guess, have helped him cope a little easier with his loss.
If you share my belief that life continues after death, then you might like to know how you can best stay in touch with those who have transitioned to the next world.
Firstly, don’t continue to imagine your loved ones as elderly, ill or injured. All physical problems belonged to their body, not their spirit.
My Mum, who lost her sight during her older age, wanted me to know that she could see again and felt marvellous. Likewise, if a person had severe emotional or mental challenges on Earth, they will no longer feel depressed, hopeless or confused. This also applies to those who have taken their own life. Healing is offered to all and deeper insights about the life that was lived are developed without judgement. A person may regret their actions but is given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes and missed opportunities.
Communicating with your loved ones isn’t hard. Assume they are vibrant, well and want to hear from you. There’s no need to speak out loud. They will be able to hear your thoughts, so find a quiet place, focus your intention and just start chatting. You could hold a photo or other object that links you to them if you’d like, but this isn’t necessary. Your love will send your thoughts to them with wings. Any strong emotion will propel your thoughts to the spirit world.
You may not hear their voice answering you but look for signs that you have been heard. Sometimes you’ll come across something when you least expect it that triggers a special memory, scent or feeling that connects you to that one person you have been thinking of most. Our love for our mothers, grandmothers and mother-figures is often incredibly strong. Why not use that love to start your own conversation if you feel inspired to give it a try?
