Summer has finally arrived in the Northeast!

Between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, we celebrate several holidays, all of which commemorate the lives of people close to us. We honor our parents, thank our loved ones in the military, and also reminisce of those we have lost. Recently I spoke with someone who told me that in previous years, Memorial weekend was all about picnics, spring cleaning and just taking time to relax. Now, however, she is more conscious of memorializing and honoring our troops and others who are steadfastly fighting for our freedom.

I'm sure for many of you the Fourth of July has taken on a different meaning as well . . . it is more than just fireworks. It can be especially difficult coming off Father's Day and then going into the Fourth of July. Both Mother's Day and Father's Day can be trying for those who have lost parents, while those who still have parents are celebrating their gratitude for the influences and love their parents have given throughout their lives. Even if parents may have passed, take time to remember the gifts they left behind for you, and share those memories with others. Everything that is left behind is intended to have a meaning, if not in your life, than perhaps for someone else.

Warmly,
Suzane

The first question in this newsletter was sent to me by Sue:

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful gift of communicating with the DP's and for letting us know that they do hear us. My son Keith left us in 2006. We miss him very much. Is he happy? I just need to know if he is happy. I know that he did not want to leave but had no choice. I do not know why it is so important for me to know if he is happy. Guess it is because I am his mom and love and miss him so much. Also, I haven't "touched" his room since he left. Oh, I go in, and cry and talk to him, but I do not know how or what to do with his room. I do not want him to come back one day and see that his things have been moved, and think that I gave up on him coming back. I know that that sounds rather odd, but I do not know what to do and I do not know why I think that. His dad and I need peace and some way to say "Goodbye," I feel. Please, can you help?

Thank you so much . . . thank you for caring so much about those beautiful ones that have passed on. The Lord knows how special you are.

Sue:
My deepest thoughts for your pain and loss. It seems that you don't quite know whether or not your son is "here" living, or has gone into spirit. I only get that he left, and without validating that fact, I honestly wouldn't be able to address the questions you so deeply need answers to. I understand the pain of not knowing. Until that time when you know this key information, all that I can suggest is that you engage in the big "Trust." That is, the best and most significant way for you to have any peace is to place your heart in the hands of God, or that place of Divine protection. I'm sorry that I can't give you the exact answer you may want to hear, but since I'm not clear from your message as to what you feel has actually been your son's fate, I have to answer honestly.

Again, for now, just place things in the hands of God and send prayers of love and being cared for to your son.

All the blessings to you and your family,
Suzane

This second question was sent to me by Pauline:

I went to your Enfield seminar [in April] and had my hand up for a question, but of course the room was so large and you couldn't get to everyone, so . . . I have to ask this because I do not understand it.

My brother passed on December 13, 2007. He lived in Arizona where there is a two-hour time difference from the East Coast. On the day he passed, we were sent home early due to snow. When I got home, I sat down on my sofa and turned the TV on to watch the weather report. I looked over at a mantle clock my brother had given me and it had stopped at 10 of 3. Odd, because it had been working fine in the AM. (Of course, now I realize what it was). I then looked over at the cable box and it showed 1:30 PM. Upon hearing the passing of my brother later than evening, the Medical Examiner stated that he had passed somewhere between 2:00 and 3:00 PM Arizona time. So here is the part I do not understand: the 10 of 3 that stopped was apparently the time he passed, but his passing hadn't actually happened yet, either my time or his time. Now, I didn't know he was home from work that day nor that he felt a little under the weather, even though we were quite close and talked either by phone or email quite frequently. So what is this timing issue all about? Was it a premonition??? What??? I am baffled and need your advice . . .

Thank you,
Pauline

Pauline:

I believe, quite honestly, that what you were receiving was, yes, a premonition with the clock stopping at the time when he was to die. This was contact or pre-contact from your brother. The synchronicity of all the numbers including the clock, and when the M.E. said his passing was - are all signs of his letting you know he was around you at that juncture, and that he most definitely wanted you to know that, even in retrospect. He did this because of his love and connection to you.

Since you attended my seminar, you know that I talk about the many electrical ways that are quite common for DP contact. Remember our DP's don't have their bodies, but they still have their "God-consciousness" connection, and can work thru electrical happenings which are quite common.

Even though some of the details were sketchy, what is wonderful is that you knew what was happening. This was because of the love you have for your brother. And it is equally wonderful that you are acknowledging his connection to you.

All the best to you,
Suzane

This question was asked by Terence:

The days before Mum died, she suddenly took a great interest in the welfare of all the other patients in her ward. She gave me a large tin of sweets to share with other patients in her ward every day. Mum was always a generous soul, always thinking of others' welfare. Dad and I visited her every day in the hospital. When she lapsed into the coma, her whole body would shake from the ventilation unit she was on. In fact, I would pray for her to die and for her suffering to end. I look forward to seeing them all soon.

Terence

Terence,
I don't know what soon is but . . . I would say your mum is well and not in the state she was in at the end of her physical life.

I have no doubt with her personality of giving, your mum would give up until her transition. The essence of a person is always prevalent upon transition. I've encountered many a proud person who would still think of those they loved before themselves while passing, and to share that love with so many others. You are blessed, as I'm sure you know, to have had your mum for a mother.

And when it is your time, your mum will be there to greet you with the same love you've always known.

Warmly,
Suzane

This final question was asked by Linda:

Hi Suzane,
I lost my son in a car accident two years ago, and am still having a difficult time with it. I was a single mother and he was my only child. He was 25 years old and we were very close. He always used to tell me not to worry because he would always take care of me . . . now he is gone.

So many weird things happened that day. He had his own house but came to visit me after work and took me shopping and we had dinner. I've never told anyone this because they would think I'm losing my mind, but Michael was different that day. He was very happy but . . . I can't explain it . . . I was upset with him but I couldn't fight with him because he was so different. When I was with him I was peaceful, but he had this light surrounding him like the sun was shining on him, but there was no sun. He was so bright. What was happening and why was it happening?

Thank you,
Linda

Linda,
My deepest thoughts of love go out to you for the bond you share with your son. I know you feel his loss deeply. It is that enduring love that will continue although your son is not in his body. Our souls, the greatest part of each of us, "knows" when we are to depart from this plane of existence. The rule is three to six months before. Since you were with your son right before, you were seeing this reality reflected in the light of energy around him prior to his transition, and I believe he knew this as well, on a soul level. You were wanting to be upset with him but unable, and this was part of you knowing. Believe me, many mothers know or have a sense that their children will be leaving their bodies to go into spirit.

I want to add one other very important and significant point. You had with your son a very special blessing or grace. Although we never know exactly why at the time, looking back to what happened we can feel that we were blessed to witness that connection of love that goes on even into and beyond physical death.

Hold onto those feelings and thoughts of what you experienced and you will know the love you were both graced with. It is not something you need to share with others, for you know it in your heart. No need to allow others to negate the love you experienced with your son prior to his passing. Your honor to him says it all.

Blessings,
Suzane

Do you have a question for Suzane? Email editor@NorthStar2LLC.com.

I discovered a few quotes this month which I would like to share with you. This first quote is from Betty Kovac's book, The Miracle of Death:

Birth and death are not two different states, but rather they are different aspects of the same state.

Next, a quote from Henry David Thoreau:

If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

And to close out this newsletter, a quote from Emmett Fox:

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem.

It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble,
how hopeless the outlook,
how muddled the tangle,
how great the mistake;
a sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough, you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world.
