Happy post-Labor Day!

I know for many that, "Oh my God! Summer is over and winter is around the corner" thoughts abound. While others who have had a brutally hot summer will more welcome the fall. And why not? Let us not forget that in many parts of the country and Canada, the fall foliage is one of Nature's more spectacular movies.

For me, I'm not quite ready to let summer go, but since I love watching the leaves do their colorful dance, that will make the transition easier.

Indeed, fall can be a new beginning. Especially for all of you who have school-age children, a totally different routine awaits. For many others, fall is a favorite time to travel and experience new adventures. Whatever it is that is you are about to begin, enjoy! A new journey awaits!

If you listen to my Monday night radio show, you might have heard me speak a bit about my proposed cable television venture. Well . . . I am happy to announce here that my new TV show, "The Afterlife", will premier on OUTtv in Canada this Sunday, September 7th at 4 pm PST and 7 pm EST. For more info, go to www.outtv.ca . And soon the first show will air on HEREtv in the States — stay tuned to my website and radio show for exact times and air dates in the States. Also see www.heretv.com .

This is very exciting and I want to thank all of you who throughout the years have supported my work. Many of you have often said that I should have my own show and it looks like you were right. And, the time is now! I hope you will enjoy viewing the shows as much as enjoyed I filming them. The "complete run-through" format includes me doing unedited readings, so you will be able to experience the raw power of each event coming thru your television screen and into your living room.

I will also soon have my own slot on "MySpace" for those of you who visit there. This will give me another avenue for keeping everyone informed on where I will be and when, and one more way to stay connected.

Warmly,
Suzane

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

My mom passed away three years ago. She came to live with me and my husband and four children. I took care of her for seven months while she was bedridden and dying from cancer (lymphoma). We were always pretty close but grew even closer at that time. Her death affected me tremendously, and created conflicts between me and my two brothers and between me and my husband. One night, about a year later, I was laying on the couch, my hands under and behind my head, crying like I have never cried in my life, thinking to myself how tired I was, begging God to bring me home. All of a sudden I felt someone squeeze my hand and felt an electrical impulse travel from my hands all the way down thorough my feet. I jumped up and looked behind me thinking it was my husband squeezing my hand, but no one was there. Was that my mother?

Dot

Dot:
My deepest thoughts for the loss of your mother. Now, there is NO CERTAIN WAY one can completely say it was your mother, but . . . in all my years of connecting with loved ones, so many people have experienced a similar happening. I would say that it was your mother. I believe that while you were in that state of tremendous despair, she was letting you know she is with you, and wanting you to know that you don't have to feel alone. I also believe she wants you to continue your time here on Earth, and do your best to enjoy life. When it is your time, she will be waiting for you. Remember, you can be at home with God here in your body, mind and soul.

Blessings,
Suzane

This second question was sent to me by Linda:

Suzane,

Almost all of my adult relatives have passed, including my father in 1999 and mother in my house Thanksgiving 2004. I was the caretaker for my mother and visited her almost every day at her condo on my way home from work to prepare her medications, food, etc. I'm a nurse and never let her see me cry. I would cry on my trip home and talk out loud to my dad. When I got in bed at night and "settled in," I would feel the weight of my covers being pulled tight over my feet and lower legs by what felt like someone or something (a prior pet?) sitting on the bed. At times, this would creep up the side of my legs to about my hips. No one was there and no indentations were in the covers. I felt this was comforting to me, but my question is: how do I know if this was a passed relative and if so, who? Or is it one of our passed pets now healthy enough to jump on the bed to provide me comfort? Or, just my imagination?

Oh, since mom passed this no longer happens with one exception: I was talking out loud to both parents and asked for one of them to sit on my bed again. Shortly thereafter, it did. Only this time, it was not as heavy and didn't creep up. But I definitely felt like someone or thing was there. I don't feel the "presence" of any relatives but when I need help I call to my mom and things seem to work out.

Thank you for your time,
Linda

Linda:

How giving of you to have been a nurse for your mother, visiting her daily to care for her.

What you are describing with the bedcovers and similar happenings can and does occur when someone is in need of spiritual comforting during times of trial and stress, or when we are in need of spiritual guidance, or simply wanting to know that our loved ones are around. And yes, when our beloved pets pass, there is often a feeling of their presence, like jumping up on the bed, couch or chair with us - just as you suspect.

Now, who or what this was, is always the question, of course. What was your first impression at the time? Usually that's a strong indicator of what was happening. When you were specifically asking for a parent to join you and they did, I would have to believe it was one of your parents coming through from the Other Side.

The fact that you feel very calm throughout all of this is, I believe, a continued validation of their love for you.

All the best,
Suzane

This final question was asked by Susan:

Suzane,

Over the years we have had sightings of a ghost who I believe is my husband's aunt's father, Mr. Brunke. The sightings have been infrequent, however he has been coming more often lately and I wonder if he is trying to tell us something. Any suggestions?

Susan

Susan,
First I would like to clarify that if this is in fact your husband's aunt's father, Mr. Brunke, he would NOT be a ghost. Rather, he is what I call a DP (dead person) - a loved one who has passed over into spirit and who knows he is on the Other Side, but is trying to do some good by communicating to the loved ones left behind in the physical.

You say you had "sightings" of Mr. Brunke, so it would seem that you are recognizing the spirit. If it is him, and his appearances are more frequent, there is a reason for that. There could very well be a message he is trying to get through to you, as recurrent DP visits can happen when those in spirit want us to know something and we are not getting it. What that message is, however, may only become known over time. To try and find out what the message is, consider asking him. (DP's hear us better than we hear them.) Then open your heart and mind and "listen."

Warmly,
Suzane

I came upon this inspirational quote from Hands Full of Living by Kathleen Norris (1880-1966), and wanted to share it with all of you:

Before you begin a thing, remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. If you could see them clearly, naturally you could do a great deal to get rid of them but you can't. You can only see one thing clearly and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.
