The first question in this newsletter was sent to me by Janice:
Hello Suzane,
I and my husband were fortunate to have met you at the workshop at Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, NY last Fall. We enjoyed your good sense of humor in the face of a subject that can be so sad.
I lost my Dad in May of 2008. My friend "Barb" lost her father a little over a year before that. Barb has been a very good friend of mine for about thirteen years. She has been through a rough time recently following an accident which has possibly permanently limited her walking, and she now has a skin cancer removal in a conspicuous spot.
Anyhow, Barb called me up on a Saturday morning to say she had a dream about my Dad. And, yes, she did know my Dad, who was a very taciturn person, in waking life. She said she was trying to "step up" somewhere or onto something and my Dad was helping her. She also said my Dad was receiving an award - something very prestigious. She said it had nothing to do with his career on Earth.
I felt a deep and comforting connection with my Dad after his death - symbols, particularly birds and the great blue heron, a bird as solitary as my Dad tended to be, seem to come to me often. I feel very blessed by this and have not felt as devastated by my Dad's death as I thought I would be. Lately I haven't thought of him as much as I used to.
What perturbed me was that my sons, one a teen and one an eight year old, heard me discussing the dream and each responded by saying that Granddad was helping Barb make her way to Heaven. The older one even said he thought she would die, not right away, but in a couple of years. He asked me to have her see a doctor.
Yikes!! What they said connected with a very concerned feeling I've had about her recently. Would you be able to shed any light on this? Obviously it has become a disturbing rather than comforting communication if indeed it is that!
Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.
Most sincerely,
Janice
Sharon:
First of all, I am very sorry for your loss but have to note that you really are handling it very well.
You have received so many wonderful connections from your dad. As you probably know from attending my workshop at Omega (thanks so much for coming, and for the kind words - it was such a wonderfully diverse group), one of the most important aspects of my work is validating our connection directly. And you are doing just that with your dad! Your absence of grief indicates to me that you are really tuned into the fact that death is but a transition to another form of life.
I have spoken at every event I've ever had about dreams being the number one way that DP contact happens. But it's important to determine the type of dreams you are having, that is, whether or not it is a DP contact dream. Remember, too, that each dream is personal to each individual.
All of which bears on your relationship to your friend. I totally understand your concern and upset for her, but I also feel it's important to try and put it all into perspective, especially regarding your thoughts, the children overhearing, and their take as well.
Although young children can be very tuned in, your kids are a little older than that. While they may be getting valid insight, they may also be projecting their own thoughts and fears into the equation. I would stress this: whatever your friend's soul path is, it is her soul path, and only her soul ultimately knows when it will be time to move on. There is nothing any one of us can do about another person's path except love them and walk with them for the time we share their company on the physical plane. Hope and pray for the best possible outcome, while remembering that what will be, will be.
One more thought: I would encourage your sons to keep the door open to listening within, but would also let them know that they need to be careful with what they say, and how they interpret. Let them know, for instance, that signs of "death" include many other things (e.g., end of an era, termination of a relationship, losing a job, etc.) besides physical death.
Hope this helps. All the best to you and your family.
Blessings,
Suzane
This second question was sent to me by Susan:
Hi Suzane,
I recently took your workshop at the Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY and absolutely loved it. I meant to ask you a question, but didn't so here it is. Can our loved ones who have passed over hear us when we talk to them, whether we silently talk to them in our minds, or out loud verbally?
Thanks so much!
Susan
Susan:
I'm so glad you enjoyed my Omega workshop. It's always special there.
To answer your question in a word, YES! Speaking out loud or telepathically works with DP communication!
In fact, it's much easier for them to hear us than for us to hear them. I address these issues in my book Second Chance.
It's important also to understand that thoughts of love, or mind-to-mind communication, is not only common, but can also happen randomly when we least expect it. Usually, the DPs know and respect what is our comfort zone and will take that into consideration when sending us messages, which may or may not be able to receive.
But meanwhile, our DPs are listening and do hear us and are very happy to receive the thoughts we send to them.
Warmly,
Suzane
This final question was asked by Sandi:
Hi Suzane!
I so enjoy your show! I am not sure if I can get you through radio, but will definitely be checking.
My question is this: my grandparents have all passed. One of my grandmothers, whom I called Mamere (French), raised me. Does she have any messages for me? Is she ok? I am a strong believer in the afterlife and have seen her in my dreams and once standing in front of me. Is there anything she does to contact me or my dad?
Thank you and God Bless you for bringing peace to the living people who look for that comfort.
Sandi
Sandi,
I'm so glad you enjoy my show . . . I so enjoy my Canadian audience. Be sure to let the network know. I'm planning a Canadian tour in the spring so keep posted.
First off, you have already received communication from your grandmother. Dreams are the number one way we are contacted. When we are visited by our loved ones in dreams there is often, as you indicate, a sense of recognizing their presence.
It seems, too, that you were not dreaming when you saw Mamere quite literally standing in front of you. If this is the correct interpretation, know that this is a very powerful connection and a sign of deep and unending love, even with no words spoken.
The same is true with the dream connection. It takes work for them to communicate with us this way. With the visits you describe, it is inescapable that Mamere wants you to know that she is ok and wants you to know she loves you. Her presence says it all.
If you think he will be receptive, you can pass these experiences along to your dad.
Again, thank you for your kind and supportive words.
Blessings,
Suzane
