Thoughts from Suzane

Hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving, or "Happy-Thanks-Giving!" . . . I have to say this was the first year in a very long time where I actually received several emails from old friends, colleagues, and acquaintances expressing those very words. Words that say how blessed folks feel to have friends, old and new, from all the corners and aspects of their lives. I found honestly these words very profound and uplifting at a time where there seems to be so much uncertainty.

In re-examining the past year, and the years leading up to this time, I see that so many people have gone through a variety of changes, often challenging, to be sure. But despite the hardships, working through difficult changes can nonetheless create strength and a form of community, if you will. Indeed, that is what happened during the last recession. I can't tell you how many people I've met in my travels, obviously well seasoned, who express that these times of economic hardship intensify DP contact. Indeed, it is during tough times like these that we find what is really important and place that at the top of our list of priorities.

I myself am very happy and quite thankful for the success of my recent visits to Portland and Seattle, where I reconnected with so many that I haven't seen in years, and of course met some "newbies" - so very special for all. Just an aside for my friends out west - I will be returning in the Fall of 2010 to both Portland and Seattle. Please keep an eye on my calendar of events.

I am also so very thankful that I have been given the opportunity to return to Roanoke, Virginia for my "Hope for the Holidays" yearly event on December 3rd. It's always so nice to head for the sunny South at this time of the year, and reconnect with all the warm people there.

I can't help but point out - as I'm sure you are aware - that we are now at the end of 2009. Really unbelievable! Now may be a time to ask ourselves: "How did I do this year - spiritually, personally, and professionally?" For those of us who had especially difficult circumstances in our lives to deal with, let's ask, "How did I handle it?" Did we learn from lessons passed how to apply what we know to be true of ourselves, in relation to our personal paths? Just something to consider and reflect on.

Especially for those who have lost someone this year, or any year really, consider asking, "How can I can embrace Spirit and learn to feel the love of [your beloved DP]?" And further, what can our DPs instill in us? NO MATTER if the DP most special in your heart at this moment was blood-related or just someone who touched your life for a split second. Whatever it takes to pull from Spirit, connect with those still in our hearts, and give us strength - let that be our guidance and inspiration.

Inspiring also is that with "Happy-Thanks-Giving" officially behind us, the holidays of December will soon arrive. Now is a perfect time to honor and again embrace what truly is important to us - and it doesn't cost a single dime!

Let's take the opportunity to open up our hearts to those we love, give a hug when needed, and make a call to someone who needs to talk. Help someone cross the street or carry their groceries. Light candles for those in need, including ourselves. Make dinner for someone who could use a meal. Give of yourself, of your company. All, of course, if the situation warrants. These are just some of the many small things that mean so much and, as I say, are really the BIG things in life.

Have a blessed holiday season.

Warmly,
Suzane

Through interactive exercises and techniques, you will learn the many specific ways that contact with the Other Side occurs and have the opportunity to experience very real connections.

The Suzane Northrop Show
BlogTalkRadio.com

First Monday of the month, 6 PM EST / 3 PM PST

Please Note: With my new TV show airing on HereTV, and an expanded traveling schedule, a weekly radio show has become undoable at this time. However, I am now hosting a show on Blog Talk Radio! Keep an eye on my calendar for more information.

December 7th: My guest is Jay Weidner, President of Sacred Mysteries Productions. Jay will talk about his new film, The Ultimate Trip: Infinity Journey Beyond Death. The Ultimate Trip features noted experts Gregg Braden, Neale Donald Walsch and Brian Weiss (to name a few), who bring messages of hope and optimism concerning the most mysterious act in a human life; the end of this life and journey to the beyond.

Because You Asked

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

Suzane,

I know you are coming to my area of Roanoke this month and I am so looking forward to it. I wondered if you could tell me if my family will come through then. I'm bringing my brother who lost his twin brother and he's having a very hard time and says there's nothing here for him anymore. He's so lost without his twin. We are bringing some of their items.

Always love seeing you.
Brenda

Brenda,
I'm very much looking forward to returning to the "Hope for the Holidays" event in Roanoke on December 3rd. It's always so special to see everyone in the Virginia area again, and meet new folks. I'm always so graciously greeted which of course makes me feel so welcome.

I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your brother, and of course for the twin brother's loss. As we all know, twins have that very special bond.

I would suggest that the family continue to rally and support your brother as much as possible. To be honest, there is no magic wand to relieve a personal loss. It's a path each of us must walk - unless we are the first to go!

Please note that I don't have any control over what DPs show up or get through to deliver messages at my events. This is always one of the most difficult aspects of my public work - to not be able to serve everyone personally. At the seminars, many often find that even if their own DPs do not come through, just being in a room with so much DP activity, warmth, love, and energy is often very healing. It is in fact miraculous in a way to witness the loved ones who are there to connect. However, if nothing clicks for you at the seminar, there is always the private session alternative to consider.

Another point . . . yes, you may bring personal items if you wish. They may come up in validation but it's not necessary to have personal items along to receive a message. I know many people want to do something to help facilitate a connection, and if you feel bringing personal items will help, please feel free!

All the best to you and your family,
Suzane

This second question was sent to me by Amy:

Dear Suzane,

I have been listening to you on "Craig and Co." for many years now and am always moved by the effect you have on people whom you are able to connect to the loved ones they lost.

I lost my grandmother in 2002 and still miss her so very much. I named my daughter after her (she was born in 2001) so I didn't know my grandmother's death was so near. She was my best friend. We lived together for many years and somehow I believe her death was somewhat my fault. In 1995 she fell and broke her hip while walking on the path next to the house. I didn't return home for many hours (I was in my early 20's) but I feel had I been there she would not had suffered so much and perhaps recovered much more quickly. I don't know if that is even reasonable but I can't help feeling it. She passed in my arms and took her last breath as I was giving her all my love.

I would love nothing more than to know that she is OK and looking after her eight year old namesake. Please answer me if and when you can, if not now maybe another time . . . my grandmother won't be going anywhere . . . (wink, wink)

Just know that each time I listen to your show I have to bring extra makeup to work because I am so moved.

Thank you for your time.
Amy

Amy,

It sounds like you have a wonderful grandmother and even more, a wonderful connection to her. It is very a big part of most of us who have such a strong connection that we feel that we've not done enough for our DPs when they were here.

Rest assured that your grandmother is okay on the Other Side, and of course looking after her eight year old namesake. You gave your grandmother a great honor by naming your daughter after her. Yes, your grandmother knows how much you love her.

STOP kicking yourself! When we're in our twenties, we don't often get home right away. If you were meant to prevent this occurrence, you would have been there to do so. I assure you that your grandmother never held on to this when she was here; nor would she want you to be holding onto this undeserved and self-imposed guilt for the rest of your life or even another second. Rather, your grandmother would want you to remember your time spent together, and the marvelous connection you had and still have.

Finally, I feel compelled to tell you that you can talk (our loud or telepathically) to your grandmother yourself and tell her all this. For there is no separation when there is love, not even death.

Keep listening to Gary's show . . . I always love coming to your area.

Warmly,
Suzane

This final question was asked by Jodi:

Suzane

A number of years ago my brother-in-law passed away. He was due to come home from the hospital but left us that night. I was awakened that night with what looked like him telling me it was OK. Can this actually happen? It has me wondering if it is true.

Also, this past May my sister-in-law passed as well as my brother-in-law's wife. I would like to know if they are together once more.

Thank you,
Jodi

Jodi,
The answer to your question is absolutely Yes! These things happen. Our DPs not only come to let us know that they are OK, but it is their responsibility to do so. And they do it in whatever ways they can to get through to us, because they love us.

Being aware is all about knowing that those we love who have crossed over are OK on the Other Side. And yes, part of their job when they get there is to help us in our process.

I would also add that you were the receptive one to receive this connection of love which was why your brother-in-law came to you.

Since there was definitely a love connection between your brother-in-law and his wife, yes, they are together. It is very common that one partner passes not very long after the first partner's passing. There are many statistics showing this scientifically and it honestly makes a lot of sense when there is such a strong connection.

And yes, if your sister-in-law was part of that love connection, she is together with the rest of the family.

I hope this provides you with some comfort, although I know these losses must be very hard to bear. But for those still here on Earth, to know that those we love are still connected to us can help us feel a bit better in some way. Which is why your brother-in-law came to you in the first instance.

Warmly,
Suzane

On a Personal Note

The passing of a child is particularly difficult, as any parent who has lost a child will attest to. For the past 13 years, Compassionate Friends (a support group for parents who have lost a child) hosts a Worldwide Candle Lighting each December.

According to their website, "The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting unites family and friends around the globe in lighting candles for one hour to honor and remember children who have died at any age from any cause. As candles are lit at 7 pm local time, creating a virtual wave of light, hundreds of thousands of persons commemorate and honor children in a way that transcends all ethnic, cultural, religious, and political boundaries."

This year's candle lighting will take place on Sunday, December 13 at 7 pm in your local time zone. If you would like more information on the Worldwide Candle Lighting, or about Compassionate Friends, visit their website at www.compassionatefriends.org.
