Thoughts from Suzane

I just returned from separate one-week trips to the West Coast and Florida. One of the very interesting things I find in my travels to different places is seeing how people live differently on the surface, while underneath what is important to many is often the same.

One thing most of us have in common is celebrating Valentine's Day, which makes February the month of the heart, the month of Love.

The history of St. Valentine himself is of some mystery. He is said to have been sent to prison and killed for performing marriage ceremonies. For this and other reasons, he is accepted as the patron saint of Love. Google him, read about him — very interesting!

On St. Valentine's Day, the theme of Love is everywhere, but the Love that all too often is forgotten is how to love oneself, and be true. Try not to forget that.

We all know Love is much deeper than the commercial hype of how to show love to your partner on St. Valentine's Day - with gifts, flowers, dinner out, etc. And while all of that can be quite wonderful, wouldn't we be wise to embrace the qualities of true Love: sharing, talking, taking a walk together, and most especially trying to keep our hearts open on a daily basis?

Nowadays, as I see in my travels, the themes of Love and relationships are quite varied. Many re-partner after divorce or death, while others simply choose to live alone. Those who have weathered the loss of a child somehow find inner strength personally, with a devotion to God or greater consciousness, and are able to find peace. These are people I regard with deep respect, for God knows what they had to endure to continue to make it work.

While working hard to keep families together by juggling jobs, caring for the children and taking on all the pressure of daily life, we need also to remember how important it is to keep the spark going, if we can, and to recognize when we cannot. Indeed, many couples struggle to stay in a relationship that should have ended a long time ago, and yet they remain there so as not to be "alone," when in fact "alone" is exactly what they are.

Recently, I spent time with the partner of one my dear friends who passed last year and now he, "alone" at the relatively young age of 45, must figure out how to move on and heal from the loss of someone he was with for some twenty-three years. Being part of the universal "connected Love" will help him.

Whenever I am asked how are we are part of the "connected Love" that exists in this Universe, I answer by reflecting on the fact that an ocean is but one ocean, with each drop of water making up the whole. Similarly, each of us is a part of the whole of God-consciousness, and that includes all our loved-ones in the world of spirit. We are all part of God, and God is Love - the strongest force always.

The true essence of Valentine's Day then is to love daily, which is so much more than flowers, candy or dinner out. For it takes each of us to first love ourselves as part of God, and know we are loved and are Love. It is then that we can openly and honestly share our Love with others.

So take time this on the month of the heart, this month of Love, to recognize how you are part of the universal consciousness of God, and trust that you will be cared for and guided - no matter what the circumstances.

Warmly,
Suzane

Because You Asked

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

Suzane,

I enjoy your newsletter and the gift of your wisdom so much. I must share with you what happened when my beautiful English springer spaniel Sheba passed in early October.

Sheba had been our beloved friend and companion for all 15 years of her life. My mom and I knew the time was coming closer that she would pass, and we made her comfortable in my mom's bedroom, as she did not seem to be in pain. She was not able to move or get up. I had been praying very hard to my dad (who died in 1998) to come and take her with him to the Other Side, where I hope he is with all of our dearly departed dogs. We thought for sure she would pass away during the night, but she was still with us in the morning. One of us was checking on her, talking to her, petting her many times during that morning, but we weren't together there with her. At about 11 AM we were both there with her, and as I was petting her side and looking into her face, I saw what seemed to be actual tears coming out of her eyes. I was totally amazed, because I've never seen a dog cry tears like that before. A few seconds later, while lying on her side, she began to move her legs VERY fast, as if she were running very fast. Then she was gone! It seemed to me almost as if she were running to Heaven.

When I told my friend Paul, he said he thought we had glimpsed a little piece of Heaven. When I told other people, they either looked at us with pity or said she probably just had a hallucination when her brain shut down or that it was a coincidence. I have thought about the experience many times since she died, and I don't think I shall ever forget what I witnessed.

Do you really think my dad's spirit may have come to get her to bring her over to the Other Side? Do you think they could be together? Can a dog's spirit remain behind to see the grief we have after her death? Do you think it was a coincidence that tears seemed to come out of her eyes and that she then seemed to run out of her body? Do you think she might have waited to cross over until both my mom and I were with her?

I know that people say animals don't have souls and they are not as valuable as humans, but I have never believed that. To me, animals have qualities superior to humans in that they can forgive, love unconditionally, bear no malice, etc. I have never thought they get the credit they deserve for what special creatures they are.

THANKS for reading this and for your most valued input.

Hayley

Hayley,
What wonderful special people you and your mom are! Don't let anyone ever tell you that animals are not part of God's kingdom. All beings, even the smallest of beings, are all part of the essence of love and energy.

If you've ever studied any species you will learn what their purpose is. It is inaccurate to think that animals don't have souls, or serve a wonderful purpose, or provide service. Dogs especially - they help patients feel better in hospitals, sniff out bombs and drugs, and comfort children in their illnesses. Dogs are our "best friends" and it's a title they have earned.

Yes, I too agree we have much to learn from dogs about unconditional love, and how they never judge us by how much money we have, what we wear, where we live, or if we are pretty or not. A task difficult for many a human.

I too believe your dad was there to bring over your beloved Sheba, and that they are both together. I would suggest you listen to your friend Paul, for he is right - you saw a piece of Heaven, one filled with love. And, yes I believe without question that Sheba waited for you both to be there for her transition.

Yes, a dog's spirit can remain behind to witness things after her death. Do I think it was a coincidence that tears seemed to come out of Sheba's eyes and that she then seemed to run out of her body? No, there are no coincidences.

You're right - that will be a love you shall never forget.

Warmly,
Suzane

This second question was sent to me by Gary:

Suzane . . .

This happened to me, and I'm in need of some insight.

My son committed suicide on 11/23/94 (hung himself ). He was 22. My daughter got married on 10/4/08 (my birthday). In March of '09, she announced she was pregnant, right around her 39th birthday. Her doctor said she was due 12/3/09.

Fast forward to 11/19/09. We met for lunch and she said to me, "How will I know when it's time?" I said, "No problem, your water will break." She said, "Dad, that's a pretty rare occurrence," so I said, "OK," and we moved onto another topic.

Monday, 11/23/09 was the 15th anniversary of my son's passing, so that morning I went to his grave to say prayers, etc. As I was driving out of the cemetery, my cell phone rang, and it was my daughter telling me HER WATER BROKE at 5AM, and her husband took her to the hospital! I said, "Don't worry, everything's going to be fine, and you're going to have that baby today." I told her I was leaving her brother's grave, and to have her husband call me with the news.

8PM in the evening, the phone rang and it was my daughter calling from the recovery room to tell me she had a girl at 7PM, which was right around the time my son committed suicide.

So my question is . . . Could my son have had anything to do with this happening, or was the birth of my grand-daughter on this particular day & time purely the will of GOD????

Can't write any more, too many tears in my eyes.

HANK YOU for your time . . .
Gary

Gary,

My prayers and heart go out to you. I realize that there are no words that I can say to adequately address the loss of your son. However, I will nonetheless say that, as you know, your son remains in your heart, and is there around you and your family. And with knowledge of this wonderful connection - validated by these marvelous synchronicities - I trust that the pain is easing.

I've spoken often about how significant numbers can be in validation process, and how our DPs use seeming "coincidences" to let us know that they are still around. I don't doubt for a minute and I feel you know as well, that your son was indeed present for the birth of his niece! I would add that he is also keeping a eye on her. One day she might even speak his name or say something out of the blue that without question indicates to you that your son has connected with her. Don't lead her in this regard. If it is to happen, let it come naturally.

God is involved in all births, and when there are synchronicities (a.k.a. "meaningful coincidences") like this, it is for a reason. They are God's way of remaining anonymous.

Blessings for you and your family,
Suzane

This final question was asked by Kathy:

I have a friend, Sandy, who is experiencing a number of health problems. I am worried that the doctors are missing something. Can you provide any insight on what the cause(s) could be, and any direction that could be taken?

Thank you,
Kathy

Kathy,
I am very sorry for your friend Sandy, but diagnosing illnesses and suggesting cures is honestly not my area. Consider getting a second medical opinion, and doing research on her condition on the internet. And of course, saying prayers. I would suggest also that you consider telling Sandy to keep her mind and heart open and ask for guidance on where she can find the most appropriate kind of help.

Warmly,
Suzane

On a Personal Note

Since February is the month of love, I couldn't resist sharing one of the most famous Valentine's Day love poems with you:

How Do I Love Thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being an ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints - I love thee with the Breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! - and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
