Caroline from Glasgow, Scotland, asked:
Hi Julie,
February 18th was the 7th anniversary of my husband’s death.
He took his own life and I was left with massive financial challenges and was widowed in a horrific way.
In addition, I lost both parents and five friends within the space of 6 years.
I have a deep faith but having to deal with all of this makes me feel overwhelmed.
It’s time to move on but I feel at such a loss right now so I prayed to God for guidance and asked for a sign. Your name came into my mind.
I’m trusting your good heart will reach mine.
Thank you, Julie.

Hi Caroline,
My goodness, you’ve certainly been through a lot in the last few years. I completely understand your wish to move on and create a new life for yourself.
With that in mind, here are a few thoughts and concepts that may help.
First, it’s important to remember we all choose, where, when, how and who if anyone is with us when we die, even when it’s horrendous, like in the case of your husband’s death.
Next, although it’s virtually impossible for us to make sense of a situation like that, it’s also important to remember, our spirit comes in with an expectation of what it wants to experience in this lifetime.
In a past life, it’s feasible your husband was the spouse of, child of, parent or friend of someone who committed suicide and, in this life, wanted to experience what it felt like to be the person who died in that manner. Likewise, the same goes for you. Perhaps you committed suicide in a past life and wanted to explore it from the perspective of the person left behind to pick up the pieces.
Furthermore, we create what we want from knowing what we don’t want. In other words, conflict, in whatever form, helps us clarify what we want in our lives.
We all have the ability to create whatever we desire by focusing on the end result. When we try to control how something is going to happen, we limit our experiences and often negate a better outcome in the process. When, however, we trust everything is unfolding perfectly, we’re given the information we need at the perfect time.
You obviously receive guidance from God (spirit) and know to follow it. Congratulations, that’s the hardest part of the manifestation process. That is, receiving messages and taking action.
Guidance will come to you as a thought in your head. When you ask for assistance from God, your angels, spirit guides, deceased loved ones, whomever, a response will come into your head within a second. If you think about it for more than a couple seconds, that’ll be your brain talking to you.
In addition, when you get a thought and fear arises, ask yourself if you took that action, would it kill you in the next two minutes. If so, don’t do it. If not, take the step. Then you’ll be given more guidance. Take it one step at a time and you’ll be led to where you want to go.
Please consider reading my book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next. I believe you’ll find it informative, inspiring and comforting.
Sending big hugs your way.
