Shari from Columbus, OH, asked:
Hi Julie,
I read your book Angelic Attendants and it is excellent!
I was by my mother’s side when she transitioned 21 years ago and it was actually a beautiful experience.
I sense her around me all the time and her spirit even showed up in a picture taken of me and my family four years after she passed away! I will treasure this picture forever.
For years, I’ve been wanting to reach out to other people to comfort them after their loved one has passed and let them know their spirit can still be present with them even when they are no longer in the physical world. Alas, I have no idea how to do this.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for taking time to read and answer my question.
Sincerely,
Shari
Hi Shari,
Thanks for your kind comments and for reading Angelic Attendants.
Love the story about your mom’s spirit showing up in your family photo several years after she passed. What a great example of your mother letting you know she’s around you.
Regarding your desire to help comfort and educate those who’ve lost a loved one, I have several suggestions:
– Volunteer with a hospice organization.
– Get involved in grief support groups at local churches, hospitals, senior centers, and online.
– Gift a book on the topic. Two favorites are my Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next and Death Is But A Dream by Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD.
– Send people a link to my interview with Dr. Chris Kerr. It’s enlightening, heartwarming, and validates how spirits surround end-of-life patients.
– Consider taking my Angelic Attendant Training and learn to telepathically communicate with the dying person and tell how close to passing they are by identifying the Twelve Phases of Transition®. The information you’ll receive can be enormously helpful and comforting to the family.
Hope you find these ideas thought-provoking.
