Hi Julie,
I have a question about something that has been plaguing me with guilt and shame for many years. This question may be controversial for some.
In your book, Angelic Attendants, you describe how the spirits of deceased loved ones show up when we are dying to help us transition into the spirit world. You state that you have seen spirits of unborn babies show up as well. My impression is that you are mostly talking about miscarried babies.
In my 20’s, I had an unplanned pregnancy and I made the difficult decision to abort. At that time, I didn’t feel that I was in a position to raise a child.
I am now a proud mother of two beautiful teenage boys, and when I think back, I wonder if I made the wrong decision.
Have you seen aborted babies show up during transition as well? Would that baby have made a contract on when it would die, or was my decision (self-will) overriding its contract?
Any insight that you have on this is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for having the courage to ask such a heart-felt question, one many women wonder about.
It has been my experience in working with countless families over the past couple of decades that indeed, the spirits of miscarried, stillborn, and aborted babies are present when their mother is dying.
And, most importantly, these babies’ spirits are around their mothers throughout their whole lives.
We all choose where, when and to whom we’re born and our spirits attach to our mother’s (and if applicable), our adopted mother’s energy field before we’re conceived.
Baby spirits look like small orbs, the kind you see in photographs. They remind me of the orb Glenda the Good Witch rode inside in the Wizard of Oz movie. These baby spirit orbs can be seen over their mother’s shoulder.
In addition, our spirits decide when, where, how, and who’s with us when we die. It’s my perception there isn’t a set “contract” about when we decide to leave, rather, when we’re finished exploring this lifetime, we simply choose to transition back into non-physical. This pertains to aborted babies as well as anyone who has ever lived.
If you wish, you can communicate with your aborted baby anytime. Just say something to it either aloud or silently. Its response will immediately come into your head. It’ll feel like one of your thoughts. If you think about the answer for more than a couple of seconds, that will be your brain answering you.
Hope this information provides some comfort to you.
This is a very compassionate and loving response about a very emotionally charged subject. I believe God/Spirit/Universe/That which connects us All/ is only love and compassion so this post resonates with me. I have friends and clients who went through this experience. I look forward to sharing. Thank you!
What about the father’s of the miscarried or aborted babies? Does the unborn spirit come to visit them , also?
There can be many reasons for choosing to abort a pregnancy. Can there be a spiritual reason that we aren’t aware of, an unconscious reason of incorrect timing or the wrong partner, that can reveal in ending a pregnancy? I have always felt that was true in my own decision to terminate although, it has troubled me for years.
Yes, the aborted baby spirits, (as well as miscarried babies, etc.) can also be around the birth father. I often see them when the father is dying or after they’re deceased. As for the timing, everything always unfolds perfectly in our lives and the lives of every spirit whether they’re born or not. It’s always what that spirit wants to experience. For example, the baby you aborted wanted to experience being aborted and your spirit wanted to experience it from your perspective. Remember, there aren’t good and bad experiences in the spirit world. To spirits, it’s all interesting. We humans judge things as good and bad. It’s part of our human experience.
We have several exit plans. There is no set contract in when we leave.
No one leaves until they are ready.
I perceive we don’t have a pre-conceived exit plan or plans. We just decide to transition when we’re done exploring the things we wanted to explore.
This resonates with countless stories about families holding vigils with a dying loved one and the person dying in the 5 minutes they were left alone while someone left them to get a cup of coffee.
This is most comforting for a number of women in my baby boomer generation who had abortions.
Your perception on “contract” is a breath of fresh air. I have been exposed to some who perceived a life plan with “check out time”
predetermined. I like your perspective which affirms free will when we can say ” OK God it has been quite an adventure. I think we ran quite a race, but let’s call this the finish line”.
