For over twenty five years, I've been 14 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: on a journey to prove the existence of life after death. 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: On each episodisode, we'll discuss the reasons we now know 16 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: that our loved ones have survived physical death, and so 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 2: will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. I love 18 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: Shades of the Afterlife so much that I woke up 19 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: this morning dreaming that I was recording an episode the 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: episode was about movies about the afterlife. It did take 21 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 2: me a little while to realize it was just a dream. 22 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 2: And I've already done an episode on that, so if 23 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: you haven't heard it, go way back episode forty Hollywood 24 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: and The Hereafter. It's some of my favorite movies about 25 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 2: the afterlife, plus celebrities who believe in the afterlife. Very interesting. 26 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: Also on episode one hundred and fifty, I spoke with 27 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 2: film producer Steven Simon from the movie What Dreams May Come. 28 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 2: Remember that with Robin Williams, he not only has a 29 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 2: belief in the afterlife and a Noah, but he does 30 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: automatic writing with his wife, who resides in the Hereafter. 31 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: Also back on episode one hundred and fifty seven, I 32 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: spoke with movie director Stephen Gray and producer Jens Jacob 33 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 2: on their new movie After Death, which was all about 34 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: near death experiences. Now some of my favorite movies. Number 35 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 2: one on the list is a comedy defending your life. 36 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: Of course, I love What Dreams May Come. There is 37 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: made in Heaven, Heaven can Wait. Matt Damon had a 38 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: film called Hereafter. So that's just to name a few. 39 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: And now my subconscious mind can easily rest that we 40 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: spoke about the movies today. Don't forget that. You can 41 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: get a list of all Shades of the Afterlife episodes 42 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: by category, plus a free copy of my book We 43 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 2: Don't Die, a skeptics Discovery of Life after Death, and 44 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: some other pretty cool bonuses if you join my email list, 45 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: it's called the Insiders Club to give it a fancy name, 46 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: but you can find it at the bottom of the 47 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: page at We Don'tdie dot com. I probably dreamt about 48 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 2: Shades of the Afterlife because I spent the entire day 49 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: yesterday reading and answering your emails, and so many of 50 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: you shared your signs from your loved ones, so I 51 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: want to read them today. And if you have signs 52 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: or a story you'd like to share with me or 53 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: just share with me, you can email me at Sandra 54 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 2: Champlain at gmail dot com. Before I begin reading some 55 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: of these emails, I want to share with you some 56 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: words that really touched me to the core. On our 57 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: Sunday gathering number two hundred and fifty two, and of 58 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 2: course that's our free non denominational online service on Zoom. 59 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: Our guest medium who gave the medium demonstration and also 60 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: did our address is a Scottish medium named Stephen trolland 61 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: his mom passed just a few weeks before. He shared 62 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 2: some incredible words that brought me to tears, as if 63 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 2: his mom was talking to him from the afterlife. Stephen 64 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 2: says this about his mom. No matter what troubles she 65 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 2: went through, she would always say I'm fine, I'm fine. 66 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: Even after calling the ambulance, and he was in the 67 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: ambulance with her. She laid there with her eyes closed, 68 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: holding his hands. She opened her eyes and said to him, Stephen, 69 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 2: I'm fine. So these words that he wrote are titled 70 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: I'm fine. So if you want to make yourself comfortable 71 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: and think of your loved one as if they're telling 72 00:04:50,680 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: you these words. When I slipped away from physical sight, 73 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: remember that my love still lives. Don't learn to live 74 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: without me. Just learn to live with my love in 75 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 2: a different way. And if you need me, listen to 76 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: your heart even now in this very moment, as truly, 77 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 2: my living presence is within these very words. And I'm 78 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 2: not just memories, you know. Just ask ask me to 79 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 2: be within your precious moments because I'm there, I'm here, 80 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: and I'm fine. Do me a favor. Love yourself like 81 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: I do here. I can still care for you. Just 82 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: speak to me whenever you wish for me to sit 83 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: with you, or even just a man, what would I 84 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: say or do. Don't learn to live without me. Just 85 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: treasure me in your own unique way, our way, like 86 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 2: you have always done. Because I'm there, I'm here, and 87 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:25,119 Speaker 2: I'm fine. Just like the stars are wrapped around the earth, 88 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,840 Speaker 2: I do the same with you now, in this very moment, 89 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 2: with my living love still blossoming, wrapped around and within 90 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 2: your world. And just like the stars that will always 91 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 2: and forever shine, I will still shine with you. I'm there, 92 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: I'm here, and I'm fine. You will still miss me, 93 00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 2: but your hardships will soften through time. You see all 94 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 2: this is just the nature of life, And just like 95 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 2: it is in nature for the stars to softly fade 96 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: into the morning sun. Although you can't see me, I'm there, 97 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: I'm here, and I'm fine, and I am with you 98 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 2: learning to live with me and my love in this 99 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 2: new way. You are not alone. Remember that nature it 100 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: cannot lie. So think of us here now as part 101 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: of nature of life. We are all part of life, 102 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: weaved within its beauty. I am everywhere anywhere you wish 103 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: me to be. But most of all, I'm there, I'm here, 104 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 2: and I'm fine. Distance, it does not matter, and remembering 105 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 2: that nature cannot lie, and our love being a big 106 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: part of it. This for me is the binding strength 107 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 2: that continues to be the thread of life that still 108 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: weaves our soul, our heart, and mind together and through 109 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: this thread, and in time your thoughts of separation and 110 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:40,839 Speaker 2: hardships will soften. But I'll help you. And there are 111 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: many times that you may not know it, but I 112 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 2: will gently and softly kiss your mind and just hug 113 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: you with my presence to help ease you where no 114 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: words are needed, like I have always done, but with 115 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 2: thought being a natural and living expression of nature, I 116 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 2: can still softly weave my love within yours so you 117 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: can still know that I'm there, I'm here, and I'm fine. 118 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 2: The beauty of life is within everyone, and it is 119 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 2: still within me too, and the expression of life is everywhere. 120 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 2: The only difference now is our perception and how you 121 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 2: look for me and find me in your moments. Now, 122 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: our moments, I am within every breath and every heartbeat. 123 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: I'm there, I'm here, And remember remember to love yourself 124 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 2: the way I do. And then I'll be fine, Stephen 125 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: trolland went on to say that it's important to keep 126 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 2: those we love present in our life. That what we 127 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 2: give our attention to in life, we give our power, 128 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: and if we give our power, we give our presence. 129 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: And by doing that, we're giving ourselves healing, and we 130 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: bring new perspectives into our life. And we're giving our 131 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: attention to those we love in the spirit world because 132 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: that is the meeting place for us, he said, We've 133 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 2: each only got a short space of time, and remember 134 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: everything you see. Every heart could say a thousand words, 135 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: and there's lifetimes of thoughts and emotions, and beauty is 136 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 2: in each and every one of us. We come together 137 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: with those we love in this life and in the 138 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: spirit world, and we can bring out the best in 139 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: each other. I think that beauty will see that in you. 140 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 2: Our souls want us to live a loving and fulfilled life. 141 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,199 Speaker 2: What do you want to give your attention to? He says. 142 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: Out of every demonstration he gives and the thousands of 143 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 2: readings he's done over the years, each and everyone has 144 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 2: the same message that our loved ones want us to 145 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: see the best in ourselves. If you're fine, then they 146 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 2: are that we each have a job to do now. 147 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: Our job is planting the seeds of richness of those 148 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 2: you love in the spirit world, in the hearts and 149 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: minds of others, to give to allow new seeds new life, 150 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: time to blossom, time to nurture, and nurture that within 151 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 2: our children, our grandchildren, and our friends, that we each 152 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: have an unlimited amount of possibilities within us.

I've never been 160 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: fond of expressions like the gift of grief, but I 161 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: can tell you, fifteen years after the death of my dad, 162 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 2: had I never gone through such intense grief, I would 163 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: have never done the research that I have done, and 164 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 2: I would never be your host of Shades of the 165 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: Afterlife today.

She says, Hi, Sandra, 173 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: I appreciate you sending your book, but I already have 174 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: it on audible and enjoy it very much. As a 175 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: licensed clinical social worker who worked in nursing homes, then 176 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: a private psychiatric hospital after retirement from there, in private 177 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: practice until the age of seventy nine, with a third 178 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 2: of my practice doing home visits with ill and dying patients, 179 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 2: as well as at a convent with the religious, it 180 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 2: has been my privilege to witness a fair amount of 181 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 2: deathbed visions, the most common one being who are all 182 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 2: these people in my room? But my favorite story concerns 183 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 2: my ex husband, who was one among many who didn't 184 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: believe in anything after death. My son constantly said to him, Dad, 185 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 2: send me a purple elephant. When you get to the 186 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: other side, I would say to my son, that's impossible. 187 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 2: Give him something easier to find, But my son insisted 188 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: that his father send a purple elephant. My husband died 189 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving morning in twenty nineteen, before the pandemic, at 190 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: the age of ninety, after having a stroke. Not long afterwards, 191 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: my daughter was invited out to lunch by a friend 192 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 2: who had no knowledge of the above. She was invited 193 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 2: to a new restaurant in an out of the way 194 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 2: place in Long Eye Island. Guess what now. Connie ended 195 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: her email there. I waited. All of a sudden, I 196 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: got a second email with a giant picture on It 197 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: is the front of the restaurant with a huge statue 198 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 2: of a purple elephant. Thank you for sending that, Connie 199 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: Kay wrote me, and she said, Dear Sandra, I was 200 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: listening to your Shades of the Afterlife episode one ninety six. 201 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 2: I'm a little behind. On the podcast. You mentioned a 202 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: memory from your ex boyfriend who had transitioned coming in 203 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: on your phone. I had to email you immediately about 204 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 2: a story of such a thing happening to my sisters 205 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: and I on the day we were giving my dad 206 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 2: an eightieth birthday party. My stepmom had transitioned tragically six 207 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 2: years prior to his eightieth birthday. He had really suffered 208 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: a lot of grief and guilt through the years after 209 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 2: her death. We wanted to give my dad a special 210 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: eightieth birthday party. He seemed really sad because he said 211 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: he always thought if he made it to eighty, she 212 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 2: would still be with him. My stepmom was quite a 213 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 2: bit younger than my dad, and he never thought that 214 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 2: she would go before him. We secretly invited several close 215 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: friends that he had not seen in years to his party. 216 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 2: On the morning of the party, I had gotten up 217 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 2: and was in the bathroom getting ready for the morning. 218 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: I was really thinking about my stepmom and how I 219 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: wished she could be there, that it would have made 220 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 2: his party perfect. Then the light started flickering in the bathroom. 221 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 2: I thought, that's strange. I then walked out to pick 222 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: up my phone to take it with me outside to 223 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 2: have morning coffee with my sisters. One sister and I 224 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 2: lived together, but the other one lives with my dad 225 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: in a different town, which was where the party was at, 226 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 2: so we don't get together very often. As I picked 227 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: up my phone. It said, you have memories with Nancy 228 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 2: s that's my stepmom. I opened the memory and what 229 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: was there is on the attachment I sent you. It 230 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 2: was from eight years ago. Not one time in those 231 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 2: eight years have I ever received that memory until that day, 232 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: the exact same day as my dad's eightieth birthday party, 233 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 2: when all of us sisters were together. She was definitely 234 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: there with us and him. And the message that was 235 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 2: on the attachment said, a message for my daughter in 236 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 2: my eyes, there is no one that can equal your beauty, 237 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 2: no one that can describe how much you mean to me, 238 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: nothing that could lessen my love for you as you 239 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: have it now and for all of eternity, no matter 240 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 2: how old you might be, you will always be my 241 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 2: little girl to me. And that was from Nancy. Two K, 242 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for sharing that K. This next 243 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 2: email came from Catherine. She writes, Hello, missus Sandra. My 244 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 2: name is Catherine and I was a hospice nurse for 245 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 2: twenty four years. I lost my daughter Lexi in a 246 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 2: car accident, and I've been listening to your show, which 247 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 2: I absolutely love. I wanted to share some of the 248 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 2: incredible signs I've received since her passing, as they have 249 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: brought me both comfort and awe. The first sign came 250 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: the day Lexi passed away. She had her own apartment 251 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: in a two flat home that I own. The hoodvent 252 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: in her apartment fell halfway off on the very day 253 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 2: she died, as if it was almost a message her. 254 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: After the funeral, we played the song if I Die Young. 255 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 2: On the way to the cemetery, we passed a group 256 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 2: of motorcycles and one of the bikers was playing that 257 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: very song on his harley. If you know that song, 258 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 2: you'll understand how rare it is to hear such a 259 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 2: feminine song played on a harley. Everyone heard it, from 260 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 2: the funeral director to the pastor, and we were all 261 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 2: in disbelief. Another sign came when I was driving down 262 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: the highway. My daughter had been an assistant manager at 263 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: Dollar General, and her funeral photo was taken in a 264 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: field of sunflowers, her favorite flower. Suddenly, a Dollar General 265 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 2: truck appeared in front of me, displayed a symbol of 266 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: a mother and a daughter holding hands surrounded by sunflowers. 267 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: It was like Lexi was reminding me that she was 268 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 2: still with me. There was a time I visited at 269 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: Alexi's sister's house and asked if she had any cream 270 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 2: for my coffee. She mentioned she only had milk, which 271 00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 2: was probably expired. The expiration date it was Lexi's birthday. 272 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 2: One of the most emotional signs was on Lexi's crash report. 273 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 2: Instead of listing her actual birthday, the report mistakenly displayed 274 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 2: my other daughter's birthday. A powerful sign involved my mother 275 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 2: when she was being evaluated for a possible als diagnosis. 276 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 2: She went home, opened her computer, and the first thing 277 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: that appeared was the Bible verse Lexi had tattooed on 278 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,399 Speaker 2: her body. It was Matthew six thirty four, Do not 279 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself. 280 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 2: That verse has become a source of peace for our family. 281 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: Another significant moment happened when I was driving with my 282 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 2: son and thinking about Lexi. Out of nowhere, a dump 283 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 2: truck from the same company involved in her car accident 284 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,719 Speaker 2: pulled out in front of us, as if to remind 285 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 2: us that she was close. Shortly after Lexi passed, I 286 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 2: helped a friend pass out Halloween candy. Her elderly neighbor 287 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 2: who had dementia, was seeing people in her home since 288 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: I was a nurse, she asked me to check on her. 289 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: The woman described seeing a young girl who matched Lexi's 290 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: age and appearance. As we talked, she shared that she 291 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 2: had lost her son in a car accident the same 292 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 2: way I lost Lexi and at a similar age. When 293 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 2: she told me the name of the cemetery where he 294 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: was buried, it turned out to be the same cemetery 295 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 2: as Lexi. I felt drawn to find his plot even 296 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 2: among the thousands there, and incredibly, the fourth one I 297 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 2: approached was his located kitty corner from Lexi's resting place. 298 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 2: Most recently, I was having a rough day thinking about 299 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 2: Lexi and decided I was going to go to the 300 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 2: thrift shop. Something made me continue to go there, even 301 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: though I was kinda hesitant on going in and thought 302 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: about turning around. When I walked in and on an 303 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 2: end cap there was a stocking with L E XI, 304 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 2: which is Lexi's name. It was even crooked, which was 305 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 2: the same way Lexi had her name on her name tag. 306 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 2: I ended up buying the stocking and hanging it up 307 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 2: this Christmas. I could go on with so many other 308 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 2: powerful signs, but these are a few that have felt 309 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: deeply significant to me. I believe in the afterlife because 310 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 2: of experiences like these, as well as the countless patience 311 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: I cared for during my years in hospice, who described 312 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 2: being visited by deceased loved ones before they passed. Catherine 313 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 2: gave me her phone number and said she would love 314 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 2: to share more stories. I reached out to Catherine to 315 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 2: see if we may do an interview with her and 316 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: hear her voice and hear more about Lexi and some 317 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: of the stories of people that passed in hospice. Thank 318 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,239 Speaker 2: you so much, Catherine for sending me this. We got 319 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: another email from another Catherine. She says, Hi, Sandra, I 320 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,199 Speaker 2: told you about a telephone call I received from my 321 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 2: deceased brother. So here it is. Although I had three 322 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 2: older brothers, all of whom are in spirit, one I 323 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 2: was particularly close to pat. Every Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day, 324 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 2: we would call each other from wherever we were in 325 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 2: the world France, Washington, Minnesota, Ireland, etc. It didn't matter. 326 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 2: It would typically go like this. He and his family 327 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 2: would open the presence we had sent them, and then 328 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: they would call to thank us. Several hours later because 329 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 2: of the different time zones, after we opened our gifts 330 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 2: from them. We would call his family back and thank 331 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 2: them for our gifts. After a relatively short but intense 332 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: six month or deal with esophagus cancer in two thousand 333 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 2: and one, he passed in June of that year. Fast 334 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 2: forward to Christmas Eve that year. I had been doing 335 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 2: last minute Christmas errands, returning home about six pm to 336 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 2: notice the red light blinking on the answering machine. It 337 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: would have been two hours later in Minneapolis. At that 338 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 2: time I listened to the message. I heard nothing but static, 339 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 2: but then within the static my brother Pat's voice saying 340 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. And then I heard a nickname that only 341 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 2: he and I knew. I'm absolutely certain of what I heard. 342 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: I listened to it probably fifty times. After a bit, 343 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 2: my son came home and I told him listen to 344 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: this message, and I watched his face turn white. He said, 345 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 2: it sounds like Uncle Pat wishing you merry Christmas. Not 346 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: being one to enjoy after death communications, he high tailed 347 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 2: it out of there. Then in sequence, my husband and 348 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 2: daughter each came home and listened to it. No one 349 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 2: has any doubts that it was the voice of my brother. 350 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 2: To this day, it was the greatest Christmas Present ever. Friends, 351 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 2: I love your stories. Please keep sending them to me. 352 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 2: We're going to head to the break and when we 353 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: come back, we'll hear some more stories. You're listening to 354 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 2: Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to 355 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 2: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of 356 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 2: the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain, and right now we're featuring 357 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: emails that I've received from your fellow listeners. This one's 358 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 2: from Dana. She's at I Sandra. I know that you 359 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: occasionally produce episodes of the podcast that are devoted to 360 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 2: signs from our loved ones in the spirit world, so 361 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 2: I thought i'd share one of many that you might enjoy. 362 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 2: If you ever decide to do another signs episode, feel 363 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 2: free to use it or not. It certainly wouldn't hurt 364 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 2: my feelings if you don't. 365 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 1: Well. 366 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 2: Dana here. It is one of the many times that 367 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 2: I was driving across the vast desert that makes up 368 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: much of the drive between my home in Austin, Texas 369 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 2: and my mother's home in San Diego, California, I was 370 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 2: listening to one of your podcast episodes that you had 371 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: dedicated to signs sent by our loved ones. I had 372 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: been extremely close to my maternal grandmother when I was 373 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: a child, and when she passed in two thousand and seven, 374 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 2: it broke my heart. Of course, the years passed and 375 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 2: the hurt healed, but I talked to her often, even 376 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 2: though I never asked for or expected a sign from her. 377 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 2: When You're our episode had concluded, I decided to ask 378 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:08,199 Speaker 2: her for a sign. I asked out loud, as you 379 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 2: had suggested I do. I asked her to send me 380 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 2: a pink feather. You said, to be specific, Sandra, And 381 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: when I was satisfied that I had made myself clear 382 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 2: and that she must have heard me, I turned the 383 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 2: radio back on and waited for my sign, which I 384 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 2: expected to come in about two weeks. A half an 385 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 2: hour later, I pulled off the highway to stop into 386 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,359 Speaker 2: a goodwill thrift store. I am a vintage clothing in 387 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 2: housewares dealer by trade, and often will stop at thrift 388 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,960 Speaker 2: shops while I am traveling to see if I can 389 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: find any treasures. I went in, found a cartful of stuff, 390 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: and walked the cart out to the parking lot to 391 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 2: my car to empty my newly purchased loot. Everything was 392 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 2: perfectly normal. I turned around to return the cart to 393 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 2: the interior of the store when a small white feather 394 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 2: rolled across my path. I looked at it and thought, oh, 395 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 2: a feather, But then I was disappointed to see that 396 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 2: it was not pink but white, or was it? As 397 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 2: I looked closer, I noticed that the small feather was 398 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:27,959 Speaker 2: actually a very pale pink color. I thought that maybe 399 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 2: it was just the light and that I was trying 400 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 2: to force a puzzle piece into the wrong spot, so 401 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 2: I just rolled past it, and then I stopped dead 402 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: in my tracks when another definitely pink feather rolled across 403 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 2: my feet. I felt a shock of electricity surged through 404 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: my body and all my hair stood up on end. 405 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 2: As I bent down to pick up the second feather, 406 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 2: I suddenly saw pink feathers in three different shades flying 407 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 2: all around my feet, where there had been absolutely none 408 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 2: anywhere less than three minutes before. I looked around to 409 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 2: see if anyone was wearing a pink feather jacket or 410 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 2: a boa or something, but there was no one anywhere 411 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: near me. It was absolutely astonishing. There was absolutely no 412 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 2: doubt in my mind that she was making herself known, 413 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: and it would have been just like her too, not 414 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: to just send one pink feather, but to do it 415 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: up in a big way and send me as many 416 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 2: as she could muster. She never did anything halfway. Since then, 417 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 2: I have received many more signs from her and from 418 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 2: other loved ones as well. Since I learned from you 419 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 2: that all I have to do is ask and to 420 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 2: pay attention, I have had some incredible gifts from my 421 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 2: loved ones in spirit. Thank you again for everything you do. 422 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 2: I know I've said it before, but you are really 423 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 2: changing lives friend, Dana. Thanks so much, Dana, sending you 424 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 2: so much love and keep the stories coming. Our next 425 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: story comes from Marylyn and in it she refers to 426 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 2: Phil Dike's Phil and his wife Carrie McLeod are the 427 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: medium tutors that I trust the most to teach medium classes. 428 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: So here are her words. I hadn't been meditating that 429 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 2: much lately, but yesterday did an hour meditation that Phil 430 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: Dikes had on YouTube. At the end of the meditation, 431 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 2: I silently asked my daughter Amy to please visit me 432 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: in my dreams that night. I hadn't been receiving many 433 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 2: signs lately, Sandra, I had the most amazing visitation dream 434 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 2: from Amy that I've ever had in the last three years. 435 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 2: In the dream, we discovered another room in our house. 436 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 2: It was her old room, but bigger, with a queen 437 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 2: size bed in it, but we hadn't opened the door 438 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 2: since she passed. I opened the door and the room 439 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,719 Speaker 2: had so much dust in it, but it was pretty, 440 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 2: so I thought I would clean it up and we 441 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,200 Speaker 2: would store all of her art in it. It was 442 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 2: a perfect place for that. Dad came in the room 443 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 2: with me, and I said, let's leave the bed for 444 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 2: guests to sleep in. And I began to take the 445 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 2: blanket off, and just then I felt a live figure 446 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 2: with me. It was Amy, a little younger. I felt 447 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 2: her whole outline as she was moving, and I could 448 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 2: see her brownish hair. I said, Amy, where have you been? 449 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 2: She said, Mom, I've been night gazing. I kept touching 450 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 2: her body, proving she was still alive, and I said 451 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 2: to her Dad record her words. I hugged her and 452 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: hugged her, and just then I woke up again. I 453 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 2: was meditating the night before for an hour, and I 454 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 2: asked her to come in my dreams for a visitation. 455 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 2: It's the asking for signs and visits. That's what I've 456 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 2: finally learned. We have to do, not beg but simply ask, 457 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: and you never know when a sign or a visit 458 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 2: will come. I had woken up and gone back to 459 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 2: sleep and had this visitation somewhere between seven and eight 460 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 2: thirty in the morning. I think that is an easy 461 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 2: time for our loved ones to visit us because we 462 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 2: fall back into a deeper consciousness, a much higher vibration. 463 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 2: I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much, Sandra, Carrie 464 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,239 Speaker 2: and Phil. Thank you so much, Marilyn for sharing that. 465 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 2: I have recorded several different episodes about dreams, and I 466 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 2: clearly remember doctor Janet Pete Alatto. That was episode one 467 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: point eighty four. Yes, the importance of talking to our 468 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 2: loved ones and asking for signs and meditating, but she said, 469 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 2: when you wake up in the morning, you're in that 470 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 2: zone somewhere between awake and a slow and we can 471 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 2: jumpstart our own dreams with our loved ones and picture 472 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: them with us and let it unfold, and it's an 473 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 2: easy time for them to join us in that day 474 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 2: dreamy state. And the other episode one fifty six about 475 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 2: lucid dreaming this sounds very much like what Marilyn was experiencing. 476 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 2: I know for myself when I get that second sleep, 477 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 2: you know, when the bladder wakes you up somewhere in 478 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: the middle of the night and you get a couple 479 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 2: more hours of sleep, that's when these clear dreams can 480 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 2: tend to happen. So if we are in communication with 481 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 2: our loved one asking for signs, having that intention, I 482 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 2: hope if you haven't heard those episodes, you go back 483 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 2: and check them out, because there's nothing more comforting than 484 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 2: feeling a hug from your loved one, hearing their voice, 485 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 2: waking up and knowing it was the real thing. Let's 486 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,959 Speaker 2: continue with the words I got from Paul. He said, Hi, 487 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 2: and last week I had a session with the medium 488 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,400 Speaker 2: who was on your show, and I was completely blown away. 489 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 2: I used the yes, no, and not sure technique, and 490 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 2: she was accurate about ninety five percent of the time. 491 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,359 Speaker 2: It felt surreal. I couldn't believe all the information she 492 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 2: was saying, especially when she delivered the exact message I 493 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:28,920 Speaker 2: had asked my dad to convey as evidence of the afterlife. 494 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 2: You see, when my dad passed away, I visited him 495 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 2: in the funeral home three times from his passing, no 496 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,760 Speaker 2: one removed his glasses, and he wore them throughout during 497 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 2: the rest. On my final visit before the funeral service, 498 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: I decided to take off his glasses and I took 499 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,319 Speaker 2: them home and put them in a pouch for a keepsake. 500 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 2: No one was with me when I did this, and 501 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 2: only my mom knew about it. Before my session ended 502 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 2: with the medium, I had asked my dad to mention 503 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,720 Speaker 2: what I did as a sign, knowing that no one 504 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 2: else would know. Amazingly, she brought up the topic of 505 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 2: me taking the glasses off his face. She even said 506 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: that my dad joked, why did you do that, Paul, 507 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 2: I couldn't see afterwards, a remark that perfectly matched my 508 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 2: dad's sense of humor. You can only imagine how astonished 509 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 2: I was. This was such an incredible experience, and I 510 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 2: want to thank you again for your show and providing 511 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 2: a platform to explore and open our minds to these possibilities. 512 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,720 Speaker 2: You are truly blessed for the work you do. Kind regards, Paul, Paul, 513 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 2: thank you so much. I think for each and every 514 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 2: one of us, it's easy to share when we find 515 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,919 Speaker 2: something that makes a difference. For ourselves something or someone. 516 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 2: Now Paul brings up mediums and on my first podcast, 517 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 2: which you can still find today, we Don't Die, a 518 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 2: radio that is on YouTube. Over the course of almost 519 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 2: five hundred episodes, I've interviewed in full length a lot 520 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 2: of people, many of whom were mediums. I have to 521 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: be honest, in the first many years that podcast is 522 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,959 Speaker 2: now eleven years old, but in the first many many 523 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: years I just interviewed anybody who had a story about 524 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,640 Speaker 2: the afterlife. It wasn't till the last two or three 525 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,800 Speaker 2: years I would say that the mediums that I've had 526 00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 2: on I have asked them point blank, do you offer 527 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 2: a money back guarantee. There's something called a ten minute guarantee. 528 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,239 Speaker 2: You want to be sure if you go to a 529 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 2: medium that they have that guarantee. For whatever the reason. 530 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 2: Maybe the signal's not right between your loved one and them. 531 00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 2: But if you aren't getting good evidence in the first 532 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 2: ten minutes, the medium reading to an end and you 533 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 2: don't pay. I may read more stories from fellow listeners 534 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,040 Speaker 2: when we get back, but I have an instinct to 535 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 2: share some words from parents who have children residing in 536 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:17,080 Speaker 2: the unseen world. You see many of the emails that 537 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,960 Speaker 2: I got were not stories of signs, but there were 538 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 2: stories of heartbreak. The great author Richard Bach said, don't 539 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,760 Speaker 2: be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before meeting again, 540 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: and meeting again after moments or lifetimes is certain for 541 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,840 Speaker 2: those who are friends. We will see them all again, 542 00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 2: and I'll see you again just after the break. We'll 543 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,719 Speaker 2: be right back. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife 544 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. 545 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 2: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain, 546 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 2: and you've been hearing some lovely emails that people have 547 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 2: sent me. I wish I could say all the emails 548 00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:23,759 Speaker 2: I received were joyful messages of signs and reunions. But 549 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,120 Speaker 2: to be honest, ninety percent of the emails I receive 550 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: are letters of grief. It is a tough journey, as 551 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 2: you know. If you do not yet have a copy 552 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 2: of my book again, please go to Weedn'tdie dot com. 553 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 2: The bottom of the page, you can enter your name 554 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 2: and your email address says you get the first few 555 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 2: chapters of my book. It's the entire book. Chapter ten 556 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,799 Speaker 2: is one of the most important chapters about grief and 557 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,799 Speaker 2: moving through the process. Things we can do, things that 558 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 2: are out of our control. There are many emails I 559 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 2: receive from parents. No matter what kind of grief you experience, 560 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 2: it's all brutal. But for parents listening, please go to 561 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 2: Helpingparents Heal dot org if you're not a parent, they 562 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 2: have great resources that you can find on their YouTube 563 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 2: channel through their website. In our last segment together, I 564 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,280 Speaker 2: want to read some words from these parents. They're called 565 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:27,000 Speaker 2: Shining Light Parents. I love that there's a page on 566 00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 2: their website with some of the book titles written by 567 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:36,760 Speaker 2: these parents. Shining Light Parents Speak, Helping Fathers, Heal. Still 568 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 2: right here, gathering at the doorway. Mom, I'm not gone. 569 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,920 Speaker 2: We're not done yet. Pop. My lessons from the other side, 570 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 2: Resilient grieving, Hello from Heaven, Grief to Growth, Messages of hope, 571 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,640 Speaker 2: My search for Christopher on the other side, Conversations with 572 00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: Clo we Never left You to Heaven and back, and 573 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:09,880 Speaker 2: dozens and dozens and dozens more. Not too long ago, 574 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 2: on episode two one three, I got to speak with 575 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 2: doctor Mark Pittstick, who put together a book along with 576 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 2: four Shining Light parents including one hundred and thirty stories 577 00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:28,120 Speaker 2: from other Shining Light parents. Within Helping Parents Heal, we 578 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,279 Speaker 2: talk about the great book that they put together, and 579 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 2: I thought today, in our last segment together, I'll read 580 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,800 Speaker 2: some of the stories from some of the parents again. 581 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,480 Speaker 2: This is from the book Shining Light Parents Speak. The 582 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 2: title of chapter two is Sensing your Child's Presence. Our 583 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,239 Speaker 2: children have graduated from Earth School, but they are not 584 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 2: far away. They are in a different realm, dimension, or 585 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 2: vibrational reality that many of us cannot detect with our 586 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,719 Speaker 2: five senses. However, a sixth sense and other ways to 587 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 2: perceive them can come into play. This chapter answers the 588 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 2: question have you learned to optimally sense your children's living presence. 589 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:18,760 Speaker 2: Members of Helping Parents Heal have shared how their kids 590 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: communicate through a vast array of signs. A bird, a 591 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 2: license plate, a song on the radio, a touch, or 592 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 2: even a whisper. These connections are easily dismissed by people 593 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 2: who have no need for them and consider them to 594 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 2: be mere coincidences. But those of us who have had 595 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:43,919 Speaker 2: these pleasantly surprising signs and synchronicities have no doubt they 596 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:49,360 Speaker 2: are from our children. There is an unexplainable resonance that 597 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 2: accompanies these validations when you know, you know. The following 598 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 2: accounts of one hundred and thirty affiliate leaders in Caring 599 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 2: Listeners interviews are just a small sampling of those told 600 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 2: by many thousands of members of Helping Parents Heal. This 601 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 2: book offers an excellent representation of the continued connections we 602 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 2: have with our children. They are always with us because 603 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:22,760 Speaker 2: love never dies and relationships continue. Siama's mom, Marie said, 604 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 2: she said to me once, I'm going to send you 605 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 2: a rainbow. There were no clouds in the sky. But 606 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,760 Speaker 2: by the time I got home, maybe three minutes later, 607 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 2: my husband said, there's a rainbow outside, but it's not raining. 608 00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:41,400 Speaker 2: Chris R's Sun Shawn communicated with his parents right away 609 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 2: after his transition from Earth at the age twenty three. 610 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 2: On the night we decided to discontinue Shawn's life support, 611 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 2: we left the hospital and sat out on the patio 612 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,640 Speaker 2: as the sun went down illuminated over the hospital. The 613 00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 2: sky looked just like a giant pair of angel wings. 614 00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,000 Speaker 2: We always called him our angel boy, and his middle 615 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 2: name was Gabriel. Deb N knows that it helps to 616 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 2: keep in communication with her son, Dean, who changed worlds 617 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 2: at twenty four. I love getting signs from Dean and 618 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,279 Speaker 2: I always thank him. His ability to provide them is 619 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 2: just incredible. On Thanksgiving Day, I was out in my 620 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 2: mother in law's backyard overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and this 621 00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 2: hummingbird was flying around as the sun was setting. I said, Dean, 622 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,759 Speaker 2: it would be really nice if you could help me 623 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 2: out here and let me take a picture of that 624 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,720 Speaker 2: hummingbird in front of the sunset. The little hummingbird landed 625 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 2: on top of a bush, lined up with the sun 626 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 2: and sat there for ten minutes as the sun set. 627 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,359 Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing that he's really responsive to. 628 00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 2: I just believe it. It's a choice, but it takes 629 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,359 Speaker 2: time to get there. I know he's here, I recognize it. 630 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 2: Ask him for signs, and he just shows up with them. 631 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 2: Barb says her son, Jordan is amazing. I sit outside 632 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,440 Speaker 2: and we can ask for a falling star and he 633 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 2: will provide it. My husband and I were camping and 634 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 2: it was super cold. We wanted to go inside, so 635 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 2: he gave him a countdown. By the time we got 636 00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 2: to four, there went a shooting star right where we 637 00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 2: said it was going to be. Jordan passed at the 638 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 2: age of twenty five. One of the first signs was 639 00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 2: a tiny frog, says Bibet, mom to Daniel, who transitioned 640 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 2: from Earth at age twenty five. Daniel loved frogs, and 641 00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 2: since his passing we've received hundreds of frogs. One time, 642 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,799 Speaker 2: I was desperate for a sign and asked him for 643 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,839 Speaker 2: a frog, even though it wasn't the right season for them. 644 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,400 Speaker 2: I got up and opened a cabinet in the house, 645 00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,439 Speaker 2: and a frog jumped out and landed on my leg. 646 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 2: It's been to us to magical. Marilyn's son Kevin made 647 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 2: his transition from Earth after a three and a half 648 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,879 Speaker 2: year illness. I wish I could say I hear him 649 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 2: and see him as clearly as some other people do. 650 00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,960 Speaker 2: But I do talk to him all the time. I 651 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 2: get signs, and I feel the love he has for 652 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 2: his family will never go away. His love is the 653 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 2: only truth. I find coins, shells in the shape of 654 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: a heart, and birds seem like they are talking just 655 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 2: to me. Amy says in the first month and a 656 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 2: half after he passed, Chris was sending messages like crazy, 657 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 2: but I wasn't getting it. I knew something was happening 658 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 2: because the bathroom lights would flicker every night. I'd go 659 00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,480 Speaker 2: in there and they were flickering. I'd leave the bathroom 660 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 2: and they stop flickering. Then I'd get in bed and 661 00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,120 Speaker 2: the bedside light would flicker. I was in such a 662 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 2: fog that I thought there was something wrong with the 663 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:02,440 Speaker 2: electricity in the house. Finally I met someone who said, oh, 664 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 2: that's Chris. Our children try to get our attention in 665 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:11,880 Speaker 2: any way they can, including through lights, phones, and home electronics. 666 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,399 Speaker 2: In these cases, parents often try to figure out if 667 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 2: there's a logical reason for these incidents, but when there isn't, 668 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 2: they conclude it has to be their child getting their 669 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,959 Speaker 2: attention and saying hello, because there is no other explanation 670 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 2: for how these things can happen. I didn't believe in 671 00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 2: survival of consciousness after death, remarks Ramona, whose daughter Mia 672 00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 2: was one month old when she moved into the next realm. 673 00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,879 Speaker 2: But Mia sure tried from the first day to communicate. 674 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 2: When we came home from the funeral, and of course, 675 00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,080 Speaker 2: imagine the state I was in. We were eating at 676 00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,680 Speaker 2: the table with my parents, MIA's godparents, my husband, and 677 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 2: two other daughters. There was a printer in the room, 678 00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,399 Speaker 2: which was definitely turned off. Suddenly it turned out by 679 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 2: itself and printed a blank page. This is something that 680 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,480 Speaker 2: even my husband, who is a techie, can't explain to 681 00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,760 Speaker 2: this day. When it's turned off, it's turned off. Lights 682 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,200 Speaker 2: are a huge sign from my son, says Lisa h 683 00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 2: whose son Shane changed world at sixteen. My husband is 684 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,799 Speaker 2: a video designer. There were many screens to contend with 685 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,600 Speaker 2: when Shane was here. Shortly after Shane passed, my husband 686 00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:32,920 Speaker 2: and I witnessed a sequence of rainbows spontaneously going across 687 00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 2: a screen while watching a game my husband had created 688 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,520 Speaker 2: just for Shane, but it was never coded that way. 689 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,479 Speaker 2: It was my son manipulating it and coming through to us. 690 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 2: My husband has since developed away for Shane and his 691 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:52,680 Speaker 2: own daughter to communicate with us, using a light show 692 00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 2: in his room. Carly's mom, Irene says, I have learned 693 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 2: that I can continue to communicate with carl that I 694 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 2: still have a relationship with her. I talked to her 695 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,560 Speaker 2: all of the time and encourage her to send me 696 00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 2: signs which I get in the forms of songs, rainbows, 697 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 2: and dream visits. And one of my dream visits, I 698 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 2: asked her, are you with me. She said, I'm always 699 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,399 Speaker 2: with you, but I'm busy. I have a life here. 700 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,880 Speaker 2: If you call on me, I will be there, But 701 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,560 Speaker 2: here I have many things to do. Beverly says her 702 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 2: son Mason, who made his transition from Earth at age nineteen, 703 00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 2: is pretty active. Shortly after he transitioned, I had a 704 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,279 Speaker 2: visitation dream where he just let me know that he 705 00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 2: was okay, healthy and healed. It was very strong. When 706 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 2: you have very strong signs, trust your intuition. You'll know 707 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,080 Speaker 2: if it's something more than wishful. Thinking parents should trust 708 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 2: that the love and the bond with their child is eternal. 709 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 2: It doesn't end, and when their physical body transitions, many 710 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 2: parents have an awareness of their child's presence through their senses. 711 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:12,880 Speaker 2: Some say they have seen their child objectively right in 712 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 2: front of them, even for just a moment. They may 713 00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,719 Speaker 2: hear their child's voice call them or whisper I Love 714 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,840 Speaker 2: you in their ear, and many feel their child's physical touch, 715 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 2: a warm surge of energy, kiss on the cheek, sweet hug, 716 00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 2: or silly poke on the arm while falling asleep. These 717 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:38,080 Speaker 2: glimpses may not happen very often, but even the memory 718 00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 2: of that one time can create smiles for a lifetime. 719 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 2: Those were literally just a few pages from the book 720 00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 2: Shining Light Parents Speak.
