Speaker 2: I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been
Speaker 2: on a journey to prove the existence of life after death.
Speaker 2: On each episodisode, we'll discuss the reasons we now know
Speaker 2: that our loved ones have survived physical death, and so
Speaker 2: will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. I love
Speaker 2: Shades of the Afterlife so much that I woke up
Speaker 2: this morning dreaming that I was recording an episode the
Speaker 2: episode was about movies about the afterlife. It did take
Speaker 2: me a little while to realize it was just a dream.
Speaker 2: And I've already done an episode on that, so if
Speaker 2: you haven't heard it, go way back episode forty Hollywood
Speaker 2: and The Hereafter. It's some of my favorite movies about
Speaker 2: the afterlife, plus celebrities who believe in the afterlife. Very interesting.
Speaker 2: Also on episode one hundred and fifty, I spoke with
Speaker 2: film producer Steven Simon from the movie What Dreams May Come.
Speaker 2: Remember that with Robin Williams, he not only has a
Speaker 2: belief in the afterlife and a Noah, but he does
Speaker 2: automatic writing with his wife, who resides in the Hereafter.
Speaker 2: Also back on episode one hundred and fifty seven, I
Speaker 2: spoke with movie director Stephen Gray and producer Jens Jacob
Speaker 2: on their new movie After Death, which was all about
Speaker 2: near death experiences. Now some of my favorite movies. Number
Speaker 2: one on the list is a comedy defending your life.
Speaker 2: Of course, I love What Dreams May Come. There is
Speaker 2: made in Heaven, Heaven can Wait. Matt Damon had a
Speaker 2: film called Hereafter. So that's just to name a few.
Speaker 2: And now my subconscious mind can easily rest that we
Speaker 2: spoke about the movies today. Don't forget that. You can
Speaker 2: get a list of all Shades of the Afterlife episodes
Speaker 2: by category, plus a free copy of my book We
Speaker 2: Don't Die, a skeptics Discovery of Life after Death, and
Speaker 2: some other pretty cool bonuses if you join my email list,
Speaker 2: it's called the Insiders Club to give it a fancy name,
Speaker 2: but you can find it at the bottom of the
Speaker 2: page at We Don'tdie dot com. I probably dreamt about
Speaker 2: Shades of the Afterlife because I spent the entire day
Speaker 2: yesterday reading and answering your emails, and so many of
Speaker 2: you shared your signs from your loved ones, so I
Speaker 2: want to read them today. And if you have signs
Speaker 2: or a story you'd like to share with me or
Speaker 2: just share with me, you can email me at Sandra
Speaker 2: Champlain at gmail dot com. Before I begin reading some
Speaker 2: of these emails, I want to share with you some
Speaker 2: words that really touched me to the core. On our
Speaker 2: Sunday gathering number two hundred and fifty two, and of
Speaker 2: course that's our free non denominational online service on Zoom.
Speaker 2: Our guest medium who gave the medium demonstration and also
Speaker 2: did our address is a Scottish medium named Stephen trolland
Speaker 2: his mom passed just a few weeks before. He shared
Speaker 2: some incredible words that brought me to tears, as if
Speaker 2: his mom was talking to him from the afterlife. Stephen
Speaker 2: says this about his mom. No matter what troubles she
Speaker 2: went through, she would always say I'm fine, I'm fine.
Speaker 2: Even after calling the ambulance, and he was in the
Speaker 2: ambulance with her. She laid there with her eyes closed,
Speaker 2: holding his hands. She opened her eyes and said to him, Stephen,
Speaker 2: I'm fine. So these words that he wrote are titled
Speaker 2: I'm fine. So if you want to make yourself comfortable
Speaker 2: and think of your loved one as if they're telling
Speaker 2: you these words. When I slipped away from physical sight,
Speaker 2: remember that my love still lives. Don't learn to live
Speaker 2: without me. Just learn to live with my love in
Speaker 2: a different way. And if you need me, listen to
Speaker 2: your heart even now in this very moment, as truly,
Speaker 2: my living presence is within these very words. And I'm
Speaker 2: not just memories, you know. Just ask ask me to
Speaker 2: be within your precious moments because I'm there, I'm here,
Speaker 2: and I'm fine. Do me a favor. Love yourself like
Speaker 2: I do here. I can still care for you. Just
Speaker 2: speak to me whenever you wish for me to sit
Speaker 2: with you, or even just a man, what would I
Speaker 2: say or do. Don't learn to live without me. Just
Speaker 2: treasure me in your own unique way, our way, like
Speaker 2: you have always done. Because I'm there, I'm here, and
Speaker 2: I'm fine. Just like the stars are wrapped around the earth,
Speaker 2: I do the same with you now, in this very moment,
Speaker 2: with my living love still blossoming, wrapped around and within
Speaker 2: your world. And just like the stars that will always
Speaker 2: and forever shine, I will still shine with you. I'm there,
Speaker 2: I'm here, and I'm fine. You will still miss me,
Speaker 2: but your hardships will soften through time. You see all
Speaker 2: this is just the nature of life, And just like
Speaker 2: it is in nature for the stars to softly fade
Speaker 2: into the morning sun. Although you can't see me, I'm there,
Speaker 2: I'm here, and I'm fine, and I am with you
Speaker 2: learning to live with me and my love in this
Speaker 2: new way. You are not alone. Remember that nature it
Speaker 2: cannot lie. So think of us here now as part
Speaker 2: of nature of life. We are all part of life,
Speaker 2: weaved within its beauty. I am everywhere anywhere you wish
Speaker 2: me to be. But most of all, I'm there, I'm here,
Speaker 2: and I'm fine. Distance, it does not matter, and remembering
Speaker 2: that nature cannot lie, and our love being a big
Speaker 2: part of it. This for me is the binding strength
Speaker 2: that continues to be the thread of life that still
Speaker 2: weaves our soul, our heart, and mind together and through
Speaker 2: this thread, and in time your thoughts of separation and
Speaker 2: hardships will soften. But I'll help you. And there are
Speaker 2: many times that you may not know it, but I
Speaker 2: will gently and softly kiss your mind and just hug
Speaker 2: you with my presence to help ease you where no
Speaker 2: words are needed, like I have always done, but with
Speaker 2: thought being a natural and living expression of nature, I
Speaker 2: can still softly weave my love within yours so you
Speaker 2: can still know that I'm there, I'm here, and I'm fine.
Speaker 2: The beauty of life is within everyone, and it is
Speaker 2: still within me too, and the expression of life is everywhere.
Speaker 2: The only difference now is our perception and how you
Speaker 2: look for me and find me in your moments. Now,
Speaker 2: our moments, I am within every breath and every heartbeat.
Speaker 2: I'm there, I'm here, And remember remember to love yourself
Speaker 2: the way I do. And then I'll be fine, Stephen
Speaker 2: trolland went on to say that it's important to keep
Speaker 2: those we love present in our life. That what we
Speaker 2: give our attention to in life, we give our power,
Speaker 2: and if we give our power, we give our presence.
Speaker 2: And by doing that, we're giving ourselves healing, and we
Speaker 2: bring new perspectives into our life. And we're giving our
Speaker 2: attention to those we love in the spirit world because
Speaker 2: that is the meeting place for us, he said, We've
Speaker 2: each only got a short space of time, and remember
Speaker 2: everything you see. Every heart could say a thousand words,
Speaker 2: and there's lifetimes of thoughts and emotions, and beauty is
Speaker 2: in each and every one of us. We come together
Speaker 2: with those we love in this life and in the
Speaker 2: spirit world, and we can bring out the best in
Speaker 2: each other. I think that beauty will see that in you.
Speaker 2: Our souls want us to live a loving and fulfilled life.
Speaker 2: What do you want to give your attention to? He says.
Speaker 2: Out of every demonstration he gives and the thousands of
Speaker 2: readings he's done over the years, each and everyone has
Speaker 2: the same message that our loved ones want us to
Speaker 2: see the best in ourselves. If you're fine, then they
Speaker 2: are that we each have a job to do now.
Speaker 2: Our job is planting the seeds of richness of those
Speaker 2: you love in the spirit world, in the hearts and
Speaker 2: minds of others, to give to allow new seeds new life,
Speaker 2: time to blossom, time to nurture, and nurture that within
Speaker 2: our children, our grandchildren, and our friends, that we each
Speaker 2: have an unlimited amount of possibilities within us. To find
Speaker 2: out more about our wonderful friend, medium Stephen Trolland you
Speaker 2: can go to his website which is Soulfully Embraced dot com.
Speaker 2: And if you wish to watch that full Sunday gathering,
Speaker 2: his full address and his medium demonstration, just go to
Speaker 2: Weedo'tdie dot com, click on the Sunday Gathering page and
Speaker 2: click on Sunday Gathering number two hundred and fifty two,
Speaker 2: the theme being finding Beauty in Grief. I've never been
Speaker 2: fond of expressions like the gift of grief, but I
Speaker 2: can tell you, fifteen years after the death of my dad,
Speaker 2: had I never gone through such intense grief, I would
Speaker 2: have never done the research that I have done, and
Speaker 2: I would never be your host of Shades of the
Speaker 2: Afterlife today. So for me, there was a gift. It's
Speaker 2: time for us to go to the break and when
Speaker 2: we get back, we'll hear some of your emails to
Speaker 2: me and signs from your loved ones. You're listening to
Speaker 2: Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Speaker 2: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of
Speaker 2: the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain. Now I'd like to read
Speaker 2: some of your emails. This one came from Connie. She says, Hi, Sandra,
Speaker 2: I appreciate you sending your book, but I already have
Speaker 2: it on audible and enjoy it very much. As a
Speaker 2: licensed clinical social worker who worked in nursing homes, then
Speaker 2: a private psychiatric hospital after retirement from there, in private
Speaker 2: practice until the age of seventy nine, with a third
Speaker 2: of my practice doing home visits with ill and dying patients,
Speaker 2: as well as at a convent with the religious, it
Speaker 2: has been my privilege to witness a fair amount of
Speaker 2: deathbed visions, the most common one being who are all
Speaker 2: these people in my room? But my favorite story concerns
Speaker 2: my ex husband, who was one among many who didn't
Speaker 2: believe in anything after death. My son constantly said to him, Dad,
Speaker 2: send me a purple elephant. When you get to the
Speaker 2: other side, I would say to my son, that's impossible.
Speaker 2: Give him something easier to find, But my son insisted
Speaker 2: that his father send a purple elephant. My husband died
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving morning in twenty nineteen, before the pandemic, at
Speaker 2: the age of ninety, after having a stroke. Not long afterwards,
Speaker 2: my daughter was invited out to lunch by a friend
Speaker 2: who had no knowledge of the above. She was invited
Speaker 2: to a new restaurant in an out of the way
Speaker 2: place in Long Eye Island. Guess what now. Connie ended
Speaker 2: her email there. I waited. All of a sudden, I
Speaker 2: got a second email with a giant picture on It
Speaker 2: is the front of the restaurant with a huge statue
Speaker 2: of a purple elephant. Thank you for sending that, Connie
Speaker 2: Kay wrote me, and she said, Dear Sandra, I was
Speaker 2: listening to your Shades of the Afterlife episode one ninety six.
Speaker 2: I'm a little behind. On the podcast. You mentioned a
Speaker 2: memory from your ex boyfriend who had transitioned coming in
Speaker 2: on your phone. I had to email you immediately about
Speaker 2: a story of such a thing happening to my sisters
Speaker 2: and I on the day we were giving my dad
Speaker 2: an eightieth birthday party. My stepmom had transitioned tragically six
Speaker 2: years prior to his eightieth birthday. He had really suffered
Speaker 2: a lot of grief and guilt through the years after
Speaker 2: her death. We wanted to give my dad a special
Speaker 2: eightieth birthday party. He seemed really sad because he said
Speaker 2: he always thought if he made it to eighty, she
Speaker 2: would still be with him. My stepmom was quite a
Speaker 2: bit younger than my dad, and he never thought that
Speaker 2: she would go before him. We secretly invited several close
Speaker 2: friends that he had not seen in years to his party.
Speaker 2: On the morning of the party, I had gotten up
Speaker 2: and was in the bathroom getting ready for the morning.
Speaker 2: I was really thinking about my stepmom and how I
Speaker 2: wished she could be there, that it would have made
Speaker 2: his party perfect. Then the light started flickering in the bathroom.
Speaker 2: I thought, that's strange. I then walked out to pick
Speaker 2: up my phone to take it with me outside to
Speaker 2: have morning coffee with my sisters. One sister and I
Speaker 2: lived together, but the other one lives with my dad
Speaker 2: in a different town, which was where the party was at,
Speaker 2: so we don't get together very often. As I picked
Speaker 2: up my phone. It said, you have memories with Nancy
Speaker 2: s that's my stepmom. I opened the memory and what
Speaker 2: was there is on the attachment I sent you. It
Speaker 2: was from eight years ago. Not one time in those
Speaker 2: eight years have I ever received that memory until that day,
Speaker 2: the exact same day as my dad's eightieth birthday party,
Speaker 2: when all of us sisters were together. She was definitely
Speaker 2: there with us and him. And the message that was
Speaker 2: on the attachment said, a message for my daughter in
Speaker 2: my eyes, there is no one that can equal your beauty,
Speaker 2: no one that can describe how much you mean to me,
Speaker 2: nothing that could lessen my love for you as you
Speaker 2: have it now and for all of eternity, no matter
Speaker 2: how old you might be, you will always be my
Speaker 2: little girl to me. And that was from Nancy. Two K,
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for sharing that K. This next
Speaker 2: email came from Catherine. She writes, Hello, missus Sandra. My
Speaker 2: name is Catherine and I was a hospice nurse for
Speaker 2: twenty four years. I lost my daughter Lexi in a
Speaker 2: car accident, and I've been listening to your show, which
Speaker 2: I absolutely love. I wanted to share some of the
Speaker 2: incredible signs I've received since her passing, as they have
Speaker 2: brought me both comfort and awe. The first sign came
Speaker 2: the day Lexi passed away. She had her own apartment
Speaker 2: in a two flat home that I own. The hoodvent
Speaker 2: in her apartment fell halfway off on the very day
Speaker 2: she died, as if it was almost a message her.
Speaker 2: After the funeral, we played the song if I Die Young.
Speaker 2: On the way to the cemetery, we passed a group
Speaker 2: of motorcycles and one of the bikers was playing that
Speaker 2: very song on his harley. If you know that song,
Speaker 2: you'll understand how rare it is to hear such a
Speaker 2: feminine song played on a harley. Everyone heard it, from
Speaker 2: the funeral director to the pastor, and we were all
Speaker 2: in disbelief. Another sign came when I was driving down
Speaker 2: the highway. My daughter had been an assistant manager at
Speaker 2: Dollar General, and her funeral photo was taken in a
Speaker 2: field of sunflowers, her favorite flower. Suddenly, a Dollar General
Speaker 2: truck appeared in front of me, displayed a symbol of
Speaker 2: a mother and a daughter holding hands surrounded by sunflowers.
Speaker 2: It was like Lexi was reminding me that she was
Speaker 2: still with me. There was a time I visited at
Speaker 2: Alexi's sister's house and asked if she had any cream
Speaker 2: for my coffee. She mentioned she only had milk, which
Speaker 2: was probably expired. The expiration date it was Lexi's birthday.
Speaker 2: One of the most emotional signs was on Lexi's crash report.
Speaker 2: Instead of listing her actual birthday, the report mistakenly displayed
Speaker 2: my other daughter's birthday. A powerful sign involved my mother
Speaker 2: when she was being evaluated for a possible als diagnosis.
Speaker 2: She went home, opened her computer, and the first thing
Speaker 2: that appeared was the Bible verse Lexi had tattooed on
Speaker 2: her body. It was Matthew six thirty four, Do not
Speaker 2: worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself.
Speaker 2: That verse has become a source of peace for our family.
Speaker 2: Another significant moment happened when I was driving with my
Speaker 2: son and thinking about Lexi. Out of nowhere, a dump
Speaker 2: truck from the same company involved in her car accident
Speaker 2: pulled out in front of us, as if to remind
Speaker 2: us that she was close. Shortly after Lexi passed, I
Speaker 2: helped a friend pass out Halloween candy. Her elderly neighbor
Speaker 2: who had dementia, was seeing people in her home since
Speaker 2: I was a nurse, she asked me to check on her.
Speaker 2: The woman described seeing a young girl who matched Lexi's
Speaker 2: age and appearance. As we talked, she shared that she
Speaker 2: had lost her son in a car accident the same
Speaker 2: way I lost Lexi and at a similar age. When
Speaker 2: she told me the name of the cemetery where he
Speaker 2: was buried, it turned out to be the same cemetery
Speaker 2: as Lexi. I felt drawn to find his plot even
Speaker 2: among the thousands there, and incredibly, the fourth one I
Speaker 2: approached was his located kitty corner from Lexi's resting place.
Speaker 2: Most recently, I was having a rough day thinking about
Speaker 2: Lexi and decided I was going to go to the
Speaker 2: thrift shop. Something made me continue to go there, even
Speaker 2: though I was kinda hesitant on going in and thought
Speaker 2: about turning around. When I walked in and on an
Speaker 2: end cap there was a stocking with L E XI,
Speaker 2: which is Lexi's name. It was even crooked, which was
Speaker 2: the same way Lexi had her name on her name tag.
Speaker 2: I ended up buying the stocking and hanging it up
Speaker 2: this Christmas. I could go on with so many other
Speaker 2: powerful signs, but these are a few that have felt
Speaker 2: deeply significant to me. I believe in the afterlife because
Speaker 2: of experiences like these, as well as the countless patience
Speaker 2: I cared for during my years in hospice, who described
Speaker 2: being visited by deceased loved ones before they passed. Catherine
Speaker 2: gave me her phone number and said she would love
Speaker 2: to share more stories. I reached out to Catherine to
Speaker 2: see if we may do an interview with her and
Speaker 2: hear her voice and hear more about Lexi and some
Speaker 2: of the stories of people that passed in hospice. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much, Catherine for sending me this. We got
Speaker 2: another email from another Catherine. She says, Hi, Sandra, I
Speaker 2: told you about a telephone call I received from my
Speaker 2: deceased brother. So here it is. Although I had three
Speaker 2: older brothers, all of whom are in spirit, one I
Speaker 2: was particularly close to pat. Every Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day,
Speaker 2: we would call each other from wherever we were in
Speaker 2: the world France, Washington, Minnesota, Ireland, etc. It didn't matter.
Speaker 2: It would typically go like this. He and his family
Speaker 2: would open the presence we had sent them, and then
Speaker 2: they would call to thank us. Several hours later because
Speaker 2: of the different time zones, after we opened our gifts
Speaker 2: from them. We would call his family back and thank
Speaker 2: them for our gifts. After a relatively short but intense
Speaker 2: six month or deal with esophagus cancer in two thousand
Speaker 2: and one, he passed in June of that year. Fast
Speaker 2: forward to Christmas Eve that year. I had been doing
Speaker 2: last minute Christmas errands, returning home about six pm to
Speaker 2: notice the red light blinking on the answering machine. It
Speaker 2: would have been two hours later in Minneapolis. At that
Speaker 2: time I listened to the message. I heard nothing but static,
Speaker 2: but then within the static my brother Pat's voice saying
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas. And then I heard a nickname that only
Speaker 2: he and I knew. I'm absolutely certain of what I heard.
Speaker 2: I listened to it probably fifty times. After a bit,
Speaker 2: my son came home and I told him listen to
Speaker 2: this message, and I watched his face turn white. He said,
Speaker 2: it sounds like Uncle Pat wishing you merry Christmas. Not
Speaker 2: being one to enjoy after death communications, he high tailed
Speaker 2: it out of there. Then in sequence, my husband and
Speaker 2: daughter each came home and listened to it. No one
Speaker 2: has any doubts that it was the voice of my brother.
Speaker 2: To this day, it was the greatest Christmas Present ever. Friends,
Speaker 2: I love your stories. Please keep sending them to me.
Speaker 2: We're going to head to the break and when we
Speaker 2: come back, we'll hear some more stories. You're listening to
Speaker 2: Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Speaker 2: Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Shades of
Speaker 2: the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain, and right now we're featuring
Speaker 2: emails that I've received from your fellow listeners. This one's
Speaker 2: from Dana. She's at I Sandra. I know that you
Speaker 2: occasionally produce episodes of the podcast that are devoted to
Speaker 2: signs from our loved ones in the spirit world, so
Speaker 2: I thought i'd share one of many that you might enjoy.
Speaker 2: If you ever decide to do another signs episode, feel
Speaker 2: free to use it or not. It certainly wouldn't hurt
Speaker 2: my feelings if you don't.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Dana here. It is one of the many times that
Speaker 2: I was driving across the vast desert that makes up
Speaker 2: much of the drive between my home in Austin, Texas
Speaker 2: and my mother's home in San Diego, California, I was
Speaker 2: listening to one of your podcast episodes that you had
Speaker 2: dedicated to signs sent by our loved ones. I had
Speaker 2: been extremely close to my maternal grandmother when I was
Speaker 2: a child, and when she passed in two thousand and seven,
Speaker 2: it broke my heart. Of course, the years passed and
Speaker 2: the hurt healed, but I talked to her often, even
Speaker 2: though I never asked for or expected a sign from her.
Speaker 2: When You're our episode had concluded, I decided to ask
Speaker 2: her for a sign. I asked out loud, as you
Speaker 2: had suggested I do. I asked her to send me
Speaker 2: a pink feather. You said, to be specific, Sandra, And
Speaker 2: when I was satisfied that I had made myself clear
Speaker 2: and that she must have heard me, I turned the
Speaker 2: radio back on and waited for my sign, which I
Speaker 2: expected to come in about two weeks. A half an
Speaker 2: hour later, I pulled off the highway to stop into
Speaker 2: a goodwill thrift store. I am a vintage clothing in
Speaker 2: housewares dealer by trade, and often will stop at thrift
Speaker 2: shops while I am traveling to see if I can
Speaker 2: find any treasures. I went in, found a cartful of stuff,
Speaker 2: and walked the cart out to the parking lot to
Speaker 2: my car to empty my newly purchased loot. Everything was
Speaker 2: perfectly normal. I turned around to return the cart to
Speaker 2: the interior of the store when a small white feather
Speaker 2: rolled across my path. I looked at it and thought, oh,
Speaker 2: a feather, But then I was disappointed to see that
Speaker 2: it was not pink but white, or was it? As
Speaker 2: I looked closer, I noticed that the small feather was
Speaker 2: actually a very pale pink color. I thought that maybe
Speaker 2: it was just the light and that I was trying
Speaker 2: to force a puzzle piece into the wrong spot, so
Speaker 2: I just rolled past it, and then I stopped dead
Speaker 2: in my tracks when another definitely pink feather rolled across
Speaker 2: my feet. I felt a shock of electricity surged through
Speaker 2: my body and all my hair stood up on end.
Speaker 2: As I bent down to pick up the second feather,
Speaker 2: I suddenly saw pink feathers in three different shades flying
Speaker 2: all around my feet, where there had been absolutely none
Speaker 2: anywhere less than three minutes before. I looked around to
Speaker 2: see if anyone was wearing a pink feather jacket or
Speaker 2: a boa or something, but there was no one anywhere
Speaker 2: near me. It was absolutely astonishing. There was absolutely no
Speaker 2: doubt in my mind that she was making herself known,
Speaker 2: and it would have been just like her too, not
Speaker 2: to just send one pink feather, but to do it
Speaker 2: up in a big way and send me as many
Speaker 2: as she could muster. She never did anything halfway. Since then,
Speaker 2: I have received many more signs from her and from
Speaker 2: other loved ones as well. Since I learned from you
Speaker 2: that all I have to do is ask and to
Speaker 2: pay attention, I have had some incredible gifts from my
Speaker 2: loved ones in spirit. Thank you again for everything you do.
Speaker 2: I know I've said it before, but you are really
Speaker 2: changing lives friend, Dana. Thanks so much, Dana, sending you
Speaker 2: so much love and keep the stories coming. Our next
Speaker 2: story comes from Marylyn and in it she refers to
Speaker 2: Phil Dike's Phil and his wife Carrie McLeod are the
Speaker 2: medium tutors that I trust the most to teach medium classes.
Speaker 2: So here are her words. I hadn't been meditating that
Speaker 2: much lately, but yesterday did an hour meditation that Phil
Speaker 2: Dikes had on YouTube. At the end of the meditation,
Speaker 2: I silently asked my daughter Amy to please visit me
Speaker 2: in my dreams that night. I hadn't been receiving many
Speaker 2: signs lately, Sandra, I had the most amazing visitation dream
Speaker 2: from Amy that I've ever had in the last three years.
Speaker 2: In the dream, we discovered another room in our house.
Speaker 2: It was her old room, but bigger, with a queen
Speaker 2: size bed in it, but we hadn't opened the door
Speaker 2: since she passed. I opened the door and the room
Speaker 2: had so much dust in it, but it was pretty,
Speaker 2: so I thought I would clean it up and we
Speaker 2: would store all of her art in it. It was
Speaker 2: a perfect place for that. Dad came in the room
Speaker 2: with me, and I said, let's leave the bed for
Speaker 2: guests to sleep in. And I began to take the
Speaker 2: blanket off, and just then I felt a live figure
Speaker 2: with me. It was Amy, a little younger. I felt
Speaker 2: her whole outline as she was moving, and I could
Speaker 2: see her brownish hair. I said, Amy, where have you been?
Speaker 2: She said, Mom, I've been night gazing. I kept touching
Speaker 2: her body, proving she was still alive, and I said
Speaker 2: to her Dad record her words. I hugged her and
Speaker 2: hugged her, and just then I woke up again. I
Speaker 2: was meditating the night before for an hour, and I
Speaker 2: asked her to come in my dreams for a visitation.
Speaker 2: It's the asking for signs and visits. That's what I've
Speaker 2: finally learned. We have to do, not beg but simply ask,
Speaker 2: and you never know when a sign or a visit
Speaker 2: will come. I had woken up and gone back to
Speaker 2: sleep and had this visitation somewhere between seven and eight
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning. I think that is an easy
Speaker 2: time for our loved ones to visit us because we
Speaker 2: fall back into a deeper consciousness, a much higher vibration.
Speaker 2: I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much, Sandra, Carrie
Speaker 2: and Phil. Thank you so much, Marilyn for sharing that.
Speaker 2: I have recorded several different episodes about dreams, and I
Speaker 2: clearly remember doctor Janet Pete Alatto. That was episode one
Speaker 2: point eighty four. Yes, the importance of talking to our
Speaker 2: loved ones and asking for signs and meditating, but she said,
Speaker 2: when you wake up in the morning, you're in that
Speaker 2: zone somewhere between awake and a slow and we can
Speaker 2: jumpstart our own dreams with our loved ones and picture
Speaker 2: them with us and let it unfold, and it's an
Speaker 2: easy time for them to join us in that day
Speaker 2: dreamy state. And the other episode one fifty six about
Speaker 2: lucid dreaming this sounds very much like what Marilyn was experiencing.
Speaker 2: I know for myself when I get that second sleep,
Speaker 2: you know, when the bladder wakes you up somewhere in
Speaker 2: the middle of the night and you get a couple
Speaker 2: more hours of sleep, that's when these clear dreams can
Speaker 2: tend to happen. So if we are in communication with
Speaker 2: our loved one asking for signs, having that intention, I
Speaker 2: hope if you haven't heard those episodes, you go back
Speaker 2: and check them out, because there's nothing more comforting than
Speaker 2: feeling a hug from your loved one, hearing their voice,
Speaker 2: waking up and knowing it was the real thing. Let's
Speaker 2: continue with the words I got from Paul. He said, Hi,
Speaker 2: and last week I had a session with the medium
Speaker 2: who was on your show, and I was completely blown away.
Speaker 2: I used the yes, no, and not sure technique, and
Speaker 2: she was accurate about ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 2: It felt surreal. I couldn't believe all the information she
Speaker 2: was saying, especially when she delivered the exact message I
Speaker 2: had asked my dad to convey as evidence of the afterlife.
Speaker 2: You see, when my dad passed away, I visited him
Speaker 2: in the funeral home three times from his passing, no
Speaker 2: one removed his glasses, and he wore them throughout during
Speaker 2: the rest. On my final visit before the funeral service,
Speaker 2: I decided to take off his glasses and I took
Speaker 2: them home and put them in a pouch for a keepsake.
Speaker 2: No one was with me when I did this, and
Speaker 2: only my mom knew about it. Before my session ended
Speaker 2: with the medium, I had asked my dad to mention
Speaker 2: what I did as a sign, knowing that no one
Speaker 2: else would know. Amazingly, she brought up the topic of
Speaker 2: me taking the glasses off his face. She even said
Speaker 2: that my dad joked, why did you do that, Paul,
Speaker 2: I couldn't see afterwards, a remark that perfectly matched my
Speaker 2: dad's sense of humor. You can only imagine how astonished
Speaker 2: I was. This was such an incredible experience, and I
Speaker 2: want to thank you again for your show and providing
Speaker 2: a platform to explore and open our minds to these possibilities.
Speaker 2: You are truly blessed for the work you do. Kind regards, Paul, Paul,
Speaker 2: thank you so much. I think for each and every
Speaker 2: one of us, it's easy to share when we find
Speaker 2: something that makes a difference. For ourselves something or someone.
Speaker 2: Now Paul brings up mediums and on my first podcast,
Speaker 2: which you can still find today, we Don't Die, a
Speaker 2: radio that is on YouTube. Over the course of almost
Speaker 2: five hundred episodes, I've interviewed in full length a lot
Speaker 2: of people, many of whom were mediums. I have to
Speaker 2: be honest, in the first many years that podcast is
Speaker 2: now eleven years old, but in the first many many
Speaker 2: years I just interviewed anybody who had a story about
Speaker 2: the afterlife. It wasn't till the last two or three
Speaker 2: years I would say that the mediums that I've had
Speaker 2: on I have asked them point blank, do you offer
Speaker 2: a money back guarantee. There's something called a ten minute guarantee.
Speaker 2: You want to be sure if you go to a
Speaker 2: medium that they have that guarantee. For whatever the reason.
Speaker 2: Maybe the signal's not right between your loved one and them.
Speaker 2: But if you aren't getting good evidence in the first
Speaker 2: ten minutes, the medium reading to an end and you
Speaker 2: don't pay. I may read more stories from fellow listeners
Speaker 2: when we get back, but I have an instinct to
Speaker 2: share some words from parents who have children residing in
Speaker 2: the unseen world. You see many of the emails that
Speaker 2: I got were not stories of signs, but there were
Speaker 2: stories of heartbreak. The great author Richard Bach said, don't
Speaker 2: be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before meeting again,
Speaker 2: and meeting again after moments or lifetimes is certain for
Speaker 2: those who are friends. We will see them all again,
Speaker 2: and I'll see you again just after the break. We'll
Speaker 2: be right back. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife
Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain,
Speaker 2: and you've been hearing some lovely emails that people have
Speaker 2: sent me. I wish I could say all the emails
Speaker 2: I received were joyful messages of signs and reunions. But
Speaker 2: to be honest, ninety percent of the emails I receive
Speaker 2: are letters of grief. It is a tough journey, as
Speaker 2: you know. If you do not yet have a copy
Speaker 2: of my book again, please go to Weedn'tdie dot com.
Speaker 2: The bottom of the page, you can enter your name
Speaker 2: and your email address says you get the first few
Speaker 2: chapters of my book. It's the entire book. Chapter ten
Speaker 2: is one of the most important chapters about grief and
Speaker 2: moving through the process. Things we can do, things that
Speaker 2: are out of our control. There are many emails I
Speaker 2: receive from parents. No matter what kind of grief you experience,
Speaker 2: it's all brutal. But for parents listening, please go to
Speaker 2: Helpingparents Heal dot org if you're not a parent, they
Speaker 2: have great resources that you can find on their YouTube
Speaker 2: channel through their website. In our last segment together, I
Speaker 2: want to read some words from these parents. They're called
Speaker 2: Shining Light Parents. I love that there's a page on
Speaker 2: their website with some of the book titles written by
Speaker 2: these parents. Shining Light Parents Speak, Helping Fathers, Heal. Still
Speaker 2: right here, gathering at the doorway. Mom, I'm not gone.
Speaker 2: We're not done yet. Pop. My lessons from the other side,
Speaker 2: Resilient grieving, Hello from Heaven, Grief to Growth, Messages of hope,
Speaker 2: My search for Christopher on the other side, Conversations with
Speaker 2: Clo we Never left You to Heaven and back, and
Speaker 2: dozens and dozens and dozens more. Not too long ago,
Speaker 2: on episode two one three, I got to speak with
Speaker 2: doctor Mark Pittstick, who put together a book along with
Speaker 2: four Shining Light parents including one hundred and thirty stories
Speaker 2: from other Shining Light parents. Within Helping Parents Heal, we
Speaker 2: talk about the great book that they put together, and
Speaker 2: I thought today, in our last segment together, I'll read
Speaker 2: some of the stories from some of the parents again.
Speaker 2: This is from the book Shining Light Parents Speak. The
Speaker 2: title of chapter two is Sensing your Child's Presence. Our
Speaker 2: children have graduated from Earth School, but they are not
Speaker 2: far away. They are in a different realm, dimension, or
Speaker 2: vibrational reality that many of us cannot detect with our
Speaker 2: five senses. However, a sixth sense and other ways to
Speaker 2: perceive them can come into play. This chapter answers the
Speaker 2: question have you learned to optimally sense your children's living presence.
Speaker 2: Members of Helping Parents Heal have shared how their kids
Speaker 2: communicate through a vast array of signs. A bird, a
Speaker 2: license plate, a song on the radio, a touch, or
Speaker 2: even a whisper. These connections are easily dismissed by people
Speaker 2: who have no need for them and consider them to
Speaker 2: be mere coincidences. But those of us who have had
Speaker 2: these pleasantly surprising signs and synchronicities have no doubt they
Speaker 2: are from our children. There is an unexplainable resonance that
Speaker 2: accompanies these validations when you know, you know. The following
Speaker 2: accounts of one hundred and thirty affiliate leaders in Caring
Speaker 2: Listeners interviews are just a small sampling of those told
Speaker 2: by many thousands of members of Helping Parents Heal. This
Speaker 2: book offers an excellent representation of the continued connections we
Speaker 2: have with our children. They are always with us because
Speaker 2: love never dies and relationships continue. Siama's mom, Marie said,
Speaker 2: she said to me once, I'm going to send you
Speaker 2: a rainbow. There were no clouds in the sky. But
Speaker 2: by the time I got home, maybe three minutes later,
Speaker 2: my husband said, there's a rainbow outside, but it's not raining.
Speaker 2: Chris R's Sun Shawn communicated with his parents right away
Speaker 2: after his transition from Earth at the age twenty three.
Speaker 2: On the night we decided to discontinue Shawn's life support,
Speaker 2: we left the hospital and sat out on the patio
Speaker 2: as the sun went down illuminated over the hospital. The
Speaker 2: sky looked just like a giant pair of angel wings.
Speaker 2: We always called him our angel boy, and his middle
Speaker 2: name was Gabriel. Deb N knows that it helps to
Speaker 2: keep in communication with her son, Dean, who changed worlds
Speaker 2: at twenty four. I love getting signs from Dean and
Speaker 2: I always thank him. His ability to provide them is
Speaker 2: just incredible. On Thanksgiving Day, I was out in my
Speaker 2: mother in law's backyard overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and this
Speaker 2: hummingbird was flying around as the sun was setting. I said, Dean,
Speaker 2: it would be really nice if you could help me
Speaker 2: out here and let me take a picture of that
Speaker 2: hummingbird in front of the sunset. The little hummingbird landed
Speaker 2: on top of a bush, lined up with the sun
Speaker 2: and sat there for ten minutes as the sun set.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing that he's really responsive to.
Speaker 2: I just believe it. It's a choice, but it takes
Speaker 2: time to get there. I know he's here, I recognize it.
Speaker 2: Ask him for signs, and he just shows up with them.
Speaker 2: Barb says her son, Jordan is amazing. I sit outside
Speaker 2: and we can ask for a falling star and he
Speaker 2: will provide it. My husband and I were camping and
Speaker 2: it was super cold. We wanted to go inside, so
Speaker 2: he gave him a countdown. By the time we got
Speaker 2: to four, there went a shooting star right where we
Speaker 2: said it was going to be. Jordan passed at the
Speaker 2: age of twenty five. One of the first signs was
Speaker 2: a tiny frog, says Bibet, mom to Daniel, who transitioned
Speaker 2: from Earth at age twenty five. Daniel loved frogs, and
Speaker 2: since his passing we've received hundreds of frogs. One time,
Speaker 2: I was desperate for a sign and asked him for
Speaker 2: a frog, even though it wasn't the right season for them.
Speaker 2: I got up and opened a cabinet in the house,
Speaker 2: and a frog jumped out and landed on my leg.
Speaker 2: It's been to us to magical. Marilyn's son Kevin made
Speaker 2: his transition from Earth after a three and a half
Speaker 2: year illness. I wish I could say I hear him
Speaker 2: and see him as clearly as some other people do.
Speaker 2: But I do talk to him all the time. I
Speaker 2: get signs, and I feel the love he has for
Speaker 2: his family will never go away. His love is the
Speaker 2: only truth. I find coins, shells in the shape of
Speaker 2: a heart, and birds seem like they are talking just
Speaker 2: to me. Amy says in the first month and a
Speaker 2: half after he passed, Chris was sending messages like crazy,
Speaker 2: but I wasn't getting it. I knew something was happening
Speaker 2: because the bathroom lights would flicker every night. I'd go
Speaker 2: in there and they were flickering. I'd leave the bathroom
Speaker 2: and they stop flickering. Then I'd get in bed and
Speaker 2: the bedside light would flicker. I was in such a
Speaker 2: fog that I thought there was something wrong with the
Speaker 2: electricity in the house. Finally I met someone who said, oh,
Speaker 2: that's Chris. Our children try to get our attention in
Speaker 2: any way they can, including through lights, phones, and home electronics.
Speaker 2: In these cases, parents often try to figure out if
Speaker 2: there's a logical reason for these incidents, but when there isn't,
Speaker 2: they conclude it has to be their child getting their
Speaker 2: attention and saying hello, because there is no other explanation
Speaker 2: for how these things can happen. I didn't believe in
Speaker 2: survival of consciousness after death, remarks Ramona, whose daughter Mia
Speaker 2: was one month old when she moved into the next realm.
Speaker 2: But Mia sure tried from the first day to communicate.
Speaker 2: When we came home from the funeral, and of course,
Speaker 2: imagine the state I was in. We were eating at
Speaker 2: the table with my parents, MIA's godparents, my husband, and
Speaker 2: two other daughters. There was a printer in the room,
Speaker 2: which was definitely turned off. Suddenly it turned out by
Speaker 2: itself and printed a blank page. This is something that
Speaker 2: even my husband, who is a techie, can't explain to
Speaker 2: this day. When it's turned off, it's turned off. Lights
Speaker 2: are a huge sign from my son, says Lisa h
Speaker 2: whose son Shane changed world at sixteen. My husband is
Speaker 2: a video designer. There were many screens to contend with
Speaker 2: when Shane was here. Shortly after Shane passed, my husband
Speaker 2: and I witnessed a sequence of rainbows spontaneously going across
Speaker 2: a screen while watching a game my husband had created
Speaker 2: just for Shane, but it was never coded that way.
Speaker 2: It was my son manipulating it and coming through to us.
Speaker 2: My husband has since developed away for Shane and his
Speaker 2: own daughter to communicate with us, using a light show
Speaker 2: in his room. Carly's mom, Irene says, I have learned
Speaker 2: that I can continue to communicate with carl that I
Speaker 2: still have a relationship with her. I talked to her
Speaker 2: all of the time and encourage her to send me
Speaker 2: signs which I get in the forms of songs, rainbows,
Speaker 2: and dream visits. And one of my dream visits, I
Speaker 2: asked her, are you with me. She said, I'm always
Speaker 2: with you, but I'm busy. I have a life here.
Speaker 2: If you call on me, I will be there, But
Speaker 2: here I have many things to do. Beverly says her
Speaker 2: son Mason, who made his transition from Earth at age nineteen,
Speaker 2: is pretty active. Shortly after he transitioned, I had a
Speaker 2: visitation dream where he just let me know that he
Speaker 2: was okay, healthy and healed. It was very strong. When
Speaker 2: you have very strong signs, trust your intuition. You'll know
Speaker 2: if it's something more than wishful. Thinking parents should trust
Speaker 2: that the love and the bond with their child is eternal.
Speaker 2: It doesn't end, and when their physical body transitions, many
Speaker 2: parents have an awareness of their child's presence through their senses.
Speaker 2: Some say they have seen their child objectively right in
Speaker 2: front of them, even for just a moment. They may
Speaker 2: hear their child's voice call them or whisper I Love
Speaker 2: you in their ear, and many feel their child's physical touch,
Speaker 2: a warm surge of energy, kiss on the cheek, sweet hug,
Speaker 2: or silly poke on the arm while falling asleep. These
Speaker 2: glimpses may not happen very often, but even the memory
Speaker 2: of that one time can create smiles for a lifetime.
Speaker 2: Those were literally just a few pages from the book
