13
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: I'm Sandra Champlain. For over twenty five years, I've been

14
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 3: on a journey to prove the existence of life after death.

15
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: On each episode, we'll discuss the reasons we now know

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: that our loved ones have survived physical death, and so

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: will we. Welcome to Shades of the Afterlife. Yesterday, when

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 3: I woke up, I checked my email on my phone.

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: Next thing you know, I was looking at YouTube, one

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: video after another, and a video popped up on the

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 3: power of gratitude, and this fellow said that if we

22
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 3: start our day being grateful and sincerely grateful for three things,

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: that our day will be significantly better and we will

24
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 3: be significantly happier. So I started my day thinking of

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 3: a few things, and I got out of bed. A

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: little bit later on in the day, I helped my

27
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: mom out with a few things, and very true, I

28
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: was significantly happier. This also left me looking for reasons

29
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 3: to be grateful during the day and also looking for

30
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: more opportunities to make a difference. Now I live here

31
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 3: with my mom and I know her favorite food these

32
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: days is this cinnamon roll called Bobka bab Ka. She

33
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: can only find it at a few specialty shops and

34
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 3: it is very expensive. So after she went to bed

35
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: last night, I did a little search for a homemade

36
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: Bobka recipe, and last night I made the dough, let

37
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: it rest overnight, and this morning I was to finish

38
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: it and bake it. I woke up this morning, sprang

39
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: out of bed at five fifty five am, knowing that

40
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 3: I had some baking to do. Remembered, Ah, what are

41
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: three things I'm grateful for? And what I chose for

42
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 3: today is being grateful to hear as I had my

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 3: window open and heard all kinds of nature sounds, and

44
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: remembering the sounds of music and the sound of voices

45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: of people that I love. I chose to be grateful

46
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: for the bed that I sleep in, knowing that so

47
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: many people, whether they're homeless or don't have a bed,

48
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: that I have a nice, cozy, warm bed. And the

49
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: third thing to be grateful for, And don't laugh, but

50
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 3: it's indoor plumbing. Yes, there's places in the world that

51
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: don't have it. And thank goodness we're living in twenty

52
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 3: twenty three. And how lucky I am because my bathroom

53
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: is just around the corner. The older we get tougher,

54
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: it is on our bladders. Right. I sailed down the steps,

55
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: rolled out this dough, filled it with this cinnamon butter

56
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 3: sugar mixture. I had to cut it a certain way

57
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: and braid it and put it in the loaf pans,

58
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 3: and the most delicious a bobca came out of the oven.

59
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 3: It was like the best cinnamon role you've ever had.

60
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: My day started out right. A little bit later, when

61
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: I was getting ready, I happened to notice my quote

62
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 3: of the day. I try to always have something inspirational

63
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: around me, because it's really easy to forget that we

64
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 3: are divine souls having a human experience. And this said,

65
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 3: the greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose

66
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 3: one thought over another. And oh do I love that,

67
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 3: because we have habits for thinking whether we're grieving and

68
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 3: have thoughts of guilt where sometimes we just get stuck

69
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: in a rut, but we can purposely put in a

70
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: thought of what we're grateful for and sincerely feel it

71
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: and it will change our mood. So it was a

72
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: big day, cooking my mother her most favorite thing, knowing

73
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,239
Speaker 3: that I possessed the skill to make it. But here's

74
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: one thing I haven't told you. Thirteen years ago today,

75
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 3: my father took his last breath. It was one of

76
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: the darkest, deepest, most awful days of my entire life.

77
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: My mind wanted to start going back through the past

78
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 3: and not thinking of the cheery memories with Dad, but

79
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: thinking of the negative things, the fights between my siblings

80
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 3: and myself, the fear, and all the things that followed.

81
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:49,559
Speaker 3: I consciously made the choice to say Sandra without Dad

82
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: going exactly how he did with all the things that happened.

83
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: I would have never done the research on grief. I

84
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: would have never studied so much about the afterlife. I

85
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: would have never written my book, and I certainly would

86
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: never have this podcast. So today, this day, yes, it's

87
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: the day my father took his last breath. That's also

88
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 3: the day he stepped into the afterlife, and it's also

89
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: the day of the Bobka. So forever in history, when

90
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: I think of my dad and his final breaths, I

91
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 3: will think of my mom and I enjoying the most

92
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: delicious treat. I know that's probably a weird story to

93
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: start off the episode with, but I'm glad we're together

94
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: today because as cheery as I can be, when someone passes,

95
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: the wound is never fully healed. Sometimes feeling a little

96
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: bit of grief can just reignite some of the memories

97
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 3: and some of the pain we felt. It's not an

98
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 3: easy road going through grief and getting back into life.

99
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 3: While we may not fully heal, we are not alone.

100
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: Whether you talk to one person, a thousand people, a

101
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 3: million people, sometimes it's your story of how you survived

102
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: and continued on with your life that is the exact story.

103
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: Somebody needs to hear. So I have a request. Let

104
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 3: your light shine, share yourself, be true to who you are.

105
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: You are surrounded by love, and you are loved. And

106
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 3: if you need a good recipe for Bobka, you just

107
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: let me know. I'd love to read you. An email

108
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: that I just received from a listener, she says, Hi, Sandra,

109
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: I took your advice and asked my friend to meet

110
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 3: me in a dream. I told him that before I

111
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: went to sleep. The first half of the night, I

112
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: slept lightly, and as I woke in the night, I

113
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: said again, Okay, let's do this. I'll see you in

114
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 3: my dream. Sure enough, I found myself in the halls

115
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: of my old high school, and I was feeling grief

116
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: about the separation that had occurred between us. And then

117
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: I felt a tap on my shoulder. When I turned around,

118
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: it was him. I've had spirit visions before, and they

119
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: are always glowing with this radiant luminescence. He was brighter

120
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 3: than we are here in the physical, and he looked

121
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: like he was older than my high school memories, but

122
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: at his absolute best in his twenties, very handsome and healthy.

123
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: Unfortunately he passed from drugs. Anyways, my mind caught up

124
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: with me, and I thought, oh, my goodness, you're here.

125
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: This is crazy. And as I thought it, he turned

126
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: and disappeared down the hall and I woke up. I

127
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: just feel on cloud nine now knowing I can communicate

128
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 3: with him, even through a dream. I guess sometimes it

129
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 3: is as simple as ask and you shall receive. You

130
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: know what's really funny as I read you that story,

131
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: what kicked in in my mind was I never get

132
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: dreams like that. No, no, no that. Oh we can be

133
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 3: so negative, can't we ask and we shall receive? Here's

134
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: the thing. Your loved ones want to be in touch

135
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: with you. I'm sure they do, but it takes something

136
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: from our side. So on my side, have I made

137
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: it a practice to go to bed and ask? Am

138
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: I journaling my dreams?

139
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: No?

140
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: So you know we need to participate in this. Also,

141
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 3: I'd like to read you one more from another listener.

142
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: She says, I have been going through some tough stuff

143
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: with my dad and have turned to your podcasts to

144
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: help occupying my mind. Recently, in one you mentioned the veil,

145
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 3: and it reminded me of a dream that I had

146
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: about six weeks ago. I thought you might enjoy hearing

147
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 3: about what I experienced. My mother, who was in spirit,

148
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: was with me in a large, almost warehouse type art store.

149
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 3: She was walking behind me and we were communicating telepathically,

150
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: but she was behind this milky but see through screen

151
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: that kind of had a great color to it. As

152
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 3: we walked, it went with us. I thought it was

153
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: so fascinating and it was very vivid and left me

154
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 3: feeling that she is always with me. The other thing

155
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 3: that really resonated was episode one oh nine when you

156
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: mentioned apports. I had never heard of this before. When

157
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: I was at the Vancouver gathering with mediums Carrie and Phil,

158
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 3: I was working with one of my classmates who I've

159
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 3: never been able to successfully read on zoom Anyway, I

160
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 3: ended up bringing up a necklace that was purchased in

161
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: Egypt by her mother and she inherited it upon her

162
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: mother's passing. She had lost it this past fall and

163
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: was devastated, but that part didn't come out in the reading.

164
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: On Easter Sunday, she was drawn to look at a

165
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: picture on some shelves in her home and that exact

166
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: necklace was draped over the side of the picture frame.

167
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 3: She knew exactly where she had left it when she

168
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: lost it. She said there is no way that she

169
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 3: would have ever put that necklace on the picture frame.

170
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 3: So I suppose that's another good example of an apport.

171
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: I just had to share that because the little reading

172
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: that I did for her actually did have some deep

173
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: meaning to it. I love a good story of things

174
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: showing up out of the blue and what our loved

175
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: ones can do from the afterlife. The only appport I've

176
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 3: ever received that I know of is just a few

177
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 3: years ago, I lost one of my most favorite earrings.

178
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: I was devastated. It's one that I always wear. Tore

179
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: the house apart, no sign of it. I was traveling,

180
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: and so I put my remaining earring in the little

181
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 3: pocket inside of my suitcase. Yeah, I was devastated. When

182
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: I got home and unpacked and I opened up to

183
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: pull out the one earring, both earrings were there. Wow,

184
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: that was incredible. Have you ever received a little gift

185
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 3: from a loved one? I'd love to know. Anyways, let's

186

Speaker 4: long Shades of the Afterlife with Sandra Champlain.

212
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain.

213
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 3: So today is the day that my dad passed thirteen

214
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 3: years ago, and I just feel like I want to

215
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: honor him with some great things we did there towards

216
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: the end, because I think they might make a difference.

217
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: First of all, Dad passed from the cancer and it

218
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: was a very difficult, very painful one. But a little

219
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: game that we had is every doctor, every nurse, everyone

220
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: that came into his hospice or hospital room, he wanted

221
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: to make them feel happier leaving the room than when

222
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 3: they walked in the room. So he would engage them

223
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 3: in conversations, talk about their family, their kids, what they

224
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: liked to do. And it was a secret little game

225
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: we played. But they felt better and guess what, we

226
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: felt better too. My dad was a fitness nut and

227
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: he bicycled across the United States three times raising money

228
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: for charity, and once rode across the whole country of

229
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 3: New Zealand. Pretty remarkable guy. He had me record my

230
00:15:55,800 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: voice asking him to remember the journey. So he had

231
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 3: told me some of the places he went to so

232
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: in this guided visual imagery session, I guess you can

233
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 3: call it that. I had him recall the places, the faces,

234
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 3: the clouds, the weather, the wind on his face, the sunshine,

235
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: and then instinctively had him remember memories of when us

236
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 3: kids were born, his grandchildren's laughter, times we would go

237
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: deep sea fishing, and what it was like to get

238
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: a marlin on the hook. He said, listening to that

239
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 3: recording made him feel better. The pain wasn't as intense.

240
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: I brought my computer with me every time we were together,

241
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: and I had two sets of headphones. We would watch

242
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: funny movies, airplane or Carol Burnett videos, and the more

243
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 3: he laughed and giggled, that too, helped the pain. If

244
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: you follow the world of doctor massaru Emoto, he was

245
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: the one who did the messages in water, where he

246
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: would take, say, distilled water, and freeze little droplets of

247
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: it and watch to see what forms would appear. In

248
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 3: distilled water. There were no forms in water from some

249
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: of the most pristine places on Earth. Beautiful snowflakes would form.

250
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 3: In water that wasn't from a very healthy source, negative

251
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: ugly patterns would form. He had the idea to tape

252
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 3: messages on water bottles, and what resulted was that positive

253
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 3: words resulted in these snowflake like images, and negative words

254
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 3: resulted in these really abnormal formations. He did the same

255
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: thing with music. Took distilled water which had no formations,

256
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: put beautiful music beautiful crystals, put some music with really

257
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: rough lyrics, and the bad formations appeared. He also found

258
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 3: that he could change water. So if he took water

259
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 3: from an unnatural source that normally would form these abnormal patterns,

260
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: and he subjected them to beautiful music, beautiful words. Guess

261
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: what happened. Snowflakes would form, and that was a loud

262
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: bird you just heard in the background. He had people

263
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 3: all over Japan be part of this experiment. He had

264
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: them boil one pot of rice and divide it into

265
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: two glass jars. In one room, the rice was loved,

266
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: nice music, happy thoughts, happy words, and in the other room,

267
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 3: the other rice was scolded. Negative things were said to

268
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 3: the rice. If someone was having a bad day, go

269
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: sit in that room with the rice. Here's what's astonishing.

270
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 3: At the end of the month, people put both jars together,

271
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: and all across Japan people had two jars of rice,

272
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 3: one black and one this nutty golden color. One smelled

273
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 3: nutty and a little bit sweet, and the black rice

274
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: was foul. So you know which rice came out of

275
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 3: which room? Right. I took a picture from the Internet

276
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 3: of the two jars of rice, and I kept that

277
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 3: up in Dad's hospital room. I felt fear, he felt fear,

278
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 3: but we kept the positivity going whether you were ill

279
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: or healthy. It is so important to know the power

280
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 3: of our words, the power of our thoughts, what we

281
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 3: listened to. I don't have any children, and I sometimes

282
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: when I'm an old lady, am I going to be

283
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 3: in a nursing homer What's going to happen to me?

284
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 3: I have one of those three D headsets called an oculus,

285
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: and I can see things in three dimensions like nature.

286
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: I can travel the world. So my request is going

287
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: to be great music and keeping that three D headset.

288
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 3: So even if I am an old lady in a

289
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 3: nursing homeroom, I'll be traveling around the world, and you're

290
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: more than welcome to come visit me. Next, I want

291
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: to play just a short audio of a nurse named

292
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: Julie who works for hospice. We often hear of hospice

293
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 3: nurses and doctors witnessing people as they pass and they're

294
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: able to see beyond the veil. This is a little

295
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: different and I hadn't thought about this too much. Is

296
00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 3: actually hearing the voice of someone as they pass. So

297
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 3: let's listen.

298
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 6: Because of this story, I believe in an afterlife. The

299
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 6: story is about my favorite patient of all time. Yes

300
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 6: I do have a favorite, but once you hear the story,

301
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 6: you'll understand why. My relationship with this patient gave me

302
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 6: a believe in an afterlife and decreased my fear around dying,

303
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 6: and hopefully I'll do the same for you. This man

304
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 6: came on to hospice in his mid fifties. By the

305
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 6: time we met him, he was really isolated. He was

306
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 6: a hoarder, He did not have many friends or family,

307
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 6: and he was really at the end of his robe.

308
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 6: I think because he was so desperate, he was willing

309
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 6: to change and willing to get help from us, the

310
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 6: hospice team. So we really really helped this man. We

311
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 6: cleaned out his house so it was livable. We invited

312
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 6: a couple of long distance cousins who could come in

313
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 6: and visit him and kind of helped him get his

314
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 6: life together so he could live out the rest of

315
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 6: his life. After they left, it was mostly him in

316
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 6: the hospice team. I would make visits. He ended up

317
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 6: living longer than we expected and very very well. So

318
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 6: him and I had long conversations about the meaning of life,

319
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 6: what he thought, what he thought was going to happen

320
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 6: after he died, if he was afraid, just many philosophical

321
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 6: and existential conversations. It was amazing. He probably lived for

322
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 6: about nine months, and at the end of the nine months,

323
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 6: when he was getting close to death, he had a

324
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 6: continuous care nurse in his home, meaning a nurse twenty

325
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 6: four to seven. I was the RN case manager, so

326
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 6: I would make short visits daily. The last day I

327
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 6: saw him, I knew he would die that day. He

328
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 6: was actively dying. He was unconscious, he was not aware

329
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 6: of what was going on. So I said my goodbyes

330
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 6: to him quietly in my head in his bedroom, and

331
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 6: just thanked him for the wonderful relationship that we had.

332
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 6: I went to my car and I wasn't really sad.

333
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 6: I was happy for him. I felt like we did him,

334
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 6: We did a great job with him. I knew he

335
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 6: was comfortable and I felt happy for that. I was

336
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 6: in my car saying my final goodbye in my head

337
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 6: to him, when suddenly I heard his voice. I heard

338
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 6: his voice in my head, and I got this wave

339
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 6: of joy and freedom and kind of like flying. And

340
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 6: I heard his voice. He said, Oh my gosh, Julie,

341
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, if I would have known, if I

342
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 6: only would have known. He was kind of like exclaiming

343
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 6: it in my head. And that's like it was like

344
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 6: he was excited if I only would have known, if

345
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 6: I only would have known. And he didn't really say much,

346
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 6: he just kept he kept giving me the feeling of

347
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 6: like if I only would have known, how good it is,

348
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 6: if I only would have known how good it is.

349
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,719
Speaker 6: And like I said, in his life, he had a

350
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 6: lot of struggles, and the feeling I got in this

351
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 6: moment was that those were gone, those were gone, and

352
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 6: he was just completely completely free. It makes me want

353
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 6: to cry right now because I could feel his freedom

354
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 6: and I could feel his joy. He kept saying, oh

355
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 6: my gosh, Julie, if I only would have known, if

356
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 6: I only would have known, and you could feel his joy.

357
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 6: I was weeping, weeping in my car, and then all

358
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,479
Speaker 6: of a sudden it stopped, and I got a text

359
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 6: from the nurse inside who said, so and so just died.

360
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 3: Doctor Raymond Moody, who coined the phrase near death experience,

361
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 3: and William Peters, who founded Shared Crossing dot com, who

362
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 3: we interviewed back in episode twenty three, would call this

363
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: a shared crossing when you witness in some way the

364
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 3: passing of another person, so hearing their voice definitely counts.

365
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: I found some stories that people had written, and I

366
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 3: just want to read to you and see if any

367
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 3: of these sound familiar to you. Have you ever heard

368
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 3: a loved one's voice in your head? This man writes,

369
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: I was my wife's caregiver for several years after her

370
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 3: health slowly spiraled down. I went through severe depression. Being

371
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 3: a caregiver is the hardest thing I have ever done.

372
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: I felt truly responsible for my wife's life and well being.

373
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: Crying is something I don't easily do. One evening, while alone,

374
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 3: I teared up and began to cry. My mother, who

375
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: had passed three years earlier, spoke to me in her

376
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 3: typical stoic way and said, you just do the best

377
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 3: you can for her, keep moving forward and don't look back.

378
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 3: Then a few minutes later, my father, who had passed

379
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 3: six years earlier, spoke and told me, son, you're doing

380
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: the right thing. I have no doubts about the afterlife,

381
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: this woman says. In twenty fourteen, my mom died from

382
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 3: breast cancer. I was with her every minute until she

383
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: passed at home. A couple of months ago, I was

384
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 3: driving close to a really dangerous intersection near my home.

385
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 3: I hate this intersection. It's an on slash exit ramp

386
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: for I seventy five in Florida. I was driving the

387
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: speed limit, headed towards the overpass ramp, and I heard

388
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: my mom's voice say, as plain as day, Mandy stop.

389
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: I started breaking in a Tesla shot off I seventy five,

390
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 3: seemingly out of control and into my lane. Had I

391
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 3: not started to break, it would have hit me and

392
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 3: my daughter's at a very high speed. So I'm a

393
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: believer after that, and I know my mom is with me.

394
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 3: I've never heard my dad's voice after he passed, but

395
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 3: at his funeral, when I was pretty sad, I looked

396
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: to the end of the pew I was sitting in,

397
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 3: and in the aisle I saw my dad, clear as

398
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 3: can be, with a sudon looking young looking healthy, and

399
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 3: it comforted me and I knew that he was still alive.

400
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 3: Let's go to the break and we'll be back. You're

Speaker 1: and now here's more Shades of the Afterlife.

425
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sandra Champlain.

426
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 3: Do you remember in our last episode I was talking

427
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 3: about the gamma waves, the brain state, all the new

428
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: science that has come out about our consciousness. A team

429
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 3: of doctors has realized that just before we pass away,

430
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: and just after we pass away, our brain goes into

431
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: a different brain state, one that can be compared two

432
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: gurus who have reached enlightenment after sitting for thousands of

433
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: hours in meditation. Go that connection with all of it interesting,

434
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 3: that is the state of mind with near death experiences.

435
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: But what makes this so incredible is that even if

436
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: a person dies not being in that brain state, they

437
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 3: are showing on an EEG machine that they move into

438
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: that brain state. So this ties in with a new

439
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: announcement that is coming from the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

440
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: They have a contest going on for the person who

441
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 3: can prove that our consciousness survives physical death. They had

442
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 3: one hundred and eight people apply and they are now

443
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 3: down to ten finalists and they will be judged by

444
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: senior scientists and we should have the winner on June

445
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: twenty five of twenty twenty three. The Institute of Noetic

446
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: Science is a nonprofit research center. It was created in

447
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: nineteen seventy three by Apollo fourteen astronaut and sixth man

448
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 3: to walk on the Moon, Edgar Mitchell. Their website is

449
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 3: noetic dot org. I'd like to continue with more words

450
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 3: from hospice nurse Julie. I think you'd find her YouTube

451
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: channel very interesting, simply hospice Nurse Julie. She has over

452
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: two hundred and forty five thousand subscribers. She has many

453
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 3: experiences of people passing away and just before they do,

454
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 3: interesting things happen. So let's listen.

455
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, hospit ennerse Julie here, I'm back for another

456
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 6: eight to ten minutes where I'm going to talk about

457
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 6: the end of life phenomena that most people who work

458
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 6: in end of life care. See, I'm just going to

459
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 6: give you the talk. Ones that we all kind of see.

460
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 6: We don't know why they happen, but they do. So

461
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 6: the biggest one we see is visioning. Visioning happens usually

462
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 6: a few weeks to a month before someone dies. It's

463
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 6: usually in someone who is very alert and oriented. They're

464
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 6: not confused yet, they're not having hallucinations, they're not agitated.

465
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 6: They will just suddenly start seeing their dead relatives, loved ones,

466
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,239
Speaker 6: usually mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, and uncle, a child who

467
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 6: had died, a pet who had died, and they will

468
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 6: start saying how these people are visiting them, saying they're

469
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 6: coming to get them soon. That's how it usually manifests.

470
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 6: Every once in a while, it happens right before someone dies,

471
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 6: and it does happen in people who are confused, who

472
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 6: have dementia. I will always say visioning is something that's

473
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 6: clear and something that's non agitating. So people like people

474
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 6: who have dementia can sometimes have hallucinations that are agitating

475
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 6: to them. They think they see a man in the corner.

476
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 6: They're scared, they're paranoid. That's not visioning. Visioning is always

477
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,520
Speaker 6: something that is clear and comforting. We don't know why

478
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 6: it happens, but it happens so often that we educate

479
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 6: people about it, and as hospice providers, we usually use

480
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 6: that as an indicator, Like if someone I'm seeing is

481
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 6: very alert and oriented and then suddenly they're telling me

482
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 6: that they're seeing their dead relatives every once in a while,

483
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 6: that tells me they have probably about a month to live.

484
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 6: It's like a clear indicator. So that's one of the funomenaus.

485
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 6: The other one is called the rally or terminal lucidity

486
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 6: is the real name the rally. The surge is the nickname.

487
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 6: I've seen it in my own grandmother. It happens in

488
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 6: about one third of all of our patients, so one

489
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 6: in every three, and that's when they are very they're

490
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 6: getting very close to the end. They're not quite actively dying,

491
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 6: but they're like in that transitional phase and they suddenly

492
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 6: get a burst of energy. They feel better, they're talking,

493
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 6: they're having the best day they've had in a long time.

494
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 6: That's what you hear a lot. You hear that a lot.

495
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 6: Maybe they're even walking, talking, being joking, getting their little

496
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 6: sass back. My grandma got her sass back and was

497
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 6: like this food's not hot enough and then they suddenly

498
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 6: die right after. So the indication of the rally is

499
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 6: that it's like they're doing bad ooh really good, really

500
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 6: good day or so, no longer than a day or so,

501
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 6: and then down they die or they die within a

502
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 6: few days after that. So that's the indication of that

503
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 6: was the rally, and we like to educate about it

504
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 6: before it happens, so people can really relish in that

505
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 6: moment because it's usually only for a day or so. Now,

506
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 6: if someone gets better and is like that for weeks,

507
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 6: not the rally, that's not the rally. The rally is

508
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 6: very quick. We don't know why it happens, but it

509
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 6: happens a lot, so we educate so again people can

510
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 6: kind of relish that moment. The death stare or the

511
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 6: death reach. I put them together, even though they're two

512
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,239
Speaker 6: separate things. Some people can have the death stare and

513
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 6: the death reach together. Sometimes you just see the death reach.

514
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 6: Sometimes you just see the death stare. And that is

515
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 6: when someone is this sounds like what it is. They're

516
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 6: staring up at the corner for hours at a time,

517
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 6: not moving their gaze, even if you're like hello, they

518
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 6: don't move their gaze. They're staring, and then sometimes they'll

519
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 6: add the reach in with the stare, like they're reaching

520
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 6: for someone or something, or even for a hug. Sometimes

521
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,240
Speaker 6: you'll see the stair and the reach and the smile

522
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 6: like they're seeing someone and they're hugging and embracing. It's

523
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 6: wild and I see it all the time, and people

524
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 6: see it all the time. We don't know why. Sometimes

525
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 6: people can tell us. Sometimes we'll say what are you

526
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 6: looking at up there? And they'll say angels, or they'll

527
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 6: say my dad, or they'll say my mom's here, and

528
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 6: they'll go to hugger. So it just depends on the people. Again,

529
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 6: don't deny it. As long as it's not that my

530
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 6: whole thing is like, as long as it's not causing

531
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 6: them any pain or they're not hurting anybody out or themselves,

532
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 6: it's okay. Sometimes people at the end of life can

533
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 6: do some of this stuff where they're picking at things

534
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 6: and doing stuff with their hands that's not this. This

535
00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 6: is it's very distinct. It's very much like, you know,

536
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 6: a distinct reach or reach up to the corner that

537
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 6: they're staring at. The other one is choosing when you're

538
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 6: going to die. I have seen this in wild forms,

539
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 6: like people being like I'm dying today and you're like, what, No,

540
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 6: you're not. You're not actively dying. As a hospital nurse,

541
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 6: so you can kind of tell when someone's getting close

542
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 6: and they're in the active stages or transitioning. I had

543
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 6: a patient literally decide they were going to die and

544
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 6: then they died that night, and there was no form

545
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 6: of like overdosing or anything crazy like that. They literally

546
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 6: just chose to do it and they did it. It

547
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 6: was wild. I have some videos about that. I'm sure

548
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 6: you guys may have seen them. People will wait until

549
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 6: everyone gets to the room, to the home, into the city,

550
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 6: into the state, something like that, and then they'll die.

551
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 6: People will choose to wait until everyone leaves, so they

552
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 6: die alone. Some families get really upset about that. They'll

553
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 6: be like, we were holding vigil, we were all at

554
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 6: the bedside, we were saying all our I love you,

555
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 6: and the loved one kept hanging on. They didn't die,

556
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 6: and then, slowly but surely, one person would be like, Okay,

557
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 6: well I'm going to go home and shower. Okay, well

558
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go get a coffee. Okay, well, I'm gonna go,

559
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 6: and then slowly but surely, then everyone's gone for a

560
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 6: moment or two, and then the person dies. This is

561
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 6: like a thing usually we see like people who are

562
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 6: private like to die alone. People who are really social

563
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 6: are super into family, are really yeah, like into like

564
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 6: a social gathering. We'll wait till everyone gets there. I've

565
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 6: seen someone who was actively dying, which means fully unconscious

566
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 6: changes and breathing, changes in skin color, looks like they're

567
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 6: going to die any day, lasts like that for two weeks,

568
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 6: waiting for someone to get there because they had a huge,

569
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 6: large family and they were waiting for all these people

570
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 6: to fly in. So it was pretty It was pretty wild.

571
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,919
Speaker 6: The woman who decided when she was going to die,

572
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 6: I wasn't there for that, but I did sign her

573
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 6: up for hospice and she barely made it on meaning

574
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 6: like she was very borderline appropriate. So she wasn't looking

575
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 6: like she was to die anytime soon. And I got

576
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 6: called in for a death visit about a week later,

577
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 6: and I was really surprised because it was her, and

578
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 6: I went to go visit and the caregiver told me

579
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 6: that that night she was basically saying her goodbye to

580
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 6: the caregiver and to the sun and saying like thank

581
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 6: you for taking care of me. Promise me you'll take

582
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 6: care of my son, because her son was older but

583
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 6: had some mental the disabilities. And the caregiver was like,

584
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 6: what are you talking about. I'll see you in the morning, Like,

585
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 6: don't talk like this, what are you talking about. And

586
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 6: she was like, no, I'm tired, I'm going home. And

587
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 6: she said I'm going home. So the caregiver was like, okay,

588
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 6: well you're already home, but okay, well good night, I'll

589
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 6: see you in the morning. And she was gone the

590
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 6: next morning. She had died. So some people just know,

591
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 6: some people just know, they can feel it. And then

592
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 6: last but not least, I like to talk about animals,

593
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 6: so our animals, our pets, can really know what's going on.

594
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 6: I've seen many animals act differently, act strangely, take on

595
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 6: the symptoms of their owners who are dying. They'll be

596
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 6: a super protective of their owners. They won't leave the

597
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 6: underneath the bed. They'll stay underneath the owner's bed while

598
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 6: they're dying. They'll stay in the bed with the owner

599
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 6: while they're dying. They won't eat and drink like their

600
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 6: owner until the owner's gone. So animals are very intuitive

601
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 6: and and know what's happening. Of course, not every pets

602
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 6: like this, but I've seen many pets like this. But

603
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 6: it's very fascinating to think about. And I also have

604
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 6: talked of many veterinarians who say that pets often have

605
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 6: different phenomena that happens during their death and dying process.

606
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 6: That's a lot like humans. So very curious. Let me

607
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 6: know in the comments what you think. Okay, love you guys. Bye.

608
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: You can also visit hospice nurse Julie dot com. She

609
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: really believes in educating people about the dying process. My

610
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 3: dad spent a little time in hospice when they were

611
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 3: trying to sort out his pain medication. He had a

612
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 3: tumor that broke apart his spine and they had inserted

613
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 3: a pain pump within him, so he spent some time

614
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 3: in hospice and I got to see what loving people

615
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 3: hospice workers are. Unfortunately, my dad passed in a hospital

616
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: and although the staff was really nice, they had certain

617
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: regulations as far as how much pain medicine can be administered,

618
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 3: so unfortunately my dad died a painful death. They couldn't

619
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 3: turn up the pain medication fast enough due to worries

620
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 3: about malpractice suits, etc. I now know that the soul

621
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 3: leaves the body before physical death, so I trust that

622
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 3: that is true and my dad didn't suffer. I encourage

623
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 3: you to find out more about hospice. That's the way

624
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 3: I want to go, preferably at home, with hospice workers

625
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 3: coming here so I can still look at my birds

626
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: and the garden from the wa But you may wish

627
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: to volunteer. There's plenty of opportunities to sit with patients,

628
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 3: and I know personally some listeners who volunteer and it

629
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 3: has changed their thoughts and have them really believe that

630
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 3: life after death is true. How many stories do you

631
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 3: need to hear or witness people reaching up for their

632
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 3: loved ones and calling their name before you realize people

633
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 3: really are there to greet us. So let's go for

634
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 3: the break and we'll be back. You're listening to Shades

00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,800
Speaker 3: Welcome back to Shades of the Afterlife. I'm Sander Champlain

654
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 3: and this whole episode I want to dedicate to not

655
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 3: only my dad but also my mom. Without her, who

656
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: I love dearly and I get to spend time with

657
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: full time these days, this episode wouldn't be possible. You

658
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: can't see me behind the scenes. You get to hear

659
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 3: this episode smoothly, like it was all put together. But

660
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 3: I have to tell you I procrastinated an awful lot

661
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 3: before pressing the record button for this final segment. I

662
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: want to talk about my dad a little bit about

663
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 3: his journey and how I know that he is still

664
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: alive today. But why I procrastinated is because I am

665
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 3: an emotional being as you are, and sometimes talking about

666
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 3: our loved ones is we have that fear like a

667
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 3: Pandora's box if we owe, but we don't know what's

668
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: going to come out. We are emotional creatures, and you know,

669
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 3: I don't mind if I cry on this show. I

670
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 3: don't I'm human. But for myself, there is so much

671
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 3: involved with the time around his death, not only losing Dad,

672
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 3: but losing communication with my siblings, most of which has

673
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 3: not yet been resolved, and it may wait till the

674
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 3: next world before it is. Some wise person told me

675
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 3: that relationships can be like circles, that they come apart

676
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 3: in the bottom and sometime they do reunite. Is it

677
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 3: this world is it the next? I don't know, but

678
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 3: I do feel that Dad left this earth exactly the

679
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 3: way he did, and even the part my siblings played

680
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 3: in it, the fights that we had, et cetera. Without

681
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 3: things going exactly the way they did, I would have

682
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 3: never gone on the journey to discover why people become

683
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 3: so crazy around grief, how our brain changed when we're

684
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 3: grieving all the emotions that are involved. I would have

685
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 3: never continued delving into evidence of the afterlife, and certainly

686
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be here with you today. So Dad, siblings, Mom,

687
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 3: I love you all. My dad was born on his

688
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 3: mom's eighteenth birthday. Could you imagine that? Oh, babies were

689
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 3: born young those days. He got his pilot's license when

690
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,760
Speaker 3: he was sixteen, went off to being in the Air Force,

691
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 3: and ended up being a pilot for American Airlines. I

692
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 3: was Dad's little girl. Although I have a brother and

693
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 3: sister a year older than me and a younger sister

694
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 3: five years younger. I was the one that got on

695
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: the best with my dad. He taught me to fly,

696
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 3: and yes I have soloed airplanes. I'm not currently a pilot,

697
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,439
Speaker 3: but I do know how to do it in case

698
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 3: of an emergency. When I went off to college and

699
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: then started working in the restaurant business, Dad and I

700
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 3: we didn't lose touch, but that relationship certainly wasn't strong.

701
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: He and my mom had gotten divorced when I was

702
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: a teenager, and he went on to having a couple

703
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 3: other relationships with nice ladies, but our relationship was rather estranged.

704
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 3: I would see him once a year. He lived in

705
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: Daytona Beach, Florida, and I was a chef working with

706
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 3: race card teams, so every time we went to Daytona,

707
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 3: I got to see Dad. In January of twenty ten,

708
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 3: not only did I get to see Dad, but he

709
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: was admitted into the hospital. We found out this tumor

710
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: was really wreaking havoc in his body. At that point,

711
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: they gave him last rites, but he went on to

712
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 3: living another five months before his passing. I was really

713
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,479
Speaker 3: deep into learning about the afterlife, but Dad was also

714
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 3: very deep in Catholicism. He and his girlfriend went to

715
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 3: church every single day. And I got to spend so

716
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 3: much time with my dad because my siblings were all

717
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 3: married and I was the single girl, and I had

718
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 3: good time off between my racing events, so I could

719
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 3: spend time with Dad, which was so precious. The day

720
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 3: came that I really felt like I needed to share

721
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 3: with him everything I knew about the afterlife. Again, I

722
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 3: was afraid because he was so religious, but I asked

723
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 3: if it was okay to share, and he said yes,

724
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: and with his big brown eyes, he just looked at

725
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 3: me as I was telling him story after story after story.

726
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 3: But in my mind's eye, I saw a yellow Piper

727
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 3: cub airplane with black lettering, I felt, and I heard

728
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 3: a man laughing with the message, John, I got to

729
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 3: take my toys with me. I felt like I should

730
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 3: tell my dad about that, and his eyes filled up

731
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 3: with tears. He asked me to repeat myself. I felt

732
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,360
Speaker 3: like this man was saying that he was wrong that

733
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 3: he did get to take his toys with him. My

734
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 3: dad had survived cancer from thirty years prior, and he

735
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 3: went on to helping many cancer and AIDS patients really

736
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 3: try to embrace life fully while we're here. He had

737
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 3: a friend named Jim who owned a yellow airplane with

738
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 3: black letters who had cancer, and Dad was trying to

739
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 3: help him fight it, like you can beat this, and

740
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 3: he said, Jim, you don't get to take your toys

741
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,680
Speaker 3: with you when you die. And so for Jim to

742
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 3: be coming through saying John, I did get to take

743
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 3: my toys with me. At that point, my dad wanted

744
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 3: to hear everything. After I shared with him, it felt

745
00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 3: like our bond got even closer. He made me promise

746
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,959
Speaker 3: that I'd write a book about everything. I knew about

747
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 3: the afterlife, I didn't know how I would do it,

748
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 3: but yes, indeed I have his actual death. I won't

749
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 3: go into now, too long a story and too much

750
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 3: to relive, honestly. But after he passed, not only did

751
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 3: I see him as I told you earlier, standing in

752
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: the church at his funeral, but I met a lot

753
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 3: of people in my journey as I started my first podcast,

754
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 3: which is called We Don't Die Radio, and so many

755
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 3: people said, is your dad in the afterlife? And I said, yes,

756
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:33,279
Speaker 3: was his name John, Yes, see a pilot, Yes, And

757
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,479
Speaker 3: they would give me a message from him. I've also

758
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 3: had times where before I go to sleep at night,

759
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: I'd say, Dad, are you with me? And I would

760
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 3: get a slide show of our memories that flashed before

761
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 3: my mind's eye really quite quickly, and things that I

762
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 3: have long forgotten. To me, that's a sign from Dad,

763
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 3: because there's no way my mind could have come up

764
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 3: with those things that quickly. Of course, Sonia Andaldi down

765
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: in Brazil, who gets these pictures and voices of people

766
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 3: in the afterlife. I had sent a message to Dad

767
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 3: in the hereafter and said, hey, I noticed lady in Brazil,

768
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 3: who's doing all these experiments, if you can figure out

769
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 3: how this works, if you can put your face on

770
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 3: one of her photos. From time to time, Sonia sends

771
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 3: me some pictures of people that are unknown to her,

772
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 3: and lo and behold. In her experiment was a picture

773
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 3: of my dad. Now not only a picture, but she

774
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 3: sent me the video of the static energy that transformed

775
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: itself into maybe a two second viewing of my dad

776
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 3: and also another gentleman who my aunt says was her uncle,

777
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 3: and then the picture disappeared. It is a picture that

778
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 3: looks very close to what he looked like in the

779
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 3: Air Force, but we do not have this exact place picture,

780
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 3: So it's a wonderful thing knowing that he's around. I

781
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 3: also remember the wonderful reading I had with Reverend Rita Berkowitz,

782
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 3: who wrote the book The Idiot's Guide to Communicating with Spirits.

783
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 3: She is a retired spirit artist. So not only did

784
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,959
Speaker 3: she draw a picture of my father, but she told

785
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 3: me some beautiful messages, and just to confirm it was

786
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 3: really him, she told me some of the most specific

787
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 3: things that no one else could know. Do I talk

788
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 3: to my dad as much as I tell other people

789
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 3: they should talk to their loved ones no, and I

790
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 3: think that's okay. I do a lot of meditations, and

791
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 3: there's sometimes when I'm just about to go into that

792
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 3: daydream type state that all of a sudden, there is

793
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 3: Dad loud and clear in my brain, and I just

794
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 3: feel his presence. And sometimes when I'm waking up in

795
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 3: the morning or coming out of the meditation, there he is. Personally.

796
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 3: I think Dad is right by my side, helping me,

797
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 3: help you and others to believe that relationship that became

798
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 3: estranged during my adult life. I feel we are closer

799
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 3: than ever. Right now. I want to read to you

800
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 3: the last birthday card my dad ever gave me, and

801
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 3: it's good advice to all. It's how to make a

802
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 3: beautiful life. Reflections for a daughter on her birthday. Love yourself,

803
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 3: make peace with who you are and where you are

804
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: at this moment in time. Listen to your heart if

805
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,760
Speaker 3: you can't hear what it's saying in this noisy world,

806
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:50,879
Speaker 3: make time for yourself, enjoy your own company, Let your

807
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 3: mind wander among the stars. Try take chances, make mistakes.

808
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 3: Life can be messy and confusing at times, but it's

809
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:07,280
Speaker 3: also full of surprises. The next rock in your path

810
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:12,320
Speaker 3: might be a stepping stone. Be happy when you don't

811
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 3: have what you want, want what you have, make do.

812
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,879
Speaker 3: That's a well kept secret of contentment. There aren't any

813
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 3: shortcuts to tomorrow. You have to make your own way.

814
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 3: To know where you're going is only part of it.

815
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 3: You need to know where you've been too, And if

816
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,799
Speaker 3: you ever get lost, don't worry. The people who love

817
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 3: you will find you. Count on it. Life isn't days

818
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 3: and years. It's what you do with time and all,

819
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 3: with the goodness and grace that's inside you, make a

820
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 3: beautiful life, the kind of life you deserve. And he wrote,

821
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 3: I love you so dearly. Words cannot express my love

822
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 3: for you. Love pop Aw, Thanks Dad. I did put

823
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 3: a website together after my dad passed, just as a tribute,

824
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 3: and it helped me channel my grief into something. You

825
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 3: can still see that at John Champlaine dot com. I'm

826
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 3: so grateful I still have my mom with me. Does

827
00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 3: she believe in life after death? Not so much. However,

828
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 3: she's gone from not believing to being open to hearing

829
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 3: my stories and we've had some of those psychic cool

830
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 3: moments together. So remember, don't push this on anyone. People

831
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,720
Speaker 3: will come about their own beliefs in their own time.

832
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 3: In closing, I want to remind you that our home
