The Ties That Bind

Connections

Sometimes I can hardly believe the things that happen myself…

It becomes more and more clear all the time that we are still so very connected after death, not only to our family members and close friends, we never know the impact we have had even on someone who was an acquaintance in our younger days.

A few months ago, I was sitting in a meditative state when I clearly saw the face of an older woman before me, although I had not seen this woman in over 45 years, I quickly recognized her as Molly, an acquaintance of my Mom’s and the mother of a girl who was a classmate of mine from kindergarten through high school.

Molly told me some things about herself and her life that I was not aware of, then mentioned that her daughter, Deb, was with her as well.

I was surprised as that would mean that Deb had died pretty young. I asked to speak with Deb and she stepped forward right away, she showed me and let me feel that she was depressed throughout her adult years, had never really gotten it together emotionally, that she had lived in what seemed like a hoarder situation, and although she did not really want to discuss the end, I sensed that she had taken her life.

We were not friends and did not have friends in common, so it was not odd that I had not heard that Deb had passed, I was not sure who I could reach out to to confirm what had happened. After a month, Deb was still popping in, reminding me that she was around and it seemed that there was someone she wanted me to contact, almost every day it was like she was tapping me on the shoulder and I felt like I needed to do some detective work.

I managed to locate a relative who directed me to Deb’s first cousin, I left her a message and she called me immediately.

Deb’s cousin, Laurie, also sounded very depressed, “It runs in the family.”, she told me as she confirmed that Deb had taken her life after struggling for quite some time. Laurie told me Deb had been living in a trailer park and shared how much she missed her cousin.

I was able to offer some solace and it seemed Laurie found it comforting to know that her cousin had reached out to me and that I could confirm the continuity of life and personality on the other side.

This was astounding, even for me. I will not know until I cross over myself, but it makes me curious to think about how it came about that Deb and her mom decided to come into my meditation, after I’d been practicing as a medium for a number of years.

We played together sometimes as young kids, as our mothers did volunteer work together but the feeling I’m getting is we were part of the same Soul Family, even if we were not close in this lifetime.

There was recognition, even as a young child, that Deb was ‘different’ in some way that applied to me as well. I think we were both neurodivergent and in the 60’s and ‘70’s no one was talking about that. We were probably the top two “different” kids in that grade and that came with a bit of heartache.

I feel that this story will unfold a bit more, her cousin has said she’d like to speak to me again in future…I’ll keep you posted.
