Not all that long before he died my husband said to me, “If anything happens to me go see a reader so I can get a message to you.” Now I have never been to a reader in my life and I stressed this fact to him. “When have you ever known me to do such a thing?” I asked him. My husband’s family are great believers in mediums, readers, or whatever title you wish to apply. I, on the other hand, was raised Catholic and with a strong view that one’s feet should be firmly planted on the ground. I am basically pragmatic when it comes to this stuff.
Several months after he died I saw an advertisement on social media. A reader, a.k.a. Medium, a.k.a. Spirit Talker, was coming to town. His name is Shawn Leonard and he has a t.v. show on APTN called Spirit Talker. It is a show I often watched with my hubby. While I am not a big believer in mediums I took it as a sign and bought tickets for myself and my daughter. I can be cynical about this stuff because it is so easy these days to learn a lot about a person just by visiting their social media pages. Despite all that I was hopeful that my husband would come through.
During the event the Spirit Talker (as they are known to indigenous people) would start talking about a person by name and would describe things that he was apparently being told about by the deceased person. Inevitably someone would stand up claiming that the person he was speaking of was their loved one and the reading would proceed.
If Randy was there he never came through.
Grief is a tricky monster, and I, like many going through this process, would be delighted to “hear” from my loved ones, especially my hubby. Sometimes I wonder about the people who do these things. Are they in it strictly for the money or do they genuinely want to help others? I’ve always felt that there are people who are very tuned in to the other side, but more so in a spiritual way than in the way of fortune tellers and the like.
Despite my skepticism I did leave with a profound sense of comfort and peace. I do believe the Creator speaks to us through others and through nature itself. I believe in the power of prayer. I have been strengthened again and again by the Divine One; the Creator; the higher power, by whatever name you choose to call it. I believe we do go on after we leave this earth. And, I believe our loved ones are fully healed on the other side, that they no longer suffer in any way. But we miss them terribly and in our vulnerability we seek signs that they are okay, that we’ll be okay, and we will.
If you are suffering through grief I pray you find solace, comfort and peace. I carry Randy with me in my heart. I know you carry your loved ones as well. Wherever you are on this planet and whatever your belief system, know you are never, ever alone. I wish you an abundance of blessings as you travel this painful road to healing.
