These last couple of years have been tough with four deaths in less than a year plus some health problems among other things. My spiritual journey felt like it has been on hold, yet I realize that everything that happened is part of the journey.
Not everything was bad. Last year we joined a ghost club. One of the first things we did was go to a cemetery (of course) to see what people could pick up. I was drawn to the other side of the cemetery so I decided to walk over and see why. As I approached I sensed a little girl was there. When I got to the headstone and read it I was excited. The headstone is for a 9 year old girl. As I left I got the sense she didn't want me to leave and that she either couldn't come with me or felt she shouldn't. On our way out I had pictures taken with her. At first I didn't see anything in the pictures but then I saw her. In the picture we 'posed together in' you can see a face with a little girl face peering over the shoulder. Interestingly, in the photo where I'm asking her to come join me she appears remarkably like Casper the Friendly Ghost!!! She preyed on my mind so much that the next day I Googled her. I found her obituary which stated she died from an illness following measles. That explained how I picked up that she didn't think she could join us! While I feel very sad for her, I was excited as for the first time I had proof I actually sense spirits.
Through what I've gone through so far I've learned I really, really, really need to focus on taking care of myself. Unfortunately part of that is reducing my fun stuff with friends. I still plan on doing things but it will have to be greatly reduced. I have been exhausted. I cannot imagine what my mom is going through. We talked last night about getting tested for dementia and my stepdad possibly having Alzheimer's and she's scared. More about my stepdad (she claims). One thing I've vowed is that I will hide nothing from her.
Now to get the siblings to step forward and help...
