In November 2001, my nephew, Matt, died at the age of 14. He had been fighting brain cancer for almost a year before he let go. His parents -- my brother and sister-in-law -- were with him when he passed. Both have said that his final words were, "Okay Grandma, this time I'll come too. Wait for me."

My sister-in-law seems almost at peace with Matt's passing. Matt was a momma's boy in a good way. She misses her son but believes that her late mother came for him and that they'll all be together again. My brother is still angry about Matt's death and gets vocal about people putting their faith in a God he believes betrayed Matt. Since Matt's death, my sister-in-law has not had a single dream about Matt or her mother. My brother still dreams about him every night, but won't discuss the dreams further than that.

This time of year is terribly hard for all of us who loved Matt. I tend to associate bizarre occurrences with his presence such as the van radio changing to a station playing "In the Arms of the Angel" without anyone touching the controls.

First, do you believe my nephew's last words indicate his grandmother guided him to the light?

Second, why would my brother continuously dream of his son and my sister-in-law not have one dream of him in five years?



Hi Jenny,
It is so very hard to loose a child, but it looks like Grandma was right there for Matt. Children usually see a relative or someone they really cared about in the light waiting to help them to cross over.

It sounds like Matt was close to death another time, but it still was not his time, and Grandma had been watching over him for quite a while.

There will be a time everyone will meet again. Your sister-in-law is right. Maybe she is not remembering her dreams, or Matt is afraid she will be too upset if he comes to her in a dream. Her mother may feel the same way.

Your brother is angry. I will bet Matt is trying to explain that he is all right and your brother does not want to hear it. I am sure Matt will keep trying.

Yes, Matt could change the radio stations, make TV channels change, or turn lights off or on. He is just saying "Hi."

Hi, I am from Gulf Breeze, Florida. My ex-husband was recently killed in a car accident in Arizona (Nov. 6, 2006). We have a three-year-old son. My ex-husband and I didn't really get along and he hadn't seen our son in two years before he died. I didn't admit it until after his passing, but I still love him and I wonder if he and I could have worked things out. What if we had been able to work things out, would he still be here? What if we had put our son first and not our feelings? Does he come around? Has he seen our son? What are his feelings toward me now? I dream about him every night. I dream about all of our good times and the way I had hoped our lives would be. I can't get him off my mind. I guess most would say that I'm looking for closure. Can you help me with this? Is there anything I should be looking for or is it too soon?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.




Hi Merri,
It is so hard this time of year when there is a tragic accident. Merri, you are dreaming of your ex-husband, so he has gone into the light. But it is absolutely doing you no good thinking about "What if's" and "What could have been."

Trust your judgment. You divorced him and that part is over. He had not seen his son in two years. You did not get along. It sounds to me you made the right choice.

I am sure your ex-husband comes around and sees his son. A part of you will always love him. You had a child together. He is okay with his death, or he would not be coming to you in your dreams. Now you have to be okay with it.

There is nothing to look for. It is time to move forward.

Good luck.

Hi Mary Ann,
I lost two beloved pets two and half years ago and I still miss them terribly. Will I ever get to see them again? Were they greeted in the light by someone? What do you know about Jesus when we get to heaven? Will we really get to see him? Is he at the end of the light? Do we really get to be with our loved ones again? I can't bear the thought of going through this life, dying and never seeing my dogs again, or to be without my son, after I've passed.

Thank you!



Leah,
Yes, you will see your pets again. We all will. Our animals are so loyal to us, how could anyone doubt it!
Here is a wonderful poem that will give you some answers:

RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water, and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together

I do believe we will be with our loved ones again (including our pets) and of course it will be like heaven, with God.

This is called faith!

Mary Ann,
You have said before that even after someone passes into the light they never miss major events such as birthdays, holidays, etc… To what degree do they observe these happenings on the physical plane? In other words, would they "see" decorations or even a cluttered house? Would they see that a loved one has gained too much weight since their passing, or vice versa, seeing slimmer, beautiful bodies of their loved ones? Or do they mainly attend these events by connecting with our thoughts and not by what things look like "down here." Would they be saddened to look down at these events and see their spouse with another mate? Or would they simply not be aware of that new consciousness in the group? I understand that earthbound souls would see these things, but how deeply do the others penetrate into the scenes of physical life?




Hi Joyce,
When someone comes back to visit us from the light, they see everything exactly the way that it is. They are aware of what is going on and of changes to the family.

Do not worry. They are not judgmental once they have been to the light.

There are times in my life that dreams predict things but only those that involve my mother, who died when I was eight. It's almost her way of proving to me that she was here through my dreams. Is this possible?

I also believe that when I see a yellow butterfly, it's my mom saying "Hi" to me. It always happens when I think of her a lot. I had a psychic once tell me that my mother has passed over but she chooses to watch over me and let me know she's there all the time.

Susan



Hi Susan,
The psychic you saw was right. Most mothers when they die watch over their children no matter how old the child is.

This is a very special bond between your mom and you with the precognitive dreams.

The yellow butterfly is confirmation for you that she is around.

How wonderful for you.

Mary Ann,
My mother passed away Dec. 9, 2000, so this time of year is very hard for me. I miss her so much. My mother had Alzheimer's when she passed away and the first thing I thought of when she passed was that maybe now she remembers who I am. What do you think? I wish I could just see her once more and tell her how much I miss her, how much I love her and how sorry I am that I was such a rotten teenager. Please help.




Hi Suzanne,
When a person dies, the body is what is diseased, or that has Alzheimer's, but the spirit is whole and well.

So yes, your mother knows who you are now. I am sure you once being a rotten teenager is the farthest thing from her thoughts.

You can see and talk to her in dreams. The next time you dream of her just start talking to her. Anyone can have a conversation with someone that has crossed over in a dream.

Mary Ann
