My Mothers Passing
It was Monday morning on 7th of September 2015 and I was about to start a clients reading.
My earring which was securely in my ear suddenly fell out on the desk, I put it back in tightly and again a minute later it flew out again, like someone was pushing it out from behind.
I again put it back in my ear and again it was pushed out, I said out loud, "I know you want me to hear something" and I sat in silence trying to hear something, anything, but I got nothing. I was about to start the reading when my mobile rang, this lady said her name and proceeded to tell me she was sorry she hadn't got around to doing my reading. I was a bit confused, I thought she said she hadn't done 'my reading'. I said to her, "sorry do you mean I haven't done your reading?" and she said no, I am psychic i need to do a reading for you, which confused me even more as I do readings, I don't buy them. I asked her where she got my name and she said it was on her email with my name and phone number and that I needed a reading done. I don't know how she got my details but we talked extensively on the phone and then decided to do a reading for one another which worked out well and I met a lovely new lady.
I finally got around to doing my clients reading and then went to pick my son up from school, he wanted to go to the skate park, so I decided while he was there I would go for a walk along the beach. Shortly into my walk, I looked down to see a bright pink stick it note sitting there with the words 'READY TO GO' written in clear black texta. I took a photo of the stick it note and kept walking to see two sticks sitting in the shape of a cross. I was thinking these are all signs today and seem to be linked to someone who would be passing over. Then when I got home I had an email from a lady saying I was being offered a job to clean their church. Throughout the whole day there were many signs. Then on the Tuesday morning I was walking into a building and there was an owl sitting in the window staring at me. He was so still I thought it was one of those owls people use to scare off other birds, but as I opened the door, the Owl flew in a circle above my head constantly looking at my eyes and then he flew off. When i got home I looked up the spiritual meaning of the owl, which said "Owl spirit animals are symbolic of death in many traditions. In most cases however, it should not be taken literally: If the owl is associated with death, it can be viewed a symbolic death, meaning a transition in life, important changes that are taking place or about to happen".
Throughout the following few days there were little signs around me and on the Sunday of Fathers Day we were all sitting at my parents house celebrating and I was telling the story of my unusual week to my family, when I finished talking I looked across the table to my Mum (who had been very ill with Multiple Sclerosis for a long time) and we had this connection in our eyes, like we could see each other's thoughts and I felt from her she knew I was talking about her, meaning someone was about to pass over. Nothing was said, it was just a connection we had for a fleeting moment. I kept feeling like someone would pass but in a big way or unusual way because that is what my instinct was telling me.
My Mum had deteriorated over the past 12 months and she was very sick, she passed away peacefully at home cared for by my beautiful father. She passed at 11am on Monday 14th September, a week after the signs I was given. Earlier that morning, her dear carer Gwen had called in to help my Dad to get Mum comfortable. Gwen left to go and visit another patient of hers and only had her new car for about a week. She had come down a hill of a street at the end of my road and mistakenly put her foot on the accelerator instead of the brake and careered across a busy road and flipped her car onto the roof. The ambulance officers came and cut her out and put her in the ambulance, but unfortunately she passed away at 10am on Monday 14th September. This all happened just an hour before my mother passed over. They went together, as though they had a contract to keep, Gwen would meet my mother on the other side and continue to connect with her. They were not just patient and carer they were friends. Gwen would often say to me she held my mother high on a pedestal to have the power to keep living against all medical odds. It is comforting to know they are together but still very hard for their husbands who are left here to grieve the loss of these two beautiful women who were friends for years and passed within an hour of each other.
I can't stress enough to keep looking and noticing the signs that are around you every day. Sometimes they will be signs you may not want to be aware of but other times they will lead you in directions that are great change for you. Just yesterday I went for a walk and bumped into my Auntie as we walked along together we were talking about my Mum and I looked down and on the pathway was a small silver heart which I picked up and carried home. I know my Mum is around us and helping to give me signs :)
My beautiful Mum and Dad, so much love for each other. My Mum needed my Dad just as much as my Dad needed my Mum. Even though my Mum is no longer physically here, she is alive in all our hearts and memories and her soul will be eternally connected to my Dad and her family.
