hi i think your website is so sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just found out about you in this month's Daily Word & read your story. I went to your website & viewed a couple of your videos. I think you are so special & I'm so lucky to have come across you. I just had to forward your site to my partner & also to my daughter (who is a psychologist). All 3 of us are going through things & your reads are so helpful & enlightening. Thank you for coming into our lives, from so far away.

I recently lost my daughter to an advanced form of Lymphoma. She was 28 years old and had just delivered a son who is now 14 months old. When she was diagnosed, she was Stage IV and it attacked her heart. She nearly transitioned several times during the process of this illness only to pass 10 months after diagnosis. I was amazed with all the medical staff, that noone, other than myself, spoke to her of what it would be like if the choice was for her not to continue here in this life with us on Earth. There was no conversation of the two paths she was facing. Every word, every action was spoken of what path she would follow medically to sustain her life here. Every now and then, I would let her know that if it were to be that she would pass, she would be in a Love far beyond any words I could ever explain to her. The only analogy I could give her was that she knew the Love I had for her that Love was like 1 grain of sand compared to God's Love which is all the grains of sand in all Earth's beaches and Dunes. It was her choice to go forth with further treatments, but I wanted her to know that if she were to pass to promise me she would go to that beautiful Loving Light. She did promise me. God gave me an experience, actually a couple of experiences which prepared me for the event of assisting my daughter to transition. Those experiences were what I relied on so I could explain to her how I felt being in that Loving, Accepting, Trusting, ineffable Light. I wanted her to know and realize what she had waiting for her when she passed and I wanted her to run, not walk into that Light waiting for her. I think the most important thing we can do for someone facing the possibility of transition is to at least make an effort to communicate to them the Love which is awaiting their arrival. A Good Friend gifted me with a book and cd after my daughter's passing which I am highly recommending to anyone going through this process with someone they love or they themselves are experiencing. The book's title is "Graceful Passages". The cd has with and without the words. It is one of the most beautiful gifts I have ever been given and I feel all will benefit who listen or read.
