Not my wife!
I came out of the viewing room and saw the Funeral Director. “That is NOT my wife”, I told her firmly.
“Sorry”, she replied, “but as her surviving spouse I have to ask you now to sign a certificate stating that, on the contrary, you formally agree that it IS your wife!”
I did eventually sign that document, just to get what seemed a particularly insensitive official formality out of the way, but I left the Parlour inspired with a profound new hope, a conviction that somehow her being still lives on and, importantly, a determination to understand better where my beloved wife now exists.
Finding answers to the questions “where is she now and what is she doing?” is not easy. Unfortunately our Western, materialistic, culture does not encourage open discussion of such things. Many people are not confident in stepping outside their comfort zone and do not want to think about the possibility of a future existence beyond death. Others, sceptical that anything can ever be satisfactorily proven, are perhaps fearful of what they might find and they close the subject to further debate.
But then certain things began to happen around me. Just little things, odd coincidences, yet beginning to fit into place like a jigsaw.
Weighing up these things and because I could not find any satisfactory answers elsewhere, I took (what for me) was the big step of asking a psychic what was going on. In my first reading she spoke of my wife, practically non-stop for nearly 2 hours, accurately answering several of my unspoken questions and describing in detail where my wife is and what her role is now. It was all highly illuminating.
That was some years ago now but my wife still takes an interest in what is going on, as revealed in many ways.
One example of how she is still taking an active interest in the here and now, relates to one of our objectives to subdivide our property into three parts, which time and again had been thwarted by the local Authority. The subject came up again during a reading and, through my psychic friend, my wife told me to look more closely at the agreement we had signed some 20 years before, because she had spotted a loophole. I did so and, in discussion with a planning consultant, we came to the conclusion that indeed there is a loophole in the current rules and subdivision really is feasible! This is obviously not a conclusion I would have come to by myself.
In conclusion, my sudden intuitive insight into the reality of life continuing after death has helped me to a greater understanding of our purpose here.
