Reader Question:We recently lost our mother rather unexpectedly and know she's okay. but still feel a deep sense of loss and confusion. Just need a little help. ~Tiaa

Response from Eileen: Dear Tiaa, The first thing your mom said to me very clearly was "I'm okay, I'm okay!" in a way to put you at ease that she really is okay and safe and sound. She tells me this was unexpected by everyone but that once the initial surprise was over, she adjusted to life on the other side quickly, with the help of her angels, family members, and companion animals that passed over before her.

Her biggest concern was leaving all of you behind, and she said she left so many things undone, even the small things like running the house, making sure everyone is taken care of and such. But her angels and guides helped her put aside the worry and concern and showed her a glimpse into the future, which showed all of you taking care of those things and you being okay and moving ahead with life. She keeps bringing up companion animals, and said that they would be a comfort to you and they also need you.

You will always miss your mom, but she says she can and will be around you and be a part of special events in your lives. She isn't "dead," it's just like she went into another room. Still with you, but you can't see her. She realizes this is not how you would like it to be and is sorry you have to experience the loss of her so early in your life. She says she truly sees that it is harder on those left behind. It feels so sad to lose them in body. She was instrumental in you being and doing what you are and know she will continue to support you, it will just be different.

She tells me there will come a time when you feel her love around you, after the deep grieving begins to heal. Deep grief can block us from feeling that our loved ones are still with us. So in time, as you heal, you will have these occurrences.

Bless you and your family,
Eileen
