Sheila,
I worked on the crisis care team for Hospice of Dayton for two years -
working night shift taking care of people who were in their last days to weeks
of life - and working nights, I saw many people have visits with dead friends
and relatives. Watching someone have a visit is like watching someone have
an animated phone conversation. Generally, visits with humans only last
from about 1/2 an hour to a couple hours (one gentleman's lasted 3 1/2
hours). Many of my patients said that the family dog or cat was in the
room and had been with them 24/7 for a couple weeks - and the family dog or
cat that stayed with them had been gone for years. I suspect that
humans on the other side need a different level of energy to come through than
animals do, or that animals are better at coming through for us - either because
of their impatience to see us or to be seen by us again, or because their
love is purer and easier to focus at us.
What I've seen working for hospice backs up 100% the things that John
Edward talks about in TV appearances, lectures, and his books "One Last
Time" and "Crossing Over, The Stories Behind the Stories" and what Sylvia Brown
talks about in her books and appearances (she's on the Montel Williams show on
Wednesday's pretty often). Both John and Sylvia talk about animals being
on the other side, and in a reading on a gallery member in one of the early
episodes of "Crossing Over" one woman only had a Poodle, a St. Bernard, and a
donkey her family saved from the glue factory when she was a child come through
- no people came through for her that day at all. The reading stuck
with me because only animals came through for her - I figured if I ever get
read, it may take so long for him to wade through all the cats, dogs, rabbits,
squirrels, birds, and other critters I've worked with over the years that any
humans will get tired of waiting their turn and decide they'd just see me when I
get there. i've been to two of John's lectures, and he's legit. He
doesn't want anyone to tell him anything other than "yes" or "no" until he
gets the info from the other side out, then sometimes he'll ask for details to
fill in the blanks or to explain a funny story that was hinted at by the person
on the other side.
You will see Tip again - and anyone else you've opened your heart to in
your life - regardless of species. I'm certain of it.
