Connecting to Spirits


This may be hard for some people to understand or not.  When I was a young girl, I was always with my parents visiting our relatives or friends that were sick or on their deathbed.  I was never afraid to touch them and love on them.  When I started doing that, I felt a sense of spiritual connection with each person that I came in contact with.  

Often, I would sense that there would be something that they wanted me to do or say something to someone as if they wanted to do one last thing before they died.  I knew that they can feel my presence even though they were not awake or responding physically.

As I got older, I started sensing spiritual connections when I was not anywhere near them through my dreams or just out of the blue.  Then I would find out later through my parents or friends that it happened. I can sense things about my kids too, before they even contact me.

I really don't know if that means I am a psychic or not.  I don't see faces or actual pictures, just feelings through my heart, soul and senses.  Perhaps this is because I am hard of hearing. They say when one sense is low or gone another kicks in.   

A story I will share with you.  One day, the nursing home called me and said your grandmother is being taken to the hospital ER. So, I called my brothers to call my mom and told them I was going to the ER. I arrived there and sat with my grandmother waiting for the doctor to come in.  The doctor said she had a heart attack. They moved her into a hospital room
.
My grandmother was 96 years old and a VERY strong Southern Baptist Christian woman. As days went by she got weaker. Then she started talking to God.  She would say, Father, I am coming home to you and mumble bible verses.  Her breathing became shallow. I can feel her body temperature changing. Few more days passed.  I started to sense her spirit and soul connecting to me as if there was something she wanted done although she was not awake or responding physically.

One morning I went to work, a few hours later, my oldest brother called me from the hospital.  He told me that the doctor said it should be any time now. But, something kept nudging me as I felt that my grandma was not letting go just yet.  Then it hit me! I called my other brother, who has not been to visit her.  I told him to get to the hospital right away because grandma is holding on for you. He thought I was insane.  One hour after he saw grandma, she finally died in peace.

So, that's one of many experiences I have had.  I think it's a natural gift for me to have spiritual connections through my heart, soul and senses.
