New baby will bring you hope

Nov 18 2008 by Grace Walker, Paisley Daily Express

Dear Magenta

I LOST my mum and my aunt within a week of each other.

They were very close and did everything together.

They never once had an argument and were always best friends as well as sisters.

We all feel like we have lost two mums. My sister, my cousins and I are all devastated and my dad and my uncle are not coping well at all.

My dad has started drinking. He says it’s the only way he can cope and won’t listen to us or the doctor when we tell him that it’s not the answer.

My uncle, on the other hand, won’t go out of the house and has no interest in anything or anyone.

Both of them are heartbroken, as are we.

Nothing we try to do helps. Will this get better? It’s like a black cloud hanging over us.

Can you also tell me if my mum and my aunt are together and if they are happy and have a message for us?

I read your column every week and hope you can help us.

Thank you for reading our letter. I really hope you can get a message for us.

Janice, Julie, James and Shirley

Dear Janice and family

I AM given two names from spirit – Maggie and Joan.

Your mum and aunt are both happy and settled in spirit. They are with three women and two men and I am to tell you they are in a photograph of the four generations. I hope this makes sense to you.

Your mum tells me that Dad is very stubborn but a wee fright with the drink will pull him up sharply at the start of January and get him back on the straight and narrow.

Unfortunately, this has to happen and he will make the decision himself.

A new baby in September and one in November of next year will bring purpose back into the lives of your dad and uncle and the two babies will bring a lot of love and laughter to you all.

Your aunt talks of her grandson, who is approximately five years old. He has a special link with his granddad, something to do with the stars. Apparently, this was an interest of your uncle’s and the wee one will help to stimulate his interest in life again. He is a wee comedian and he loves his papa very much.

Both your aunt and mum tell me their passings were very quick and unexpected and both hated the strain the delay in the funerals, caused by the post mortems, put on your shoulders.

They talk of a family Christmas with you all and I am to tell you they will be with you.

I hope this helps you. It will take time, but the dark clouds are lifting.
