Communicating with Your Departed Loved One, Part 3

Back to New York. I had opened to allow an Italian Grandmother’s Mother to speak through me. I’d never done it before, but as the energy gently slipped into me through my crown chakra, I became the background observer. Here’s what happened.

As I recall, the Mother said (through me), “You have called me and I have come. What is it that you want?”

The Old Italian Grandmother said, “I want to know why you wouldn’t let me stay with you when you were dying. Did I do something wrong? Was I a bad daughter? Why did you tell me to go? Tell me why.”

In the background, I was surprised at her heart-felt question. The energy had shifted and her sincerity and long-time hurt was waiting to be healed… or so it seemed to me.

The Mother said, “You never did anything wrong. You were a wonderful daughter to me. The reason that I didn’t want you with me when I died was because you were too young. I didn’t want you to remember me that way. I didn’t want you to be hurt. I love you and I always will. You were always a good daughter.”

Then there was a pause and because my eyes were closed, as sometimes happens while channeling, I didn’t know what was happening. How was the Grandmother taking this?

Then she said, “OK, Mama, you came when I called and you answered my question. Thank you. Now is there anything that you want from me?”

The Mother said, “Yes. You can call me by my name like you used to.”

Then the entire room filled with an amazing love.

The Daughter, the Old Italian Grandmother, repeated several times, “I love you mama. I love you mama.” She continued for quite some time.

While she was speaking, a waterfall of tears flowed from my closed eyes, down my cheeks.

Then the Daughter (The Old Italian Grandmother) said, “Ok, mama. You can go now. Thank you.”

And before anything else could happen, the energy of that Mother lifted right out of me and was gone. I opened my eyes and before I could say anything, the Old Italian Grandmother said, “OK. Now we are done.” And she got up and left.

Well. OK. I sat there for a while, a bit numb and not knowing how to think about what had just transpired. I knew that the experience was healing for both the Mother and the Daughter and I was humbled by my ability to participate.

After over twenty years, I decided to change the way I channel this kind of session. I stopped allowing discarnate spirits to enter my body and speak through me. Instead, I now channeled “over the keyboard”. That is, I receive the communication and at the same time, I type the words into my computer.

I am continually humbled by the gift of being able to participate in the spiritual journeys of both those who would like to learn how to do this, those who want to schedule a session, and those in spirit form who are waiting to speak to their loved ones who are still incarnate.

Next we’ll talk about doubt.
