One last conversation, one hug, one afternoon together.

When you lose the ones you love most, all you want is one last conversation, one hug, one afternoon together. You just want a few final moments together…
The thing about this wish, this longing, is that you can have it... You may have already experienced it and didn't realize that it was real.
Love is energy. Energy knows no time or space. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy just is and has always been. Energy is what flows through everything that is now or has ever been. In short, love (Energy) never dies; it just moves to another plane of existence. It is still here and all around us.
I remember the experience the first time I had a dream after losing someone I loved deeply. Unfortunately, I lost my grandfather at a very young age. As a matter of fact, he was buried on my 6th birthday.
One Hug
He came to me in a dream that week and gave me a big hug at the donut shop we loved to frequent. But, of course, I didn't understand the dream then and didn't have any real clue what death was. But, I did know that I deeply loved my grandfather, and he was one of my most profound connections at the time.
I had more dreams like that from people who have passed, but it wasn't until a dear friend passed that I finally understood what was happening.
A Best Friend, Gone.
A very dear friend took his life. He was one of my husband's best friends. We were in Vegas working a show together when my mom called to give me the news. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done to tell my husband that his friend was gone.
I was in another building working on one of the higher floors, and he was in a portable building quite a ways away. My husband's partner called him and let him know to get up to where I was right away because I was in tears, and it wasn't good. So my beautiful husband ran the entire way to me, all the way up the stairs. He was beyond scared and thought something was wrong with the kids.
When I saw him, he was running to me asking about the kids. I let him know right away the kids were safe. I then told him what happened and he fell to the ground. We were both devastated; we hopped on the soonest flight and got home.
One Hug
We were all very close. So when we got home, we were there with the family, helping. That week was flying by; we were exhausted and emotionally spent. I had a dream at the end of the week, and my friend came to me and let me know he was ok. He hugged me, and then he left.
When I woke up in the morning that the dream was real, I knew that he was ok and he was letting me know that. It was a dream I had before with others who had passed. They were real, and this dream now was love talking to me again.
As the years passed after our dear friend left us, I went through a significant spiritual transformation. We had lost a lot through those years but gained so much in other ways. I learned so many things... I will tell you about a lot of them along this journey.
The Greatest Lesson
One of my greatest lessons is that love never dies. I can have a conversation with those who have passed. The conversation wouldn't look like the ones we have over coffee; they are very different. They are slow and unconventional.
So when my brother passed so suddenly. I had an inside scoop on this secret language. A few days after my brother died, I finally had a moment to breathe. So when I settled into sleep that night, I set the intention that my brother would come to me and hug me. I needed the hug; I needed to feel his arms. You know one last time.
Seeing my brother in my dream that night was magical! He came to me and hugged me. We talked and laughed. He hugged me and let me know he was more than alright. It's a moment that I will never forget.
Tap In
The language is there; we just need to know how to tap into it. I was lucky to meet a great teacher in Dawn at the Zen Room in Gilroy, CA. I worked with Dawn for years before my brother passed, and because of that, the transition was so much easier. I was able to create a language with my brother pretty quickly. A language I still use today.
I have done a lot of studying with my friend Dawn, so I had the tools. However, it wasn't until I came across this book from a dear friend who lost her son in an accident that I finally found a book that put the language into words.
Here is an easy way for me to share the tools you need to help you create your language with those you love. The book Signs by Laura Lynn Jackson is the book you need to help you create your own language. She delves deep into watching for signs from those you love. I love the simple ways she allows the reader to find their way. So please take a look at this book if you are in need of your own signs.
Grief has so many hidden gifts. I pray that you can look up from the despair and see all the gifts your loved one is sending you. This book will definitely help!
