Comments on: I enjoy meeting the deceased, odd as that may sound http://www.howspiritworks.com/archives/69 “If you’re never going to die, you don’t need this book” Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:14:35 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Vanessa O'Neil http://www.howspiritworks.com/archives/69/comment-page-1#comment-12 Vanessa O'Neil Thu, 25 Sep 2008 18:12:15 +0000 http://www.howspiritworks.com/?p=69#comment-12 Dear Vanessa, My heart goes out to you. There is no pain in this world that compares to the loss of a child for a parent and for you to find the courage and a purpose to continue to live and love is such a challenge. With the death of a child so young I would expect to - in trance meditation- to have a (deceased) relative or angel or guide of your daughter's with her to help with the communication and offer any broader understanding of her experience that we may have. We can release our expectations, pray for healing within the venue of the meditation and accept what we are able to have with Stella, a personality that passed so young. Of course if you are not satisfied I will not take your money. But having said that I commend your bravery for being open the the fact that your daughter does still exist in energy, in a form that we can no longer feel, see or touch, and it is a leap of faith for you to be willing to experience what I can help make possible for you and Stella. My best to you, Gretchen Gretchen, I really appreciate what you are doing with your blog! I lost my one year old daughter to cancer in Feb. (leap year day). Her name is Stella...actually, you can read her story if you wish at: caringbridge.org and type in stellaoneil. I'm 36 years old and have really never experienced much in the area of grief or loss, so this has affected me in so many ways. I'm normally sort of an "intellectual" type, so my coping mechanism has been reading spiritual work. I definitely will be reading your book and hope to be in contact with you. I think my biggest struggle has been being able to identify how she's with us. I really wasn't a very spiritual person to start: what I mean is, I can read about it, but it is very hard for me to quiet my mind, especially now. Grief groups don't even get into the area you do~ which to me seems to be a very helpful venue for exploration. Vanessa O'Neil Wauwatosa, WI Dear Vanessa,
