time was different.
“The hospital was a half-hour drive and I was alone, so all the way there I ‘talked’ to my dad. I
told him what I had learned and that life does go on. I told him what happens when we cross
over and what to do, and then I spiritually grabbed his hand and took him up to Focus 27. I
showed him my ‘house’ and that his favorite chair was there as well. I showed him that we
could visit there, and he could do so many things . . . even go fishing (his favorite thing to do,
but he hadn’t been able to for many years). My dad was an anxious man, determined to hang
on, and often expressed that he didn’t want to die. He never shared his beliefs about death,
and I believe he was afraid. I felt that my talking to him alleviated some of his fears and mine
as well.
“I felt very ‘connected’ to spirit as I entered the hospital, and when I pressed the fifth-floor
elevator button the elevator went past five, stopped at the sixth floor (the doors opened, then
closed), then went back to the fifth floor. I felt this was a message from spirit, which gave me
strength.
“When I entered the hospital room, my dad’s breathing was very labored and he appeared
unconscious. My mom, sister, and brother were already there, seated around the room, and
previously I would have joined them against the wall, but I pulled a chair close to my dad and
held his hand. This brought everyone else closer as well. We all had time to hold his hand or
wipe his brow—and he was conscious after all, proven by a groan or a slight squeeze of his
hand. When I held my dad’s hand I would privately ‘talk’ to him spiritually and show him the
route to Focus 27. I shared visions of his past pets and old fishing boat in 27, and although I
didn’t have the opportunity to do much, I felt that I had made a difference somehow. My dad
passed away a few hours later.
“At the end of that night, we were standing around the hospital parking lot, about to go to our
various cars, and the light above us went out. I said, ‘Maybe that’s Dad, telling us that he’s
okay?’ My family laughed, and my mom said that the light had been burned out for weeks (my
dad had been in the hospital a few weeks earlier). I knew that the light going out was a
message, from my dad or someone else.
“I felt a great deal of strength and calmness during the next few days, and I know that wouldn’t
have been the case if I hadn’t taken the Dying & Living Program. I took care of all the
arrangements, but listened carefully to accommodate everyone’s wishes as well as possible.
All of the events turned out to be wonderful tributes to my dad, which also brought our family
closer together. I am amazed at the timing of my participation in the Dying & Living Program. I
feel that I helped my dad cross over safely, and I now know that the program benefited my
dad, my family, and me.”
Society at large may think that we have plenty of time to prepare for death, yet death has no
timetable. It may choose to arrive in our life at any moment after our birth, and our program
puts it into context and prepares one for that inevitable and ultimate journey.
