Now This Is A Sign!, (from my Little Nis') Options

[Furkidlets' Mom]

My grief has been simply terrible of late and with still fretting over the lack of signs from my gal, and both Sabin's and Nissa's birthday coming up on the 20th (and woulda been both of their 20th years), followed rapidly by the fifth month of Nissa's departure on the 23rd of this month as well.....my heart has been even more broken than ever before.

BUT....yesterday was a day of sudden 'reprieves'.....unbelievable, yet totally believable as well! While I've been avoiding music as much as possible since Nissa's been gone, my H happened to have our computer playing some in late afternoon. Since I was about to leave the room anyway, I didn't ask him to turn it off for my sake. But before I left, I asked my H to join me in asking Nissa to send me a message because of where I was going later on (see below), and he agreed to do so. Before I knew it, the song "The Year of the Cat" came on.....and THEN I ran for the stairs to get away. Yet, when I got upstairs, my inner voice told me to turn on my radio up there.....just in case there was a message to be had from my girl (considering the song I'd just run away from). So I did, and was tuning it away from the talk show that was on when I heard this snippet from this other talk show....about spiritual stuff....and the value of getting quiet in order to find God more easily. No sooner than they'd started yakking about this concept, the guest speaker mentioned that, related to this aspect, he'd done some reading about someone else's ideas about this....a certain someone named....Greg of Nissa!!!!!!! Now I don't know who in the heck this Greg guy is, and frankly, I doubt it matters a whit.....but his NAME, which I clearly heard (even if it's spelled differently, that's how it sounded).....well, come ON!....not only the Nissa part, but the entire t*itle is only ONE letter short of one of our humourous variations on Nissa's name.....Nissa The Grey!!! ....or Grey of Nissa!! Well!.....how much more obscure can you get?!?!? I NEVER hear her name.....anywhere! And yet here it was, right in front of me, right after I'd listened to my inner voice. Not only that, but I've been intuiting of late that, in order to make contact with her, I felt I would have to return to practising getting quiet....the very topic that had preceded this.

And the messages didn't stop there, either. I'd gone upstairs for the express purpose of getting ready to attend my first service ever at a Spiritualist church in the city. It was to be a "Messages Only" service, the first since the holidays, and I asked my girl to BE there with me and to try and come through again. Well, not knowing what to expect really, I was first struck by the harpist/soloist's choice of songs for the evening, which was about a couple taking pleasure in the small joys of life...and the woman having their CAT on her lap as they all relaxed together. Then, out of a group of about 30-odd people...I got a reading! Not only was it bang-on about my cir%%stances and how I've been feeling...but mention was made of a major loss, the inner strength I really do have inside, AND that my loved ones are busy sending me strength all the time!! There was more, all accurate, but this, to me, was the highlight. MY GIRL WAS THERE.....4 times in one day, bang, bang, bang, bang!

Oh, my Galski.....thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouTHANKYOU!!!!! You ARE here for me, just as you promised you'd be....always!!!! I LOOOOOOVE you, my Cuddle-Button!!!! Please help me to reach those states of quietude....so that I can FEEL you, know that I'm WITH you and you're with ME, as always, and that this will NEVER, EVER change! My girl, my Love-Dove, my Nissa The Grey of the Clan McGrey....you are a wonder among wonders and Mommy will try even harder now...now that you've given me HOPE, and your big, pink, fuzzy love...ever mine....I love you, my Niski-Pie!!!

Sorry I didn't get to reply sooner to all of you, but I was busy, then sick from a dinner out this wknd., and had some 'Nissa-work' to do as well, which has put me in a really sad space again.

Debbie,

I'm so happy for you that, with all the inadvertant work you've been doing as a channeler for some of the rest of us, you, too, found a sign from your Denis! That seems only fair, dontcha think?! You've done a FINE job of getting their messages out there....Denis must be proud of his mom for 'listening'!

Re: your last PM:.... clever reply to my question! LOL! And mine to yours....
Doors???....we don't have doors on our igloos!!

I did take a walk outdoors the next day, but didn't notice anything in the way of signs. Well, at least I got a bit of exercise. I also begged Nissa last night for a dream visitation (and for my Source to help her with this, plus help me remember any visitation!), but I don't recall her being in any of my morning dreams (the ones I usually remember).

Dayna,

I'm so glad you've been able to claim Debbie's canine cloud images as your own! That must make your heart feel as warmed as mine does, knowing our babies have used whatever means, and whomever they can, to get a message to us...bless their big hearts! I also loved your descriptions of both Louie and Mack...two very special souls.

ratlover,

I'm so glad you took the time to come back and write about yours and your daughter's own experiences with ADC's from your babies! THANK you! (and if you have any pics of Boo, I'd love to see them!) You are so, so lucky to have had not only "many" dream visitations from Boo, but especially those 2 full visual ADC's!! Wow. I know I probably speak for many of us when I say that this is the type of ADC we really yearn for...if only....You should have submitted your stories to Kim Sheridan, for her second book! I know I'D be pretty satisfied if I could get at least ONE really wonderful, fully-tactile dream visitation of Nissa and I holding each other and even kissing and hearing her sweet, little double-purr, AND one full visual ADC....it's what I long for with all my heart, because I know how much peace these powerful and incontravertible kinds of signs bring us, not only in the moment but almost more in the following years when we look back at our journey. We can carry these with us for the rest of our time here on earth, and that helps us to go forward with that measure of peace in our hearts.

I relate highly to what you said about your level of grief being the driving force behind getting such powerful signs. That's how it happend for me, at least with Sabin. While many think that being more peaceful is almost a prerequisite to getting signs, I've not believed that's necessarily the case, because that wasn't my experience, either. Sabin sent the biggest ones (the auditory and tactile ones) when I was still in shock and utter anguish over him. More came later, too, and still do in 'smaller' ways, but most were right in the earliest parts of my sorrow. And the fact that you'd suffered not one, but TWO huge losses in one day!!!.......only seems to verify that our state of mind doesn't have to be only a particular way. (and I'm also so sorry for the losses of both your Lucky Jellybean and Bart...2 more special souls) On the other paw, I'm wondering if Nissa wants to teach me the converse side of this lesson....that a more peaceful, quiet state can ALSO net results so that I'll then know that EITHER way works equally well??

And yes, I've read MANY accounts of other furbabies 'signalling' (or should that be 'heralding'?) the passing of another (whether another animal or a human they knew and loved) by doing odd things at the time of the passing. I also have heard that it takes a large amount of energy to 'get heard' by us after they cross, and share your sense of grat*itude for each and every attempt by them to come through. That's another reason I was simply blown away (especially once I was able to think more clearly) by all the signs Sabin sent so close together, so soon after he crossed. I've also heard that those who die naturally, even if it's traumatic and painful, actually have their energy 'recover' much more quickly after they transition...at least in the animal kingdom...not sure about humans. I don't really know why this might be, but that's what I've heard from people who have had much experience with these kinds of things, among them animal communicators. And long, chronic illness can lengthen the 'process', too, human OR animal. Certainly, with Sabin, this seemed to be true, as he went on his own, yet was 'back' right away, yet with Nissa it took lonvger before anything came through.

Also, the repet*ition of symbols is a common theme, I know. With Sabin, it's his age (13) that I find popping up most commonly. With Nissa, maybe it's going to be her name, which would be WONDERFUL if it continues....plus all her nicknames, seeing as I used those even more than her given name! Sabin also came through in certain birds, orage butterflies and one particular cat whom I didn't know...plus through Nissa. Seeing as I don't have any more babies, it seems like Nissa's been forced to use neighbourhood cats, but that's not as clear as I'd like it to be, or than it COULD be if was through someone I knew and loved who was living with me. Yes, I look at symbols...have for many years, and sometimes the messages through those can be quite stunning and personal. Your dragonflies are a great example of this, particularly when they come right at those memory-linked moments!

I loved the story of your dad, too. That echoes what SOOOO many others have witnessed when people passed, whether family or not. Many nurses see this kind of thing all the time. The only 2 fears I still have about death are that, because things have TOO often worked out differently for me than for most others, for this inexplicable reason I might NOT see my kidlets, or not right away, OR that (even worse) because of these fears, THAT'S the new reality I'LL create on my own, for myself! In simpler terms, I might scare myself into living my own fears! And THAT'S why I need to build up an arsenal of personal and experiential events of ADC's that can reassure me, over and over again, of being reunited with my kidlets....the humans I've lost, except for one old and dearest friend, I could even do without...but not my kids. I hope just the thought of them at my final moments will be enough to do the trick. I do remember when I was in a head-on crash once, the biggest thought I had was that I simply could not die, because my Little Nis' was at home and needed me to take care of her!

I'm also very thankful you wrote about your beliefs, as we're right on the same page there, too.

...when we 'die', we are simply going home to where we came from in the first place. How else can you explain why a 'live' body is animated, yet in 'death' that same body goes still? The very essence that made it 'alive', that made it who it was, has passed on, but continues, eternally.

Not only everything else we've both read, but this in particular, always resonated with me as a Knowing. And once you see it actually happen, it seems even truer, at least it did for me. (aside from all the people who've seen something filmy, white and ethereal actually leaving the body) Evidence points to us being souls animating (where the word "animal" comes from to begin with), but not contained by a body, not the other way around. And I know I'm severely (more's the pity) attached emotionally to those dear bodies, and that that's what makes it so hard to take when they fail. I've always said that it won't be 'Heaven' for me UNLESS I get to reexperience that physical component there, even if it's all ultimately just 'in my mind'. I wouldn't quibble about HOW it's accomplished, but only that it CAN be! This, aside from what Sabin taught me so long ago....that what's REALLY and even MORE real is the communion between souls who love each other, and that you don't need a body at all for that to happen....although here, it kinda helps the process.

Boo's song is simplistic beauty, too and says it all. What a blessing that he sent it to you, to remember and cherish for all time, and even out of Time. And I also still think it's highly significant that we've connected here seeing as, even though it's fairly common a name, the nickname I called Sabin MOST frequently (and more than his given name, too) was Boo-Boo....because I also DON'T believe anymore, in mere coincidence. So your sharing here was invaluable to me as well as highly significant. It all seems, along with Debbie's sharings, to be part of that bigger picture we often disregard or don't even notice until we reflect on our lives. But I've trained myself to be open to seeing that as much as possible, and you've become part of that now, too. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being a part of this move towards peace, faith and hope.
