Hi, All. I recently started posting here after the sudden death of our beloved greyhound Britney Boopers. The support I've received has been incredible and incredibly comforting and helpful.
Two things happened recently that I believe were God's way of helping me through this. The day after Britney died, I prayed loudly to God to help me deal with this. I was begging. Beseeching. That very day, the enormously heavy grey cloud that was over me very suddenly lifted. It was so sudden! I also felt a rush of strength. It was a palpable, tangible feeling of strength that rushed into my body. It was a feeling of brightness that I felt in my whole being. It felt like a river of bright strength coursing through me. I attribute it to God answering my prayer for help. The next day (yesterday), I was driving to do some errands. I normally play my cds when I drive. I NEVER listen to the radio. But, yesterday, I decided to turn on the radio instead. The first thing I heard was a commercial advertising some sort of research or conference or talk show on how to cope after we have lost a loved one. STRANGE, I thought. I flipped to another channel. They were playing the tail end of Beyonce's "Halo." I had never listened to it before, but I was listening now! The lyrics from the part of the song I heard: Everywhere I'm looking now I'm surrounded by your embrace Baby I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're everything I need and more It's written all over your face Baby I can feel your halo Pray it won't fade away Chorus : I can't feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo I can feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo Hit me like a ray of sun Burning through my darkest night You're the only one that I want Think I'm addicted to your light I swore I'd never fall again But this don't even feel like falling Gravity can't begin To pull me back to the ground again I can't feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo I can feel your halo halo halo I can see your halo halo halo WOW!!! Well, it gets better. The NEXT song was Hall and Oates' "She's Gone." Lyrics: Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what's right for me My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon but it's plain to see that they can't comfort me Sorry Charlie for the imposition I think I've got it, got the strength to carry on I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me, ooh what will be Chorus: She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd better learn how to face it She's Gone Oh I, Oh I'd pay the devil to replace her She's Gone - what went wrong Up in the morning look in the mirror I'm worn as her tooth brush hanging in the stand my face ain't looking any younger now I can see love's taken her toll on me She's Gone Think I'll spend eternity in the city let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away and pretty bodies help dissolve the memories but they can never be what she was to me She's Gone OH MY GOSH!!!!! Have you had similar experiences? Signs from God or your pet? |

I had the most disturbing dream last night.
I had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. My husband left me because of it. On the last day of my life I went to some kind of party, and everyone I know was there. I visited with them all, and took pictures with my cell phone, as if somehow I could take the phone and their pictures with me when I passed. I walked through a city and came to a vehicle, could have been a hearse or ambulance, I don't know. Two women I know were in it. The invited me in and had me lay on a backboard/bed type thing that seemed to be like an air mattress. For some reason my feet were up by the steering wheel. I asked them if they were sure this was where they wanted me, because I was about to die you know, and I didn't want to be in the way. They assured me I was in the right place. I showed them how bad the edema was in my leg and then I laid down. I felt myself start to slip away, my whole body started tingling like it does when a foot "falls asleep" and I started calling for Callie over and over again. "Callie! Callie! Callie!", like I was calling her to me. I must have yelled her name dozens of times before I passed. Her name was on my lips when I died. And then I woke up. I did not have any feeling of shortness of breath like I sometimes do. But I kept asking myself, "Am I alive?" as I laid there, heard my husband snore, the alarm went off, and I knew I was still alive. Did I actually die in my sleep and Callie saved me? Was it a message from Callie to call her and she'd be there when my time comes? Or was it just a very intense and realistic dream with no meaning whatsoever? I don't suppose I'll ever really know, but I can say one thing for certain; I'm a bit nervous to sleep again, half afraid I won't wake up! And yet, my first feeling upon waking was one of comfort, as if now I know what it is like to die, and that Callie and I will be together again when the time comes. Very very disturbing. |
