For those who are not followers of the TV show The Walking Dead, forgive my comparison in this blog, but for those like myself who are fans, the first mid-season episode blew my mind. Yes the series was full of zombie violence but the writers went beyond that last night. One of my favorite characters Tyreese, was bitten by a zombie. Noah runs for help. Much of the episode takes place as Tyreese experiences the onset of long, protracted hallucination. Even if the writers meant for it to be hallucinations only, there had to be some thought that you are not alone when you die. As Tyreese held his wound, to try to stop the bleeding the camera would show the expression in his eyes, and you could see confusion, fear and yet a glimmer of comfort and hope. His friends who had died came to comfort him, but what was also very interesting is that two men with whom had a difficult time in life, came to sort out his wrongs. As the show went on the others came and did what they could do to save him and as they were transporting him in the car, Tyreese looked at Rick driving the car but instead of Rick he saw Beth (who had previously died) driving. She turned to him and said, “it’s better now.” As he looked at the seat next to him, he saw his two friends (two little girls) who had also died. They also said “it’s better now.”
I believed them. I felt comfort. I felt that he was now at peace. The camera pulled back, Tyreese was taken out of the car and the next scene was at his funeral.
I know he wasn’t hallucinating I know his friends were there to meet him. I am just so pleased that a top rated TV show would write it in such a surreal episode that the viewers got a glimpse of crossing over.
Years ago I went to the bedside of a man, named Bill, who was dying. He could not speak, but the spirit of his mother told me that both she and his father were waiting for him. She explained to me that she and Bill had a very difficult relationship and she was not a very kind mother. She came to help him cross over to show her remorse, yet Bill was having a hard time excepting her apologies. This process was very important, as enabled Bill’s soul to let go of his anger towards his mother so he could cross over in peace.
Vic told me that even with his twin brother waiting for him his will to live was strong. After he realized that his body was braking down more each day and that he could never be the strong man he once was, then crossing over became apparent. Vic also explained that when he took his last breath the journey was much easier because of his brother.
When my mother died she called out “Momma,” and then “Sam”. I knew my dad was waiting for her and for years she longed to see her mother again, I felt pleased for her that her mother was there to walk with her on her journey.
As I medium I know you are not alone when you die. More and more TV and films are describing what it is like to die, the same way I am told by spirit. The words I hear over and over again from spirit is “I’m ok now” or “It’s better now.” Is it a coincidence that www.thewalkingdead.com writers used the words “It’s better now”? I don’t think so; remember I don’t believe in coincidences.
In each blog we will explore the afterlife, transitioning, energy and communication. To put it simply, what do we do when we die?
You may contact me if you have any questions or comments. Looking forward to hearing from you. Life is a journey and it makes it a little easier when we can do it together.
