Dear George Anderson:
I have had two phone readings
with yourself in the past four years where you communicated with my
daughter, Katie. These readings and your books have brought me a great deal
of peace and given me a reason to go on and a hope for my future with Katie
again. I will always be eternally grateful to you for this.
My question is that during both my readings with you and during a reading
with another medium in Scotland, you both thought Katie was a lot older than
she is. You referred to her as an "old soul" and was surprised to find out
she was only four when she passed on four years ago. You said you felt she
could "show you around". I am relieved that she seems to be doing very well
in the hereafter but I have always remained curious as to how she seems to
know so much, when on earth she was so dependant on me? Could this mean
that she has been in heaven before?
I know you are extremely busy George, but I really hope you will be able to
reply to me, as not being able to be the Mum I should be to Katie rips me
apart every day and not understanding something about her life without me
right now is very hard.
Warmest regards, Alison
Dear Alison:
When the souls communicate to me, they
generally have no need to show me their physical attributes until they need
to be identified. So I may see a soul unencumbered by the way they
looked on the earth. It's almost as if it's a costume they wear so
that I can identify them to the family. In instances like in your
session, although your daughter was physically a young girl, in the
hereafter, her true soul was one of a much more experienced soul.
It also makes perfect sense to me that she only needed to stay on the earth
for a short amount of time--she must have come back to learn a particular
lesson, and also be part of your spiritual journey on the earth, before
returning to the Other Side.
Many parents first seemed confused that
their child could have been an "old soul," but then upon
thinking about the child's life, they realize that their child always seemed
a little wiser than their years, or seemed to understand the world a little
better than other children their age. These are truly special children
who return to the earth for a quick spiritual lesson, and also to be born
into the family of those who must experience the loss of a child in their
lifetime. So the arrangement is always twofold.
The loss of a child on the earth is the
hardest thing any of us will have to struggle through here, but the souls
have told me so many times that it is also the most richly rewarded.
Some parents, knowing that their child "knows their way around" in the
hereafter, generally feel a little more at ease, knowing their child is
still familiar enough with the other side and is perfectly at home there.
I think many times it takes away the worries parents have that their
children may have no one to "look after them." They, like every single
soul of a child that returns to the grace and beauty of the Infinite Light,
are loved and cared for better than we can hope to imagine.
Although Katie was an "old soul" in the
hereafter, she was still very much a child on the earth, with the same needs
as every child. But unencumbered by the physical limitations of a
child's body, she can now be the soul she has always been, which may have
been older than her physical years on the earth.
I have often heard parents tell their
children, "No matter how old you get, you will always be my baby." It
is very much the same with the souls--no matter how old or young a soul will
be, Katie is still very much your baby, and will remain so when it is your
turn to graduate to the hereafter. One of the most special gifts
bereaved parents receive in the hereafter, is that when they reunite with
their children, it is as if not one second has passed since the last time
they saw them. So the Infinite Light allows time and space to bend
enough to allow parents to see their children grow and learn, just as they
would have on the earth. So as a bereaved parent, you do not lose one
second of your child's learning and formative years. You begin again
where you left off on the earth, and all grow together. But old soul,
young soul or anything in between, these souls are our loved ones, and the
bonds with us are stronger than we realize. They are still very much
our loved ones, and always will be.
