Hello From Heaven
Submitted by: Sharon Cribbon
Kildare, IrelandMy name is Sharon Cribbon. I am twenty three years of age and I was mastering The Secret before I had even began to read the book. It was just that a spiritualist advised me to read it as I often felt lost and different in my own unique thoughts. I am a big lover of music and I go by my own self belief with everything I do. The Secret allowed me to embrace my gift a little bit more and really strive for the best with every new waking day that I am granted with. For this I will be forever grateful that by reading The Secret I found my place in the Universe
Our Family has always been close. We have an immediate bond that can never draw us away from one another and this especially enforced by our parents and grandparents. As we grew up and got wiser with age, I always had an extremely close relationship with my grandparents. I had a permenant vision in my mind that they would be there to witness all the glorified and triumphant moments in our lives and pick us up when we had fallen down. I never imagined my life without them and because the image was so vivid in my mind, I always believed that they both were immortal.
October 3rd 2008, Grandad passed away after battling with cancer for over a year. His departure was devasting but his prescence was so illuminating that I just considered it to be all part of the healing process. My Granmother was left behind, lost without her husband, after 37 years of marraige, her life was silenced. She lasted 7 months on her own and on the 5th May 2009 my grandad came to take her away in her sleep. After she passed I somehow blamed myself, had I been there with her she might not have gone so soon.
Time had no purpose anymore, it seem to just move on by but time did not heal us, we just pretended not to recognise reality. The image in my mind of them still with us did not leave. Although they were not here in person, I could still feel their presence. I would get in my car to go to work and ask them for me to arrive safe, I would go on holidays and ask for them to keep me safe, my family were doing their own individual activities and I would ask them to keep them safe.
My mam had taken grandads death very bad and as a result of his passing, part of her died with him too. She always feared the unknown. She feared that she would die and leave us here on our own, she feared the emotion ‘fear’ so she attracted the worst of them all. In March 2011 my mam was diagnosed with mouth cancer. We all were so angry, saddened, fearful and lacking in hope and faith. We asked our grandparents why her? After all that she had been through, why now and why this?
My thoughts were very different. Grandad was her guardian angel and always had been. This illness was put here for a reason, not to make her sick but to have her face her fear, have her fight her demons, have her live through the worse in order to battle to the other side.
She under went two big surgeries to remove all of the cancer. Before she went she was a mess, throughout it all she was a hero. May 2011 she got the all clear, cancer free and fearless.
The vivid image I created as a child based upon my grandparents was played out in reality. The mind saw what it needed to see and it created an energy more powerful than ever imagined. Our family has kept our grandparents alive because they will forever be part of us and because all we wanted was for our mam to get better and beat her ultimate fear in life, she came out the other side a hero.
Never doubt the unknown. Never question your beliefs, for the people you are so grateful of, despite wherever they may have gone, they will forever be part of you. Good things happen to those who wish and pray for it and believe that good will come of it.
Grandad and Bid Mc Nally we love you, miss you and feel your presence with us everyday xx
