To make a long story as brief as I am able, a strange thing happened to my wife. She is a doctor and one of her elderly patients/ clients, passed away yesterday. Very sad. The thing is, the entire day my wife was highly irritated, not becuz she is married to me, but was visibly agitated all day. Even seeing patients yesterday in the AM, the staff commented on her being "different." Well then when we meet up for lunch, she explains to me that she purchased a card for this lady and her husband and wrote in it how she felt they were like two beautiful flowers spreading seeds of joy where ever they went. Mind you, my wife has no inclination that this elderly lady has passed on. While we are sitting there, she dials an elderly patients # she hasn't seen for some time and they chat. After speaking with this other lady, my wife seemed more "with it" and we went about our day. ( this entire obsession with her elderly patients) Get home last PM, she again is irritated and discusses all these things on her mind. I find out she has been talking to a number of her patients thru-out the day, all elderly. Being the empathetic husband, I register every fith or sixth word as she tells me her day experiences. Well this AM I discover this lady has passed on, call my wife, who is busy and I leave a message. As I have been working today, the words my wife shared last nigh seem to have filtered there way in, and my mind has connected the spots so to speak. I am just wondering if others out there have encountered such a strange happening with a non family members death. Am I connecting things that do not need connecting? It was truly strange watching things as they play out. Over simplified? Crazy? Making connections where none exist? Did this dying lady connect with my wife yest? You tell me.

    yes,
    it's too hard to explain but the connection with the elders your wife cares for everyday brings them to rely on each other in a crazy kind of way through their hearts and minds,then to loose one of those connections can be an emotional experence. you trust someone will be there and they pass, many levels of pain can make a person act or react differently then they normaly would, the healing process is weird and takes some people through many avenues of emotion...... or are you talking in a shamon kind of way, that can get real crazy.
    I have ideas on that also but thats just a crazy thought of mine.

    Is it a pain that they experience when a patient dies? I just think, and mind you i have thot about this for some days now, but I think that my wife's agitation was due to this lady's spirit being around. Not hovering per se, or "punching" thots into my wife's mind, but an energy thing. This lady who passed was communicating? I don't konw, I just know that tomorrow I sit with my wife in a church as watch family and friends mourn her passing. And if this passing is such a pleasant thing becuz they go to "heaven" then why the long and sad faces. Aren't they better off? This death thing is unsettling. As for the Shamin, I would love to look into that but have reservations. I would entertain your ideas on this subject as it seems to be so personal with we humans that different angles can't be all that bad.

    Peace

    Yes, just about as much as the boogie man, tooth fairy, santa claus and the easter bunny.
