Miranda

Recently, I had the spirit of a woman lurking about my house.

What’s new, right? They seem to be drawn to me wherever I go, but especially like to take up space here with me at home.

This woman was a bit different than the rest. She wasn’t just passing through. She stared at me expectantly. As if I knew what she wanted. I attempted helping her cross over, but she quite stubbornly refused that help. So, I ignored her.

She didn’t go away.

I saw her day in and day out. An average height, very thin woman with stringy brown hair all pulled up. She looked tired and worn. I’m assuming she worked hard during her life, or maybe whatever was causing her sadness is what was causing her appearance to seem so ragged. How was I supposed to know? She wouldn’t converse with me on any level.

I tried to get any information out of her that I could. Here’s all I got:

1) Her name was Miranda.

2) She was very sad.

She hung around for months. Every now and then, I’d check in with her to see if she was ready to let me know what it was exactly that she wanted from me.

No go. She kept her arms crossed, looked down her nose at me and seemed to be peeved that I hadn’t already completed the task that she so clearly thought I should have by now.

Eventually, her sorrow became too much for me to be around any longer. It was draining. I needed help with this one.

I contacted my friend, Kathy (who is a psychic-medium) to see if she’d be willing to do a reading for me to see exactly what it is that Miranda needed…because I needed her to go. I mean, I could have just told her to get the heck out of my house, but I sensed she had nowhere else to turn. I truly did want to help her, not just be rid of her and her draining sadness.

Now, Kathy doesn’t typically deal with the earthbound folks that I’m so used to, but she was glad to help any way that she could.

Basically, I told her that I had a woman named Miranda that I wanted to help out and asked if she could connect to her and gain some more information than I had been able to. She sent me back a detailed reading, and I knew she had contacted the same Miranda that had been so persistent. Here’s a little bit of the first part of the reading, in Kathy’s words:

I sense that she is earthbound and very, very sad; so much crying, worry, distress and mourning (perhaps over a son – clutching, grasping at you).

The other side of her is firm, upright and self-controlled.

She seems to be saying, “Jamie can help me with this” as she buttons her lip, she doesn’t want to tell me what it is! (She is sly too!)

Right away, I knew by Kathy sensing her sadness and that she said she was tight-lipped with her as well, that we were both connected to the same woman in need. So I continued reading with interest and with hope that more information was forthcoming…

She says, “I want him back” (my son).

She is also afraid of being dead and she looks at me accusingly (for the kind of work I do ie. mediumship).

Maybe the reason she was so hesitant to communicate with me is that her belief system during her life was against mediumship?

I see her with brown hair wearing an apron. She is a farm wife (with a scrawny, scraggly presence), quite worn, when in actuality she is only in her thirties!

Just as I saw her…brown hair, thin and worn. Yup, we’re definitely on the same page here…

I get a vision of a beautiful field, green and full of wildlife. I also see a toddler “and then I lost him” (she says) “and all is black. Where is he”? (Jamie can help).

“Yes, she (Jamie) know him (she says this slyly) – she knows everyone” (the dead, I believe?) “Jamie loves him”.

The part where Miranda says “she knows everyone” made me giggle a bit, because there are days that I do feel like I know all of the dead! Or at least they’ve all been through here at some point! Obviously, this is an exaggeration, but at times it is like I have a ghostly revolving door.

It’s like she fell into blackness when all of this happened with her son and she never woke up. She wants her ‘real self’ back – the self with a son and she wants me to tell you, Jamie “that if I can see him, I’ll go”.

No wonder this woman was so sad. As a parent, this tugged at my heart, and I was determined to stop ignoring Miranda and put forth every effort to reconnect her with her son so she would cross over.

This is where it gets tricky for me. At the time, I didn’t do ‘readings’ and was rarely able to connect with those crossed over, at least on purpose. But I knew I had to. After failing to connect with her son, once again, I called on Kathy to connect to him, explain the situation and send him my way. And that’s exactly what happened.

I called to him to help take his mother to the Other Side. He indeed showed up, as well as a slew of others she seemed to know and trust. She then went easily with her son.

I was glad to see her go, but mostly, I was glad to see her reunited with her son and happy. I haven’t seen or heard anything from Miranda since then. The sadness I felt in my house lifted when she moved on.
