This didn't strictly happen to me but...
Our close friends lost their tenth month old baby due to SIDS at aprrox 2:00am (when she was discovered) New Years Day 2004.
I thought I'd seen grief before but nothing prepared me for this.
The couple were destroyed & there was nothing one could have said or done to make any of it better.
As supportive as we tried to be, things went going from bad to worse. I've never seen people in true despair & its something I don't want to see again.
The couple tried to have another baby to, hopefully, start their lives again but with no luck.
In desperation they went to see a medium.
A convoluted tale was related to them involving a white feather, a box of swan vestas & the paternal grandfather. Details aren't important, but, at exactly the time the medium predicted, a series of events involving all the aforementioned items occurred & lo & behold there was a baby on the way.
Now I know all the cold reading tricks, coincidences & wish fulfilment that can occur in this situation & not for one minute do I think that anyone has spoken to the dead or that the dead have influenced lives in this world - but none of that matters. They felt that a healing process had begun.
What's really spooky (in a nice way) is the end of the story.
When my mate came down the stairs on New Years eve 2004 he found two white feathers on the bottom step & within an hour they had to go to the hospital as the baby was on his way.
The new baby was born 01:00hrs New years day 2005, three weeks premature.
New life & hope has been brought into their shattered lives & the house has lost its depressive aura.
Reincarnation or just a coincidence ? Any thoughts ?
