the lorry driver for shock but they couldn’t find anything wrong with my boyfriend or me. I didn’t have so much as a scratch on me and no signs of whiplash from the impact. But looking at the car, I knew the policeman was right and that we should by rights have been dead.
Lisa came to see me after the accident and we talked about what it had meant. She had no doubt that her father had saved her life by cushioning her boyfriend and her during the impact. I told her I have often heard people describe that feeling of floating as if you are being held by angelic arms. I’ve experienced it myself and even though I work with spirit every day of my life, I still find it uncanny.
Lisa realised she was being given a second chance but that she had to start taking more care of herself. She’d been driving that sports car of hers far too fast and she could have killed not only herself but her boyfriend as well. She had to slow down—literally and metaphorically—and start living her life more consciously instead of rushing headlong from one experience to the next.
The Final Visit
In the last moments of our lives, we are never alone. Someone who has gone before will always come to collect us, whether it’s a grandparent, a parent, a partner, a child or a good friend. If you have ever sat with someone who is dying, you will know that an incredible calmness comes over them because they have seen or heard the person they love coming for them. Many, many people have described this to me and I know we will all go through it one day. There is nothing to fear at that moment, and the dying know it. All will be well.
To illustrate this, I’m including a story I heard from a doctor about an end-of-life and after-life experience he had.
One evening I was called out to the home of a fifty-four-year-old woman who had a history of heart problems. When I walked into her bedroom I was surprised to see so many people there and asked them to leave so I could examine my patient in peace. Her husband and two daughters left the room, but a man and a woman still stood in the corner, smiling.
‘Would you mind stepping out for a moment?’ I asked, getting irritated, but all they did was smile.
My patient was very weak but she managed to say: ‘It’s only you and me in the room, doctor. The lady and gentleman you can see are my parents and they’ve come for me because it’s my time to die.’
‘Nonsense,’ I said. ‘You’re not going to die if I’ve got anything to do with it.’ But when I did my examination, I realised her heart was very weak and that she must have had another heart attack. I called an ambulance and waited with her until it came.
