About five years ago, I did a reading for an unmarried couple who had been a couple for a long time, living together in a harmonious, monogamous, committed relationship. Both in their 40’s, Suzanne was diagnosed with a type of leukemia just a few years into their relationship, and so their lives revolved around her cancer treatments and the emotional roller coaster of the leukemia moving in and out of remission. She and Michael faced her diagnosis and prognosis realistically, but focused their life on enjoying their time together.
And then one day, Michael was diagnosed with liver cancer and died a few weeks later.
Suzanne heard about me through a mutual friend, and called to schedule a reading. She was in shock from the suddenness of Michael’s passing, grief-stricken at the profoundness of the loss, and tormented by the feeling that there was a wrongness about it. She wasn’t sure what she hoped to get from the reading, but thought it was “worth a shot.”

A lot has been written about near-death experiences, and the phenomenon by which a person’s spirit leaves their body briefly, only to go back in, once the body is revived. This phenomenon is real, and does no permanent damage to, or has any lasting impact on, either body or spirit. But there is a phenomenon that is a companion to this, that occurs when the body is working but comatose, and the brain is profoundly damaged. I call this state of existence “bumped out,” because that is how it appears to me — like a person’s spirit got bumped out of their body, and then refused to go back in. The causes of this may vary slightly, but the spiritual sentiment is the same: that the brain is too damaged and too limited in its functioning, and the soul would rather be out than in.
