Desirae stood up and moved toward her mother.
“She is standing near you,” Doreen said, and Marsha turned toward her daughter.
“Mother, I am so sorry.
I didn’t want you to hear it like this,” she said.
“She wants you to know that she is sorry,” Doreen
repeated after I told her what Desirae said.
“I don’t feel her…is she still here?” Marsha asked.
“I believe that she has decided to stay with you…to not
cross over,” Doreen answered.
That is when Marsha’s emotional façade crumbled.
“Oh baby! I miss
you so much!” She said.
Marsha stood up, tears finally finding their way out of
her eyes. “My poor, poor baby!”
“Thank you Ms. Caliente,” Marsha said before paying
Doreen and walking out.
Desirae’s spirit followed her mother out. Doreen and I just stayed where we were,
attempting to process what we just heard.
After a while, I had a question for Doreen. “How do you know so much about ghosts and
accessing the spiritual realm?”
“I have a consultant…I think you know her…”Doreen
began.
“Helen tells me all that I need to know about
ghosts. She knows, because she lives
with three of them.”
That explained why Helen was able to tell me so much about my new spiritual
state.
I stood up to leave after my shift was over. “Thank you for your help…and remember, you
can now go back and forth between the two realms whenever you want to,” Doreen
reminded me.
At the time, I did not know how useful that would be.
Outside, I ran into Marsha and the spirit of
Desirae. I sensed that Desirae was
content with her decision to remain in the world of the living. But Marsha seemed to be on an emotional
roller coaster.
She went from seeming almost pleased, to a state of
tears within minutes.
I thought briefly that knowing how her daughter died may
not have given her the relief that she thought it would. Desirae may have been right in not wanting to
tell her. Sometimes we just
can’t handle the truth.
