Ghostly Grudges: Do spirits forgive us? 2017-05-31T17:39:09-04:00 Jay Lane

Unfinished business with someone who dies can be quite distressing for the one who’s left behind. Feelings of guilt, the things that “could have, should have or would have” been said dance around your imagination and soon, you find yourself without closure and asking yourself if things would have been different “if only” you would have taken another course of action!  It’s time to stop beating yourself up over things that were left unsaid, or things that you would have done differently!

Thanks to Lora who bears her soul and opens up this very sensitive subject about souls and forgiveness!  I hope this video helps those affected, let go of the unnecessary guilt that they hold.

Lora writes:

Someone very close to my heart passed away a short while ago and I was distant from him for 2 years…for 2 years I avoided him because of selfish reasons.  I saw him not long before his passing and I know he wanted to talk to me , but again I decided to hide instead of facing him.  Then the next thing I hear about him is that he died. This broke my heart.  Sometimes I feel like I don’t have a right to be brokenhearted because I ignored him.  He didn’t do anything wrong. I have so much regret!  So my question is do​ spirits forgive us ?  Do they hold grudges?  Is he mad at​ me?
