Death by destruction Death by destruction

Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth, Hold on to what it is you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself, Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here, Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go, Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

Unknown

The female voice on the other end of the phone sounded weak, even inaudible at times as she stuttered her words when she spoke. ‘I just heard your interview on the radio.

You were giving readings to listeners on air and I liked the feedback you received from the callers. I really would like a reading. I’m very sad at the moment—can you see me as soon as possible?’

Fortunately, I did have a gap the following week. To this day, I don’t recall her name, only the circumstances of the reading. For ease of reference I’ll call her Ruby, and her son Jacob.

Dying for peace

‘Welcome Ruby, please come inside—that’s your chair over there,’ I said, pointing to a large yellow leather lounge chair. Her small frame seemed to be lost as she positioned herself comfortably.

Obviously very nervous, her little hands were still shaking as I explained how I conducted my sessions. ‘I will need you to pass me something that belongs to you, like a ring, watch, car keys or perhaps a pen. It must belong to you. This is called psychometry, and by holding and feeling the object I am able to tune into your vibrations. That’s how I do your reading. I don’t use tarot cards.’

Ruby gave me her round-faced gold watch and the information followed rapidly. Suddenly I was aware of a male presence standing behind Ruby’s chair.

‘Ruby, there’s a young man standing behind you—he’s rather tall and lean, with dark hair, with what looks like a priest’s collar around his neck. He’s telling me he committed suicide. I see him standing at the top of a cliff, and he points to the rocks below. I can see large ocean waves pounding onto the foreshore. He tells me his depression was so great, he felt lost with no direction. His pain was too great—he felt he didn’t belong, didn’t fit into society.

His heartache was unbearable. I sense one of his issues concerned his sexuality—that he was gay and never had the courage to acknowledge this to his family or to himself.’

Silently in my mind I asked him if this was the case, and he nodded. He explained he didn’t have the courage to tell his mother, least anyone else in the family. ‘They were so religious, how would they be able to cope with this as well as my depression?’ he said.

He felt his only option was to take his life, believing this would release him from the demons that haunted him. True, that day I was the psychic medium bringing the message from a loved one to someone dear, but as a mother, my heart went out to Ruby.
