Several times throughout the day, I would come and go into
the living room, and each time I would glance at the painting we
had purchased, Strikes at Sunrise, and the thoughts would come,
Courage and strength. Indeed I then knew why I had been so
strongly encouraged to purchase it.
We were determined that we wanted Sharon to be surrounded
by friends and family, so Chris returned home from Austin, Texas.
Each evening for a week we had friends over who knew Sharon. On
one of these occasions, several of our friends who practiced Reiki
came over to our home. I asked if they would be willing to do Reiki
for Sharon, and they all agreed. We spent one hour administering
Reiki to Sharon. I was at the head of her bed with my hands over
her head area, and the others put their hands over the rest of her
body. I could feel the heat from my hands on Sharon s face. I closed
my eyes and saw a boxing ring with people seated around the ring.
The boxers began to fight. All of a sudden they both fell backward,
the people in the area were gone, and there were empty seats. The

thought came to me, Give up the fight. After the session I asked
the others if they had gotten any information, and the only thing
they could relate was that Sharon wanted to be hugged and cuddled.
I took their advice and spent each day for about an hour or more
just lying in her hospital bed with her. One day as I lay there next
to her with our arms intertwined, I had the overwhelming feeling
that this was just like giving birth to her. I felt I was helping her
cross over into a new life. There were definite stages to her passing.
Sometimes her face would get very red, and she would sweat. At
other times she would shake, but these stages were very brief. Her
medications were adjusted and these reactions disappeared.
It was Christmas Day, Ron and I attended to Sharon since the
caregivers had plans for Christmas. It was a special day for us. We
each spent time with her individually lying down with her and
talking to her. Even though there were no visible signs of recognition
on her part, I felt she could hear us.
Ron and I got little sleep, and this process was taking its toll
physically and especially emotionally. It was very hard to watch our
daughter die, but I knew it was the right thing for us to do. She had
given me the message she did not want to return, and I needed to
abide by her wishes.
Chris did some shamanic journeying to see if he could reach
Sharon. When he journeyed, he found Sharon sitting on a throne
surrounded by African artifacts. Sharon moved the throne, and
around the corner was a brilliant white light coming down from
above. She asked Chris if he wanted to step into it. At first he was
hesitant, but then later agreed. He said it was like an elevator, and
the light brought him up, and in a distance he could see all these
people waiting, and he thought they were waiting for Sharon. He
mentioned to Sharon he had felt guilty about not journeying more
to her. Sharon put her finger on his lips and said, No need to be

sorry. The practice of journeying was more for you.
Ron s cousin, Brenda, called us from Connecticut. She also had
been able to reach Sharon through journeying and meditation. We
had asked her to ask Sharon if there was anything she needed from
us now. She did journey and called back the following evening. The
information she gave me was that Sharon wanted me to walk her
into the light. Not knowing how exactly I could accomplish this,
I thanked her for the information and was determined to spend
more time just lying down with her and letting her know it was
okay for her to walk into the light.
On Friday, December 27, I awoke from a light sleep and felt
there was a presence in the bedroom. Out of my peripheral vision
I thought I saw Sharon dressed in a long white dress. I looked in
that direction, and it was gone. Also that day I kept getting the
information that we should sit down and watch the video we had of
Sharon and the family together at the Oregon Coast and in Central
Oregon. I was reluctant to do this, because I felt it would make
me cry and one of the caregivers was there at the time and I didn t
want to cry in front of her. Later that same day, I still kept getting
the message I needed to view the video, and so I decided to do so.
