Visitor from Beyond?

My sister-in-law, living in the final stages of Alzheimer's disease, recently lost her mother, who lived with her in the same assisted-living facility. Since her mother's death, she has not been herself...very tired all day and wanting only to sleep. Her caregiver feels her mother is visiting her based on her own experience. (Her mother visited her for years after her unexpected death.) Others have shared their stories with me of being visited by long-time spouses, siblings, parents, or grandparents for sometime after the person's death. To help my sister-in-law, I did a moon phase reading using my native american animal cards. This reading can help balance your inner spirituality. Interestingly, my sister-in-law's reading was so true to her....but the part that struck us most was her central card, the hawk, and the message that she needs to draw on inner courage of which she is not yet aware. As her mother was incredibly tough, strong, and courageous to the point to alienating those around her, it seems to fit that she may be visiting her daughter and reaching out to help her gain the courage she needs to endure the hardships of this debilitating disease. We will see today if she is getting some rest now.....
