The reading was done over the phone with a woman I had never met, who lived 500 km from me. There was no way she could possibly have known anything about me other than my name. To begin she drew a few cards and said a couple of things I’ve now forgotten. Then, she suddenly paused and said, “I’m getting a name; does the name David mean anything to you?” Of course I said yes and, overwhelmed with emotion, explained about my friend.
She told me David was with her, and wanted to give me a message. The message was, “Thank you, thank you, for being such a wonderful friend”. “Thank you so much! I really needed to hear that”, I told Betty. I asked if David was alright, and she said yes, he wanted me to know he was OK, and that he was also saying, “You were right. Death is NOT the end”.
There were other messages too, such as, “Thanks for the flowers”, which I watered every day while thinking of him. I’ve never had flowers that grew like that, before or since. It was an incredible display. There is no way Betty could possibly have known about that.

I thanked Betty for the messages, telling her how much it meant to me, and she replied, “No Jane, I’m picking him up through you. You are extremely psychic, and David has been with you since he died, because you are the only one who can hear him".
I had often felt him around (I still do), and heard him speaking to me in my mind. One night I even felt him touch my hand. This experience changed my life in many ways and there is one thing I now know absolutely: while suicide may not be the ideal solution to a problem, there is never any punishment for it. It does not generate negative karma, as many people believe. The person who suicides is treated no differently to anyone else, except that there may be a healing after transition.
David, who had been so miserable, is now happy and healed. I know it helps people to have some understanding of where they’re going after transition. Otherwise, they just start to project their beliefs, which, once we’re out of the body, manifest instantaneously. That’s why David wanted to thank me: I’d given him some idea of what to expect once he had transitioned and realised death was not “nothing".
On the other hand, it’s those left behind who suffer, and many go on to suicide themselves. I will never forget seeing David’s grandchildren at his funeral (he was a very young grandfather). Watching as tears poured down his two year old grandson’s cheeks was heart wrenching. I know most people would say this little boy was too young to understand what was happening, but it was obvious he was absolutely devastated.
I just want to be clear here: I’m not an advocate for suicide. It causes great pain and confusion for “survivors”, and for that reason, it’s not a choice I’d recommend.
I originally wrote this message (somewhat altered here) as a response to a question in an online forum. I've posted it here in the hope it may be of assistance to others.
Your comments, as always, are most welcome.
