Jennifer, I can tell you this. My family lost, the parents first child, my older Sister Virginia in 1983, also a D.U.I victim, she was only 28. Approximately one year following our loss, I had fallen asleep, I was awakened by *finger nails* scrathing on the room's sliding glass door, I arose only to witnesse a ray/beam of light pass thru the door and move east to exit the homes metal front door. I did not feel at all unnerved. The next morning I shared the experience with my Mother, and myself having forgot what she then was to speak..."It's Giner's (short for Virginia) birthday today". From that moment on my healing process had begun.
For the record, the only other paranormal experience I had was upon rerturning home from hospital...for many days following on my exercise walks, I kept hearing..."Michael" and "Hey Mike", just to turn and see nobody there.
