Sadness, passing and synchronicity

by Linda
(Norton, Ohio)

I am very sensitive to other people feeling sad. I felt such an overwhelming sadness, like desperate depression. I couldn't shake how strong the feeling was so I called my aunt. Her birthday, her daughter's birthday, and my son's are all the same day. I ended up talking to her mother. She was the one I needed to speak to about my sadness. She lifted me up and I hung up the phone feeling better. Two days later she was admitted to the hospital for her lungs. The nurse left the room to get her meds and came back when her heart was in full arrest. She passed that day. Her calling hours ended up being the same day that my father and my grandmother passed away, years apart from each other.
