My brother in law died the other night in his sleep. he was very much in the word of God but had serious mind problems. he was sick for a long time. once he died we have been getting a ton of signs that he is ok. ever since then everyone that he had touched is trying to turn their ways. he had such an impact on us. right before he died he wrote,"God has a purpose for me." now we long to know what we r here for. its very strange the feeling we have all had. do u think he can contact us if he has passed? bc we think we have gotten so many messages from him since he died. -- Kala

Dearest Kala,

May the soul of your brother-in-law dwell in the peace and light of God's love.

Transitions are times of great change for departed souls. Some take a while to be able to know who they are and where they are during a gradual period of reorientation that is necessary before being able to move forward or to communicate with those they have left behind on the Earth.

Other souls do not find this stage to be such a large step between their physically embodied life and their new life in spirit. These are often souls who have lived a good portion of their lives with one foot in each dimension, so to speak, and who have felt comfortable even while physically embodied with the world of God's reality.

Your brother-in-law appears to have been such a soul, and his transition therefore has been more gentle than most, with more of a sense of connection with himself and his new surroundings. This is because his sense of oneness with the spiritual realms did not really leave him while he was embodied. As a result, he is more quickly able to feel the goodness and joy of returning to his spiritual home, and more able to communicate with you and those he loves in ways that convey his emotional or energetic presence. This communication has the effect of letting you know that he is alright.

One who knows that God has a purpose for him also knows that that purpose is being fulfilled both while alive in a body and after leaving that body. This is true in this instance. Your loved one is moving forward with his spiritual purpose which involves both his ongoing relationship with those he loves, as well as his own greater knowledge of himself as a being of light.

Relationships with loved ones do not end when a loved one leaves the physical body. Indeed, this can be the beginning of a new and expanded relationship and of communications and exchanges that were not possible while one was incarnated within a body. Allow your family to know that all is well, and rest in the understanding that the realms of light and love are holding this dear soul in love as he makes further progress with his transition into the light.
