‘He Wants You to Be Happy’
Dear Maribeth,
Is Trevor watching over me?
(My boyfriend died two and a half years ago, I loved him more than anything. Sometimes I think he’s there and I want to know for sure.)
I’m so sorry about your loss. Death is such a difficult experience to understand. It’s cool that you feel Trevor’s presence, I’m sure you are not imagining it. We all have the ability to sense energy that is there even if we can’t see it. Sometimes if you close your eyes it helps you to tune in with your other senses. By eliminating visual stimulation, your other senses are heightened. You may hear a message, smell a familiar fragrance, feel something brush by you or even tune into your sixth sense, that of intuition. You know that one when you get a funny feeling in your gut, sometimes accompanied by goose bumps! Here is your reading.
The Queen of Swords came up first, followed by the 7 of Swords and 8 of Swords. 3 of the same suit, I think that is the first time that has happened here at TarotTalk! Swords are the suit of struggle. These cards show that this has obviously been a very difficult time for you; your life has been very sad since he’s been gone.
Notice in the Queen of Cups there are many symbols of freedom. There is a tassel hanging from her wrist that shows she has cut loose from the ties that bound her. The butterflies on her crown remind you to let go of what was. The free bird above her head looks like Trevor flying high above, watching over you. He wants you to be happy. He doesn’t want you to suffer or die with him; you must continue to live.
The 7 of Swords looks like you are stuck in a rut of your feelings. It’s as though you’ve gotten in the habit of being sad and forget happiness is a choice you could try. No one can ever fully understand how you feel, and no one can change what has happened no matter how unfair it is. The only thing that you can change is how you deal with it. It’s time to put down those swords, hold your chin up and begin your future.
The 8 of Swords shows a woman blindfolded and tied. It’s as though she cannot think about what is next in her life, she is afraid to hope or dream. She is being held back by her own thought patterns. Those swords all around her are actually her mind trapping her in an uncomfortable space. It is time for you to start thinking about the rest of your life and how to make it the best for you.
Trevor is watching over you, he is a part of you and always there. Show him that you can recover, know that he is with you, and make him proud. When you are at ease you will feel his energy even more powerfully. Happy healing, dear heart.
