It took me a long time (3 years and counting) to hear my Mom's whispers. I've been struggling with a lot of regret, and it's a huge part of what has been weighing me down. But now I can hear her as clearly as I hear anyone else, whispering "I forgive you, forgive yourself". At first I had to repeat it like a mantra all day, but most days now I only have to say "You forgive me, I am forgiven" a few times and the heavy-heartedness lifts and allows me to get on with a more contented, happy day. It's definitely been a much-needed gift from her. And I can sometimes smell her, or sense her presence in the room with me now, where I couldn't before. Much cherished moments that melt all too quickly.
