G,

One day early last year I was on the first day of my 2 week holidays. I was feeling a bit overworked and needed to be able to unwind so that I could enjoy the time off. I had work to prepare for my next round of classes in a couple of weeks but I had decided that this was going to be a "do nothing and relax" day.

The problem was I couldn't seem to relax. It was like I had ants in my pants. I couldn't sit still, I couldn't read my book, I tried watching a tv show I enjoy and I couldn't focus. Finally I made the decision that if I couldn't relax I might as well do some work, so I went in and sat at my work desk and as soon as I sat down the phone rang.

It was my brother-in-law telling me that my Mum had died suddenly and unexpectedly. That explained to me why I had that "ants in the pants" feeling.

My Mum and I always had a really good psychic connection, and my sister and I as well, although since we grew up not as strong as between Mum & I. I always knew that Mum would let me know when she had passed over. Because I was overwrought anyway the message didn't come through clearly - there was too much static in my brain, but I was getting something which was making me jumpy and I couldn't clarify the message.

I woke up in the early hours of the morning knowing that my Grandma was just about to pass over, and I homed in her mentally/psychically and couldn't work out why I was looking down at her from about ceiling height, but then she "came" back down to the bed and passed over not long after that.

I also woke up when one of my beloved cats died in the veterinary hospital at 4am.
