More on Isidra and Angel

I met Isidra during a Reiki review that Jean Ferris, Reiki Master was offering her students at the Proyecto Santos Nino Clinic in Anapra, Mexico this past December. Everyone present wrote up an experience of Reiki and then we all drew them from a box. I drew Isidra's experience. Eva Dominguez translated them for the group. Isidra stated her life had become filled with miracles regarding Angel, her 26 year old handicapped son. She was so filled with gratitude for Reiki and for Jean and this wonderful teaching.

I had placed the experience on my refrigerator and had added Angel's photo to it. Sister Carol had texted me from the clinic the other day, as the mothers were giving Isidra a Reiki treatment. So, I took this photo and sent it to Sister Carol, so she could show Isidra that I was thinking of her. Later in the morning and after her treatment, Isidra stated she had seen Angel and he was wearing white robes and looked very peaceful. She felt relieved and less saddened by his death.

It was nice of Sister Carol to make a connection with me that day and so I could send this photo to Isidra. Angel will be cremated and  have a funeral. Again, the Sisters of Charity, impact the lives of these devoted mothers and assist them through their grieving processes.

Angel Passes to a New Realm

Word has come to me this morning that Isidra's 26 year old son, Angel has been freed of his human bondage. Over Christmas he received blessings from Father Denny and it was on this day that I met Angel. Isidra had pulled him to a standing position so that he could receive the blessing. His severe spasticity allowed this to take place, while the spasticity was markedly the worst I have seen. His legs were severely scissored in a crossed fashion, yet with the love and pride of a mother Isidra made certain that he would stand for this event.

In January, I helped Isidra bathe, dress, stretch out his limbs and give him a Reiki treatment. I watched her treat her son with kindess, gentleness and provide him with lots of love. She spoke to him with a soft, gentle voice, explaining to him what we were doing, encouraging him and sometimes teasing him. On some level, he seemed to understand, while he did not have any speech, he occationally smiled. His lungs were quite congested at the time and apparently they had gotten worse. Pulmonary complications seems to be the number one cause of deaths with the children.

"Remarkable", resounds, when I think of this mother and child. Isidra kept this child alive for 26 years under extreme and sub standard living conditions. It has only been a few years that they have been coming to the clinic, but during this time the quality of their lives has improved greatly, thanks to all the efforts of the Sisters of Charity.

I know in my heart that Isidra is grieving, so I will be sending them Reiki today. May the heavenly dieties bestow their blessings on Isidra and her son, Angel. They have gained much merit in this lifetime and hopefully in Angel's next incarnation he will have a much easier life.

While their lives were very difficult, Isidra was the epitome of living a life full of love. As I comptemplate a "mother's love", I will forever reflect on Isidra and Angel. They have touched my life in a way that no other has done.
