Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 Dear List Members. Many thanks for laying bare my daughter's chart. It is very humbling to see that I'm not in control as I'd like to think. All of you have helped me tremendously by saying so unerringly what caused her demise.I am truly humbled. I have to accept that it was her time to go.Ulimately it is all His wish.You see the head understands but the heart disagrees vehemently. As so many of you commented it was a karmic relationship. Sriranjani was the daughter I always wanted-those were my words to the doctor when he put her in my arms as soon as she was born. In the short span of 12 yrs she accomplished much. Learnt piano and classical Indian dancing for 7 yrs, started doing pre-calculus in 7th Grade, learnt to ice-skate, play tennis, rode bikes, rollerblade, learnt to speak french fluently, friendly to a fault, very kind,very talented- musically inclined in instrumental music but strangely not in vocal music, had asthma from birth, was near sighted and above all wanted to be an astronaut. She wrote in her brother's autograph book-"Hey DJ see you for life, Love Ranji". Tell me is this the thinking of a 12 yr old girl? It is as if she knew her time had come.I know for a fact that she was with us in spirit form until Oct 21st of 97. That night her brother cried himself to sleep begging for his sister and bringing on his own asthma. We did not know what to do because he was so inconsolable and incoherent in his grief. We were drowning ourselves But this thought suddenly popped in my head about her jacket and her baby pillow. I rushed to get them and covered Dj with her jacket.Hugging her baby pillow to his heart and snuggling inside her jacket this child who had cried nonstop for almost 2 hours was fast asleep within seconds.That night, a prayer came from deep within me 'Dear God, I have entrusted my child to You, please keep her safe and happy."Ranji appeared in my dream that morning and gave me a big hug and said some things about my daily routine and other details that only I know. Those days,I think, if I had only over come my fears of death and limited thinking I could have made contact with my dead child. Even on the day of her death I could clearly hear her voice on the right side of my head "Mom I am OK".She has appeared in my dreams steadily until december of last year.She has faded away now. She answered 3 questions for me about her death, after her death in my dreams1.why did she die, was her death timely?2.would her death have happened in the US? 1-Yes, she had to go because her insides were all messed up. 2- Yes. 3. when I told her that I miss her with every pore of my being, she said that she is as close to me as my thoughts. Also in, answer to my 2nd question, in march 2001, she put me in touch with a family- total strangers, whose tragedy eerily parallels mine. This family lost their 14 yr old son TJ to asthma. he breathed his last in his mother's arms just blocks away from his house rather suddenly and his father was away just like in my case. And what is the connection between our two families - her husband had hired my husband in 1992, sight unseen when my husband was away in India attending his father's funeral. And when I talked to TJ"'s Mother the first thing she said after hearing my story, that she has seen my daughter in her dreams and described Ranji to me. We have not met personally yet but we have exchanged a few pictures of our precious children. The death of a child is the most horrific thing for a parent to undergo. The whole universal order is turned upside down. And you die a lttle each day. After reading all your emails I have to recondition my thinking that Ranji,Tj,Michael's death are part of His great design but try telling your heart that.I cannot see anything joyful past my grief My world is shattered and nothing makes sense anymore.We live for our son, literally breathing Ranji's name.My dead child's chart was my obsession even that has been laid threadbare.Iam terribly disillusioned and have to accept that it is all in the stars.Like flies are we to the gods, they kill us for their sport.Regards jayshree.
