About 2 weeks ago I had the benefit of revisiting Weirdville for a few nights ...
 
My mom's dog ZeeZee had died suddenly and painfully. He has been my mothers closest companion in the manner that faithful four-footed kin can be for 8 years. His lungs had collapse and there was nothing my mother could do for him except cry and pray that he would make it through the night so she could rush him to the vet in the morning. She had kept an all night vigil, holding him and praying but eventually exhaustion over took her and she briefly fell asleep .... during her sleep ZeeZee passed. When she woke to find her beloved friend dead the grief was huge.
 
I had a restless and fitfull sleep that night at home. I didn't know why, but I knew something, somewhere had gone wrong ... I didn't know in which direction to look, eventually I settled back into dreamlessness. I got the call the next day and tried to comfort my mom as best as I could, then passed the news onto Bren.
 
Thats when things really started getting weird ... she called my mom and the two of them grieved together (kidlet has a very special & close bond with her grandmother ... and loved the dog herself) and eventually called it a night. Once my kidlet had gone to sleep I started hearing things, like sighs and something moving around in the other room. Sitting here in the silence of my home I chose to sit here at my desk and try to ignore it ... I knew that there was high emotions at the time and figured could easily be attributed to that considering the relationship between my mom and daughter.... however, what was harder to ignore was the shadows. For the first 2 days/nights shadows moved and flicked past my sight and down the hall ... cooking supper, watching a movie or working at the computer, it didn't matter ... slips of dark shadow slid past my sight or moved behind me causing me to turn and look. Slightly unnerving to say the least.
 
Thankfully this only last about 3 days tops .... the amount of time it took for the raw grief to pass through my child before it settled into somber sadness for the loss of the dog and her grandmother's grief. What makes me very curious is this: was the manifestations a result of my mother & daughter connecting on a psychic wave-length (one that cracked the veil) or is this a hint of those puberty induced poltergeist events? or was it something else?
 
Hmmm
