A very unexpected visitor came in my sleep last night. Yes another visit from the other side of the veil. But this one, I had never requested or even thought of.
He was the husband of one of my dearest and closest friends. He came to see me, I guess, because he was so sad that his wife died several years ago. I believe he knew how I loved her. I suppose I was a likely choice to share his grief with since I grieve her loss, too.
The thing is, he died several years before she did.
So in my waking, I’ve tried to reason this oddity. I’m afraid, the only explanation I can come up with is disturbing.
Is it possible that this man does not realize that he has died? Is he stuck in that nether-world?
If he comes to me again, I hope I can help him move on. I hope he can let go of the grief and join her and his other loved ones who have passed over.

As a toddler, Sue Baumgardner made up stories for herself looking at books she could not read and later spun tales for her younger sisters. After she had her own children, she told them tales and eventually wove a new pattern into the fabric of their lives. As the three sat together, one would begin with a story idea of her own. She spoke perhaps a paragraph or two or three, then pointed to the next who would take up the thread and continue with her own evolution of the story line passed to her, until she pointed to the next. The third person wove her own ideas into the story progression. After the three each had a turn, anyone could end the story, in their turn, whenever it felt complete to them.
After her children were adults, Sue studied writing, first poetry and then prose. After six semesters in adult education, she was thoroughly hooked on the story art form. Sue continued with dozens of classes, seminars and writing retreats. She studied writing and publishing under the likes of James Patterson, Peter Behrens, and Mark Dawson.
As a contributor to the Discover Maine Magazine, Sue received her first check for her prose.
Her poetry has been published in The Aurorian.
She has six of her paperbacks along with four ebooks published. They include fiction and nonfiction for adults and fiction for Middle Readers.
Her very first publishing though began with Greeting Card Universe, where Sue’s greeting cards with verse are sold across the world.
