“Hey Mama, I’m Still Here”—Connecting with Jordy Beyond the Veil

By Dehyana

Do you believe you can connect with your loved ones on the other side? Maybe you’ve felt their presence, heard their voice in a quiet moment, or caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye. In my last blog, I shared my belief in the afterlife. Today, I want to share something deeply personal: the immediate and ongoing connection I’ve had with my daughter Jordy since her passing.

This is my openhearted sharing of our journey, an experience that has been eye-opening, comforting and full of hope.

The First Signs: An Angel’s Message

Shortly after Jordy passed, once the initial shock began to sink in, I clearly heard her voice say, “Mama, go get the angel I gave you 20 years ago and put it on your altar.” I’d carried that angel with me for years, almost forgetting it existed. I found it in the most unlikely place—the downstairs bathroom!

The angel carries a beautiful quote from Abraham Lincoln: “All I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel, my Mother.” I’d taken those words for granted all these years, but now, they meant everything to me. As I held that angel in my hands, tears flowed.

Immediate Connections Through Signs

That evening, as I stood in front of the altar, the crystal globe electric light flickered off and on! This had never happened in all the years I’ve had that light. Immediately I knew Jordy was with me. (Our loved ones in spirit world often use electricity to catch our attention, one of their favourite tools!)

I spoke to her right away asking her how she was and she replied, “I’m shocked. I can’t believe it actually happened.” She sounded confused, almost like she didn’t know or remember what she did or where she was. It seemed as though she was in a fog. But her first words to me were an apology: “I’m so sorry, Mama. Please forgive me.”

Jordy’s New Journey

In the days and weeks that followed, Jordy shared more. She told me she was met by my late husband which was later confirmed by a psychic medium in California who knew nothing about our family. From there, she was led by her guides and other familiar friends and loved ones to a peaceful place surrounded by pine trees, a lake, and cabins. A very familiar scene reminiscent of northern Canada. Jordy loved nature. Starfish, frogs, dolphins and whales and anything in the water, the stars, the moon, and all of Mother Earth’s gifts. She always saw the spirit in everything. (Jordy visited Malaysia years ago she was told by ‘Akong, a medium’ that she was Neptunes daughter!)

To her delight, Jordy’s golden retriever Ruby, who passed a few years ago, came running toward her. She said Ruby was there to comfort her as she came to terms with what she had done. She explained to me that the shock and confusion of her death by suicide meant she needed to ‘decompress’ by staying in a familiar, comforting space to adjust. She told me, “If I look different to you, it’s because I left my pain body behind. I can’t even think of that body now. Here I am pain free.”

“If I look different to you, it’s because I left my pain body behind. I can’t even think of that body now. Here I am pain free.”

The Healing Process in the Spirit World

In one connection, Jordy shared glimpses of her life review. She described seeing snippets of her life and the ripple effects of her actions. It was overwhelming and deeply humbling for her, but she was being supported by loving guides. She was also shown what her life might have looked like had she chosen a different path, and went on to say that it was a profound lesson for her soul.

Jordy often visits me when I sit in quiet meditation, and other times she shows up out of the blue when I least expect it. She always greets me just as she did when she was alive, with her usual ‘Hey, Mama.’

Another time she shared with me that she’s in therapy, learning and healing alongside other spirit friends who also took their own lives. She described recovery homes and counselling circles, similar to those we have here on earth. She seemed much happier and more at peace.

In one of my vivid encounters she was standing in the middle of a pool of water with a fountain raining down on her from the edges. She called it a purification pool. In another, she appeared surrounded by a green aura of light. When I asked her about it, she said, “Over here, light is used for healing all the time. The green light is to help me heal emotional pain, but others have different colours depending on their needs.” I immediately thought of the heart chakra, represented by green.

Continuing Connections and Visits

One day, Jordy appeared in a beautiful peasant styled mint-green dress speckled with tiny violet tulips, her hair cascading in waves with the sides pulled back. She even raised her leg to show me her purple high heels. She loved shoes! I couldn’t help but laugh. She was always a girly girl who loved pretty things. Our loved ones often show themselves as we remember them in life, and that moment made my heart smile.

Jordy would’ve turned 39 on January 30th. She was my Aquarian sweetie pie, compassionate, a rebel at heart, and full of love. True to her zodiac sign, she was a humanitarian who didn’t want to be boxed in. I imagine that as she continues her healing journey in spirit world and reviews her entire life, she will be guided toward her next lifetime when she is ready to play a new role on earth.

It’s been nearly four months since Jordy’s death and her message has been consistent: “I’m sorry, please forgive me, and I love you.” She reminds me that she is at peace and that our connection is eternal.

Over the weeks, Jordy has also shared that those on the other side, whether they died by suicide or not, hope and pray for their loved ones on earth to forgive them for their transgressions. And for those of us still living we ask to be forgiven.

Understanding Life Beyond

Each of us holds the innate ability to connect with our loved ones on the other side. It’s a sacred gift we can develop through openness, love, and trust. In these transformative times, as we usher in the golden age, the veils between worlds are growing thinner. Connecting with those who have passed is simpler than we realise. Just think of them with love. Love is the ultimate “attractor factor.” Trust that they will find a way to show you they are still near, gently reminding you that love never ends.

A Message of Love and Forgiveness

Since Jordy’s passing, I’ve experienced this firsthand and in so many ways. In my quietest moments, or when I’m not thinking anything at all, I feel her. Sometimes it’s a song playing at just the right time, a sudden, undeniable knowing, or a gentle nudge in my soul that says, “I’m here, Mom.” Please know that these encounters are not mere coincidences; they are love reaching through the veil. I share them with you in the hope that they bring comfort, that they remind you…love never ends.

Your loved ones are with you, too. Be open, listen, trust. They will find a way to show you they have never truly left.

A Message from Jordy

“Hey Mama,”

I’m still here, closer than you think. I see you, I feel your love, and I’m with you in every quiet moment when you pause to remember me. Please don’t doubt that I’m okay now because I’ve let go of all the pain I carried, and I want you to do the same.

“Please don’t doubt that I’m okay now because
I’ve let go of all the pain I carried, and I want you to do the same.”

Thank you for forgiving me, Mama. I didn’t know how to reach for the light when I was there, but I see it so clearly now. I’m learning so much, healing in ways I didn’t think were possible. The love we share is the thread that keeps me strong, and I’m using that love to grow.

Ruby’s here with me, wagging her tail like crazy, and Dad A is always near, keeping an eye on me. There’s so much beauty where I am…it’s peaceful, Mama, like the northern woods we both loved.

You were my greatest teacher, and you still are. I owe everything to your love and guidance. Keep talking to me, keep laughing when you hear my voice saying, ‘Hey Mama,’ because I’ll keep showing up for you. And don’t forget, you’re stronger than you know, and you’ve still got so much magic left to share with the world.

I love you forever and beyond,
Jordy 💚
