my grandson

[patti virnelson]

my grandson when he first started to talk
would point to the door or other areas of the house and ask who that man is. there would be no one there. He used to say he could see angels. Last night he said grandma,
i have died before. he said me and my father
drowned when the boat they were in sunk. he said the water turned to ice and the boat hit it and sunk. my grandson is four years old. please anyone give me some advice

Wow Patti. My one piece of advice is to listen to him. Children are very wise. It's so easy to put off their truth's as an overactive imagination, but I very highly doubt that that is what this is.

When you wrote (that he said), "i have died before. he said me and my father
drowned when the boat they were in sunk. he said the water turned to ice and the boat hit it and sunk.", it immediately reminded me of the Titanic. Of how they were going across the water, hit an iceburg ('water turned into ice'), and sunk. I'm not talking about the movie here, I'm talking about the real life event. I know another man who remembers being on that boat, and started having panic attacts when all of the water started rushing in (It was like he was reliving the whole thing).

Hope All's Well. Best to you and yours,
Take Care, -Kat

Hi Patti welcome to the forum. I would also say listen really carefully to what your grandson says but I would also add that it is really helpful if you keep a really detailed diary of everything...what he says, where, when, how he seems in terms of his personal behaviour etc etc. It may be that he just says one or two things but sometimes the memories are present over quite a long period of time and although you are sure that you will remember it is helpful to record everything as soon after as is possible. I think above all believe in him...let him know that you are listening and that he can trust you to take seriously what he says.
Have you read Caroles book? It really is so very helpful and for me it provided the turning point in being able to help my daughter with her past life memories which were causing her to have major temper tantrums the like of which you would not wish to see!!
Good luck.
Keep in touch with everyone here..it is so good to be able to speak to other people who understand.
With love and light.

Dear Patti,

I am so glad you found this site. I am also glad that you are the grandmother to this child. Because you have posted here shows that you want to understand and do what is best for your grandson.

What you posted sounds much like my own son. My son is now 7, but at a very young age he was incredibly intuitive (recognized spirits, had premonitions, and knew things about people just by touching them). He also recalled a past life but his memory of that time was very loving therefore he brought no trauma with him into this life. I think that is why his intuitive abilities were the strongest (just my feelings on this.)

What English Rose said is very wise and true. Please get Carol's book if at all possible. It was not available to me when my son and I began this journey. But I did keep a journal and still do.

You did not mention if your grandson lives with you or not. If he does not, then it will be very important that you show his parents how very special this child is. English Rose said that it was important to believe him when he speaks and I think that is the cornerstone.

If we, as grownups, show our children that we believe in them; then we lay the foundation for which these children will know to trust themselves later on in life. Lets face it; if they are seeing, hearing and understanding these things at such an early age, what will they be able to see, hear and understand later on? And what we teach them now (believing in yourself) will play a big part on the type of life (world) they choose to create.

Your grandson came into this life knowing you would be his grandmother. Heaven knew you would be the right person to provide and nurture him. Take this gift and wrap it beautifully Patti.

Blessings,
