Nicole,

Reading your response was like taking a look at my past in so many ways. I’m 58. Aside from getting old and decrepit, I love my 50’s, because so many of the fears and worries I had in my 30’s and especially my 40’s are no longer issues.

I think most mothers have the same fears you have. I know I did. And like you, I was always trying to take on someone else’s problems in my family. It took a psychic telling me that I couldn’t fix everything in my family for me to release the guilt I had. She’d never met me before but knew so much about me.

We do the best we can in any given situation. When you do your best, there’s nothing more left to do. I haven’t always known how to channel. Once I started, however, I learned so much that made sense. Like you, I realized and understood things seemingly out of the blue. It all prepared me for what I’m doing now.

If you could hear the Angels like I do, I guarantee they would tell you to give yourself a break. If you haven’t already, consider reading my piece on what happens when you die. I’m not trying to plug my work, but maybe it’ll help you like it helped me to know that we all plan our own lives. Yes, reincarnation is very real. It takes many lifetimes to learn everything we need to learn. We’re not judged by anyone but ourselves, and we have as many chances as we need to get it right. There is no Hell for people, and God never gives up on us.

You’re at a point in your life right now where I’ll bet you’re wondering, “Is this my life? I just struggle and worry and never get ahead enough to find any peace of mind?” That’s what I went through in my 40’s and I read that’s very normal and typical.

It gets better, I promise. My kids are all grown now, and I’m happy to say I didn’t ruin them! I lost my husband to Parkinson’s several years ago, and I miss him. But I’m at peace now. Partly because of the Archangels I channel, but also because I’m not so overwhelmed. You’ll get there, too, honest. The Angels say to release all grief, as it serves no one. People are living out the life they planned for themselves. It’s good that we can’t “save them” from suffering, because that’s how we learn and get closer to God. If you ever have something on your mind, you can always email me at asktheangels222@gmail.com.

Blessings to you and your family.
