I recently received the following question on my blog: Hello, I’ve been drawn to all things spiritual since I was very young. A main reason is my mother. She was a spiritual lady. She passed away last year, and I have been left grieving the gaping void left in my life.  Sometimes I feel like I connected with her in a dream, but I’m unsure about what I should believe. I need encouragement that death isn’t the end of everything, and that she’s indeed here. I’m confused, and I’m not sure who I should trust.
