A description of the experience
Nuda Veritas – Clare Sheridan
I returned to England, arriving home at midnight, and Wilfred met me; he could not speak, but led me to the sick- room. It was half dark, they had tried to hide her from me. She was so wrapped up in blankets, but I saw enough. There was no hope-it was meningitis.
At that moment something happened inside me; I think my heart broke.
On the seventh day of watching and waiting, at the seventh hour, after a frightful night, I fell into a deep sleep. It coincided with the hour of her passing over.
It was then that my spirit joined hers and accompanied her safely to the edge of the world . . . .such a sad little child had gone back to laugh and play among the happy spirit children. So beautiful she was, such golden-red curls, so fragrant, like sweet spring scents. Such deep eyes she had, the blue of Heaven.
She is not dead, she lives for ever in my heart.
