A few years ago I did a private reading for a lady who lived near Liverpool. Her name was Anne. Arriving for the session, Anne seemed very calm, serene and generally very pleasant. I sensed she was quite a happy woman at heart. But I could also feel that there had been some great sadness in her life.

When the reading began, I quite quickly made a connection with a man who seemed to be trying to get in contact with Anne. I sensed he had passed over in very sudden, violent circumstances.

It turned out to be her husband, Ronnie.

The reading was quite short but extremely powerful. He wanted to let her know that he was all right and that he loved her. But there was one message that he was really pushing me to get across to Anne.

`I don't know if you will understand this, but your husband is telling me that he thinks the greatest thing you did was to forgive that man,' I told her. `Does that mean anything?'

`Yes, it does,' she said, her composure suddenly gone as she began dabbing away at her eyes.

`And he is telling me that the fact you did it to his face made it an even greater thing,' I went on.

`Yes,' Anne said quietly.

He ended his message by telling her that he was very, very proud of what she had done.

`Thank you,' she said at the end of the reading. `That's what I travelled all this way hoping to hear.'

As we chatted afterwards, she told me the terrible story that lay behind this.

A year or so earlier Ronnie had been walking home from work, just as he did every night of the week. On this particular night, however, he had been jumped on by a man with a knife. The attacker had stabbed him, snatched his briefcase and then run off leaving Ronnie lying bleeding in the street. By the time the emergency services had come to his aid, he had bled to death.

It was a hideous crime, made even more awful by the fact that the thief had escaped with a briefcase which contained nothing more than £20 and a pocket calculator.

Ronnie's death had devastated Anne, naturally. She had, like so many people who suffer a loss like this, felt a mixture of shock, anger and hatred towards the perpetrator. He had destroyed not only the life of a loving husband, but hers and that of Ronnie's family too. Ronnie's killer was beyond contempt, as far as she was concerned.

The crime shocked the local community and the police were quickly able to arrest the man responsible. He was brought to trial and found guilty. He was sentenced to life in prison.

Anne attended the trial, even though it brought back such harrowing memories. It took a lot of courage to do so, she admitted to me.

She was there at the end when the judge sentenced her husband's killer to life in jail. But it was at the climax of the legal process, when others would have been rejoicing in the fact that justice had been done, that she did something that acknowledged Ronnie and the kind of man he was.

`As he was being taken out of the court he turned and looked at me,' she said. `He had this real pleading look on his face. I knew what it meant. He wanted me to forgive him.'

Anne was honest enough to admit that it was not in her make-up to do that. Ronnie, however, had been different. Anne had spent enough time thinking about Ronnie and the kind of man he was to know that he would have been able
to forgive.

So as the killer was led down into the cells beneath the courtroom, Anne looked at him and mouthed the three words he was begging her to say: `I forgive you.'

`I believe that was what Ronnie would have wanted me to do,' she told me. `That was his attitude, not mine. But I have almost had to take on his attitude to life and think that even the unforgivable should be forgiven.

`I said those words because I knew that unless I did I would never have moved on with my life,' she told me. `I am trying to be more like him. I am trying to keep his spirit alive.'

She left happy, knowing that she had done the right thing. Ronnie had approved of her actions. And she had kept his spirit alive.

Customer Reviews

life inspiring
I'm a working Psychic Medium but I'm also a plain old human being with questions and Colin's "The Message" helped me come to terms not only with my gift but with my own grieving process. There were phrases in it that really struck home like "sidestep the circumstances". Normally I can read a book in a day but this one slowed me down in time to think and assimilate. Thank you Colin.

A must have handbook for healing
I have seen Colin on stage several times but never read one of his books until now. Instead of finding the usual personal experience type of writing I found an amazing handbook full of practical, down-to-earth advice about handling bereavement written by a man who has phenomenal compassion. The book is easy to read, it isn't heavy handed or all doom and gloom, and I didn't find that it focussed me on the painful memories. Instead it takes the reader on a journey towards healing and emotional restoration. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to someone struggling to overcome grief.

Latest Book from Colin Fry
I bought this book having read Colins previous ones and seeing him perform live. This was of particular interest to me as I lost my 6 year old Son 20 months ago and I guess I am looking for ways to heal. I will say that this book is ideal for anyone who has lost someone they love, it gives useful, helpful tips on how to carry on with life and heal your own life but I will also say that it is obvious that Colin has not lost a child as I found some of the things he suggested were things a bereaved parent would not be able to do and it made me quite angry. However, well worth a read, maybe not initially after bereavement but when you are ready to live again rather than just exist.
