My ex-boyfriend shot himself in the heart a year and a half ago. Before he died, there was a lot of mixed up things going on. He had been scammed by a doctor who told him he only had a few months to live, and had gotten re-addicted to opiates through said doctor. Then we found out the doctor was a scam artist. I had moved on and was living in California at the time, just visiting home on vacation and I spent most of my time at his house taking care of him in his final days. Once we found out the doctor was fake he was devastated, and some of his close friends who had flown in from all over the country called him a liar and thought he was making everything up. He was feeling very ashamed and dealing with Borderline personality disorder and addicted to opiates, had severe carpal tunnel in his dominate hand and several other health-related issues were going on. Whether he had been seeing a doctor who was giving him fake 'medicine' or just made the whole thing up I will never know. Most of his friends still believe he fabricated the story but I was there when his father received a call from the 'doctor' (from a blocked number strangely) and I saw the photographs of his swollen foot which definitely did not just happen on its own. It was all very complicated. He was coming down off of heroin with no way to get more while dealing with everything else and being too poor to feed himself living in squalor with his father and alcoholic room mate. He also told his sister that life wasn't worth living without me in it and threatened to stab himself in the head if he couldn't take the car to come see me a few days before he actually pulled the trigger which I will never forgive the ER for letting him go but he was very good at being charming and acting like everything was ok when he wanted to so I guess he convinced them he didn't need help? Even though the police had to be called and that's how he got admitted. Anyway, now you know the back story. He was not healthy mentally, but he was a sweetheart and for what it's worth I did love him a lot and still do. The day he did it he texted me 'I love you *insert nickname*, goodbye forever' and I didn't respond right away because I was in a hurry but for whatever reason I looked at the sky while I was on the same side of town as he was and wondered if he actually did do it this time, as he had threatened this a lot throughout our relationship unfortunately. Please if you think I am a bad person for not responding realize that he had been suffering from borderline for 10 years and had tried to hang himself when he was 17, and had also expressed that he wanted to go to Oregon to get euthanized humanely and frequently used this as a threat to manipulate me into staying with him. So he was in a very bad place and had been for a long time.
A few days after I found out that he was dead, a couple friends and I were sitting on her porch listening to music and eating dinner. The weather was kind of grey, and looked like it was about to storm, which was his favorite kind of weather. All of the sudden the radio started blasting 'Loveable Girl' by James Carr. At first I barely noticed because I was busy grieving but my friend Neal said 'that was like some ghost stuff' not even thinking immediately after it happened. The whole thing lasted maybe 20 seconds where the radio was just on full blast before my friend got up to turn it down. My friends tried to explain it away saying that maybe the radio had shorted out because it was outside (well under the roof of the porch mind you so it would be hard to get water damage there). Since then I have never heard that radio do the same thing and it had never done that prior to that instance. What makes this incident all the more strange is that the same day, same time Ian's father told me he felt his presence as well and so did his best friend's mom, who is a bit of a medium. It was as if he came to all 3 of us around the same time to say goodbye. I believe it was directly a message to me given the content of the song and everything else involved in the situation.
I was also able to contact him through a medium friend of mine a few days
after he passed, after the radio incident. At first he was just saying 'I'm so
tired of the wheel, I'm so tired of the wheel' but eventually I was able to get
through to him and had a decent dialogue through my friend channeling and I
could tell it was him speaking. Some of the things he said were just so him like
that he was supposed to be a lesson to me and said so 'with a wry smile'. Also
when he left he kept saying 'I have to flee now' which my medium friend thought
was weird and it took me a couple of days to understand but then I realized it
was a Pokemon reference because we used to play together all the time. Anyway,
I'll spare you all the personal details of our conversation but basically he was
saying that he had been through similar life cycles several times before and had
jumped into this lifetime without really doing the proper work in the spirit
realm because he just wanted the 3D experience so bad, which is interesting
because he was born prematurely with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck
and a horrible mental illness like I mentioned. He said he had asked the guides
to hold him down so that he could get better for real this time. There was no
mention of heaven or hell, just 'the wheel' and 'the guides'. There was also
mention of him being all cuddled up in pjs with hot cocoa and a teddy bear
saying 'this is my favorite part' which makes sense because even as an adult he
loved his stuffed animals and being curled up in bed. So I definitely knew it
was him. It was sort of eerie but it helped me a lot. I think he is no longer
bound to this earth because he had to do a lot of work elsewhere but my friend
did say he would probably be back in 40 to 50 years 'maybe as a woman' he joked
because he knows he abused his time here as a man. Anyway I don't really feel
his presence any more because of that but I do have hope that he is healing his
soul properly and that I will see him again in the future!
