Experience description:

I was making coffee one morning and suddenly I was aware of my grandmother's presence right next to me. It felt light , warm, extremely loving and peaceful. There was no doubt whatsoever that it was her there and not someone else.  The strange thing is that shortly afterwards I started to have shoulder stiffness and pain, this has now developed into a frozen shoulder; an extremely painful, exhausting condition. I feel that my grandmother visited me then to offer her support as I live alone and have no one to help me cope with this.
