Dear Rivas family and Justin:
You don’t know me but I was with your Daughter and friend Bethany at the end of her life as we know it. I wanted to let you know that Bethany did not pass alone. I was with her, holding her and praying for her till she took her last breath. I preformed CPR on her after her spirit had left because my ego wanted her to stay, but I knew on a spiritual level that she was with the Father. She did not suffer and passed away peacefully. Even though she was temporarily brought back to life after the paramedics arrived she was already spiritually with the great creator, only her body was alive. It was not by chance that I was sitting outside at 11:00 that night and heard the crash, and it was not by chance that I responded to her needs. I’m a minister and spiritual healer and she was in good hands. Chrystal was already gone so I prayed for her soul to have a safe journey. Justin was in good hands with my friend Myrna, but the person who was most distraught and who needs you now is Steven. I had to lie on top of him and hold him down and I felt all the rage and pain that he was feeling. I saw in the paper the list of problems that this boy has weighing him down and that he has made many bad decisions in his life. In thinking about this, I wonder what caused his life to be so self destructive. I understand your pain and loss, but don’t dishonor the memory of your beautiful daughter’s life with hate. All of us involved in this tragedy, the paramedics, police, families, friends and people like myself are now all connected in an energetic way and if you react with hate we will all be effected by this.
As a healer I respect the words of the great spiritual healer and chief Fools Crow. He said healing is purely spiritual and has to do with helping a person to be right with God. Then if death does come, the person can die peacefully and not be angry or resentful about it. He learns through the healing rituals to think in terms of the quality of life rather than the quantity of life. Healing is a priceless gift that can be given to anyone who will except it. Through this letter I offer you healing, the same healing I gave to Bethany. I hope you will accept it.
We’re all one.
Take care,
Rev. Donna Weinheimer
