Forums · Maybe a psychic intuition?
As I mentioned in Heartache Hotel a few weeks ago, we had a fire on 1/25 and lost most of our things including our 3 cats. I went into detail in that thread so I won't repeat that here. Anyway, ever since then I have been wondering about some thoughts and fears I had prior to this.
The thought, or fear of having a fire often came to mind. Almost to the point where after we were away for a few days I'd almost feel relieved when I got home and saw that the house was still standing. Of course, we had a wood stove which we used a lot in the winter, so maybe some of my nervousness about fire stemmed from that, knowing that I had to be careful with that, and I was. I always tried to keep anything flammable away from the stove and would scold others if they left anything too close. I would look at the house, and my things within, and often wondered about what would happen if a fire did break out. In summary, it was one of my worst fears that I had about the house.
Heather was always nervous about the wood stove too, and we were also nervous about the bedroom windows, which were small and high and would have been difficult to use as a fire escape. Fortunately, we weren't home when the fire did break out so thank goodness for that. Imagine if it started in the middle of the night...
The other fear I was having the past few months was of losing our precious kitties. Although I never predicted what did happen, I often thought, and was almost mentally preparing myself for the possibility of losing one or more of them. I suppose part of the reason for this was because 2 of our cats were getting pretty old (Jambo was 15 years old, and Misha was not too far behind), so anything could have happened by then. In fact, that mental preparation may have helped me cope with the loss better than I would have if I didn't have that nagging impression in the back of my head.
So I have to wonder if I had some sort of psychic fortelling of this event, or was I just being paranoid about something that could happen and unfortunately did (the old bad luck/bad karma thing)?

Hi Kevin
I believe concerns of something happening to a loved one, pet, our homes etc is a common fear we all have. It is our natural instinct to feel protective of all that we love and hold dear to us and at times the fear of the worst happening goes along with that instinct.
I worry about my sons every time they walk out the door and there have been times when I simply couldn't shake the feeling something was wrong. Sometimes it was just me feeling overly protective but there have been times when there was reason that extra worry nagged at me. I could drive myself crazy with thoughts of why didn't I this or that when I had certain fortelling impressions but we can't do that, for often we are not given enough information with our impressions to be able to change things. Not that there haven't been times when a change of action based on a feeling/impression I had resulted in avoiding something bad that could/should have happened but unfortunately that hasn't always been the case.
I believe we charted our path before incarnating here and perhaps during times when we have impressions or feelings that won't leave us, we (our spirt) is recalling an event that we know will unfold? Your comment that your nagging impressions may have in a way given you mental preparation so you were better able to cope, may very well be the reason you had them, to help you better cope with your loss? To me some of what you explained does sound like you may have had a bit of fortelling along with some natural thoughts of common fears. Listen to your inner voice and what it is telling you about this, it knows better than anyone. Hugs to you and Heather I sure hope with each passing day things are getting a little easier for you both with all that you have to deal with. ((Hugs))
