 Hi. Hey, it's Bridget. Nice to see you. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. Today, we're going to inspire my spirit. I'm serious, okay? I'm serious, okay? I'm so totally serious right now. Yes. I need a pick-me-up. So, we're going to bring in Freddie Mercury from the afterlife to have a good conversation about so many things. Freddie is a fun guy, is easy to talk to and connect to, and he was the one that I wanted to channel on my dad's, my, the anniversary of my dad's passing, which ended up not being a channeling day for me because there's a lot going on, so I didn't do that. So, now here we are. I'm actually recording this on August 5th, which is the day of his funeral 20 years ago today, and Freddie and my dad have some things in common. If you are not familiar with my story, please check out the My Story video. I have to do an update to it, though, because there's more things unfolding for me, so I'll have to do that at some point. But welcome, Freddie Mercury from the afterlife. Oh, my God. I'm totally going to cry through this video. He literally just said, let me give you a hug. There's a lot of pain. He says, oh, honey, I know, I know. Just like, it's like, oh, yeah, there's a lot of pain. That's present, yeah. Thank you, Freddie, for being here. I appreciate it. I haven't talked to you for a while, and I haven't talked to anybody for a while. It feels like I've been doing channeling, but it's been a lot to just show up, and I think that the clouds are starting to part now. I think with this milestone, this anniversary week of my dad's passing, I think there's this renewal that's coming in and looking forward to it. It's hard, though. It's hard. He says, a passport to life, Bridget. It's a passport to life. He says, you got to get a lot of stamps in your passport books. Oh, my gosh, that's cute. Yeah, that's cute. I have not been overseas. Maybe that's something I need to think about. What are the things I want to do for my life? Because one of the things I've talked about here, and also on my fairy grass opera YouTube channel, and I have to find a place to set this. I have a new desk, and so I don't want to get any coffee rings or any cup rings on it, and so I don't have any little things yet. I have a kind of a big wooden thing I have over here that I can use, but anyway, you didn't need to know that, but this is what it's like channeling with Bridget. I'm just like a person. You're just hanging out with me. We're friends, right? But that's not going to work as a second. We've talked about this and understood the value of life. It's hard. He says, there's a unique, thank you, Fred. Freddy says, there's a unique opportunity. There's a unique window that opens up to you that you didn't have access to before, that you can see things different when you know you're dying, he says. He says, I don't know that I would call that a gift, Bridget, because my dad knew he was dying, you guys. So they have so many similarities. My dad died of AIDS also, just like Freddy did. And there's about a six week window that my dad, when he was diagnosed to when he died, he knew he was sick for a couple of years prior to that, but they just never diagnosed it. He says, it's not necessarily a gift to know you're going to die. It's not necessarily a gift, Bridget. He says, oh, I know, I know, it should be, right? It should be this grand realization and these massive changes to you and all of these, trying to make amends and deal with your regrets and make up for lost time with people. He says, you can't do that. You can't do any of that. That's part of what his message is today, Freddie Mercury. His message in the afterlife is you can't make up for lost time. You cannot make up for being an asshole in this real life. You can't. He's like, once an asshole, always an asshole, you cannot make up for that. Someone will hold the perception of you that you have no control over. He's like, you might have been the drunk, Freddie, and was a total jerk to that person, and they will never forget it even if they meet you 10 other times and you're completely a gentleman. They're going to think of what an asshole you were. He says, there's nothing you can do about that because you might have been. It's not about who's right and who's wrong or what's true and what's not true. He's like, you don't have control. That's what it's about. He says, that's what life is about, not having control. And he says, the only certainty is death. Knowing that it's coming sooner rather than later, I don't think as a gift is what he says. I don't think that's the gift. I think the gift is, he says, the gift is when you choose to see your life as valuable. When you choose to see the preciousness of your life, that's the gift because he's like, that's when you can make changes. That's when you can be a better person if you don't feel like you've been a good person. He says, it's not about for Freddie, it's not about doing the things you haven't done. It's about being the person you are with the people that you trust the most, you love the most, who know you, being really just yourself with them so that they know you love them because he says, when you're dying, the people you want around you are the people that you've loved and you know you've loved them well and they love you back and it's real. He says, it's real. That's what you want. That's what you want. So how do you get from here to there? Freddie, can you answer that? That's a good question. How do you get from here to there? You said it. How do you get from here to there? Why did you say that? It's like, because it's in your mind, Bridget. Like what? It freaks me out when he does that. Okay. He freaks me out when he does that. Okay. I have a little bit of a cold thing going on right now. It's a little bit of a cold. So you might hear my voice make little funny noises. I do need to have the T really close. He says, it freaks me out when you do that. It totally does. You know that. And he says, well, you always use your third eye, which like is like excited, like I can see stuff. He says, if I'm able to like drop in, he's like, if I'm able to like tap into that solar plexus, like, um, like you're knowing, he's like knocking on the door of my belly, like solar plexus, the clar cognizance, the knowing, the intuition, if I knock on that, and some, and, and something comes out, something answers the door. It's, well, how do we get from here to there? Freddie, how do we do that? Come on, give us some magical, miraculous advice about life as you know it now as a dead person. He's like, very tactful, Bridget, very tactful. Okay. I am in a space, Fred. You're right about the pain. I feel it today. A lot of reflection, a lot for me. He says, um, it's not how popular you are. It's not about being well liked. Oh, geez, Fred. It's about the depth. It's, it's about the depth of the relationships that you have garnered over your lifetime. It's about really being known, like who knows you. He says the ugliest parts of you, and they treat you no differently. Wow. I'm like, is that about judgment or what is that? Like it feels like, I mean, we're humans, so we're going to judge, we're going to compare, even in our deepest, most loving relationships, we're going to have moments like that. Oh, yes, he says, oh, he says, it's not about life. It's not about the striving for perfection. Some goal or achievement or attaining something. He said, it's about, I see the word meaning. It's about meaning. What does it mean to you? What does it mean to you? He's like, maybe your thing is making furniture. What does it mean to you to build that table or craft that chair? What does it mean for you to do that? To know that someone, it's like a custom thing and someone's going to be able to receive that in their home and enjoy it and that you made it for that family or you honored the tree or the wood or the, the energetics of creating it or the insight of the idea of the designer. He says, it's, what does it mean for you? And he says, that happens with your physical hands. It's like tangible. It's like the human body and the touch. It happens in real time, in real time. He says, and those moments are captured in your memory. And he says, on your death bed, you will have memory. That is the one thing that will come to you is memory. He's like, when that replay happens, what do you want to know? What do you want to feel from those times you've had? He says, the good and the bad, all of it will come. It's like the life review, right? So there's like this time, you guys, that I've seen in multiple, as I've done mediumship and channel of multiple dead people and experienced from my dad's death. Also, there's this time that happens as a life review where archangels or saints, ascended masters, guides, spear guides, what have you come and help to facilitate a remembrance of life, of this lifetime, like watching a movie or a photo album or that kind of a thing where different memories kind of come in. I've seen this happen over the course of a week or week or two through dream state for people that are conscious or cognizant of their death and it are able to, without like the Alzheimer's or dementia piece or medication piece, kind of infringing on that conscious of it, they can share that with their loved ones, the dreams and the experiences, the daydreams of that, where there are these visits from their healing helpers to help them work through some of the things that they feel like they can't let go from this lifetime and they need to be able to in order to leave. Now, that's not said that somebody that dies suddenly doesn't have that opportunity you do. You don't have to do it when you're here. You can do it in the afterlife too. So I've seen it done here. I've seen it done in the afterlife. I've seen it done multiple times. Like I need multiple, I need multiple life review sessions, you know, that kind of thing. So it's just a way that I think help people to let go or prepare to let go. That's what I think that feels about right, you know. That's what it feels like you're describing. He's like, well, I like he doesn't know what to call it. He's just like, yeah, it's like that. The things you cherish, he says, he says it's it's and it's not always the things you think he says, it could be a really great ice cream sundae that you had that one time on that one trip where the server was so funny. And it was just a beautiful night. And for some reason, that chocolate and those that whipped cream and that cherry just tasted so out of this world. He says, sometimes it's that. Is it sensory then? Is the life review piece or the dying part? Is it sensory? Yes. He says, yes, in intuitive ways. It gives you the gift of recognizing how your spirit has been with you all along for your life experience through the sensory things like taste or smell or the color of the sky or that interaction with that person that made you laugh. And you felt it in your heart warmed up like that through those sensory experiences. That's how you know your spirit has always been with you because that's your spirit participating actively in your life, the sensory experiences, the smells, the taste, the touch, it heightens. As you're going through your life review, you will have moments of recall from that. He says, but you will also have, he's being very direct, okay, you will also have moments where there are gaps that is probably the most painful. And he says, Bridget, you know this. He says, unfortunately, I know it's more difficult for you at this time. Because I'm recalling my dad's death and all of that. He says, I know it's more difficult for you to know this and be painfully aware of those things. But you and others who are listening must also understand that this grief process of letting go is not just about the person who's dying. It's about parts of you that are connected to them and what they represent and what their lives meant as you look back and have the gift of the perspective. You can see things and understand things more clearly now that you wouldn't have before. And the moment or the window that opens up with death gives you opportunity to forgive if that's what needs to happen or to feel if that's what needs to happen or to come to peace with things that really have no bearing at the moment of the transition. That thing you were upset about, that argument, that emotion that might have caused a rift for several years, it none of it matters. That's an ego mind holding on to expectation and disappointment amplified in a cauldron of anger and fear. You cannot fight for someone else for someone else to live. It's not your fight. Your presence can only give permission to the ease of the process of death in letting go of what is no longer intended as a part of your life. The relationship will change and transmute and when it comes back, it will be different because you are different for having had the experience with that soul. Regardless of the role they had in your life and in the afterlife, we do look out for our loved ones. We do. We know your pain. We know in those dark moments how lonely you feel and those are the times when we want to uplift you and support you the most and yet you can't feel us because the pain is great and it creates a distance and a separation where there's a wall of sadness. It is hard for the light to come in sometimes only through an understanding of a shared pain. Will you come out of that place and then look back and then choose something different? Step into a newer, healthier version of life that does exist for you, for each of you and all of you. So when you ask about the purpose, what is the meaning, that's what it is. It's whatever it is for you. So when someone dies, he says, this is Freddie Mercury in the afterlife. When someone dies, you too die with them. It is an opportunity for you to let go and release all of those things that you have sorry for. The mistakes that you've made can go and compost through those tears and the anger, the yelling, because I get like that, the music, whatever you use. That's what I do. I yell. I get really mean. He says, yes, because anger is easier than sadness. You've said this many times. He said anger is easier to handle than sorrow. Brief shows up as anger a lot. He says, he's also saying whether it's a person or an animal or someone you know directly or indirectly, you can be so deeply affected. And when that person is dying or when that person dies, you have a window of opportunity. He's saying Freddie Mercury says it's no matter who it is, a window of opportunity that opens that you can then clear something from yourself about your life, about experiences you've had, regret, mistakes, pain, and you can step through like this window of forgiveness. It just opens up and there's just grace that comes through, through light through into the night that shines on you to remind you that you are love, that you are love. Wow, Freddie, that is, that's beautiful. Isn't that beautiful, everyone? It's beautiful. Thank you, my friend. This is not how I thought this would go. I thought we'd talk more about it. I'm like, I thought I might get put on the spot about my stuff, you know, but he's like, ah, I wouldn't do that to you. He said, you're so, you're so delicate right now, Bridget, you're so delicate. I'm like, I am, you guys, I am a soft heart and he has a soft spot for us, us empaths, us feelers, us sensitive types. It's so hard because letting go, even if it's like the healthiest best thing can be so hard, it can feel so traumatic. And so the instinct is try to hold on tighter and the truth is, is that you just get rope burns, you know, ow, rope burns. What's the point when it's going to be done anyway, that person's leaving anyway? It's changing anyway. Why hold on? Why? It's because it can be hard to let go and that's why you and I both know that. So this is Bridget here on above life channel. I channel afterlife celebrity guests every week on Mondays usually. It's a conversation style. That's the kind of psychic, medium and intuitive life coach that I am when I do channeling. And we've been communicating with Freddie Mercury from the afterlife. We've been talking specifically about grief and the dying process. Lots of perspective about life. Lot of perspective about letting go, understanding this process and the meaning of all of it. I don't know that we have exact answers for you or how tos. Here's a manual, how to. It feels much more like recognizing that you're human and allowing yourself to feel and move with the energy, not resisting it, softening the fear as much as possible and connecting to and through love. So I hope we've inspired your spirit, filled you with some hope, encouraged you at the very least to live your life. This is your life after all in you. You, you, you, you, I'm talking to you. Get to live it. You get the opportunity to live it. Just live it.
