 Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. Today, we're going to do a channeling, but with a topic purpose. The topic may be of great interest to you. It may be something that affects many of you. And that is working. I don't even know how to describe this, you guys. This is tough to do because I have tried to start recording this a couple of times and I just can't. There's a lot on my mind personally. The topic is dealing with someone who has memory issues, whether that be Alzheimer's, dementia, aging of the mind, or some other medical situation where your loved one, your friend, isn't like they used to be. And it's like this slow deterioration of memory and it seems so awful, like just cruel, like you're being robbed slowly of your memories, which are, as our human experience shows, very, very precious to us, aren't they? Your memories, they're precious to you. And in our personal life, we've been dealing with that. Moved someone into assisted living a few years ago and now into memory care. Because the memory, the mind, the brain simply shrinks. It gets smaller. It doesn't work like it used to, just like the body. It's slowly ending its time here. It's running out of that juice to keep it going. And so I know many of you can relate to this. Now, the reason why I'm talking to this topic of memory loss and working with people or family or friends who have memory loss issues is because it totally helps to connect and relate on a soul level. Yes, you can connect to that loved one, even if they don't remember who you are, even if you, it's frustrating for you or hard for you because the person's personality changes or can change quickly and have confusion about days and nights and you might get phone calls in the middle of the night, had that experience and where you have to talk to them about what time of day it is and that, no, it's nighttime. You can go to sleep now and just really confusion and then sometimes really frustration like someone who's so nice and kind changes into someone who's angry and mean and bitter because there's this frustration that comes from confusion and then it's just fear and sadness all mixed together. You guys, wow, I've been dealing with this so much this weekend we moved our loved one to the memory care section of, wow, there's just a lot, you guys. And so I know many of you have aging parents or grandparents or family members that are in this situation so hopefully you can really, let's talk about this productively and give you some support. You can, here's your hope, you guys. You can communicate and connect with those loved ones even when their memory isn't accurate or on target. You can communicate with their soul their higher self. So you have a soul, a higher self, you know I talk about this all the time. Your spirit, your intuition, your higher self is like your guide to yourself which is your spirit, your soul's voice, your intuition. Everybody has that. You have it, I have it, everybody has it, everybody has it. And so that is the way you can channel and communicate and connect with others even if you can't face to face or can't relate to them in a human context or what it may be if there's things that just barriers to communication you can connect and communicate with them through your spirit through channeling the energy of your spirit to their spirit you can communicate with their spirit you can channel their higher self you can find out what that loved one needs, wants what their comfort is, what would make them most comfortable by channeling them this also works when people are in a coma when people are in and out of conscious awareness because they have a lot of medication like maybe morphine like in a hospital you know after a serious accident or something when they're in and out of consciousness this also works then because they're really moving in between realities they're really moving in between human state and spirit state human state and spirit state or when they're in under anesthesia I have a great story about that I should share you can also connect, communicate with them then so if someone's in surgery and you're worried about them even if the surgery is like super long or super short it doesn't matter, you can literally connect with them and how you do it is kind of through a meditation state you have a conversation, you can have a conversation in your mind you can do an actual meditation to connect with them and there are so many options in regards to how to do that but you have to utilize your mind and your thoughts your thinking mind and your soul so your human mind and your soul so your spirit are working together to help this bridge happen okay and then you can start to key and tap into your own intuition which is your spirit, your higher self can read the energy of that person you're reading their aura, the energy around them you're reading some of the information it's not just body clues like non-verbals or facial expressions but you can feel and sense the shift and change in the energy and you can start to tell where they're at what reality are they living in are they in this timeline, are they in this timeline it takes a little practice but especially when you know this person you've known them your life you can do it and I know because I have myself personally so I know I know I said we're going to channel because we are so I was trying to think about who would I ask about this who's experienced it in the afterlife and who do you think I came up with I actually didn't come up with anybody I had actually a thought in my mind I thought I don't know if that's exactly a great person to ask but I could but we are going to ask Ronald Reagan yes and if you've watched above life channel y'all know that I am I try to be very non-partisan with my channels but as a person you totally know how I follow that political spectrum so this isn't a political it's kind of hard right now because the climate in America is very political but it's not talking to Ronald Reagan it was actually my husband's idea and I said oh my gosh you're right because Ronald Reagan the former president and actor Hollywood and politics oh my gosh my two favorite things now politics really isn't my favorite thing it's just part of my upbringing let's say that and so a nostalgic a little bit for that two things coming together and so Ronald Reagan and I thought oh my gosh he's right because Ronald Reagan struggled with Alzheimer's and I don't know how public that was I think people knew that but I'm not sure how transparent that was so let's talk with Ronald Reagan about this topic from somebody who knows what it was like to be on that end of that and then who is in the afterlife so we'll channel with him but again I want to be really really really really really clear I should do more videos about this actually where you can communicate and connect with your loved one even if they are here in this life they're not after they're here but their mind is so in a state of like flow and flex where it's shifting and changing and it is they are actually able to be in multiple places at once in multiple timelines at once thus the confusion when they're back in alignment in this timeline in their body that you know them as so they might refer to stuff back in their childhood like it was yesterday or even mention things that are like like they talk to their husband who has been dead for you know 10 years or that kind of a thing and they're not making it up you guys they're able to access that stuff they're totally able to so it's fascinating and it's also incredibly infuriating and frustrating for those of us who care for people who are loved ones that we want to have time with them and we want them to have the best quality of life in this timeline but they're really flexing and flowing and fluid and able to connect with all sorts of timelines which makes things very confusing and also dealing with other issues of especially if it's a situation where they're aging body issues and health issues and mobility issues and eating issues and everything like that just compounds this right but there is a I have to believe you guys I have to believe that there's a method to this a purpose for this so let's talk to Ronald Reagan in the afterlife and find out political stuff aside all right because he is knowledgeable about this so let's chat with them and if he's willing to talk to me we know he's open okay all right oh oh let's chat with them Ronald Reagan and his beautiful wife Nancy Reagan because he is saying that my beautiful wife Nancy he says first of all I would like to say that Hollywood definitely trains you to be a politician and then he laughs he's very charming Mr. Reagan you are very charming thank you very much and he has this great smile you guys and his wife is so cute and she's right by his side and again politics aside politics aside the two of you we are open hearted and open minded to we really want to find out the viewers here at above life channel what give us some insight please I should have brought my tissues because I could use some too as a human like help us to understand I know that you had some memory some struggles with your memory Mr. Reagan and it would be lovely if you could share with us in context of what that's like from the person who is suffering that is that true and also if you could clarify did you have a dementia or an Alzheimer's or to what extent if you're comfortable ensuring that oh yes he says it's a public record it's public record I was deeply affected by Alzheimer's it's a different type of memory disease than dementia they are different he says there's actually different ranges he's showing me like a spectrum of Alzheimer's and it's not stages that he's clarifying just to be clear he's saying ranges and so that seems different because stages seems like first stage like it advances and he says that's not always the case there's different types and varieties of Alzheimer's and it affects it shows up and it progresses at different rates which are the stages he says the levels of progression are the stages that you you see he says because he's noticing that I see it in my mind and I see these different colors and there's like these it's like four or six maybe it's seven stages four and then six and seven stages of Alzheimer's oh maybe he just went through four because it feels like four and there's more alright and so you have a unique perspective because of your public persona he says I don't know about that I think more for my family it may have seemed as though they needed to maintain publicly a higher degree of privacy but it's not something that anyone ever should be ashamed of it's simply the progress of life and life progresses for all of us and at times uniquely a bit different with some some crossover he says some common some commonality it's important to not vilify the person or even the disease I know it's easy to do that and I know he says I know Bridget it's hard for you in fact to understand that but there is a scientific portion of this there's the scientific piece of this that loved ones family friends can research and find out there's an incredible he's saying like the American Alzheimer's Association or something AMAA or something he's saying that there's resources online there's a tremendous support community if you are one that needs to have others to be able to if you are doing it on your own if you are the sole caregiver for someone who is struggling with their memory he says and then he kind of smiles and looks up at me and says conscious mind if they are struggling with that like meet me where I'm at that is so polite thank you gosh he is charming he's very charming and informative thank you for that so there is resources online he's showing me like to me it looks like a Facebook thing a Facebook community or group where you can get support as caregivers okay you guys as caregivers to help understand the process and get support to each other for each other and that kind of thing he says there's community so we can look that up and see and alright so so your family is so anything it's not that there's a a want to hide that this disease strips you of your integrity it does not he says it does not it does not it's a state of mind it is not understood by others and publicly it could be ridiculed or criticized for someone who is a public figure shattering that image is something that really impacts the family a great deal much more much more than the person here that we as I can speak for myself going through this process I could see or sense how it affected my family and that's what angered me that's what would frustrate me or cause me to be sad he says I was highly emotional at times he's showing me very weepy and crying crying and it was because it was part of the effects for me the in and out that you described in your introduction the in and out would create emotion within me and then there would be a display of that which I feel that Nancy was much better equipped to manage that than my children and I feel like he has a son does he have two boys and a girl I feel like I can see three people that are related to him and I'm not sure how that is you guys I don't even remember I can't remember right now I'm in altered state when I'm channeling I don't know but he's saying the kids that it was harder for them to handle that what was happening and he says I could see that and he says but Nancy he looks at his wife oh gosh you guys he's so sweet with her he loves her he loves her and he says but Nancy was always the strong one she was always the one with the strength she always kept it together very very much like a woman of high class standards and morality an excellent example and I'm okay alright alright I have to cough right now just a minute okay so how long because I can see you in a wheelchair so how long did the like the memory when did the memory thing start when did you kind of notice he says I had I have Alzheimer's that's what I was diagnosed with he says I have Alzheimer's that's what I had experience what I experience he says so he's okay he says I have he's using present tense interesting but he's saying there were there were signs he says there were signs I knew that there was something that was not well with my memory with my mind my cognitive thinking there were he's saying there were breakdowns there were moments where I could not remember things and it was like an episode sort of sort of like he's describing he says it was an episode my episodes and he's saying that happened much earlier than people may want to believe I knew okay so you can get tested for like a gene or something I think I think you can do that nowadays was that in effect then and he says no my father had problems with I think he said his father someone in his family on his side it could either be a father or a brother that had problems like that too with their memory they had problems like that brain issues let's all say brain issues but back he says back in he's saying the 90s it wasn't the Alzheimer's wasn't what it is now there's so much resource and so much information about it better understanding he said then it was much more of something that you that wasn't commonly known or understood and it appeared that someone would be losing their mind or going crazy now he doesn't say going crazy he says losing their mind and that is something that we had to guard against in order to maintain and then Nancy just says in order to maintain boy okay she says like his iconic status his his unblemished reputation we would not allow for others to intervene or intercept any kind of real knowledge that Ron had had been struggling with his memory his mind so was this happening when you're in office it looks like right after he left it looks like there are periods of time where he would kind of get more relaxed and laid back even on the podium like even when he's responding to doing a talk or having doing questions or something and I feel like this was after he left office I feel like it was after he left office more relaxed and more kind of funny and some of that he says like he's showing me using humor to diffuse the memory loss situation and that kind of a thing and kind of blaming it on the presidency and taking everything out of you taking your entire brain taking everything out of your mind and now life is not like that and that kind of thing so the time after the presidency is when it feels like it was more obvious it could have been more obvious but it looks like I don't want to be like super specific or picky about this but I'm wondering if you would answer is during office at the end during the end of your term did you I almost you guys I feel like it's disrespectful to ask him that I apologize for asking that if it's something that you feel that is beneficial for people to know then then you may answer but I don't I'm not going to push this he just kind of smiled and Nancy would appreciate it if I would not ask that Nancy asked me I will respect your wishes 100% mm-hmm because that's how we roll at above life channel we are not about the drama we're about the people and the connection and giving people hope so let's talk about that let's talk about hope Mr. President Mr. Reagan how did it feel for you can you give us some insight into that and then maybe some recommendations either from you or Nancy how to how to handle that for ourselves when we're watching our loved one our friends deal with this situation it's he says the confusion is real it's very disruptive it's very disorienting it's like when you wake up from a very long sleep and you're not quite sure for a moment where you are at if you say travel a lot as we did in the presidency you wake up and wonder what city you're in remind me again what day it is and but it doesn't lift the fog of that doesn't lift you can't just brush it off it is sort of a it is a bit of a fogginess is how I would relay that to you so on a day when the sun is shining and the air is bright the air is the sun is shining and it's bright and here is fresh and your mood can be uplifted and then other days when it's cloudy or when it's rained for several days you can get rather tired of it when the pattern consistently or the pattern repeats consistently that's the only part of the confusion that is reliable is consistent and it comes back and over time for me it changed I didn't recognize others in a way that I once had so you had in your Alzheimer's journey you got to the point where you didn't recognize your loved ones at times and I know he says and he looks at Nan he says I know that was the most painful for them and then he says Nan what type of advice would you give to family he says that to her he just looked to her and he says that to her she's quite a bit shorter than he is and I don't remember that but he's like this bigger guy and she's like you know here and everyone deals with this differently it affects us differently that's true that's very true try not to be so hard on yourself I know we want what's best for them we really want them to be happy and it's so sad it is a bit like grieving the life that you had the memories that are lost keep your spirits keep your spirits up keep your faith and she's referring to God and having trust in God and knowing that this time is a time for you as a family to get closer there are some members of your family that will not be able to manage this that will have a very difficult time being present for this process and even if they are far far away it is important to stay in contact with them update them communicate with them even if they are not able to come because they feel heartbroken they will be torn with guilt at times and long long after the transition has been made long after your death they will still try to come to terms with the guilt of not visiting or not being able to handle things better being not being patient is definitely something that caregivers share we feel a tremendous amount of responsibility we expect ourselves to be patient and kind at all times and not to get frustrated with our heart person who doesn't remember us or who gets frustrated or angry at us we have to learn to forgive easily and perhaps that is one of the greatest lessons here are messages that you were seeking is the forgiveness to forgive quickly and move right back into love that includes yourself not just your person not just the one who is dealing with this because you all are and as a family it has the opportunity to bring you together although it may tear you apart as well inside but don't lose faith don't lose faith share what you can and cherish those moments together that's what will carry you through beyond long long after the disease has gone and your loved one is no longer suffering that will carry you forward those were some very wise words thank you Nancy and thank you Mr. Reagan as well for your insight into this experience with memory loss and what it's like to actually be the person that's going through that as well very interesting when Nancy shared that the message or the lesson was forgiveness to forgive quickly love again wow and that kind of condensed timeline that makes a lot of sense to just forgive to forgive yourself to let go of extra responsibility or accountability and to face things as it comes moment to moment to moment instead of worrying or anticipating or dwelling on the painful moments that you have focus on the positive moments and the moments of connection the truest connection that you can and I know you can, you don't just have to be psychic to do this, you can connect with that person's spirit and you can always be together in alignment and spirit even if they don't recognize your face even if they're upset or they're even non-verbal it doesn't matter what stage of their life or transition that they are in you can still communicate and connect with their higher self you can connect and communicate soul to soul yes you can I've done it in fact I have had many client sessions where people have been in this situation where they have a dad that has Alzheimer's or they have a mom that has dementia deals with dementia or just simply an aging parent that has so many memory issues and health issues and medication created memory problems because there is that too where we've had conversation and connect with the higher self of that person to get that clarity and you can do that using your own intuition wow this was a powerful session thank you very much to the two of you the Regans for being here for our conversation today I do need to talk to you again at some point I think that would be very interesting to do another you know about the presidential stuff we'll have to talk about that at some point right he says my pleasure my pleasure and we probably should talk about the Hollywood stuff with him because that would be kind of fun too wouldn't it you guys yes thank you both for being here and thank you for watching today I hope that your spirit has been a bit more inspired as a result of this conversation today I hope that your Hope Cup has been a little more filled up because of watching this channeling video and remember the purpose of life is for you to live it just live it you're doing the best you can and I believe in you thanks so much for watching
