The year before last, shortly after Christmas
(December 30, 2009 to beprecise) my daughter's boyfriend committed suicide.
After almost a year of intense counseling, she still sleeps with his
picture every night in her bed, and she often stays in her bed sleeping.
She is now doing a lot better though. The day before the following event
(see below) took place, I asked her if she thought her boyfriend would
make contact on the anniversary of his death.
I was making a quilt for her bed and I had placed the top over her comforter
trying to see how much bigger it needed to be to cover the whole bed.
Then she told me she wanted me to go. She wanted to go to bed. OK. And
so I gathered up my quilt top and I found a little silver medallion.
It was in her bed, but inside the covers, mind you. I picked it up to
inspect it, and at first it looked to me like the medallion of a necklace,
but there was no loop on it for it to be attached to a chain, so it
did not come from a necklace.
1. It could have been a charm, but again there was no means of attachment.
However, the back of it was flat, not like a coin, but it has two indentations
that are equally spaced from the edge. Perhaps it once had a clasp.
My thoughts about the front of this medallion was that its design represented
the Master standing at the gates of heaven (he's looks to be standing
inside the opening gates) with latin writing all around (EIVS IN OBITV
NRO PRAE SENTIA MVNIAMVR), which we immediately found a translation
for. It means: 'May We Be Strengthened By His Presence In The Hour Of
Our Death.'
We were stunned. This happened on December 22, and although not right
on the anniversary, he let her know he was with her, to give her strength,
so that her Christmas could be bearable. I have to say this was one
of the most amazing, unbelievably heavenly acts of love and contact
that we will probably ever get in our lifetimes. I don't know that I
would believe it myself if hadn't happened to us personally. The thought
I would share with all who have been told they will go to hell, myself
included: Even people who commit suicide have God's love.
Silver medallions of this kind were commonly attached to rosaries. They
depict St. Benedict, the Patron Saint of 'Happy Death.'
