It turns out that Craig, after he died, reminded me about the basic fisics (physics) that I learned in school. It was so long ago that I didn’t even remember how to spell it! This blog truly is “fisics” for first graders. If you are anything like me, physics seemed irrelevant to my life. So let me introduce you to my teacher and trainer – Craig.
It seemed like everyone loved Craig. Everyone. Male or female. It didn’t matter. He had a charisma that was contagious. Craig was a highly respected physical therapist and a sought-after personal trainer. When he wasn’t working, he volunteered his time in the gym at the active senior community where we both lived. All the fitness members were part of his personal fan club. If you had a question about the body, Craig had an answer.
I had lots of questions, so Craig and I trained together. Over the years, we became the best of friends. We challenged one another and learned from each other. He taught me how to strengthen my body and my mind. We had deep philosophical conversations while we lifted weights. He had the most extensive vocabulary I ever heard. It was not uncommon for me to leave the gym with my phone in hand checking dictionary.com for the meaning of some word he used that morning.
Craig and I had a set work out time on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings, but would text each other to determine which weekend day we would meet to exercise. I was hurt and disappointed when on Monday morning, July 10, 2017, I had not heard back from him over the weekend. I left him a somewhat terse and cryptic voicemail asking him if he was still alive? He wasn’t. Much to my shock and horror, Craig had an unforeseen heart attack and died in his bed, at home, alone.
Upon hearing the tragic news of his death, I went in search of a photo of him. I just wanted to see him. The one picture I knew I had was in my computer. My laptop had been completely shut down, as was my habit. I opened the cover in hopes of finding the photograph of Craig that I believed was buried somewhere in some endless file, but I had no idea where to begin searching. I did not turn the computer on; I did not log in; I did not open any programs. All I did was lift the cover and yet, there he was, bigger than life staring back at me. Craig’s face filled the entire screen. I thought I must be hallucinating, and I gasped for air.
Every single day for the next 16 months, I was graced with mind-blowing signs, communications, and gifts from Craig. I perceived his energy around me, felt his touch, and heard him call my name. I even looked into his eyes. I know. CRAZY! I wouldn’t have believed it if it hadn’t happened to me, but please read on. It’s all about physics!
You may be thinking, “Who is this crazy woman who communicates with dead men?” (Check out last week’s blog entitled, When Someone Dies in Your Arms.) Well, I’ll tell you who I am not. I am not a psychic or a physicist. I am not a medium. In fact, I didn’t even know what a medium was until after Craig died. I gave up television 16 years ago (Okay, so maybe I am a little crazy.), therefore I had never seen any of the shows about mediums that I understand have aired. However, since Craig has passed, I have read over 70 books on the afterlife, death, and grief. I was just a “normal” person before Craig died and never even thought about connecting with the “other side” or about physics!
Let’s do a little physics review by playing “The 20 Questions Game.” Pretend that you are answering the following questions that are posed by a child in first grade. (It will only take a minute.) How would you answer the following?
- Why can’t I see the wind? How do I know it’s really there? Where does it come from?
- What does gravity look like? What does it feel like?
- How is it that when I flip a switch the light goes on?
- Where does the music inside the radio come from? Are people singing inside?
- Do the birds in the sky disappear when I can no longer see them?
- What happens to the airplane when I can no longer see it? How does it fly?
- How is it that ice melts into water and can turn into steam and vanish?
- If I take a pail of water from the ocean, is it still part of the ocean?
- Where does the moon go during the day?
- It looks like the boats on the horizon are going to fall off. Do they? Where do they go?
- When M & M’s all melt together, are they still M & M’s?
- Why do the tires on cars spin backwards in movies?
- When you lose weight, where does it go?
- How does my heart know to beat?
- What if I forget to breathe?
- Where do I go when I sleep? Are my dreams real?
- How do I know this isn’t the dream and I will wake up from it?
- How can a movie make me cry if it’s make-believe?
- How can your heart break?
- How do the blades on the ceiling fan disappear when you turn it on?
I hope you had fun with that exercise! Obviously, the point is that we take certain things for granted. They are just so. We don’t necessarily have to be a physicist to understand the blades on a fan can be dormant when the fan is off and invisible when the fan is on high.
The fan is the perfect analogy to illustrate my current relationship with Craig and my interpretation of physics. When the fan is off, that represents a frequency that appears inanimate, like a table or chair. (More on that below.) The low speed would designate a person. The medium speed would be a spirit or soul that has crossed over or left their body, like Craig. For the 16 months that I could feel Craig’s energy, he was in that medium range, concentrating at times to “lower” his vibration or come down to my level or speed. Simultaneously, I was working to raise my energy or vibration to meet or match his. Craig has now ascended or gone to the “high” speed on the fan and in so doing, I no longer physically feel him around me – just like you can’t see the blades of the fan, but know they are still there. However, because I have been diligently working on my consciousness and raising my vibration, I can sometimes connect with him even now. I still have signs from him most every day.
These are the very basics I know about physics:
- Everything is made up of energy that is vibrating at different frequencies. At least that is what Einstein confirmed and I think he’s a lot smarter than I am!
- Everything means everything – even a chair, a book, a thought, a feeling, a person, or the subconscious mind. It looks like a chair is solid or dense, but, according to Einstein, if you break the particles down small enough, you will see that the chair just has a very slow vibration.
- Frequency is how often an event repeats itself over a set amount of time. In physics, the frequency of a wave is the number of wave crests that pass a point in one second (A wave crest is the peak of the wave). Hertz (like the rent-a-car) is the unit of measure of frequency.
- When you have that “in the zone” sensation of everything is going your way, you are vibrating at a higher frequency.
- We have all heard, “where your attention goes, energy flows.” Science proves it.
- We learned in school that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, but only changed from one form to another.
- Love is energy.
These many months Craig has been instructing me about the afterlife and how to live your best life here, assuring a better hereafter. I now know it is my God-given calling to share this information with others. The book that is being birthed is called Craig’s List for the Afterlife: Follow Your Heart, Heal Your Grief, and Lose Your Fear of Dying. It is the basis for my coaching program.
The first of the weekly blogs in the “We Don’t Di” (My friends call me Di) series will be geared towards establishing belief and credibility as I share the astonishing gifts and signs from Craig. As we progress, I will be introducing a new kind of dying, call “di-ing.”
Please use your energy to sign-up for my newsletter. There will be plenty of surprises, stories, and gifts you won’t want to miss! Leave your comments below and see you next time!
Di’s Claimer or Disclaimer
This is the disclaimer at the beginning of my book.
Some things need to be claimed, disclaimed, and exclaimed.
I believe with all of my heart and soul that it is my God-given purpose to write this book that will help thousands move through their grief, guilt, and fears. In so doing, I accept that there are people who will say this is an unbelievable tale and the imaginings of a grief-stricken woman.
This is my true story exactly as it unfolded to me, without exaggeration and without malice. I have had almost two years to digest this information. You will be getting all of it in the time it takes you to read the book. I am certain some of the content will be as shocking to you as it was, and still is, to me. Because of religious beliefs, some will deem this narrative invalid, perhaps even blasphemous. I understand that. I mean no offense. My only goal is to serve the grieving or frightened people in need of this healing message.
I ask only that you read this with an open mind and an open heart and then, follow your heart.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your experience Di. My Mom just passed and after 10 days I no longer felt her around so I assumed that she quickly moved on to “somewhere else”. I love your explanation of the speed of the fan blades and how on high speed we don’t feel our passed loved ones anymore although they exist.
You are so welcome Kelly. Thank you and I am sorry for your loss.
God bless you. You,you,you. God bless those who are around you, in you, beside you. I love you dearly. in grace, Ilene
You are in my book Ilene! I am assuming that is okay!
Einstein once said, “God did not play dice with the Universe.” Apparently, God, the Universe and Einstein never threw snake-eyes with Dianne. Good luck with that, Ladies and Gentleman.
You are so clever Barry!
Beautiful analogy and I am so looking forward to your book! Thank you for sharing your grief and what you have learned through it.
Thanks!

Thank you Anastasia! Who knows, maybe we can work together!
I cannot wait to read your book and I am so excited to hear about all the positive changes in your life. In a matter of months, my father passed and then my dear friend and therapist, Dr. David Pittle. My heart was broken and still is. I know that there is more than just this life and I look forward to reading all you share on your blog and in your upcoming book!
All the best to you, Di!🙏💗🌸
Thanks Pretty Paula!
I’m truly looking forward to reading your book, Dianne! I, too, felt my Mother around me for months after she passed. She came to me in my dreams, moved things in my home to let me know she was with me, and even made herself known to my puppy in funny ways. I’m a believer and look forward to reading about your experiences and learning from you!
Thanks Wendy! That means the world to me. I hope to connect with you soon. I’ll be in Santa Rosa for my grandson’s graduation on June 1, but only for one day. But, I’ll be back!
