I believe that Tammy's passing trauma was mitigated or lessened given the lesion inside the spinal column insulated by the spinal fluid. See last entry. Death card.
Ten of Swords: When the 10 appears, however, it is a clear signal to be careful about where you put your trust. Linda "The Psychic" Shields "Trust no one"
Ten of swords: rock bottom, finished, give up, closure. When the 10 of swords appears in the reading it is likely that the situation has become as bad as it possibly can. Enough is enough. There is nowhere to go but up. A person has made huge sacrifices for others and received little to nothing in return.
Pick yourself up and get on with life. Take the lessons you have learned (that would be me because Tammy was my greatest teacher, especially during her final months) with you so you don’t make the same mistakes again.
