Sir Paul Believes Linda's Spirit Lives On
Ex-Beatle and Knight of the Realm Sir Paul McCartney believes that the human spirit lives on after death.
Sir Paul who lost his first wife Linda to breast cancer in 1998, says he’s comforted by the thoughts that her spirit lives on.
He said: “After Linda died, I think all of us in the family would hear noises or see things and think,”That’s Linda; that’s Mum … and I think, in some ways, it’s very comforting to think she’s still there."
Paul said he has been compelled to write poetry since her death, including a poem called ‘Her Spirit', in which Linda’s spirit visits him in the woods, in the form of a white squirrel.
He added: “You don’t know if it’s true, but it’s a great thought. And it’s an uplifting thought. So I allow myself to go there."
He has since published an anthology of poetry entitled 'Blackbird Singing', inspired by experiences ranging from his early Liverpool memories to the loss of Linda
