During my work as a medium, I have been asked the same question many times, “Does my loved one send me signs?” The answer is usually, “yes.” Because our minds are so filled with unnecessary chatter, we miss the signs.
My client Yvette was in desperate need of a sign from her deceased husband, Tom. All through our session, she kept asking me, “Why doesn’t Tom send me signs?” Tom’s answer to me was that he always sends her signs. He went on to tell me that he is so happy that she is bonding with their dog. Tom was a true dog lover, and Yvette went along with his passion because she loved Tom. After Tom died, Yvette noticed that the dog was grieving Tom. The dog seemed lost, just as lost as Yvette.
Yvette explained to me that it was as if the dog understood her grief. One day when she was sitting in Tom’s chair crying, the dog came over to her and put his head on her lap. At that point, she knew that Tom would want her to help the dog. Instead of crying in his chair, she grabbed the dog’s leash and started going on daily walks. Tom’s spirit told me he is so happy that Yvette and the dog are spending this time together and that when they are on walks, he sends her signs. He wants her to look down on the path because he puts a heart in front of her. I told her to try mindful walking and that the answer will come. Yvette looked a little puzzled, but she was grateful and thanked me for our session. A few months later, I received a call from Yvette. She was excited to tell me of the collection of stones, pebbles, leaves and sticks all shaped as a hearts that she has collected on her daily path.
Most of the time, it is much easier for a child to receive messages. A child lives in the moment and does not question the signs. For a child, death and spirit communication is natural. Sharon has been studying with me for years and really does understand the journey of a soul. Yet after her mother died, even with all her understanding, she went through a considerable amount of grief. Sharon felt comfort in speaking to her granddaughter about her mother. This is a beautiful story that Sharon shared with me. “When my mom passed, my then 7 year old granddaughter said ‘Gigi, I asked Gram to send me ladybugs.’ I told her how nice that was, and soon after, my granddaughter started calling me whenever she saw a ladybug in her room. She would say, ‘Gram sent me another ladybug!’ I always thought how cute it was but thought it was a coincidence. That was nearly two years ago, and she has called me more than a few times to tell me about another ladybug in her room. About a year ago, my daughter moved into a new house, and my granddaughter called me to tell me the same thing…that my mom was sending her ladybugs in her new room. Honestly, I still chalked it up to coincidence, but a few months ago, I was over at her house, sitting with my granddaughter in her bedroom. We started talking about my mom and she told me again about a ladybug that she had found a week or so ago. I told her how nice that was, and we started talking about something else while playing a game. A few minutes had passed when I looked up and saw something on the ceiling. I didn’t have my glasses on and automatically assumed it was a spider. I said ‘Kinny, is that a spider up there?’ She looked up and much to my surprise, she said ‘It’s a ladybug…see I told you!’”
