I became convinced that either I had lost my mind, or he was really still existing outside his body. Shortly after the funeral, a medium I had never met, but who knew of me through a family friend, wanted to talk to me. My son had kept her awake for two nights, asking her to contact me. During a long conversation with her, my son told me that I was a medium and he would be helping me from the other side. I remember feeling this explosion of love in my chest when I heard those words, suddenly it all made sense why I was the way I was my whole life.

With Jake guiding and teaching me, I learned to connect to him directly through meditation and channeled writing. I began studying mediumship, not to be a professional medium, but to strengthen my connection to my son. I studied for years, sitting in circles, taking mediumship workshops and classes, and mentoring with some great tutors including the late, great Mavis Pittilla. I became a certified grief intuitive and gave many practice readings to get me to where I am today. I most recently studied and trained with world-renowned grief expert, David Kessler, to become one of his certified grief educators. All along, my son has been by my side and I love working with him.

It gives me great purpose to now give readings to others. I find this to be the most sacred work, mediumship is truly healing with words. I take it very seriously, knowing how much a good evidential reading can do for a grieving heart. My life purpose now is to help others who are hurting from the loss of a loved one, to feel their loved ones again, and to learn what I learned from my son. There is no death, we continue to exist after we leave this physical world. Our love keeps us eternally connected.
