Feedback from M. in South Carolina

Posted by Gretchen on October 2nd, 2008

This is the essence of a letter sent to me by a client. We had scheduled and re-scheduled her reading as her mother was gravely ill and M was dealing with Labor Day company and many family concerns. The telephone reading was on September 7, 2008.

“Thank you again for the reading with my Daddy (who died in 1991). I’ve been waiting to write to you because on the very day of the reading, my mother died. I returned to the hospital after talking with you. My brother left the room after I arrived to “get some air” since he has been with Mama all night. While he was gone I sat down with her. She was in a deep sleep, perhaps a coma. I told her then, with my hand on her arm, that Daddy was in the room with her and was waiting for her. I also said the other things to her that Daddy had said to tell her to get her to turn away from the living and toward him.

I told her that we (my two brothers and myself) would be all right and that we would take care of each other….that it was all right for her to go and be with Daddy. I told her how excited he was that he would see her again.  I assured her that we would miss her and love her always. I did ask that when it was my time to die that she would wait for me…and then I just sat with her. After a short time, about 10 minutes, her breathing slowed and stopped. Peaceful, and just as she always hoped it would be. I was glad for her and sad for me.

Please know that I believe that the timing of the reading with my father was extrodinary. Thank you for being there for me,

Hugs,

M, from Pawleys Island, SC

I enjoy meeting the deceased, odd as that may sound

As the book goes out more and more people are coming to me for readings. Of course mothers who lose their children have broken hearts and these meditations are what I consider the most important work I can do. But I also connect family members where there is not the element of tragedy, conversely these are occasions for joy and laughter.

One father I recently spoke to for his daughter said to me” I have a badge now”, and he went on to explain that the deceased who have spoken to the living (through a medium) have a status up there. They have bragging rights. Of course this man could also have been pulling my leg as he had the most wonderful dry sense of humor.

Good News and Bad news

Posted by Gretchen on July 7th, 2008

The good news is that we are not different people after we die, the bad news is that we are not different people after we die. We continue in our afterlife with the same personality, problem solving skills, sense of humor, intellect, and spiritual outlook that we had in life.

Welcome

I was asked why I believe there is an afterlife in a recent talk. It was a great question.

The traditional role of a psychic medium is to prove to one family at a time that their loved one still exists and has messages for them. After more than two decades of doing this work I’ve convinced myself that I am communicating with the deceased. How else could I know such tiny details. How could I know the exact description of a ring that a husband gave his wife 10 years ago, and that his slippers were old loafers with the heels walked down to a flattened state!

I know there are more great questions out there. Perhaps you have had an experience with a deceased loved one you would like validated.

Looking forward to out chats,
