Gail or an empathetic heart breaking in time with hers.
Gailâs daughter kept showing me the number â17â, but it wasnât resonating with us why that number was so important to her daughter. We continued regardless. The little girl told me that the man who murdered her had a male friend who, during the crime, knew that it was going on. I found this very disturbing. She kept talking about being around the detectives who worked her case, and how every detective has that one case they never forget or get overâthe one they take to the graveâand she is that case for them. She also wanted to thank them for working so hard and caring so much.
After the event, Mark talked to Gail and she told him the detective was actually in the audience that night, and he had said that â17â was how many days the girlâs body was missing.
This reading hit me like a cement slab to the face. Gailâs daughter was twelve years old when she disappeared; my daughter is also twelve years old. It becomes very personal to me when I connect with parents who have their kids ripped from them. I have to believe justice will be served one way or another for the innocent. As for the perpetrators, well, we wonât go into that here.
People ask me why I prefer doing readings for âtraumaâ survivors. My answer is that I want to help the people whom others stay away from, the ones no one knows what to say to, those who become a part of this âprivate invisible clubâ of people who lose their children and decide to die with them. Theyâre physically here, but emotionally they need to be resuscitated, understood, heard out and reminded to stay open to their babies and to also open their eyes to life, because those whom we lose physically continue to live with us soulfully.
FAMILY TIES BEYOND DEATH
I remember meeting Lyman and Sheila for the first time. It was for an in-person reading. It struck me that if you saw them walking down the street, you wouldnât realise they had been taken apart by tragedy. Their energy was so cool and upbeat, but doing what I do, I could see in their eyes that something was missing from their lives. That something was their son Michael.
When I book readings, I obviously donât want details about the person who has passed because it taints what I get, and that makes for a weaker reading. Michaelâs parentsâ experience with me is chronicled below, and I think what they share is the most important part of what you need to know about their son. I donât want to detract from their account of the reading, so Iâll keep this brief.
In my books I include the words of the people who I have read for because you can relate to them, since theyâve been through what you have. I find it important to hear from someone who can understand your pain entirely. For those of you who havenât been through this sort of loss, I think you can empathise with the people sharing their stories. In turn, this empathy you feel towards them is like youâre sending their heart a âget wellâ card. Itâs a positive exchange of energy from you to them. Also, I like to give the person coming through centre stage, so the living can better know what happens to us when we die, learning about it from those whoâve been through it.
Michael came through easily enough. He was focused on his family and answering the questions he surely hears run through their minds every day since his passing. He gave the feeling of pressure to my throat and an inability to breathe. I tried to convey this with sensitivity to his parents. How a person felt when they passed is often something they need to share in a reading without throwing in hurtful details.
Michael talked lovingly about how proud he is to have Lyman and Sheila as his parents and how lucky he was to have them in his life. He was firm about still being part of the family and spending most of his time around
