I've been struggling since my sister and I came home from our medium reading on November 9th with how to blog about it. I don't want to infringe on anyone's privacy but thought that it might be helpful to someone trying to decide whether to go or not.
My compromise was a warning.
***Warning**** To my family and friends who may read this, it is likely that if you are linked to me or to my sister, you may also be linked to the people that we believe the medium connected us to (particularly one very sensitive situation). Please, only read on if you are prepared to hear what they have to say.
Both my sister and I like to watch TLC's Long Island Medium with Theresa Caputo. We thought it would be so awesome to go see one to see what it was all about. I simply searched online to find one in our area. There weren't many but the one I found seemed to have a lot going for her. She has written books and been on some TV shows. So we went for it and booked an appointment....3 months away. It seemed like forever!
Finally the day came and my sister and I were so excited. I admit I was very nervous as well. Were we wasting our money? Would anything she said make sense?
We drove to this quaint little neighborhood and pulled into the drive of a bungalow.
We are invited to wait in the living room while she finishes an appointment. The house looks like any of our homes but really why should we expect any different?
She starts off by asking if our people have been gone longer than 6 months. Before 6 months she says that she really only sees flashes of light and can't really make anything out. Then she pulled out a binder to show us some pictures of how she sees spirits and such. She puts her binder of pictures away and then she simply started talking.
The first person to come through surprised us a bit. She said his name without us saying anything at all. My sister starts bawling (if you know her, this doesn't surprise you!). The medium also says she feels an emptiness in her chest. The person she was referring to was our uncle who committed suicide. He kept coming back throughout our reading and adding a piece to the puzzle. We couldn't confirm or deny some of the things she said because we didn't see him in the days before and weren't part of any events regarding his death after his funeral. The medium said that he was very happy with how the funeral turned out and that he was with his wife and daughter.
Next, she asked us if we had put anything in his coffin. We both said no so she explained that she was seeing a hand going into a coffin. My sister said that she will do that at most funerals as her way of saying goodbye. She then asked if the last person she did that to was a man and my sister replied with a yes (Her husband's uncle). The medium said that he wanted to thank her for doing that and it was very powerful for him.
Next, she heard someone playing "I did it my way" by Frank Sinatra on guitar. The only person we know who played guitar was our mom's dad. The medium mentioned that this person would have been gone at least 15 year and Pepere B would the only one gone that long. I was only 4 when he passed so it would have been tough for me to truly confirm or deny any other details had she given them.
Following him was who we think is a connection with our dad's dad. He was showing her a large building with trees and some land behind it. She said that he was quite persistent which totally sounds like our Pepere A. Before we said who we thought it was she said that she wanted to connect this person to our dad so that was also fitting. She also mentioned that he was with a woman saying that they were happy. After Memere A passed away, our Pepere was not the same man. He missed her so much and just wanted to be with her again.
Next, there was a "Dave." That's all he would say and the medium said that she could smell oranges. She said this "Dave" either liked oranges or that it was specific to his funeral. Those are pretty broad statements and we know a couple Dave's so we couldn't say for sure who it was.
Then, she said that someone came and started showing her a rocking chair saying that they missed it. We could only place this as our great-grandmother.
The medium then stopped and said that we had quite a group. My sister and I looked at each other and said that we were still waiting for one more. She asked if it was a woman and we said yes. The medium said that there was a woman that has been there the entire tire politely waiting to her turn. Well we freaked RIGHT OUT!!!!!!!! We mentioned about a week before our appointment that my mom's mom would likely just be hanging around but too polite to say anything. Memere B was just the most amazing woman and was always so polite and kind. The medium commented that her aura was very beautiful as well. The medium said that it might compel her to come forward if we asked a question so my sister asked hers and got the answer she had hoped for. Then the medium asked if either of us had gotten a ring. On my 18th birthday, Memere B had giving me a ring she had for a while because it was a similar color to my birthstone. The medium was also seeing a brooch or pin. Neither of us had received a pin but Memere B had many. She then said that Memere B was offering her a rosary. Our Memere was a devout catholic and found great peace in praying the rosary. Never did we say that we or any of our family were catholic.
That's where our reading ended. It was such a great experience. On the way home, we listened to the CD that she burned for us. there may have been a few generic comments or lead ins but overall, we were please. I almost want to go see a different one to compare results or have someone else close to us go and see who they connect to. I think both my sister and I would recommend the medium we saw. If you'd like her information, please let me know and I will forward it on to you.
