Holding Hands from the Other Side
Grief has a funny way of surfacing out of nowhere…any trigger at any time. After my husband passed four years ago, I have found those deeply sad times have greatly reduced, but not our memories. The memories of our fifty-four years together still pop up all the time. Today I was thinking how we’d go…

Positivity & Release for ’26!
I often speak about the glass half full as a goal, especially as I grieve the loss of my husband. Reminding myself to be grateful for the 54 years we had is certainly easier said than done, but I’m working on it. And today, January 1st, I give myself that reminder again as a New…

Four-Year Angelversary
My husband, Jack, passed away four years ago today, and, in order not to have a hard day of sadness, I said a prayer last night asking Jack to help me to have a happy day. I set my intention to try to focus, not on his death, but on our 54 years of loving…

A Post Father’s Day Reading!
Every now and then I miss my late husband, Jack, so much that I ask my/our medium, Gail (GailandSpirit.com), for a reading. Maybe it was Father’s Day that just triggered the grief again, but I was so needing it. I had my reading today, and Gail was amazing. My late husband’s energy is always so…

Remember the Frog?
Well, this time it took three, strangely related, and synchronistic events to get my attention from my late husband’s spirit. It’s been over three years since he passed, and his signs were overwhelmingly prolific the first year. In fact, I wrote a book describing them all (You Don’t Know Jack!: How Antics from My Late…

…Or Was It?
In my last post, I denied that a live frog in my kitchen, beeping on the stove sensors, was a sign from my late husband. It seemed that because there was an explanation for the beeps, it wasn’t a sign. Well, I’ve since had several people respond to that post telling me they felt it…
