Franciska Bittan's Validation with her son Matthew

I wanted to share with you an amazing sign I received from Matthew for my birthday/pre-wedding. It's a bit long, but worth the story as I feel out of all the signs I've received this one takes the cake, in detail and the timeline. Still wrapping my head around it! But feeling so grateful and happy:) Read More

Katie and Jim Brewer's Validation with their son Reid

It has been almost 10 months since Jake Samoyedny did a reading for me and my husband. The reading was such a healing moment in our lives. And yet, we never thanked him or gave him any feedback. I suppose so early in our grief, we just existed and couldn't function like "normal" people. Read More

Annalee Palmer's Validation with Kileigh through Suzanne Giesemann

Our daughter Kileigh transitioned on December 20, 2018, at the age of nine. It was a sudden, undiagnosed illness. Out of left field. When we saw her little body at her memorial service I knew that it was not my girl. There was no way that a spirit as bright as hers could just cease to exist. Being the primary caregiver of a child with disabilities for 9 years, suddenly I felt as though I had no purpose here. I vividly remember the gut-wrenching feeling of just wanting to be with her. I never thought of ending my own life, I simply had no desire to live anymore. Read More

Brian Smith's Validation through Zoe

Our 14-year-old lab mix began slowing down a few months ago. I knew the day that we would have to say goodbye was coming soon. I could not bring myself to let her go.

December 1st, 1987 changed my life forever; my 9- year-old son Kelly James died from a malignant brain tumor.
