Gina McKinney's validation with her daughter Caitlin Karina Hemby

I was fortunate to have my daughter come through during Karina Hemby's recent Gallery Reading. 

Karina accurately described my daughter's long blond hair. She accurately described her many visits to doctors and her year-long illness. Karina talked about how it was thought that it was first one thing, then it turned out to be something else. My daughter had terrible back pain and went to see doctor after doctor. It wasn't until they went to the ER that it was discovered that she had lymphoma. I thought that this could also relate to the fact that my daughter battled kidney disease for many years, and then came down with lymphoma as a result of the immunosuppression medication for her kidney transplant. So, first she battled kidney disease, and then later she battled cancer. 

Karina mentioned several things that related to my own private thoughts. 

First and foremost, I have so many regrets and thoughts about what we should've done. Like, if we had done ABC instead of XYZ, my daughter would still be here. I've tried to accept that it was just her time to go, but, still it's hard. We wanted to save her. We trusted her doctors, and her doctors made mistakes. It helped to hear from Caitlin through Karina that there really was nothing I could've done.

Secondly, I've been concerned that I haven't been getting signs. Karina assured me that my daughter is still sending them. My husband was sitting in the room with me, but off-camera. He was looking out the window. He later told me after the reading that while Karina was talking about signs, a hummingbird was hovering outside the window for the longest time, looking in at us. Karina told me that my daughter would send me hearts. Later that same evening I went outside and found a lovely pink heart-shaped petal in one of my bougainvillea plants. The next day I took my grandchildren to a river to play, and we came home with seven heart-shaped rocks. 

Thirdly, Karina talked about my daughter not being alone. This is something that has been on my mind lately. She mentioned a grandma, "Nana" or "Nanny". My husband's grandmother was "Nanny", though I incorrectly said "Nana". Karina mentioned someone named "Tony". I have an Uncle Tony that passed when he was just 17. She also mentioned an Aunt with an R name, possibly Rita. My father had twelve siblings in all. I struggle to remember all of their names, but I do remember my Aunt Rosie. That's the only R name I could come up with. Karina's description of her as a character felt accurate.

Karina mentioned a necklace with a heart. I could not think of a necklace like that, but my daughter had given me a charm bracelet with a heart and the first initial of each of her children. Sadly, I have lost it. I hope that Karina is correct that it is in the house and will turn up. 

I want to thank you, Irene, Karina, and everyone with Helping Parents Heal that helps make these communications possible.I talk to my daughter all the time. It helps to have validation that she hears me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
