Grace and Tricia / Kathy MacMannis

I received an amazing reading from Kathy MacMannis on March 18th, 2025. This reading was especially beautiful because I was not feeling very connected or hopeful on this night and was not feeling like I would get a reading. But as Kathy spoke the evidence began to pile up that my daughter Grace was there.

Grace loved to sing through the house, played guitar, had taken a handspring class and had tried out speech and debate (something we had had much debate about!) When Kathy said “Katy Perry” and the song “Firework,” I knew it was Grace. She loves Katy Perry and had passed on the 4th of July, 2023. Grace also loves to use songs to communicate. What followed was an incredible visit with Grace.

Kathy started out by saying she felt like she wanted to stand up taller as Grace compared their heights. Grace always did this with me to prove she was taller.

Kathy experienced Grace's quick mind, her quick wit and humor, and how she would tell you her whole day when she walked in the room like a breath of fresh air. Kathy knew that Grace and I were tight like sisters, and at one point asked Grace to slow down because she talked so fast - something I used to do all the time when Grace’s voice moved faster than my mind could follow.

Kathy knew that Grace had come through quickly after her passing and said that Grace wanted to talk more about me than herself because of her giving nature. This was Grace, always putting other people first.

Kathy knew that I was working on my connection with Grace and said that Grace was telling me not to question it, then referred to the different words and rhythm that Grace used in our automatic writing.

Then she referenced the large feather that we had just gotten as a sign for St Patrick's day!

Kathy finished by letting me know that Grace was urging me to keep working on my connection. “You’re there,” she said. This reading proved to me that I am connected even when I don't feel like I am. Grace is always with me.

Thank you, Kathy and thank you Helping Parents Heal!
