Jesse / Shelby May
June 12, 2025
I tuned into the Helping Parents Heal gallery readings by Shelby May. When she described a man who lost control of his motorcycle in the twilight as he was returning to his home, I knew she was talking about my son Jesse. He was returning home alone on his motorcycle from a pleasant evening with his aunt and uncle when he passed to the next world.
Her description of him was spot on: he had a big heart, and he was not happy unless everyone was happy. He would cheer everyone around him up, making him the life of parties and a good friend. As a child, he had a big sand pile that he loved playing in with a yellow Tonka truck.
Shelby said that I have been doing well to adjust to his absence in the physical world, but that I had lost ground in my progress lately. This is true: a friend of Jesse’s recently moved into our area here in Texas, and after spending hours with her recently telling each other stories about the parts of Jesse’s life with us, the joy of reliving these stories sent me over the edge of the abyss in the weeks that followed. My grief felt like it was back where it all began that summer night that he passed.
Shelby relayed messages of comfort from Jesse that astonished me because they were about exactly the concerns that have been on my mind lately. Every message opened my heart up and gave me a feeling of connection to Jesse that I was wanting. Jesse wanted me to know that he was trying to reach me through music. This really resonated with me because in that this past year, every concert I have gone to has made me cry. The beauty of the music just was releasing something in me, and the tears just flowed as I listened.
This reading and the messages from my son has made me realize I have not taken the time to listed to a the stack of used music CDs that I purchased many months ago. I have since been listening to them since the reading, and they have brought me peace.
Thank you so much, Shelby and Helping Parents Heal! You are all angels!
