Stories of Validation -
After Psychic Medium Jamie Clark spoke to our parent group at our October meeting of Helping Parents Heal - Scottsdale, I received two amazing validation stories from parents who attended.  They are beautiful and heartwarming.  I am sure that you will find them as uplifting as I did.

My son Sam, my only child, the light of my life, was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 19 and passed away just 9 months later on November 14, 2011.  At the time he was diagnosed he was playing in a band, attending community college, and had just started a new part time job.  In the 3 years since he passed I have received various signs (some quite amazing!) from him and he has visited my dreams several times.  I know without a doubt these signs and visits are from him.  I have never visited a medium though and although I have been to several HPH meetings where there was a group reading Sam never came through…..until the meeting last month with Jamie Clark.  The weeks leading up to that meeting were particularly difficult for me. My husband has wanted desperately to move from our home since Sam died and I have equally as desperately wanted to stay in the home where we raised our son.  Without going into detail, the whole moving thing has become a huge issue. On the drive to the HPH meeting I said to Sam that this would be a great time to come through and help me figure out what to do.  I thought maybe if Sam came through I would be more confident that he would be with me no matter where we live and I would be more willing to agree to a move.  Imagine my surprise when Jamie looks at me and the very first thing he mentions is that moving is an issue for me and that it was like I needed to be pushed to do it and that it would not be a bad thing for me!  Wow…just wow!  He then said my son liked to send me signs with music and didn’t I just receive a sign before the meeting?  Sam loved music and that is how he expressed himself in life. Although I get signs in a variety of ways music is by far the most common.  When I had pulled into the parking lot before the meeting one of the songs that I know comes from Sam came on the radio! So yes Sam had just sent me a sign!  Jamie then said that my son said I was the absolute best Mom he could have ever had…because he picked me. Now to anyone else listening that might sound like a general statement that could apply to most Moms…but when Sam was sick we talked a lot about the afterlife and I shared with him my belief that when we are born we pick the parents we will be born to.  Sam was telling me I was right about this.  In his last few months Sam would often say “you are the best Mom I could ever have” and I would always reply  “well you are the best son I could ever have”.  So for me that was a very specific validation…Jamie didn’t just say your son loves you, he used the same words Sam and I said to each other over and over.  Words that were very specific and private to Sam and me.

It was an amazing experience.  While I never really doubt that Sam is still with me and sending me signs the reading from Jamie was an incredible affirmation. Not only was he saying things he could only know from Sam, I could feel Sam’s presence in the room!  So now on those difficult days that are filled with missing Sam I have this experience to help remind me that Sam is with me and trying to help me make it through!

William 'Bill' Seese and his son Jeff
Jeff Seese
My son Jeff and I were separated by distance but not in spirit.  My daughters have been the same, close in spirit yet removed by distance.  So on Thursday October 23, 2014 I was sitting at a meeting of Helping Parents Heal in the back of the room, listening to the presenter, Psychic Medium Jamie Clark. Two-thirds of the way through the program, Jamie turned to me and said, “Yes, you in the maroon shirt.  You have lost someone very recently”. I'm thinking of my neighbors, three of whom have passed away.  The next day, on Friday October 24, 2014, I also learned that a longtime friend and husband of a good friend in high school had also passed away!  This was unknown to me at the meeting and his passing coincided with the time of our meeting.  
 
I had always told my son “You’ll be late for your own funeral” and I therefore felt he would not show at the meeting.  However, when Jamie established a connection with my son, I realized that he had heard my request. Jamie stated that “You may not know it and you did not expect your son, but he's here!”  Jamie also repeated the exact words that I had told my son: “You’ll be late for his own funeral!” Jamie gave many validations that only my son and I would know.  Jamie mentioned a phone call and said that it was left up to one of his sisters to notify me on a day I was on call at work.  This call is significant, as only my son's sisters would have known of this particular call.
 
Here is a little bit about my son Jeff:  He passed from a heart attack when he was 34 in Spencer, NY. Along with his surviving mom and his three sisters, Jeff also has a son, J.J., who still lives in Smithboro, NY. Jeff was on the Tioga Center wrestling team and placed third overall in state competition two successive years before leaving high school. Jeff worked in a lumber mill and was seriously injured in a lumber accident at the age of 23 when a load of trees broke loose from a flat bed truck. However, his severe back injuries did not keep him down; he remained jovial and loved life. Jeff loved the outdoors and was handy at building and repairing automobiles. Jeff's favorite animal was the eagle and his favorite verse was Isaiah 40:31. The town where Jeff lived prior to his passing has a population of less than 100. Jeff’s memorial service brought out more than 200 friends who remembered Jeff as a good family man, a true friend and one who is willing to give you the shirt off his back. Jeff's favorite candy bar was and will always be a Three Musketeers!
 
Keep the faith and the mind open for a spiritual connection to your family members and friends that have "graduated" to another level.  I truly believe that we are all together through spirit.

Charlene Gardner and her Daughter, Tara Lynn
Charlene and Tara Lynn
Tara was a “special needs” child and she was very involved in the Rotary Special Athletes & Special Olympics, God took her home when she was only 28 from a ruptured lower bowel. She was my only chld and we did everything together.  My heart aches for her daily.  But to my amazement, she shows me many signs that let me know she hasn’t left me at all.  Just because I can’t see her, I now know that she is on the other side of the veil and just living on a higher frequency; and I will join her when it’s my time.

After getting my first physical sign from my daughter on her 2nd year “Angelversary”(to let me know that she is still with me), on September 12, 2011; I began noticing more and more signs around me every day.  My daughter and I shared a love for movies especially the genre of Science Fiction/Fantasy.  We would attend the earliest matinee almost every weekend and then go out to lunch afterward.  This was our bonding time.  I should also mention that I converse with my daughter every day as if her physical presence was still with me.  In May of 2012 the movie “The Avengers” was coming out and I knew that this was a movie that she would have loved to see, (me too of course)! LOL

On the weekend of the premier I went to our regular theater at the Neshaminy AMC, in Bensalem PA and sat in the aisle that we always use to sit.  I always carry a light jacket with me and set it on the seat where my daughter would normally be sitting.  There was only one other person in my row and he was at the other end.  
I’m thoroughly enjoying the movie when about half way through the film this little toddler comes charging down my row squealing in excitement like only an innocent little child can do, and he slaps his hands down on the empty seat where my daughter would have been sitting in, and cries out “HI THERE”!  He continues to stare at the empty seat and has the most beautiful smile on his face!  Just then his mother comes scurrying down the aisle to get her little boy incessantly apologizing for his intrusion.
 
As his mother was pulling him away he turns around waves and says “Bye”.   I waved at him but I knew in my heart it wasn’t me he was looking at.  The young person at the end of the row looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands up as if saying “What the”???  Little did they both know that this sweet, innocent little boy had just given me a gift from heaven….he let me know that he could see my daughter sitting there with me, even though I couldn’t.  I felt such a warm feeling overcome me and the tears that came down my cheeks were happy ones because once again my Tara had found a way to let her mom know that she is still by my side.  If you have an open heart and an open mind our loved ones always let us know that they are closer than we can ever imagine and we are never alone.

Emails from Parents-
Linda Chapman and her Daughter, Brittany
Brittany Chapman
We have received many emails from parents who have been personally touched by a speaker at our monthly parent meetings.  This email was sent by Linda Chapman, Brittany's Mom.  She and Christine Hotchkiss were featured in the November newsletter after Psychic Medium Susanne Wilson brought Brittany and Coleyy through at the meeting.  I feel very grateful that our children are able to connect with us through these talented psychic mediums.  Linda's email follows:

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you for the email....I am still REELING from the Helping Parents Heal meeting that Medium Susanne Wilson spoke at.  I arrived to my 1st HPH meeting about 25 minutes late and sat at the back of the room Susanne Wilson was already ‎talking about her gift as a medium. Unknown to me at that time was that my friend Christine Hotchkiss was sitting in the front row and I had no knowledge that she was even coming to the meeting. Also there's no way that the Susanne could have known that Christine & I knew each other. I was highly skeptical of anything like this before and had no knowledge of the speaker nor met her at all but attended this particular meeting at the urging of another friend, Kim Camacho-Brown who lost her son Austin. Kim didn't come to this meeting.  But after that night I fully believe that my beautiful Brittany is ok and was truly present there.

Brittany had just gotten a new tattoo shortly before her accident that said LOVE ALWAYS REMAINS just below her left collarbone. It's the title of a song by a group called MGMT.  She was an organ donor (unknown to me) on her license. I was absolutely blown away when Susanne fumbled with, but said, the actual words of my deceased daughter Brittany's recent tattoo that she had done just before she was killed:  'Love Always Remains'.  I've been on "Cloud 9" ever since and my heart was comforted at last by that.  There is NO way she could've possibly known what her tattoo said or the fact that Christine Hotchkiss's daughter Nicole had died before my daughter did.  She said Nicole welcomed my daughter into the afterlife and that she made a "big" entrance!!  And that my daughter looked just like me.  The 3rd thing she said has me wanting to find out more of the meaning if possible.  She said:  "She needs to lighten up....Linda needs to lighten up.  Do you know someone named Linda?"...Wow!!.
 
Brittany has been an angel for 3 years now.  She was 21 and out drinking with her friends on Friday night of Labor Day weekend 2011 at a Coeur d'Alene, ID downtown bar.  She left the bar around 1:30 am and got into her car, which was across the street, alone with a blood alcohol of .31.  She drove onto the I-90 freeway, hit the center divider, rolled once, stuck her temple and caused her brain to hemorrhage. Her only other injury was a small cut on her chin.  Declared brain dead 8 hrs later and then the next day she was harvested for all her major organs, bones of her arms and legs, corneas....The next day after all that is when I got the initial phone call of "there's been an accident".  So I missed being at the hospital to be with my first born baby and say goodbye.  Susanne's words have brought immeasurable comfort to me from that night, Elizabeth....I can't thank you enough for having her as a guest speaker.....And the fact that she got that much info without me even speaking to her or nothing!! I arrived 25 mins late, sat in the back of the room, no less!!  Absolutely unreal. 
 
Love,

Linda Chapman
