1:39

expect, didn't even know who

1:41

I was. I And honestly, probably

1:44

probably didn't even care, right? He was doing

1:46

this for his wife. the And the first thing

1:48

his wife says when we hop into the

1:50

room is, you know, we lost our son. son.

1:52

And I And I already felt it before I

1:55

came into the reading, reading, but. but...

1:57

The information the the

1:59

messages. that their son gave

2:01

were absolutely mind -blowing, exceeded any

2:03

expectation I ever would have

2:05

had of I ever just mind

2:07

-blowing had absolutely amazing and I

2:09

actually felt and saw. and the

2:12

2:18

2:29

So welcome. How do you

2:31

pronounce your name? Taryn. your name? Taran? Yes. And

2:33

the with you is Jake. Nice to

2:35

meet you Nice to to meet you. Nice

2:38

to meet you guys ever been to a medium

2:40

before? to a so actually I've

2:42

seen you twice in person since

2:44

our son has passed. in person since our a

2:46

live show Oh, okay. Wait, at a live

2:48

the experience. Did you get a read?

2:50

the experience. Did so. a

2:53

reading? Yeah, so, well... you you address that you talk to

2:55

talk to everyone I don't, lot of

2:57

spirits of coming to you. say anything,

2:59

because I don't usually know anything, but

3:02

I did know before coming but I

3:04

and it's only because I know into,

3:06

I feel when I go into a

3:08

reading when you lost a child. that

3:10

you lost a child. So it's actually harder for

3:12

me to read someone if I know

3:15

something about them. So I don't think

3:17

people understand that. So that's why I'm

3:19

always very adamant, like I don't like

3:21

to know things because I never I

3:23

to filter anything that I'm getting because

3:25

my job is just to say whatever

3:27

it is that I sense and feel. I'm

3:30

I'm just going to ask you this

3:32

because it was odd. is Did your son,

3:34

say was he old enough to eat I

3:36

sense and feel. I'm just going to ask us, because see the

3:38

head bitten off. I don't even like

3:40

sour patches. he old Did he like candy

3:42

or something? Yeah, he fan a fan

3:44

of So I don't eat these. I don't eat these.

3:46

I literally took a bite and I

3:48

was like, to was when Alex was talking

3:50

to you. was like, why am I

3:52

eating this? I don't even like these.

3:54

I had my granddaughter yesterday yesterday she

3:56

left them on my vanity. like, I was

3:59

me to me to up. like I don't even like

4:01

these and I was like oh I wonder if

4:03

I was like oh I wonder if their child liked green and

4:05

favorite color. favorite so oh so

4:07

listen I don't think people

4:09

understand or really really get. it

4:11

is the work hard it is the work

4:13

that I do. I think people think

4:15

that whether it or even might have a hard

4:17

time believing it or even understanding it,

4:19

I have a hard time believing it

4:21

and understanding it. And this is what

4:23

I do for a living. So that's

4:25

why little things like that like that

4:27

I I always share with people because would

4:29

I know that and why would I do

4:31

that? It's not me. It's not the

4:34

soul of your your son. Yeah. Like I

4:36

I always say what I do has

4:38

nothing to do with me. has to has

4:40

to do with how open the

4:42

person is and sometimes if someone is

4:44

too eager in a reading. that can

4:46

That can affect their reading also. People don't

4:48

get that, get you know. You There are

4:50

people that come, like that been to

4:52

one of my live shows, they'll be

4:54

sitting there live things, trying to wave it

4:56

in my face. And I'm like, I

4:58

can't read you. to wave it in my face, and I'm

5:00

like, I don't think people really understand a picture.

5:03

get. think people how

5:05

hard it is, but also how it

5:07

is, but I I certain things. It's

5:09

the same thing when you

5:11

get signs from your son. Right?

5:13

right? You get signs, right? You You

5:16

second guess yourself. You're like, oh, am

5:18

I remembering this? Is this my

5:20

own personal thought, feeling emotion? Is this

5:22

wishful thinking, right? So that's what

5:24

I feel the work that I do

5:26

as a medium. I do as a I

5:28

feel what I'm able to do

5:30

for people is to give them

5:33

the gift knowing that what they

5:35

are experiencing is real is real. I

5:37

don't care. And people people might

5:39

disagree with this statement that I'm

5:41

gonna make, to make, but but... I feel is

5:43

loss is a loss, but losing

5:45

a child. is is

5:48

something that know how I

5:50

don't know how people go on.

5:52

here's this sense, you have to

5:54

go on, the sense then have to go

5:56

on right is and then that's probably

5:58

how you feel You have no... choice, but

6:00

to go on. So channeling someone's child

6:02

I think is the hardest thing

6:04

that I have to do because parents

6:06

aren't supposed to bury their children. Yeah,

6:09

and that's what you had said at one of

6:11

your shows. And it really resonated with me because

6:13

you're right, you know, like we shouldn't have, we

6:15

didn't bury him, we could have made him, but

6:17

we should have never had to deal with that. No,

6:20

absolutely not. We're supposed to protect

6:23

our children. We're supposed to go

6:25

before our children. And no matter

6:27

whether someone dies suddenly. tragically,

6:29

or we watch them suffer for

6:31

years with an illness, it doesn't

6:33

make it any easier. I think

6:35

when someone just passes of an

6:37

illness, and when they're older, we

6:39

can rationalize the departure. We can

6:41

say things to ourselves that kind

6:43

of soothe our souls. But how

6:45

do you soothe your soul when

6:47

you lose a child, and if

6:49

you feel that it could have

6:51

been prevented? Yeah. how

6:54

do we do that? So

6:56

And I feel like this is

6:58

not anything groundbreaking of what

7:00

I do. I feel like it

7:02

also gives you permission in

7:04

a sense to be able to

7:07

grieve. and heal and knowing

7:09

that it's okay to find happiness

7:11

in life. No matter who we lose

7:13

in life, our lives will never

7:15

be the same. We are changed forever

7:17

and especially a child. And I

7:19

am going to say this to you

7:22

both. You are the reason why

7:24

I do what I do. There

7:26

have been many times where

7:28

I've thought about not

7:31

doing this work anymore. Not because I

7:33

don't want to, it's because it's too

7:35

much. Yeah. it's too

7:37

much And then I

7:39

I sit and I

7:41

after channeling souls, souls, I

7:43

say, no, I, I have to, this

7:45

is my soul's journey. And I

7:48

feel that you are the people that

7:50

I look up to. because

7:52

for you to get up every day and

7:55

put your best foot forward and try to

7:57

make a best life for you and your

7:59

family, is life. Not easy. Just because

8:01

everyone be. Just be. because everyone

8:03

experiences grief. It's it's not

8:05

the same. is just to

8:07

live Yeah, and turmoil is just

8:10

tough. I'm Yeah, and that's

8:12

what I the pain of death like, is the pain

8:14

of death is universal. Everyone's gonna hurt

8:16

if you lose a loved one, but

8:18

it one, but so much deeper when it's

8:20

your child when it's your child that you you know you

8:22

know, he. I taught him everything he knows well

8:24

we taught him everything he knows so it's

8:26

just like it's it's a lot it's really

8:28

hard to like, with and come to terms with

8:30

hard to cope with and I don't think it's

8:32

anything with. I don't even know how

8:34

to even say that I to terms with,

8:37

right? How do you, you I you

8:39

just find a way to make the

8:41

days ahead a little easier, not easy. just

8:43

And a way think that the one thing,

8:45

and look, I'm not a therapist, but

8:47

I feel like that you have to

8:49

be kind to yourself in the fact

8:52

that No matter how son

8:54

is gone. you're You're gonna

8:56

have those waves of grief. You're gonna have

8:58

those waves of emotion. emotion. And, you know, we know,

9:00

we were just having this conversation before before.

9:02

was doing an interview and it was

9:04

like, and feel like you people feel once you

9:06

get through the year of the first, get

9:08

things will get easier. the no, no, oh, they'll

9:10

get will get now they're missing out on.

9:13

Look at what we feel they missed out

9:15

on. Look at what they're missing. Look would

9:17

they have been? What would they would

9:19

have been like? they have been? why I been like? I

9:21

want souls to channel the way that I

9:23

want them to channel, like like with their the

9:25

way that they were here in the

9:27

physical world, to talk about things that you

9:30

feel that they wouldn't know about. know about,

9:32

to really really validate you. you. if if

9:34

you feel we experienced this, but he wouldn't

9:36

know about this. No, no, he wouldn't know about

9:38

this. No, no, no, he knows. So

9:40

that's that's what I feel the work I feel the work that

9:43

I do and why I do the work that

9:45

I do the way that I do it, because it's

9:47

not gonna take away the pain or the grief

9:49

of the sorrow, But but just make it a little

9:51

bit easier. easier Yeah, I Yeah, a I had a

9:53

few people tell me that they hope that

9:55

I find closure in this this and I told I

9:57

told them I said going to have closure for

9:59

my son I'm only gonna have a baby to of mind

10:02

peace of mind. don't like the

10:04

word closure because I feel the

10:06

closure, closure the word to me

10:08

is so final. And I feel

10:10

the work that I do proves

10:12

that a soul a is never broken.

10:14

broken. What you might find closure

10:16

in is maybe a burden a should have

10:18

could've, would've. have. Like that's where I

10:20

feel like if you want to

10:22

use the term closure where you

10:24

might feel that. you might feel that.

10:27

through that, but but not

10:29

closure of to make make sense

10:31

or understand the passing if that

10:33

if that makes sense. Definitely. Now

10:35

Jake have you ever Jake, have

10:37

you ever been to one of my live

10:40

shows my my show? I'm being a if

10:42

I'm being a hundred percent honest. honest I

10:44

have never been to a show? Okay to

10:46

a show. Normally there are good.

10:48

things that are there are several things that

10:50

are very different already right off the bat. bat.

10:53

Normally, if I get a I get a

10:55

feeling of if someone loses a loved

10:57

one, I don't share that until it

10:59

shows it to me in the reading. don't

11:02

I don't want you to think

11:04

that because Taren said something that it's going the

11:06

reading or anything. reading or I'm going

11:08

to explain to what also people don't

11:10

realize, how do I say this without

11:12

sounding cold? how do I say this not about

11:14

who you lost. It's not about who

11:16

you could know if someone

11:19

lost someone, lost someone, like of my

11:21

friends. my friends. It's the things that

11:23

they have me say me say the gift comes

11:25

in, where the healing comes in, where the

11:27

peace comes in. the healing comes

11:29

in, So peace comes

11:31

in. Right? just give a

11:33

little quick speech because I heard

11:35

in my head, my dad

11:37

has no idea what's going on

11:39

my head, my dad has no idea what's going on to

11:42

say, Yeah. I was going to say say was

11:44

I to say, to say, I've never been to

11:46

a reading, I've never honestly, I never I never even

11:48

knew what a medium was until she

11:50

started talking about wanting to go to your

11:52

live shows to who you were and who you were

11:54

up growing show on the show on TV. I'm watching Long

11:56

Island Medium. Okay. And going And so. It It

11:58

needs to be read. I honestly

12:00

have no have no, lot of I

12:02

guess you could say like doubt I have

12:04

a lot of, I guess you could say

12:06

like to be a little bit more it, like. about

12:09

it and and trying to be a

12:11

little bit more open -minded about it open-minded

12:13

into it a little bit more open

12:15

-minded and not just so, I guess, and

12:17

I love the not knowing. you're I love the

12:19

fact that my was like no dad has no

12:21

idea what's going on me me me the me

12:24

the sour patches and the green one and

12:26

you could see I it I seen seen we were

12:28

on all three all three of us I

12:30

seen that you're like like your facial

12:32

your facial expression, was like, is she trying

12:35

something for the first time or what's

12:37

going on back there? on back there for

12:39

me, me it's I don't like those so

12:41

like like those little things are

12:43

the things that's like alright it's

12:45

and you know what? and you know

12:47

what respectfully Jake you still you might walk

12:49

away from this still being a

12:51

little, a don't know, but I

12:53

guarantee you, you'll feel your son's

12:55

presence. presence And if you just you

12:57

just have a little bit of

13:00

perspective on life or maybe

13:02

being open to the science, because

13:04

sometimes because so broken. broken that we

13:06

can't see the signs, or we don't

13:08

realize what we're we're seeing. Like I always to

13:10

explain to people too, you can't

13:12

say to your loved ones, show me

13:15

to butterflies ones, red 10 and two double

13:17

rainbows by Wednesday, then I know

13:19

these signs are from you. The

13:21

signs are the best are you're going

13:23

about your day and all of

13:25

a sudden something happens your you just

13:27

feel it, or you think of

13:29

them. and you just feel the soul.

13:31

of them, the soul soul

13:33

your attention to notice

13:35

something. something. Just just to remind you

13:38

that they haven't left you. So I'm just going

13:40

to give a little quick just gonna give

13:42

a little quick speech on how I

13:44

read more Spirit and more importantly, can

13:46

what you can. over of expect

13:48

over these next few moments. my speech to

13:50

So So I give my speech to you,

13:52

happened something interesting that happened and this

13:54

is what I always share. to When I

13:56

was talking to explain to you about

13:58

signs and symbols and I never had this

14:00

before, so I don't even know how

14:02

to explain this, but it sounds creepy.

14:04

but I felt like your son made

14:06

me feel like he wanted me to

14:08

like go under your sweatshirt. So I

14:10

don't, and I never had that feeling

14:12

before. So I don't know if you're

14:14

wearing something of his, if you're wearing

14:16

his shirt or something, but he, he

14:18

literally, and I said to him, I

14:20

go, this sounds so creepy. They might

14:22

reach out to the HR department because

14:24

Ha, ha, ha, ha. This I don't think

14:27

is, I've never said this before. like literally felt like

14:29

he wanted me to go up under your sweatshirt. Does

14:31

that make sense why don't you wear

14:33

something of his if it's his remains

14:35

or if you have a shirt on

14:37

or something That was something that

14:39

he would do to you. Yeah, I mean, was

14:42

breastfed his whole life. So he's a

14:44

titty baby So maybe that's what it is.

14:46

He likes never had that I feel

14:48

like I But wanted to go up under

14:50

the shirt. like so spirit's to give me

14:52

these little things. Because what I've also

14:54

learned through mediumship is that there are common

14:56

ways that people pass. More importantly, there

14:58

are a lot of common burdens and guilt

15:00

or should have could have would have

15:02

that we might carry connected to someone's departure.

15:04

So I would say that's not my

15:07

fault. nor spirits fault So this

15:09

is why they're gonna have me do

15:11

things. like the

15:13

sour patches crawling under the

15:15

shirt, validating these little things

15:17

to validate. his presence, that his

15:19

soul is present. And I know

15:21

that there is not one thing

15:23

that your son can have me

15:25

say or do here, Jake, that

15:27

will. take this pain or this numbing

15:29

or this emptiness that you feel that

15:31

will never go away. But

15:33

hopefully it'll leave you with some peace

15:35

and comfort of knowing that his soul

15:37

is safe in a peace, but more

15:40

importantly with God, and that he hasn't

15:42

left you, that he's with you in

15:44

a just a different way. So

15:47

I just wish you to the most

15:49

amazing and beautiful messages. And I'm gonna say

15:51

from you departed loved ones because I

15:53

see your son, but I see other loved

15:55

ones behind him. There are three of

15:57

the souls that stand behind him. So I

15:59

don't know if They're three of the people that

16:01

you've lost, or more importantly, that you wish to hear

16:03

from. But I do want to start

16:05

with a father energy. I So if it is

16:07

not either one of your a then it would

16:09

be a grandfather it is not either someone that was like

16:11

a dad to you. be a grandfather

16:13

and or Does that make sense? was Yeah.

16:15

a dad to you. Okay. Does that make sense? Yeah. Do you

16:17

live on a lot of land or

16:19

something? or something? Not a not a

16:21

lot we just bought our first

16:24

house and we we do have some

16:26

property here. some I don't have Oh,

16:28

I live don't have So I have no

16:30

land. It's like so I have no land. It's like,

16:32

was just made to feel like made to brought to a field

16:34

and there was a lot of property. to like

16:37

a field and there was a lot

16:39

of say so. Yeah. I would say I

16:41

think square footage of my house

16:43

is like footage of my or something. 80

16:45

by 120 or something. I land. I have no land. Fair

16:47

enough. enough. So, see, I doodle I doodle I

16:50

talk, so I I talk. So I

16:52

felt that it was side of side

16:54

of the family where the souls

16:56

were coming from and then they

16:58

had me from, So they had me just

17:00

a lot of land. So if

17:02

you purchase this home after the

17:05

passing of your son, or just

17:07

also acknowledging where you after the that

17:09

the soul hasn't left. or want to

17:11

go to like the left corner of the

17:13

yard because when I face the yard I guess

17:15

I want to look to the left, but

17:17

I feel like that there's something in the yard

17:19

in memory of your son I don't care if

17:21

you planted a tree if there's a bench if

17:23

there's a bench. Yeah, he has

17:25

a a tree. Okay, so know know that he knows

17:28

of the tree was this planted after him.

17:30

after him? Yeah, cousin got it

17:32

for his birthday. his So So that

17:34

he knows the watches over the

17:36

tree, which is very unique because

17:38

a soul never says to me

17:40

watches over the tree, but he

17:42

made me feel like tree almost

17:44

died that the it wasn't doing well. died.

17:46

Or maybe he wasn't doing well? I'm not a green thumb and

17:48

when my cousin brought that for

17:50

me, I was like, like I'm gonna to

17:52

kill this, you know? And we

17:54

tried everything we it. And then

17:56

we did then we did like this transplant

17:58

juice. that's to help it and

18:00

for a a minute it wasn't doing

18:02

good and I cried to him

18:04

and now it's it's thriving it's doing

18:06

a lot better. So because I I

18:08

said see why it's why it's important when

18:10

I usually souls will acknowledge him he goes I gotta

18:12

watch over that dawn thing and

18:14

I'm like like why like he's like oh. It

18:16

died. died. So validating for you that when for

18:19

you that when when it's saying that

18:21

when you receive the tree when

18:23

it was planted when you were

18:25

going through this buying all these

18:27

juices doing juices, doing whatever it is and

18:29

that his it is, was present for

18:31

that. was present for that.

18:33

he pass quickly and

18:35

unexpected? Um,

18:37

I quickly it wouldn't

18:39

say it was unexpected because CPAT.

18:41

even if a soul if ill. ill.

18:44

Okay, even even if someone has

18:46

something or even if something

18:48

happens, if something happens, okay? It's acknowledging

18:50

that we weren't expecting them to

18:52

pass the day that they

18:54

died. that they died. So did you did

18:56

you think he had more time? I think this

18:58

think this is more for Jake. Do you

19:00

understand that, Jake? Jake? Yeah. Your your son

19:02

just said to me, I need my

19:05

dad to know that I don't want

19:07

him to feel that now you have

19:09

to interpret this your own way that

19:11

you should have spent more time with

19:13

me more time with me that you should have

19:15

did this or you should have done

19:17

that if you knew that he wasn't

19:20

long for this physical world he he told

19:22

me that you felt that he had

19:24

more time. that you felt that

19:26

he had more time yeah most definitely

19:29

that he says, he don't want you

19:31

to feel guilty about that. that

19:34

Bad or sad sad about

19:36

that. have like oh? I don't know you have this

19:38

oh, I don't know how to say this because he

19:40

showed me like he was in a bed I I would

19:42

see you coming into the room. and there

19:44

was there was like way that you would either I

19:46

don't know if you had a special

19:48

hug or a way that you greeted

19:50

each each other like a handshake or that

19:52

you always did something that was just

19:54

between you and him him I'm

20:01

I'm trying to to think and right

20:03

now nothing's coming to me.

20:05

Okay. Okay, just don't, I'm how how

20:30

I I say it to you, my job is

20:32

just to make sure that I interpret it

20:34

correctly. I Just because we don't understand it doesn't

20:36

mean that it's wrong. So understand it that I interpret

20:38

it correctly, I'm going to move on. I, being

20:40

that he So it might be something I might

20:42

see a picture of the way that you

20:44

20:47

him up in the air or you it is.

20:49

21:00

a chill or a goose bump? Kind of, yeah. of,

21:21

me the way that we had our

21:23

21:27

He says that will always

21:30

will always make you feel better. Now we're

21:33

not planning on having

21:35

not planning on having another baby. he

21:37

made me because he made me feel like

21:39

that your child that you have now now

21:42

Was a gift from from him

21:44

He Oh because they were

21:46

He says because they were

21:48

not expecting to have another

21:50

baby. felt a month before he

21:52

his his sibling. a gift. Now

22:00

22:17

I got. big I got. them how

22:19

big I got. I got. I go, okay, that

22:21

his soul has grown. He made

22:24

me feel like that. feel There

22:26

are things are things Jake that...

22:28

Things to you and you're not

22:30

realizing that it's your son. that

22:32

it's your playing with you. with

22:34

you. There are are several things he

22:36

showed me me, you have to have

22:38

to interpret this your own way. way. He He

22:40

brought me to like a garage or

22:42

like a shed a there's all tools. all tools.

22:45

And go in and when they show

22:47

me me like, I go I go to get

22:49

my my hammer. Well my wrench, and I know I

22:51

put it right here. It's not there. there

22:53

I spend like a half an hour of Then I

22:55

go back go it's in the original spot

22:57

that I looked. that I looked that happened to

22:59

you. to you yeah I don't know how spirit does I

23:01

don't know how spirit does this, but your

23:03

son is taking responsibility for that. would say he I

23:05

would of made me feel of made me feel it

23:07

because this is now, again, you you have

23:10

to interpret this your own way. He made

23:12

me feel like feel you were working in the

23:14

garage the he would do that, like he

23:16

would take something and you'd be looking for it

23:18

and then you'd find him with it or

23:20

he would just put it back. put

23:22

it back. Yeah. So know when those things

23:24

happen, Imagine

you that exact moment moment.

24:35

Was there a

24:37

there. where when moment

24:39

where when you were pregnant

24:42

with him. him that that

24:44

you were afraid I

24:46

don't know if I don't know if

24:48

you thought something was wrong. was or

24:50

that that you possibly

24:53

might not be not be

24:55

able to carry him to term. him to

24:57

term? Yeah, so so or somewhere that had passed, he was

24:59

was premature. I I I had preeclampsia, so

25:01

I had him at 34 weeks, I so

25:04

I was terrified to get pregnant again

25:06

because I wasn't sure if I would

25:08

get preeclampsia again, and then I also

25:10

had the fear sure if I would get another

25:12

child with cancer. again. those

25:14

two were constantly on my

25:16

mind. having another that he says.

25:19

So those don't want you to look

25:21

at. on my my life. know that he says,

25:23

I would say, I don't He says, God gave

25:25

me my life. God gave us that

25:27

time. Because he made me feel

25:29

like he would not have survived or

25:31

should have survived. or should

25:33

the pregnancy. So whatever it was, if

25:35

there was that thought, it so I want

25:37

you to look at it that we

25:39

thought, he says, so I want you years.

25:42

at it that feel like your new

25:44

child. almost three no

25:46

issues whatsoever. like your new child,

25:48

there's no issues healthy,

25:50

yeah. Is there there something

25:53

with his foot, or like do you you comment

25:55

about his feet? his foot like turned

25:57

in, or like a toe that's turned

25:59

or something? something? He, I tell him he I tell

26:01

him he has toes like his brother all

26:03

the time, time. And and he has,

26:05

he has my feet, fat little toes

26:07

and we are tiny little toenails. toenails.

26:09

So no, like, I know like, I know that

26:11

sounds silly, but how would I

26:13

know that? Or why you, these are things

26:15

that you would never expect if

26:17

you had a reading that, that your

26:19

son would talk about this. about this. So

26:21

know that that when you say those

26:24

things, it's validating that his soul is

26:26

present. I'm I'm saying

26:28

all of these things first because I feel

26:30

that he said something to me he said

26:32

of needed a minute. He said to me,

26:34

I need my parents to know. me I

26:36

I don't know why he's having me say

26:38

my parents. So that has to be

26:40

a reason for this. say my That they held

26:42

me as I took my first breath

26:44

and as I took my last breath. I took

26:46

my So I think that it's important breath.

26:49

So I to also acknowledge that. and

26:52

He felt so much

26:54

love. much love. from the

26:56

both of you. you. Okay. I literally

26:59

I literally felt like.

27:01

afraid when he He was not

27:03

afraid when he died. everything that they

27:05

could And there's a parents did everything

27:07

that they could and there's a

27:09

part of me and I don't

27:11

know how to so I I don't

27:13

know if know if etiquette or not,

27:15

but he said please tell he said

27:18

dad that that he didn't lie to me. me.

27:20

Because he made me feel like you would

27:22

always say, you don't worry, buddy, say, you're

27:24

gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay. You're

27:27

gonna get better. It's gonna be okay. okay,

27:29

He says, I need my dad to

27:31

know that I am okay He better, but

27:33

it's not the better that we am for. and

27:35

better, but it's he says and I

27:37

need my we to know that heaven is

27:39

for real need my dad to know

27:42

that heaven that for real. There is

27:44

a there is a God. And I don't

27:46

want him to lose faith in that. that.

27:50

So you have to understand I'm

27:52

channeling your son who might be

27:54

around the age of of right? right?

27:56

Oh, he would still hear the

27:59

physical, right? Me and May.

28:01

Three? Yeah. A

28:03

communication is very different because the

28:06

soul is, and especially in

28:08

your son's case, is an old

28:10

soul. So

28:12

the way that

28:14

they communicate. is going

28:16

to be I don't even have to explain

28:18

like on a spiritual level it's not like if

28:20

they were here in the physical world in

28:23

a sense the way that they communicate with me

28:25

he just keeps showing me and I don't

28:27

know why this is so important but I'm in

28:29

a bed and I just feel you laying

28:31

with me So

28:33

did you physically lay in the bed with him?

28:36

Uh, me, yes, I did. Yeah.

28:38

But I think that this is

28:41

important because he, every time he

28:43

makes me feel this, he says,

28:45

tell my parents. So

28:47

I think that it's important,

28:49

Jake. that if you

28:51

leave this experience with nothing else. Know

28:53

that your son made me feel as

28:55

if you were laying with him. and

28:58

that you were holding him. And not

29:00

feeling that I should have done that,

29:02

why didn't I do that? Now,

29:06

would you always stand also at the

29:08

end of the bed, Jake? Yeah.

29:10

Because he just showed me you at the end of

29:13

the bed like rubbing my feet So

29:16

that he says

29:18

dad I need

29:20

you to know. that

29:22

I felt as if you were holding me

29:25

as I took my last breath. He

29:27

had me close my eyes. I don't know

29:29

if you saw me closing my eyes several times.

29:31

The vision that he showed me was him

29:33

in a bed with both of you laying on

29:35

each side of him. And then he showed

29:37

me you standing at the foot of the bed,

29:39

Jake. rubbing his feet. So

29:42

knowing that, would you use to bounce

29:45

the end of the bed or something?

29:48

In the hospital I used to

29:50

What are you doing? He goes

29:52

to my he would he would make me feel like like

29:54

the bed was moving and he used to like shake

29:56

the end of the bed like out on the mattress. I

30:00

used to in the the hospital, when he was doing

30:02

his treatments, I would grab the like, I I

30:04

guess you can call it a like, I guess you

30:06

I would shake it. And then when we were

30:08

at home in our bed, I would put

30:10

my hands on both sides of him and I

30:12

would put back and forth between both sides and

30:15

like shake him. like go was a common thing.

30:17

between both sides come and think

30:19

for you. him. It was a common thing. A

30:21

for me and him. It was Right? for

30:23

me and him. It And this

30:25

is what I love about I

30:28

love about your experience. is what your

30:30

your son so proud

30:32

of his soul I'm so

30:34

proud of his soul right

30:36

now. single he

30:39

is showing you and every single

30:41

person that is listening, know these

30:43

no way I would know these

30:45

things, right? way that you greeted the

30:47

way that you greeted him, to

30:49

you used to mooch on him.

30:51

these are are things that are

30:53

so specific to you. to you

30:55

Definitely. in the entire

30:58

world would know but him know but

31:00

Ducked Definitely. So these

31:02

these are the things

31:04

that I souls the most

31:06

about and and the like

31:08

most about me so I don't then he

31:10

like keeps showing me so I

31:12

don't know to make I don't know

31:14

if you're going to make something

31:17

or okay there are several things I

31:19

don't I don't think they're... are all 100%

31:21

% correct, I so I don't know if if he's

31:23

trying to get me to say something that

31:25

I've never had before. say He showed me the never

31:27

and a footprint. He showed me the Then

31:29

he showed me a portrait of him, but then

31:31

I felt like they a me him.

31:33

But a, in a frame or

31:35

something. So do you have

31:37

those things? something. So do you his, those things?

31:40

Yeah. You a, in a little

31:42

shadow box. in And then, um,

31:44

we have a picture of him,

31:46

of him. this little logo framed

31:48

of him. of him. I I

31:50

can't see it. Oh, you you have

31:53

37:33

moment to yourself. Do you understand that,

37:35

Jake? that, Jake? Have you

37:37

you done that? I've I've sat in the

37:39

truck recently and and reminisced, I

guess you would. Know guess you would son's

37:44

know that your son's soul was with you. you

37:46

weren't alone alone in that

37:48

moment Know that he was with you

37:50

at that exact moment Your

37:54

son is very funny, and and

37:56

I almost feel like this is

37:59

something is something that I don't know if I don't

38:01

even know if I should

38:03

say this or not, your son goes, Teresa,

38:05

why do you keep thinking this? But son goes

38:07

not telling my why do you keep

38:09

is but you're not telling my dad? You

38:11

think my dad is handsome? Why

38:13

don't you tell him how handsome

38:16

he is? something that you would always say

38:18

to your son don't know know if that's that

38:20

you would always say to your

38:22

son I don't know if that's something

38:24

Like I you will we say to there's

38:26

feel like there's got to be

38:28

something more than that Does that make

38:30

sense? I spoke I spoke love and so

38:32

I would always tell him like

38:34

how perfect and handsome he is tell him

38:36

like how I mean, yeah, I've been,

38:39

I think I have a

38:41

good looking husband. I mean, yeah, I've been, I

38:43

Yeah, but it's not just

38:45

so, can I use the term

38:47

Yeah, that? not It's, it's about

38:49

the soul. It's about, and I

38:51

don't know, is there someone

38:53

questioning their faith? I don't know, is

38:55

there someone I'd be me.

38:57

their faith? So So, cause I said

38:59

to your son, I go, son be

39:01

more than this of you saying

39:03

this, you know. more than he

39:05

said, you need my mom to

39:07

know. and He said I

39:09

need When I got to

39:11

know that I thanked God. to heaven

39:14

I thanked for my

39:16

parents, my for my mom. for

39:18

my her always making

39:20

me feel safe. feel

39:23

safe and knowing that everything

39:25

that she told me, I knew

39:27

I was going to be okay.

39:29

to be okay and I I need her

39:31

to know that I am

39:33

okay. my soul is now soul is now

39:35

an angel. at And when she looks

39:37

at the sky and she sees that

39:39

the clouds change into a shape

39:41

of a heart or in a shape

39:43

of an angel, an that that is

39:45

me showing myself to her her knowing

39:48

that that is me. is me so does

39:50

that happen to you? to you Taran?

39:52

Yeah, that's my biggest concern

39:54

is that that um I just want

39:56

to know that he's he's okay. I've been

39:58

really worried about about how he's if he's

40:00

cold, if he's hungry, if he thinks thinks

40:02

that, him, like I've been really really

40:04

worried about that. really worried about that.

40:06

my mind ever since on my mind So

40:08

that brings me peace of mind. me

40:11

he is because he made me feel

40:13

like you breathe all this faith

40:15

into your husband. Like you

40:17

want him more than anything to

40:19

believe in an an afterlife, yet but

40:21

yet you're questioning it yourself. it

40:23

yourself. Yeah, this is the is the insane

40:25

thing. I talked about this

40:28

before we even got into the

40:30

reading how people how people could be the

40:32

be the most faithful people of all

40:34

of that goes out the

40:36

window when they lose a loved

40:38

one. I know know is such a

40:40

unique experience because things

40:43

the way things the way that

40:45

we start out the conversation that

40:47

we had before And it truly validates an afterlife. It

40:49

validates the soul bond. and more

40:51

importantly that there's something about your

40:53

son because he keeps telling me

40:56

tell them How big I am he

40:58

keeps show them how long my

41:00

hair big I big come, show them how long

41:02

my hair got. Look how big I am.

41:04

So, and I don't I don't know,

41:06

did you give one of your son's

41:08

toys to your new son? Well,

41:10

you had son, son, correct? I have two I

41:12

have two boys, Leland and his

41:15

brother brother now. So did you give him,

41:17

cause I feel like he showed me this

41:19

thing in my head me give that back

41:21

to me. That's mine. like, no, give that back to me.

41:23

That's mine. His little brother does have some of

41:25

his toys. some of I want you to

41:27

know that I'm not giving him all your

41:29

toys, I'm some of them. him all your I

41:31

love, he's already telling you, like, you know,

41:33

I know that you're giving him my

41:35

toys. Like it's okay. Like I'm there when

41:37

you're doing that. I almost feel like

41:40

he's playing with him. So Like, I'm your son

41:42

41:44

he gets older, he might it. about an friend

43:52

celebration of life in my

43:54

truck. in my truck, I did like

43:57

43:59

a half burnout. And And so

44:01

are are no tires left on

44:03

44:05

wasted. you were talking about you

44:07

like a patch talking about like

44:09

a patch or something

44:11

like that, has a patch

44:14

my sidewalk. So listen, a patch

44:16

the things about signs, right? So listen,

44:18

these are the things about

44:20

signs, right? messages and

44:22

signs that you And they can you have to

44:24

interpret them and they can have multiple meanings.

44:26

It just doesn't have to mean one

44:28

thing. They're your messages. And I'm just going

44:30

to say this to you, Jake. Jake, to

44:32

say one can tell you how to feel.

44:35

can tell you how to feel. Yeah. And Taran,

44:37

same thing for you, it's your

44:39

experience. It's what you feel,

44:41

what you know. know. Don't lose

44:43

that, hold on to that. Use

44:45

that your to your son's your sun's

44:47

soul. that's Because I think

44:49

that's one thing that frustrates me about

44:51

the work that I do is that

44:54

people people don't take something from someone

44:56

that is bringing them comfort. them

44:58

comfort. Yeah. And know what you don't have

45:00

to share to what you you with other

45:02

people. with other don't owe anyone

45:04

an explanation about anything. about

45:07

anything. do respectfully feel, Jake, and

45:09

I have to say this I have to

45:11

say you respected you my gift.

45:13

gift to come here to come here today.

45:15

I know that you probably did this

45:17

for your for your wife, it is because

45:19

it is something that she really, really

45:21

wanted. And and that she wanted you

45:24

to do. do. So I have to say to have

45:26

to say to you, I you for

45:28

that because I feel feel it. different

45:30

from when from when you sat the zoom

45:32

an an hour ago. You're

45:35

different. Again, it's not it's not taking

45:37

away the grief. It's not It's

45:39

not taking away the pain or the

45:41

sorrow, it but it doesn't sting as much.

45:43

It doesn't feel as heavy, is that

45:45

correct? Is that would say would say for

45:47

everyone that listens that listens that

45:49

it's true. It's It's not taking

45:51

away anything, but it's bringing

45:53

a little bit of happiness of happiness

45:56

knowing that they're still there. there

45:58

because obviously all. all of of

46:00

these things that you've mentioned are are

46:02

our memories current things. things. So

46:04

they're still still moving forward with

46:07

us talking about the tree talking about

46:09

the tools being misplaced. I mean

46:11

I mean, that that didn't happen it happened

46:13

just recently or now. I was asked by

46:15

her when we we were driving home, she picked

46:17

me up from work. up She goes, She

46:19

so nervous, how are you feeling? I said,

46:21

feeling? I said, we're We're gonna go

46:23

talk to Teresa. mean, mean. You weren't feeling

46:25

anything because you didn't know what

46:27

to because you You didn't care. what to expect. You

46:29

to be nervous about, you know? to

46:32

be nervous about, you know, down and seeing you

46:34

on the screen, you on the you know.

46:36

you know, talking to to your

46:38

assistant. it was It was like, okay, whatever. And

46:40

then seeing you on the screen, it's like. screen,

46:42

it's like, is really gonna happen

46:44

right now. going to happen how

46:46

this really happens see how this really happens.

46:48

And it's, definitely an

46:50

experience. It's something that. that.

46:53

I would would say it compares to

46:55

nothing else, else. it's life changing for sure.

46:57

for sure. I also want to remind you

46:59

of this you this is the thing that

47:01

I love because I feel like I reading, I feel

47:03

like someone's it's constantly giving. Like if you feel

47:05

that you got a lot of it now,

47:08

when you recall it you've got it, because when

47:10

your son said early about the first time

47:12

he made me feel like I wanted to

47:14

go up into your shirt, because I felt

47:16

like you were wearing a of of his

47:18

or something about a T -shirt, it and then

47:20

I think I even said to you or

47:22

you were wearing his cremains. What I love about that

47:25

What I love about that

47:27

message from him is

47:29

acknowledging for you not though

47:31

we did not separate the

47:33

the he supports the decision.

47:35

that's because that's someone's

47:37

personal feeling, right? Whether Whether they

47:39

should be separated, buried, kept, kept,

47:42

you know, that's for you. you. The

47:44

souls souls of the departed don't

47:46

care because they're not a

47:48

part of it. of it. So

47:50

it's it's really for you. so So to

47:53

your son, even though you're wearing

we should do, we're supposed to

49:13

do, we have to do fair

49:15

enough. like But he made me

49:17

a lot of your fear is,

49:21

which is Rightfully that that, oh my God, I can't

54:13

love the fact Jake that you saw me

54:15

God bless. Thank Thank you. God

54:41

bless you. I'm

54:47

Taryn. I'm Jake and we're both

54:49

from California. I

54:51

can't even explain it. A sense of

54:54

peace ran through me. I've been really worried

54:56

that he isn't okay. So having Teresa

54:58

tell us that he's doing okay and he's

55:00

safe, it helped us out a lot.

55:02

I'm relieved. I was going to say relief.

55:04

Yeah, it's just it's nice knowing

55:06

that he's safe and that he's okay

55:08

and that was just like something I

55:10

was caring all whole time, but

55:12

he wasn't doing okay. All these

55:14

little things that I have been Like

55:17

I acknowledge it, but I don't. connect

55:20

it. I guess you could say,

55:22

and so having Teresa I

55:24

guess, be the... middle

55:26

person on that and just telling me, hey,

55:29

like these are signs and you're

55:31

just not picking up on them. I think that

55:33

was kind of the biggest one for me. The

55:36

tree. And was gonna say you could start

55:38

with like the tree. The tree was crazy.

55:40

The property. The property. She goes are you

55:42

living on a farm? And no we don't

55:44

live on a farm but we live on

55:46

a little more than an acre and it's

55:49

like the biggest piece of property that we've

55:51

ever lived on. Oh the tire. My tire

55:53

having a patch in it. Another one would

55:55

be Kid knowing about his

55:57

brother like that that really blew my

55:59

mind. It's Something that

56:01

that Teresa had no idea that

56:03

I'm a mechanic a I have so

56:05

I have my tools. My I mean, I

56:07

just thought this was me. this was

56:09

me I guess, guess, a

56:11

dumb, forgetful, whatever you want to you

56:14

want to call it. I know I put

56:16

that tool there where did this tool

56:18

go? go, And then go and look all over

56:20

the place. over the place, say an hour,

56:22

hour. go back and it's where I already

56:24

looked and knew that I put it. I put

56:26

told her her literally happened to me yesterday

56:28

me work. There was multiple things, but things

56:30

that stood out the most, out the the property,

56:33

the tree, tree. the patch in the tire,

56:35

the misplacement of the tools. of

56:37

the the three we couldn't the three, passed

56:39

on the like, he just kind of feeling

56:41

like oh okay three we're just he would

56:43

have turned three this year okay, we threw

56:45

him a little birthday party this year

56:47

and I still have his little three

56:49

candle sitting on top of my microwave

56:51

and we walked out and we were

56:53

like talking about it and three and

56:55

he sees the three on the on top

56:57

like my microwave and we

56:59

so out was were of

57:01

crazy about it. it is is. as Teresa

57:03

would say say, the things that that

57:06

you are but are

57:08

second -guessing yourself on. yourself on.

57:10

are the signs and you

57:12

don't don't need to second

57:14

guess yourself. yourself. And so And so

57:16

if you do get signs to recognize

57:18

those signs signs as what what they are. I

57:21

can say I can say is... said,

57:23

usually judge a book judge a book by its

57:25

cover, but I would say don't judge

57:27

a book until you read it because

57:29

you read it, because I came into

57:32

this with no no intent of no

57:34

intent of coming out with any kind

57:36

of I guess you could say I I

57:38

guess you could say. I thought it was just gonna

57:40

of like a sit down and listen a sit down

57:42

and go on about my day type

57:44

of thing. about my day type of thing

57:47

but no I connected me

57:49

with my son. me That

57:51

is son that is I would

57:53

say say if you having having issues

57:55

or you're being doubtful

57:57

about yourself or you You know, anybody? that

58:00

you wish to connect to, to try to

58:02

open your mind a little bit more if

58:04

you're trying to do it by yourself. yourself.

58:06

She asked me things that I've said to

58:08

him to him to him about and things

58:10

that I've done I mean there's no mean there's no

58:12

way anybody knows that because that was

58:14

on My wife My wife didn't it. it. Nobody
