Hey, I'm Teresa Caputo. You

0:07

might know me as the Long Island Medium. Why

0:10

do people call me that? Well, I

0:12

talk to the dead. My

0:14

job is to help spirit communicate to their

0:16

loved ones here in the physical world that

0:18

they are safe and at peace, and that

0:20

there is more to life than this. This

0:22

podcast gives me the opportunity to share my

0:24

gift with more people than ever before and

0:27

to give all of you a better understanding of

0:29

how I communicate with spirit. Well,

0:33

welcome to this week's episode of

0:36

Hey Spirit. Today, I had

0:38

the privilege of sharing my gift with

0:40

Lisa. Lisa ended

0:42

up on the podcast through

0:44

winning the reading through a

0:46

donation. As many of you

0:48

might know, my assistant Lindsay

0:51

unfortunately lost her fiancé in

0:53

a car accident two months

0:55

before they were going to get married. Devin

0:58

loved rescuing dogs and they did a fundraiser

1:00

in memory of Devin in honor of him

1:02

and it's called the Wolf Pack because that

1:04

was his last name, which I thought is

1:07

so cute. So I donated a reading

1:09

to the night of the event and Lisa won

1:11

the reading. It's

1:14

always special for me to share my gift with

1:17

people, but when

1:20

someone gives of themselves constantly in

1:22

their life and

1:25

here Lisa is always rescuing

1:27

dogs and donating to this

1:29

foundation and after her reading

1:34

realizing that she did

1:37

the same thing for all of her loved ones. Her

1:40

parents, her brother, did

1:43

everything she could for

1:45

her brother and even

1:47

after decades of her

1:50

parents being gone physically,

1:55

they did an absolute amazing job

1:57

of validating that that soul bond

1:59

is now. never broken. Talking

2:01

about the past, things that

2:03

went on with their personality.

2:06

Oh God, there's one

2:08

part with her mom. I am

2:10

still dying over. It is

2:12

hilarious. You'll know the part when you

2:14

hear it, but

2:17

I just loved how they really

2:19

let their personality shine and that

2:21

they really haven't missed out bringing

2:23

up things that happened throughout the

2:25

years and then

2:27

even doing something absolutely incredible, bringing

2:30

forward a soul that they never even met.

2:34

I hope you will enjoy this beautiful,

2:37

peaceful and healing episode

2:40

of Hey Spirit. Well,

2:45

welcome Lisa to Hey Spirit podcast. Thank you.

2:47

So excited for you. I always love when

2:49

we have either a contest winner or just

2:52

a winner from my fan club to be on

2:54

the podcast. So it's a real honor to meet

2:56

you today. Nice to thank you for all your

2:59

support with Ali's angels. Thank you. You

3:02

have quite a bit of loved ones on the other side. It's

3:05

always surprising you see someone young, well young, the

3:07

old frame of reference, right? But you're looking very

3:09

nice young lady and it's always surprised sometimes I

3:11

go over and there's like so many souls. So

3:14

I am going to start with the dad that

3:16

is departed. So dad for me, if

3:18

it is not your dad, it could be father in

3:20

law, grandfather or someone like a dad. Okay,

3:22

yes. Your dad is departed. Yes. My father

3:24

departed. He literally said to me goes, who

3:27

else would it be? I go, I don't

3:29

know. There's like five of the souls behind

3:31

you. But

3:34

it's almost like, of course I'm here, you know,

3:36

but I am going to say this. Your dad's

3:38

a little hesitant about me. He's like, I don't

3:40

know about this. Yeah,

3:43

that would be him. Yes. Like, how do I

3:45

know you're going to say everything? And how do

3:47

I know I go, trust me. Yes.

3:52

So, and I love

3:54

that your dad is showing his personality. It's

3:56

not disrespectful in any way, shape or form.

3:58

He's showing his personality. Like, I

4:00

was just told to show up at this time. My daughter's

4:02

been talking to me all day. He goes, I don't know

4:04

what to do. That

4:06

would be dad. But you know what I love? It's

4:09

almost like your dad is like saying like, I

4:11

would do anything for you. Like

4:15

I have no idea what I'm doing here, Teresa.

4:17

I have no idea who you are, what I'm

4:19

supposed to do. But my daughter asked me to

4:21

be here today. Yes. So

4:24

I have to say, Lisa, this is

4:26

such a beautiful thing thing

4:29

because I always love to share

4:31

how spirit makes me feel and

4:33

what they say. And it's

4:35

almost like what better way to validate for you

4:38

how much your dad loves you.

4:41

And how much he knows how much you miss

4:44

him. Even though he

4:46

doesn't know what he's doing here. He

4:48

would never want to disappoint you. So

4:51

of course he was showing up and

4:53

he's like tell her please stop crying. I know

4:55

how much she misses me. Your

4:58

dad, I took like this big deep breath and it's

5:00

almost like he took my breath away. And then I

5:03

felt like something happened very quickly. So

5:05

I don't know if your dad was

5:07

ill prior to his departure, but then

5:09

died very quickly or very suddenly like

5:12

we knew that maybe he was going

5:14

to pass or he was ill, but

5:16

we never expected it at that exact

5:18

moment. Does that make

5:20

sense? Yes. Yes. He was ill

5:22

for a good

5:25

five years. Wow. And

5:27

then declined very quickly.

5:29

Yes, and then gathered together quickly to

5:31

say goodbye to him. So

5:34

know that he says I know

5:36

how fast and quickly and

5:38

kind of in a sense unexpected at it, you

5:40

know that I was actually going to pass. He

5:43

says, but I

5:46

want you to know that I knew that it was

5:48

time for my

5:50

soul to leave the physical world. He

5:53

said one of the hardest things was

5:56

watching my family watch me be sick.

5:59

He said for the most. part, Teresa, he

6:01

said, for the five years, he goes, I

6:03

got by. He goes, I got

6:05

by. He goes, could I

6:07

do everything? He goes, absolutely not. He goes,

6:09

but why it declined so quickly was because

6:12

I knew I could

6:14

not get back to even where I was

6:16

the day before. Yes, definitely.

6:19

He says, I had this way of

6:21

kind of bouncing back. He

6:23

says, but there was something that I knew

6:25

that I wasn't going to bounce back. And

6:29

he says, and I want you to

6:31

know that how beautiful it was to

6:33

have my entire family gathered around. He

6:36

said, because it was some time before

6:38

that had happened. So

6:41

I don't know if everyone just lived

6:43

in different states or if people just

6:45

didn't gather the way, but he's showing

6:47

me like as sad as it was

6:50

that he was

6:52

going to leave the physical world and pass away.

6:55

He was so joyful

6:58

and felt so at peace

7:00

because his entire family was

7:02

there. Yes, we all

7:04

came to say goodbye. We all came from,

7:07

we all lived out of state, most of

7:09

us, and all came to say goodbye. And

7:12

it was like he waited for each

7:14

of us to come and say goodbye and

7:17

be together. And it's

7:19

almost like he showed me you all

7:21

had your own intimate moment. It

7:24

wasn't like everyone like rushed in and

7:26

there were 20 people in the room

7:28

at one time. It was like everyone

7:30

had their own time, their

7:32

own moment. And

7:36

we each got to go into the room and say

7:38

goodbye to him. We each prayed

7:40

together with him. I

7:43

do remember personally saying

7:45

goodbye to my dad, the only one in

7:47

the room at that time and having a

7:49

conversation with him. He said, the

7:51

thing that I loved is when you thanked me for

7:54

being your dad. Ah. Yeah,

7:59

because I. I wasn't very easy on him. Oh.

8:04

As a teenager, I should say, I was troubled. And

8:07

he was always so kind and loving

8:10

and just

8:13

a very well-respected man.

8:16

But these are the little things, would you

8:18

have ever expected your dad, Lisa, to say?

8:21

That I remember and I

8:23

loved the moment that I took

8:25

with me was when you thanked me for being your dad.

8:30

These are the things that, you know,

8:32

as we listen to

8:34

healing messages, I don't think we realize

8:36

they are a million times more powerful

8:38

in healing than anyone could ever even

8:41

imagine. Absolutely.

8:44

And your dad just looked at me, he goes, Teresa,

8:47

she wasn't that bad. Ha

8:50

ha ha ha. He goes,

8:52

she thought she was bad. She wasn't that bad.

8:54

It could have been worse. Ha ha ha ha.

8:57

He goes, I'm not saying she didn't give me a

8:59

run from my money, he

9:01

says, but in

9:04

all honesty, it wasn't

9:06

that bad. What

9:08

he knew of. But

9:11

I love how he validated that for

9:13

you and how

9:16

special it was for to

9:18

have everyone together. And

9:22

he says, you know, Teresa, he

9:25

says, it's interesting that my

9:27

daughter brought that up, that she wasn't quote

9:30

unquote easy. He

9:32

says, because it's not

9:35

just a cliche statement when

9:37

I say to my daughter, who

9:40

you were is who made you are today.

9:43

And he said, one

9:46

of the reasons why I look at it that

9:48

way and I say it wasn't that bad, because

9:50

of the beautiful woman that she has grown to

9:53

be. She's so

9:55

compassionate, loving, caring

9:57

and giving. He

9:59

says, even in my final moments

10:02

as my soul left the physical body, how

10:04

gentle she was and how

10:06

caring. He says,

10:08

so I will take those little rough

10:10

teenage years for anything. He

10:13

says, because of the woman that you've become is

10:18

so beautiful. That's very nice

10:20

to hear. Were

10:23

you like rubbing your dad's face? I

10:27

was, yes. And I

10:29

don't know if you were doing it over

10:31

and over and over again, but your dad

10:33

goes, if she rubbed my face one more

10:35

time, Teresa. But

10:37

that would totally be your dad, right? All right,

10:39

you rubbed my face. That's enough. Right.

10:42

We had very little patience in

10:44

the end because of the pain

10:46

he was in. And you would try

10:49

to comfort him. But I'm

10:51

sure we were annoying him at certain points. But

10:54

loved every moment of it. Does that

10:56

make sense? I feel like the way

10:59

that he sang it is to validate

11:01

his personality and also to validate how

11:03

the care and the love, the unconditional

11:05

love that he received throughout his entire

11:08

life, but more importantly, in his final

11:10

days, was

11:13

amazing. And I love that he validated that.

11:17

Did you sing or play music? I

11:20

don't sing. Well, did

11:23

somebody sing? Or was there a song?

11:25

Or did someone play music? Oh,

11:28

I'm trying to remember. One

11:30

of his college buddies was in the

11:33

room and might have been singing. And

11:38

yes, we might have been playing some music. Perfect.

11:40

See, I love even when you see, again,

11:42

this is something that you never thought your

11:44

dad would bring up, right? Things that there's

11:46

no way I would know about. And if

11:48

your dad knows those things, then he heard

11:51

you say goodbye. Do you understand that? Yes.

11:53

He says because it was really tough in

11:55

the end. He

11:57

says even though we knew. that

12:00

we were gathering for one last

12:02

time. To

12:05

say goodbye. He says, I don't think you

12:07

ever expected to see me that way. No,

12:11

no, he was a strong,

12:13

proud man and we all took

12:17

care of him in the end, especially

12:19

my mom. And

12:23

just was

12:26

by his side as much as we could, especially

12:28

knowing towards the end that,

12:32

you know, that was important. But

12:34

he says, I don't want you to remember

12:36

me in that way. This is why I'm

12:39

bringing this up. Remember me as that strong,

12:41

independent man. Yes. Now

12:43

did his brother pass? He's bringing

12:45

forward the souls to validate that they're

12:47

all together. Oh boy. Who passed from

12:50

the brain or like an aneurysm brain

12:52

tumor or had difficulty with

12:54

the brain in the end. Or

12:56

the hitting of the head. That

12:58

would be my brother. Okay. So

13:02

no, and he has departed,

13:04

is that correct? Yes. So

13:06

know that the souls are all together. Okay.

13:12

That would be his son, my brother, yes. Okay.

13:16

So know that the souls are all together on

13:18

the other side. Okay. Do

13:21

you try to envision what it was like for your

13:23

brother when he passed? Yes.

13:26

Your brother's very private. So whether if that

13:29

was his personality, that's the way that he

13:31

was, he just made, he kind of pushed

13:33

me at like a safe distance and showed

13:35

me my privacy sign. So I respect that

13:37

for whatever reason. Sometimes it's a soul. If

13:39

that's the way that they were here in

13:41

the physical world, sometimes it has to do

13:44

with the way that they died, whether they

13:46

don't want to talk about it or we

13:48

don't want to talk, whatever it is, I

13:50

have to respect that. And the only thing

13:52

that is important at this time, Lisa, is

13:54

to validate that your brother's soul has

13:57

found a place and is safe with God. Like

20:00

he didn't do what he was supposed to

20:02

do or didn't go to the doctor, didn't

20:04

follow doctor's orders. So he's taking

20:07

responsibility and saying, and I don't want

20:09

you to feel, your brother's very funny

20:11

by the way, because he like, here's

20:13

your, here's your parents saying, you did

20:15

everything. You put your own life on

20:17

hold and you promise to take

20:20

care of us. And you did, you exceeded expedition

20:22

and here comes your brother and I just didn't

20:24

take care of myself. That's

20:28

definitely true. Right?

20:30

That is true. He did, he,

20:34

he stopped seeming

20:36

to care about things and especially

20:38

after they passed and it

20:41

just didn't

20:43

go well for him. He had many struggles. Here's

20:47

the thing that I admire

20:49

about your loved ones

20:51

right now, all of them in this moment. They

20:53

just had me go through this and I

20:56

said to you, I've never had this before

20:58

going through this explanation of grief, how we're

21:00

never the same after we lose

21:02

a loved one, especially our parents. And then here's

21:04

your brother and I just didn't take care of

21:07

myself as

21:10

much as we tried to help him. Right?

21:14

But for him to say, this

21:16

is so incredible Lisa, because I've

21:18

watched what your parents have showed

21:21

me on the things that you

21:23

and your siblings have done for

21:25

your parents over the years and

21:29

even your brother, but

21:32

your brother didn't know how to even

21:34

begin to heal. He

21:36

didn't even know what to do. And

21:39

then mountains became out of molehills

21:42

and then he says, and then before I know

21:44

it, everything just snowballed. He

21:48

says, but I have to take responsibility

21:50

for that. I can't

21:52

have none of my

21:54

siblings carrying a burden

21:56

or a responsibility feeling that they

21:59

could have. prevented

22:02

my departure or made me do what I

22:04

needed to do. I

22:07

have to take responsibility for that. Okay,

22:10

that's good to hear. And I

22:12

think that's where the privacy thing came in and

22:14

pushing me away. Because I think that's what he

22:17

did to you. Like he kept you at this

22:19

safe distance. Yeah, no, I'm fine, I'm fine. Or

22:22

just not even acknowledging you at all. Or

22:26

just not answering us or. Right, right.

22:30

Caring that we worried about him

22:32

and we're always concerned about him.

22:37

It was just his way of life and we

22:40

tried to get him to change and he never

22:43

wanted to change. He

22:45

goes, I didn't know how. I know.

22:48

He goes, I just didn't know how. So

22:50

I wanna take this opportunity

22:52

to thank you all for that. How

22:56

incredible is that of him? I'm

22:59

happy to hear that. He literally looked

23:01

at me and said, Teresa, he

23:03

said, do you know that I

23:05

lost all my faith in God

23:08

after my parents died? He

23:11

said, I didn't have not one ounce

23:14

of faith. He

23:16

says, but when I saw my parents greeting

23:18

me, when I died, he

23:20

said, I knew that there was a heaven. I'm

23:25

happy they were there to greet him. He

23:29

says, so I also

23:31

want you to know that there were times in

23:33

my life that I struggled far

23:35

more greater. He

23:39

says, and I'm sorry that

23:42

I kept you at such a safe distance.

23:48

He says, I didn't know how to

23:50

get better. Yeah, that's

23:52

true. And I didn't want

23:55

to be a burden. He

23:58

says, even though that I know. that

24:01

they would not consider me a burden.

24:03

He said, it's almost

24:05

like there was a part of me.

24:07

I didn't know how and didn't want

24:12

to do the things that I should have done.

24:15

And that's what addiction does to you. He

24:20

says, so please, I

24:23

say this to you, not

24:26

for myself, but for you. He

24:28

says, can you please forgive me? Please

24:32

forgive me not for wanting to hurt

24:34

you, not for wanting to, your brother

24:36

is saying things to me that I'm,

24:38

it's my job to say whatever it

24:40

is that they want me to. And

24:42

he just told me over and over

24:44

again, he's like, Teresa, I didn't

24:47

want to do it anymore. Yeah. He

24:49

says, I couldn't know. He says, and

24:51

there was something deep in my soul that I

24:54

knew I wasn't meant to

24:56

live a long life here. It

24:58

was just something that I felt and that

25:00

I knew no matter what my

25:03

sister would have done for me, I

25:05

knew that I was not going to get

25:07

better. It was almost like I

25:10

didn't know how to get myself out of it. No,

25:14

he didn't. He says, and no matter how I tried, and

25:16

then I thought I'd be good for a while. He says,

25:19

and then it sucked me right

25:22

back in. Yeah, exactly. He

25:26

says, so I say to you

25:28

today, please forgive

25:30

me. Forgive

25:33

me for keeping you at a

25:35

safe distance. I take responsibility for

25:38

that. I take responsibility for

25:40

pushing you away. And for that, I

25:42

am sorry. I see from the

25:44

other side through your eyes on how that

25:46

hurt you, on how, I'm

25:49

going to use the word disappointed,

25:51

but not in a negative

25:53

way. It was disappointing because

25:56

you couldn't help him. Does

25:59

that make sense? Yes, definitely. None of

26:01

us could. And he says,

26:03

I made it impossible for you. He

26:05

said, so I thought that by keeping

26:07

you at a safe distance and pushing

26:09

you away, you would not carry

26:12

that guilt because you wouldn't know. He

26:15

says, but I didn't realize that the

26:18

opposite would have happened. He

26:21

says, and I want you to all to know

26:23

that I do know how much you

26:26

loved me. Did

26:29

he love cars? Yes,

26:32

he loved. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Because he showed

26:34

me a 57 Chevy. That's just

26:36

my symbol for where someone loved cars or classic cars.

26:40

He had. Yes, he had a hot rod.

26:42

Classic car. I

26:45

just want to make sure that I interpret it correctly. And

26:48

he's like, look at this. And he's like, show me his

26:50

car. You know, how do you

26:52

connect with the number 72? Well,

26:58

the month of July and the

27:02

second of July, if that. Okay.

27:04

July 2nd. Yes. Is my son's

27:06

birth. And

27:13

he was born two weeks before

27:15

my father passed. July

27:19

2nd. Yes. I just want

27:21

to make sure that I'm interpreting it all correctly. And

27:24

did your son just graduate or have like

27:26

a big milestone or something? He

27:29

just got engaged. Oh, perfect. So

27:33

because your parents were like, oh my God, what

27:35

a congratulations. So usually a milestone for me is

27:37

graduation, wedding, children. Yes,

27:41

he just got engaged. So validating that

27:43

even though your parents have been gone

27:45

for some time. Knowing

27:50

that their souls have not missed out. Okay.

27:54

I always hope. Like,

42:02

okay, we're good. I'm done. You

42:04

know, we're done. And then your mom's like, oh, wait,

42:06

wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, one more

42:08

thing. And I was like, oh, wait. So

42:11

I love that and validating that

42:13

if this especially was something Lisa

42:15

that you were thinking, oh, I

42:17

wonder if, definitely knowing that the

42:19

souls are together, absolutely

42:22

incredible, phenomenal.

42:25

And what an amazing thing for your

42:27

parents to do to even

42:29

say, no matter how long someone's gone, that

42:32

soul bond will never be broken. And

42:37

that they are truly living life through our

42:39

eyes. They hear us, they try to

42:41

guide us and do the best that they can. And

42:44

to be able to share my gift with

42:46

you today was such an honor. And I

42:48

want to thank you for trusting me with

42:50

the souls of your departed loved ones. Thank

42:53

you. Thank you so much. Unbelievable.

42:57

Yeah. Amazing. Lisa

43:04

Napolitano, I'm from Northport, New York.

43:06

Both of my parents came through.

43:08

It sounds like some of my

43:10

mother's crazy siblings came through on

43:12

her side of the family. She

43:15

was one of 12. And

43:18

my brother came through definitely who

43:20

passed. It'll be three

43:22

years ago, I believe this December, or

43:24

it was just three years this past

43:26

December. So those all came through. And

43:29

then in the end, she

43:31

threw a little bit of a zinger

43:33

to me about someone I was hoping

43:35

would come through, but I wasn't sure

43:38

because there's really no connection

43:41

between my family and this person

43:43

that I was hoping would come

43:45

through. But it was the child

43:47

she was speaking of who is

43:49

the son of my friend and

43:51

that's who it sounds

43:53

like was coming through kind of cautiously

43:55

coming through. She

43:58

mentioned little things that and

46:00

that we gathered in my

46:02

dad's room before he passed, all of us.

46:05

He waited for everyone to get there

46:08

to say their goodbyes before he passed,

46:10

and then my mother's

46:12

passing and everyone taking

46:15

care of her after my dad died, just

46:17

as he would have wanted it. I've

46:19

waited a very long time for

46:21

this, and it happened

46:23

so unexpectedly,

46:25

I guess you could say. I

46:28

truly didn't think I would

46:30

win this through Ali's Angels, and that

46:32

it was just a great experience. I'm

46:35

very happy with everything that everyone

46:37

came through. Yeah, it was a wonderful

46:39

experience. It was a great experience.
