That Time My Mom’s Ghost Knew I Loved Her.
Do you want to talk to a loved one, no phone required? Also free.
Raise your hand if:
a friend has popped into your mind seconds before they call or text you and it feels like a psychic moment. Maybe you can’t get a song out of your mind and then you hear it in the grocery store that day. Or, you had a dream about an old friend and later you run into them.
I’m certainly not psychic so I can’t see you raising your hand, so maybe tell me what happened in the comments. Then I can tell you about the twenty-year recurring dream where Tom Cruise is telling everyone how much he loves me while I show him my ID to prove that I am Ann Garvin and I don’t think he knows me. True story—that it is my dream, not that Tom loves me.
I love a good psychic-adjacent experience.
I wish I were psychic, had ghost friends, and could find my Ouija board, although that thing freaks me out.
I wish for these things because I want hard data that there is more to life than trying to log in, retrieve passwords, verifying, authenticating, and then successfully logging into my stupid email where I get more than my fair share of promotions for women of an age that feel mean with regards to my hard-earned aging.
I want to know that there is more to me than finding 8000 plastic hangers in my basement because two kids graduated from college, moved them into my house, and then left them behind.
Or that the pain of my broken toe might be less painful if I know my Mom is floating around me sending only positive vibes.
I was thinking about all of this when I met Sally Hawk who is the founder of www.VerySoul.com. Very Soul is a platform where you and your friends can receive a free mediumship reading. I was psychic-curious – and it was free – so I gave it a go.
What my dead parents told me:
The medium said my dad called me a pistol and was sorry he was crabby a lot of the time. My mom said she was grateful that I held her body close to me when she died.
And my colleague Connie Kirk, showed up and answered the question, “What am I missing?” And I didn’t ask her that question, I was holding it quietly in my mind.
Maybe you don’t believe in this.
I mentioned this experience to a friend who said, “I don’t believe in that stuff,” and I said, “I don’t think you have to subscribe, believe, or commit to anything to have an experience of it. I don’t always believe in zoos but I go see the otters sometimes.”
You can just show up.
For me, I got to leave my 8000 hanger-reality and that was worth the hour.
Sally and I were chatting – I told her about all my friends on the internet, and you can get a free reading, too. Yes, free. No strings attached. No credit card needed. No one will know unless you tell them. (I’m not receiving any payment for this recommendation even though this sounds like an advertisement.)

PS: Remember when I met with a pet psychic and learned that Peanut, my beloved, overly adored, heavily treat-motivated Pomapoo, wanted to be a bumble bee for Halloween?
PPS: Not much after that I had thoughts about how my father might have changed for the better after dying. The essay I wrote on it: “What Does Dead Dad Think Now.” I read it again and it made me laugh because my dad was a character and then cry because I miss him.
I set up my meeting on VerSoul, Thanks!! Will let you know how it goes. 🙂
Amazing!!
I’ll want to hear how it goes
Perhaps you might be interested in a podcast called the Telepathy Tapes. It’ll blow your mind, but it will also explain the pet psychic who could talk to Peanut. My grandmother sends me signs all the time. And when she really wants my attention, she can turn on and off lights. I have a long history with this sort of thing…..
Telepathy Tapes changes everything. Especially season 1 Episode 6.
I’ve only listened to a couple of episodes. So I will watch!!
Right, they’re amazing.
I’ve listened to them and I am interested!! thank you for the reminder.
No thanks. I subscribe to the idea that demons hang around and eve’s drop so they know what to say to get your attention
Oh boy.
The first time I played with my Oujia board, I asked the spirits if I would ever be President. Its response was: XL24ZY7875SYTZ156.
Hahahaha
hahahha
I’m in! Can’t wait. I had a reading after my father died. The medium had no idea I wrote. She told me my dad was standing before a white desk by two windows, tapping a pen on the desk and saying, “Get busy.’ Blew me away, as in the back of our house, I had a small office, a white desk by two windows. No way she could have known that.
This is fantastic. Thank you for telling me this!!
I’m so glad.
When I phoned my high school best friend, as soon as the connection was made I knew whether she was home or not. If she wasn’t, I’d tell whoever answered to have her call me when she got home. Her brother asked one time if I knew she wasn’t home, why did I call? And I explained that I didn’t know until the phone rang.
And I’ve had no surprise drop-ins from friends … ever. I get a feeling someone is coming and I tidy up before they arrive. And I never had the feeling and no one came.
AND a long time ago I spent several days worrying about a tidal wave, but allayed my fears by saying the Olympic Peninsula would block the worst of it. Ten days later, there was a tidal wave in Nicaragua.
Janet, thank you for telling me this. It’s incredible isn’t it?
Anne, I want to thank you for this wonderful gift. While I was skeptical, I made the appointment thinking I can use this experience in my writing, but I would also keep an open mind. In my session, there were little details given that only my grandmother would have known. Things that I shared with my mother as soon as the session was over. I had to call her to share this gift of reassurance that my grandmother gave to the medium of overwhelming love. It’s wonderful to know that her cats are with her and that she is watching over me.
You are so welcome! I’m thrilled that this was a good experience. 🙂
I had my appointment today, surprisingly insightful. Thanks for the suggestion.
OK, well that’s not enough information. When can I hear more??
I need to know more.
Thank you so much! I enjoyed my reading a lot. Three loved ones shared messages for me. Very specific information was shared. Two thumbs up!
Wow, that is so exciting. I’m so happy you did this and found it interesting. Thank you for telling me about it!!
Ann
You are so welcome!
Ann, I have been visited by people who have died since my TBI. It doesn’t happen as often now (the brain injury was in 2014) but I do wonder if we shut ourselves off from the possibility in adulthood. March 2024, a friend that I have known since high school visited in a dream and I told her all the things I wanted to tell her (we lost touch because she was with an abuser who pushed everyone away). A couple days later the abuser left me a VM, saying he had something to tell me about my friend. She had died. 51 years young. I have never tried a medium though so I was very interested.
My medium said “a male come forward, someone central in my life. A name that started with a D. Someone with a steady force in your life. He has a lot of pride.”
My dad’s name is Dale and he died April 30 2024. I have been talking care of everything since he died, my mom’s now in assisted living and my brothers have been communicative, but that’s about it.
The medium said he’s very apologetic and has a lot of emotion about it. He has great appreciation for everything I have done. He let her know he tries to talk to me.
My dad was amazing with birds. He had a family of blue birds every year that he would feed grapes to. The medium said that if there is a unique bird that comes around to my window or something that is him.
She said a lot of other things that rang true, however when I was talking to my spouse about it I was trying to talk myself out of it. We were in the bark yard having lunch and we were talking about is any of this true because I am sure if the medium googled me she could figure out my dad died recently and his name was dale and my birthday was in july, etc…and all of a sudden a Baltimore Oriole flew up and sat on my trellis signing it’s heart out. First one I’ve seen this year. And I rarely see them.
Either way, I was crying a lot during this experience and I really haven’t been able to cry, I’ve been so focused on taking care of my mom. So thank you for that.
I hear you. I was crying a lot too.
Say hi to your dad for me. 🙂
Hi Ann–had my session with Very Soul this morning. It was fantastic! The details were amazing. This is not my first time with a medium, but I could not believe all of the information my medium shared with me. DM
I’m SO excited that you enjoyed your session. I love this whole thing and the details are increditble aren’t they?
I’m so glad you had a wonderful experience. Thank you for telling me!!
