I have enjoyed seeing others experience readings at various psychic medium events; however, I never expected to have a reading myself. But the day I went to see psychic-medium, Matt Fraser, that all changed.
My sister, Judy, had passed just 11 months prior to this particular event, and I have missed her every day. I was her primary caregiver up until the last 18 days of her life when she was hospitalized, and I’ve never felt right about some things.
I’ve always felt that I should have pushed harder, taken her to different doctors, and done something differently. I’ve felt alone and as if I’d let her down.
My First Reading
He was almost finished and had left the row I was seated in and moved toward the back of the room saying, “I need to come back here because there has been someone here all night.”
He had the back row of guests stand and began to speak to them. Of course, we were all turned around in our chairs to see him. He asked, “Who is cleaning off the grave?”
I didn’t speak at first because I felt he was too far away, and it couldn’t be meant for me. Then he turned around, looked directly at me, made eye contact, and asked again, “Who here has recently been cleaning off or sweeping a grave? I see someone almost frantically doing this.” He had turned and made direct eye contact with me. I felt like someone had slapped me in the back of the head (literally), so I spoke up and told him I had.
The Backstory
This is the backstory – not shared with him or anyone!
Just a few weeks before attending the event, I had a mini-breakdown when I brought an arrangement to the cemetery. There was so much snow and ice that I couldn’t be sure if I was at the right spot. I dug through the snow until my hands bled, broke a snow brush from my car, and finally just stopped. Exhausted and half-hysterical, I went back to the car and called my husband, sobbing.
When I got off the phone, I went to visit our old neighbors for a while, and unbeknownst to me at the time, my husband called my oldest son, who went to the cemetery to finish what I had started. I later returned to find it cleared off and the arrangement placed on top. The only people who knew these details were me, my husband, and my son. We had never spoken of it with anyone.
You Are My Sunshine
Matt looked and pointed at me, saying, “YES! It’s you!” He came back, had our row stand, and went on to say, “Your sister is here for you. She’s been back there all night, just waiting! She wants me to acknowledge that she sends you signs all the time that she is still with you, but that you sometimes doubt them or think it’s just coincidence. She’s telling me to tell you it’s not.”
Fact: I get feathers, coins, and specific songs and phrases all the time that I brush off. At this point, I was shaking like a leaf!
He said, “I feel like there is an important anniversary coming up.”
I acknowledged that the anniversary of my sister’s death was March 2nd – only a few days away.
Then he started gesturing around his abdomen, saying, “there was a misdiagnosis, or it took way too long to get a diagnosis or something, and it was too late for the doctors to do anything. But she wants you to know that she is okay. She’s not angry, and she knows that you did everything you could to help her. Do you understand that?”
All I could do was shake my head.
Then, still gesturing with his hand motioning in a circle around his abdomen, he continued, “There was a growth – a mass or a tumor or something – but it was unusual. Did it grow around something? I feel like it strangled or choked something off, and that is why she died. I feel like she had cancer, but there was something unusual about it.”
I told him that yes, she had pancreatic cancer.
He went on, “But she didn’t die just because of cancer. It was this twisting, choking thing that complicated it. Do you understand that? Does that make any sense to you?”
All I could do was nod. I was a mess! In fact, she had a blood clot caused by cancer that choked off her portal vein.
“He then said, “She was a real fighter, this one, wasn’t she? (Laughing) I sense that she really didn’t want to give up, and even though the doctors and everyone said one thing, she is telling me that she proved them wrong!”
I literally choked out that after they told us she might have three days, she fought for 17 more!
So many of our loved ones had passed in the month of February, and Judy was determined she wasn’t going to be one of them! Matt then came closer to me – I was about to fall over – and held my hand. He kept saying over and over to me, “Your sister wants you to know that she did
not want to leave you and that she loves you and is still here with you. She wants you to know that she is still taking care of you and watching over you.”
Then he let out a small giggle! And he said, “She is singing to me! Well, I don’t know if it’s to me – do you know the song, ‘You are my sunshine’? Is there significance to that, because she is singing it!”
I laughed out loud! I wasn’t surprised. I told him how just a year ago, we all were gathered in her hospital room, and she wanted to sing the old songs like we did when we were younger. And the fact that she chose that one at that particular moment is significant because it is what she always sang to (my son) Jason. Jason was always her special sunshine, and I wasn’t surprised she would want to send him a message, too.
Then he said, “What the hell are you doing?!” And started laughing! He said, “Ok, what’s with the boobs?” And was gesturing like he was pushing up boobs. “Did she have really big boobs or like to make jokes about her boobs or something? She is doing this (gesturing as if he had boobs), and she is laughing!”
OMG! My sister Judy was the most modest person ever! I couldn’t even imagine, so I said no, no, I don’t have any idea what that could all be about.
He took my hand again and got serious, “Listen, she really wants you to hear this. She loves you. She really didn’t want to leave you, and she’s still with you. She wants you to laugh again. She has been waiting in the back of the room all night to tell you because it’s that important.”
This would have been so typical of my sister to stand in the wings to make sure everyone else got to hear from their loved ones first.
Then he finished up, thanked everyone, and was done.
The Two Massive Balloons
I went to see him afterward to get his book signed – because after that, how could I not – and he started laughing and jokingly said, “You’ve got to figure out this boob thing because she’s still here with you, and she just keeps laughing and doing this!” And he was gesturing again.
After I got home, I told my family all about it. We were finishing dinner when my girlfriend that I had attended with messaged to make sure I was alright. She texted, “Gee, have you figured out the boob thing yet?”
And as I was about to type, “No, I don’t have a clue,” I had a very clear image of what it was.
There is a photo of her with my oldest daughter, who at the time was about 6-8 years old. Judy had on a sweater, and under the sweater, she had stuffed two massive balloons. She made the
statement at the time, “When I’m gone, this is how you’ll remember me, and you’ll laugh!” We always laughed over that memory, and every time the picture would surface, she would say the same thing!
I immediately called my daughter to tell her, and even she remembered it along with her Auntie saying that. So needless to say, it was a very emotional evening. I honestly never expected anything to happen, not that I wasn’t hopeful. I will tell you, my heart is in a different place today.
I feel like I’ve been given another incredible gift. I no longer take signs for granted! In fact, I get incredible joy from each and every one, and I know she is still here taking care of me, and one day we will be together again. In the meantime, I’ll enjoy the signs she continues to send.
The Final Message
As I was cleaning out her house after her death, I came across a note addressed to me in her nightstand, seven months after she passed. I had been contemplating getting a different tattoo in her memory when I found it. It had been in the drawer the whole time, but I just had not seen it. Coincidence? I think not!
It read, “God was so good to me you – were here when I needed you most. I didn’t mean to leave you so soon. Know that I loved you dearly and didn’t want to leave you.”
Kind of eerie that Matt spoke those exact same words to me.
I know how blessed I have been, but truthfully, experiencing others on the receiving end of Matt’s gift is incredible, too. Everyone should open their minds and hearts to experience this. It is truly life-changing. There are just so many things that Matt could not possibly have known.
I feel so blessed to have received this gift from Matt, and I will forever be thankful!
Jacqui Spiegel had been to many psychics and mediums before she met Matt Fraser, but one day she noticed a psychic medium named Matt Fraser on Twitter and was intrigued. She looked him up on YouTube and became even more interested as she watched his videos.
Jacqui had lost her husband, John, a brilliant physician, a few years earlier. His work was surrounded by sickness and death, but he fought the illness with everything he had when diagnosed with a brain tumor. Over the two years during which he was diagnosed, he endured two brain surgeries. But despite his condition, he was determined to keep things as normal as possible for his family.
In August 2013, the Spiegel family traveled to Washington and had a wonderful time together in the last years of his life. The memories provided comfort when John passed a year later, on August 7th, 2014.
Two years later, Jacqui had her reading with Matt. There was a long waiting list for readings, and Jacqui waited for seven months. When the time came, she asked Matt how he could do a reading over the phone.
Matt reassured her by saying, “If the dead can find me from the afterlife, I can connect with you over the phone!”
Matt immediately felt the presence of Jacqui’s husband and started sharing his impressions.
Matt could tell he was a fighter! He shared John’s message, “I did not want to leave my family. I hated to leave, but I can see my wife is doing a fantastic job – and now I’m able to rest.”
Matt went on to share more personal details.
Jacquie was totally floored by the reading. She said, “It was like my husband was reading my mind and relaying the information to Matt – and Matt was relaying it all back to me.”
Other psychics had shared things with Jacquie too, but she felt that Matt was different, saying, “He is definitely connected to spirit.”
She wanted to know if her husband was at peace and watched over her family. Matt assured her that John was always there looking out for them.
Jacquie had felt the presence of John before – two years after he passed, she and her son, Kyle, had visited his grave. Kyle asked his father for a sign. When they got home, they were shocked to see an image of John’s face on the bathroom wall.
Jacquie wanted to help her son heal, so she asked Matt to do a reading for him too.
Jacquie was in the room and heard the whole reading. She shared what she heard. “Matt touched on so many things that were real. He asked my son if he was a gamer – he’s got all kinds of consoles and stuff. Matt never met my son, but he knew!”
Matt said, “Your dad sees that you’re connecting with your friends all the time.” John told his son that he would be meeting people online.
“What’s with Canada?” Matt asked. John had been from Montreal. Then, “What is this about real estate?”
Kyle couldn’t believe it! Jacquie was in the process of getting her license and going into real estate.
John also knew that Jacquie and Kyle were looking at houses.
Matt added, “He knows that you and your mom are considering a dog, and he thinks you should get two!”
Kyle hadn’t really wanted a reading, but Jacquie knew it would help him feel more connected with his father. After the reading, Kyle thanked her for encouraging him to talk to Matt.
Matt also brought through Jacqui’s mother. And they both had a laugh over what she had to say.
Matt asked, “What’s with Chanel? Well, your mother is in your closet, and she sees all your Chanel bags. Your mother said, “Don’t worry – buy those extra pairs of shoes! Don’t deny yourself!”
Matt explained, “A soul has never said this to me before. She trusts you. Your mother is telling me that my daughter is no dope. She knows what she’s doing.”
Jacquie was thrilled by what Matt had to say next, “Your mother was like a spitfire on Earth, and she’s lining people up. You’ve got a whole army of people waiting to talk to you.”
Her father was there, too. Although he had always worked hard to take care of his family, he had never told Jacquie that he loved her. Matt had a special message, “Your father never said the words, but you’re in his heart. He wants you to know he loves you.”
After Matt read Jacquie and Kyle on the phone, Jacquie attended two of his live events. Matt signed a book, and she met his family. Jacquie truly felt that she had experienced Matt’s gift in all ways.
Matt told Jacquie that she also had a high connection to spirit.
One thing Jacquie knows for sure is that she’ll see Matt again – she can’t wait until he comes to New York!
Tamie had never visited a medium or had a psychic reading. Her only exposure to mediumship had been watching a few television shows, which is why it came as a surprise when one day while working on her computer, psychic medium, Matt Fraser, caught her eye.
Something about the idea of a medium holding an event over Zoom intrigued her. Before she knew it, she was on Matt’s website, purchasing a ticket. If nothing else, she told herself, this would be an interesting way to spend the afternoon. But in the back of her mind, Tamie had two questions she desperately wanted answers to – and only someone with the ability to speak to the dead could help her.
Before the event began, Tamie thought about how she could best position herself to catch Matt’s attention. She knew the attendees would be visible on video, so she made sure she set up her desk and background to look neat and appealing. One of her two daughters came into the room, and Tamie invited her to stay for the event.
Tamie logged onto the call and watched as Matt Fraser introduced himself and explained how he worked. It didn’t take long before he was picking out people and giving them messages from loved ones in Heaven.
It reminded her of long ago, and her memories began to swarm around in her head.
Twelve years previously, Tamie had lost her son, Mitchell, who had died at the age of 22. After all those years, she still had questions in her mind about the circumstances surrounding her son’s death.
Life on the Road
As a child, life had been difficult for Mitchell. Tamie had married young and separated from her husband while pregnant with Mitchell. She eventually
remarried and had two other children. Despite her earnest efforts to create one happy family, Mitchell was always aware of being the stepchild and felt that he didn’t belong. As he got older, he started spending time with a rough group of teenagers. When he started bringing them home while Tamie was working, she feared for her younger daughters’ well-being and safety.
Mitchell and his mother fought about following the rules she had set down for the children’s safety, and at 18, he left home to make it on his own. He spent some time staying with friends and relatives and eventually left to live on the road, traveling around the country by hopping trains and earning money by making up songs about passersby’s and playing his guitar.
The last time Tamie saw Mitchell, he had been homeless for about a year. He was hitching a ride on a train and found himself riding past where his mother lived. He hopped off the train to surprise her. She was thrilled to see him. When he was there, Tamie begged him to stop his rambling lifestyle. Mitchell refused and assured her that he was happy on the road, telling his mom that someday he would settle down – but not now.
“I make up songs, play my guitar for people, make enough money for the people with me, and we all eat together. I enjoy my life!”
Then he said something that chilled Tamie. “I want you to know that If I die riding these trains, then I die doing what I loved.” Tamie cried as he said these words because she felt so scared for his safety and tried to persuade him to stay. She knew in her heart something tragic would happen.
Tamie’s last memory of Mitchell was of him walking away toward the train tracks with his guitar on his back.
A Tragic Accident?
A few months later, the Sheriff got hold of Tamie’s father. He was told of the terrible news that Mitchell had died. Another homeless friend who was riding the train with him woke up and realized Mitchell wasn’t there. Before they had fallen asleep on the train, the two had been fighting and drinking. He called the police and they found Mitchell’s body two miles back on the side of the tracks.
The police were suspicious and held the caller, Tom, for questioning. There was no evidence of what had really happened – and no witnesses. Despite many unanswered questions, the police closed the case, ruling it an accidental fall.
Tamie was left wondering, “Did Mitchell fall or was he pushed? Was he terrified and aware that he was about to die?”
Matt Fraser Answers Tamie’s Burning Question
As Tamie watched Matt work with others on the video meeting, he suddenly turned his attention toward her.
He mentioned a woman, and Tamie’s grandmother popped into her head. “She’s bringing a child who has passed. Did you lose a child?”
Tamie told Matt, “Yes, I did.” He said, “A son?” She replied, “Yes, his name is Mitchell.”
“I feel there was something with the head. Did he fall?” asked Matt. “Yes, he fell from a train.”
Matt could tell that Tamie was crushed just speaking of the tragedy, and she still had some lingering questions about the incident – and he had the answers.
“Your son wants to tell you this. He wants me to convince his mother that what happened was just an unfortunate accident. He had been drinking and having fun on the train until he lost his footing and fell. No one else was to blame.”
Then Matt said something that surprised his mother. “You need to understand that your son is taking responsibility for his actions.”
This resonated with Tamie. “I always taught him to take responsibility for his actions – to own his choices. We had many talks about this topic.”
Matt went on to share that Mitchell appreciated how his mom had always looked out for him, and he knew how much she loved him. His wish was for his mother and his sisters to start to let go and find joy in life again. He knew his mother didn’t want to celebrate holidays because she missed him so much, but he wanted his family to find happiness and joy together. He begged his mother to let go of her guilt and grief and assured both his mother and his sisters that he is with them every day.
Matt knew that Tamie was receiving signs from Mitchell when she asked about her lamp and how it would go on and off for no reason at all. She said, “It seems to happen whenever I am thinking or talking about him.”
Matt shared this final message from Mitchell, “I made a mistake, and I’m sorry. I didn’t feel anything – one minute I was falling, and the next minute I was in Heaven. I want you to know that I’m here.”
Finally, Matt told Tamie, “You need to understand that you were the best mother you could be.”
After the reading, Tamie shared how these words were so precious to her. “It didn’t matter if anyone else in the world believed it. It was a gift Matt gave me. I think it’s wonderful if this story helps other parents who have lost a child.”
Beginning to Heal
Like many parents who have lost a child, Tamie had been tortured with guilt, regret and questions for the first few years. She couldn’t sleep or eat. “Your brain doesn’t shut off – you keep wondering what you could have done differently.”
Then as the years passed, Tamie was just stuck – her life was good, but at times the grief and heartache were overwhelming. She felt alone, sad and stuck. It felt like she was walking through mud, feeling like she just had to accept that she would never find the answers to her questions.
After the reading with Matt, Tamie was in shock for a while. She realized she had been second-guessing and blaming herself to the point that she wasn’t really living.
When Matt relayed Mitchell’s message, Tamie replied, “It feels like I am no longer stuck in the mud.” She realized she had the answers that had haunted her thoughts for all these years. She needed to live her life, knowing that he hadn’t suffered in the fall and that it WAS just an accident. Her son was in Heaven wishing her and his sisters’ happiness – and sending them love.
I lost the love of my life of 26 years to Lung Cancer.
John & I married young & raised two terrific kids together. Our feelings for each other was just like our wedding song, Endless Love. That is what we were to each other, endless love. After 25 years of marriage we still hug and kiss hello or goodbye. When we walked together or just sat next to each other we were always holding hands.Then on a warm spring day in April my world changed.
With our family and friends in the room John opened his eyes. I took his hand and told him that I was with him. He slightly squeezed my hand and he was gone. In one moment I lost the love of my life. We had been together since I was 18. How in the world do I live without him?
All of a sudden our house seem too big and empty without him. I miss seeing him coming in through the door at the end of the day. The nights were the hardest. I found it hard to fall asleep without him. I kept wondering if John made it to heaven and was he OK? I needed to know this. There was nothing I could do to make it better. I started to where John’s watch to feel closer to him.
I missed my daily hug and kiss from him so I placed a picture of him on the refrigerator and hug the fridge while I get the picture a good morning or goodnight kiss. I started to feel him with me daily but I didn’t know was it him or my mind playing tricks on me because I missed him so much.
It was then my mother read in the local paper that Matt Fraser was coming into town she wanted to know if I wanted to go. My mother was very close to John and she was missing him as if she was missing her own son. I jumped at the chance of maybe John would come through at the show. No such luck at first. It took almost 3 years of going to Matt’s show before something happened. Matt came up to me and said I want you to know your dad is here today. Huh? What? My mind was stuck. My dad?
Matt went on to tell me your father knows you are waiting for someone else but he wanted to connect with you today. He is holding a baby in his arms. Does this make sense? I said yes I lost the baby in a miscarriage and my twin sister died two weeks before we were born. Matt went on to let us know my dad watches over us and everyone is safe in heaven. At the end of the night both my mother and I were happy with the reading.
I was sure John was going to come through with the next show with Matt. The show with Matt came to our area. I just knew John would come through. And he did! It was the last reading of the night. Matt had the whole row stand up. He looked right at me and said did you lose your husband?
Yes! John was going to let me know he was OK! I then told Matt yes. He looked right at me and said are you wearing your husband’s watch? (The watch was not showing it was covered up by my coat!) I showed him the watch and gave a brief explanation on why I was wearing it.
Matt was spot on with everything! He said your husband didn’t want to die and fought very hard to live. I told him yes. Then Matt looked at me with a smile and And says what’s with the picture? Your husband keeps showing me a picture does this mean anything to you? I started to laugh I went on to tell Matt & the room that I missed John so much that I have his picture on the fridge to kiss and a hug the fridge thinking that it’s John because I miss his hugs so much.
The room laughed I laughed I could feel John smiling at me. Matt then went on to tell me John is with me and he just leaned over and gave me a kiss on the cheek! My endless love is still with me! I can remember after the show I kept telling my mother he came through! He came through!
It’s been a few months since the reading. I don’t feel as alone as I did before. I still miss him and kiss his photo and hug the refrigerator every day. It’s still the closest way I can hug him back when I can feel him hugging me.
I am so glad Matt wants to share his family gift to help others like me who are missing their love ones thank you Matt!
When Jennie LaBarca attended her first event at Foxwoods Resort and Casino, hosted by psychic medium Matt Fraser, she never anticipated the effect the young medium would have on her life. She had lost her mother years earlier, and at the event, Mom came through with some loving words for her daughter.
Jenny was thrilled to receive a message from her mother and looked forward to attending another of Matt’s events. Time passed, until about 5 years later when Jenny got word of another local mediumship event with Matt Fraser. She purchased tickets and this time brought her two cousins with her.
The three women hoped at least one of them would be selected for a reading, but Matt’s message surprised them all – especially Jenny.
After the event began, it didn’t take long for Matt to single Jenny out. He walked up to her and shared several insights from her mother, but those messages were eclipsed by what he said next.
“Your mother wants me I to tell you something important! What is wrong with you can be remedied. You just have to get a second opinion.”
He went on to explain, “There’s something relatively minor that can help you.”
Jenny was stunned.
To look at her you would never know there was anything wrong. But in fact, she had a ruptured disk in her lower back that had been getting progressively worse for years. She had always been an active person, but chronic back pain was making it hard for her to enjoy her usual activities.
Jenny had already gone through one back surgery, but it didn’t solve the problem. After that disappointing result, her doctor recommended a drastic procedure that involved putting a bar in her spine. It was a risky operation and the chances of success were 50/50.
Jenny didn’t like the odds, so she refused the surgery – opting for pain management techniques and injections instead.
Years passed and Jenny continued to struggle. On the days when her pain got really bad, she even resorted to using a walker. But she had not used a walker on either of the occasions when she went to see Matt.
When Jenny heard the message from her mother that Matt relayed, she was suddenly hopeful. “What Matt said felt so true to me!”
“My doctor insisted it was my back, nothing else, but I had been feeling like I was walking on a broken leg. I went to a doctor and said please do an x- ray of my hip. Matt had told me to try this and I believed him. After hearing from Matt, I was convinced that there was an answer, and I was tired of not being able to walk!”
When Jenny got her results from the x-ray, it turned out that Matt Fraser had been correct! Her entire femoral head (the ball of the hip) was gone, and the socket had eroded from the bone on bone contact. And just as Matt had said, the problem could be easily corrected.
Jenny got a hip replacement and it was like a miracle. After she recovered from the operation, she could walk again, and her pain was nearly gone!
Jenny credits Matt Fraser for her happy outcome. “If I hadn’t heard Matt’s words I would never have insisted the doctor keep looking. My mother had been watching me deal with my pain for so long, and gave me advice through Matt. What he said kept playing over in my mind – you need to get another opinion, because this can be remedied.”
Jenny explained how the hip replacement changed her life. “I had kind of accepted my pain, and I kept myself busy. I would go to Florida every winter, but I couldn’t walk on the sand at the beach.
Things were bad with my back, I had nerve damage and scoliosis and all kinds of issues, but the back injections were not working and after Matt said what he did I just pushed and pushed until they looked for another cause.”
“The pain was excruciating.”
Like most of us, Jenny had put her trust in her doctor, and accepted what he told her. Even after Matt’s reading, she put off questioning the diagnosis for a while, but his words kept prodding her.
Jenny had no doubt that Matt was able to connect with her mother on the other side, so she trusted his words. Her confidence paid off!
“My family is very gifted, I get premonitions about bad things that will happen, my daughter is sensitive to people’s energy, and another young relative sees dead people. I know that Matt is the real thing.
Nothing that Matt had seen would make him know that I had a problem, yet he knew I should get a second opinion.”
Now when Blythe goes to Florida, she can walk on the beach again. She will be celebrating her 70th birthday with a cruise. All thanks to Matt – and her surgeon, of course.
Jenny wanted Matt to know how his words had helped her, “I think I might still be suffering if I hadn’t gone to that event. You really hit the nail on the head with my ‘ailment’ and your words forced me to check deeper into the original diagnosis. When I recovered from the surgery, I just had to thank you for giving me my life back.”
Before she had a child of her own, Sandra Palladino had heard that mothers and sons share a special connection, but it wasn’t until her son Michael was born that she really understood how deep that bond could be. Michael was the love of her life – and the feeling was absolutely mutual.
When Michael passed on July 4th, 2016 of an overdose, Sandra’s world came crashing down. Michael was just 34 years old.
Searching for answers, Sandra visited local psychics to try to connect with the son. She didn’t get the connection she was looking for, until one day she saw that Matt Fraser would be hosting an event in King of Prussia right outside Philadelphia. She quickly went online to get a ticket.
When Sandra arrived at the event and saw the crowd, she wasn’t really expecting to get a reading. She watched as Matt walked into the audience and shared spirit messages. Just the idea that souls in heaven could reach out to their loved ones on earth was comforting to her. But before she knew it, Matt was heading over to Sandra’s side of the room. Even before he asked her row to stand up, Sandra knew in her heart that he was bringing her a message from Michael.
Matt immediately came up to Sandra with an image of her grandmother holding out earrings. As soon as he mentioned them, Sandra remembered that her grandmother had bought her a beautiful pair of earrings in Italy when she was 16.
Then, Matt asked if Sandra had a male child who had passed away.
“I feel that he passed from an overdose,”.
That blew Sandra away!
He’s here. He’s very good looking, and he’s saying that he knows you have his picture on your phone.
Sandra had her phone in her purse. She pulled it out and turned it on – her screen saver was a picture of Michael.
Matt went on to say, “Your son has a very strong energy, and he’s saying that you’re taking too much on yourself. You need to stop blaming yourself.”
In her heart, Sandra believed she had done everything she could – but after Michael’s death, she had wondered if there was anything she could have done to prevent the tragedy. His addiction started with prescription opioids. She would go into his room and see bottles of pills. She often asked him, “Are all these necessary?“
“The doctor is giving them to me!” was his answer.
Matt said, “You were Michael’s rock. He says you were always there for him.”
Then Matt said something unexpected. “Everyone is worried about your mother, who has dementia, but you need to worry about your father.”
It was true that Sandra’s mother had dementia, but as far as she knew, her father was perfectly healthy.
Matt’s words echoed in her head just a few months later when Maria’s father started having heart problems.
“Who is Ryan? He’s very worried about him.”
Matt’s words hit home for Sandra. Ryan was Michael’s stepbrother, and Michael had always worried about Ryan when he was alive.
“Michael is asking you to reach out to Ryan and let him know he’s looking out for him.”
After the reading, Sandra called Ryan’s father, who confirmed that Ryan was indeed having a hard time dealing with Michael’s death.
Sandra shared how the message about Ryan was rock solid proof that Michael was really there. “Ryan isn’t a common name – and Michael was always so protective of him, that message was clearly from my son.”
At the end of the reading, Matt asked if he could give Sandra a hug. “Your son needs a hug from you.”
Matt ended the session with these words. “I see Michael watching over you when you are in your car. He’s worried about you, because you’re stuck in your grief.”
Sandra doesn’t like to say that she’s moved on, because it sounds like she is leaving Michael behind. She will never leave him. She knows they’ll be together some day.
Sandra was always a spiritual person, and the reading with Matt further confirmed her feelings. After the reading, Sandra and Matt arranged for her to share her story, hoping that it would help other mothers in the same situation. Right after Sandra made the arrangements, she looked outside, and showing up vividly against the snow was a bright red cardinal. She knew it was a sign from Michael.
Sandra said that after the reading, she felt a wave of warmth and peace. “I know that Michael is with me.. Matt Fraser is very gifted. It must be wonderful for him to know that he can bring peace to people. What more could you want!”
