After last month's telegathering with medium, James Van Praagh, I received a call from my good friends, Bob & Melissa, letting me know that a dear friend had just died of cancer. They were calling to thank me for the timely call with James. Bob & Melissa are the editors of ofspirit.com, an online magazine dedicated to spiritual topics. And Bob, a former private investigator, is also the creator of a website called, bestpsychicmediums.com - a directory that showcases mediums that have been tested by him for accuracy.
During the call with James, he talked about how our loved ones may contact us from the "other side" to let us know they're okay. Well, a few days after Bob and Melissa shared their loss with me, they had an experience that gave them confirmation. I asked Bob to share his story with you. Here's what he wrote:
On Monday night we got a call informing us that our dear friend, David (who lived in England) had passed away from cancer early Saturday morning. He was 38 years old.
David had emailed us a few months ago saying that he had a tumor in his leg removed, had gone through radiation and was given the "all-clear" from his doctor. Thinking that the ordeal was behind him, that was the last time we connected. But a few weeks later, the cancer returned and, according to his wife, Phoebe, his health failed quickly and he passed much sooner than anyone expected.
Having learned of David's death Monday night, Melissa talked with David in her mind most of the day on Tuesday, asking him for a sign that he was okay. Although we know from our work in this field that death is a doorway home and that our loved ones are always in a safe and loving place after their passing, it's always nice to get confirmation. On her way home at the end of the day, Melissa stopped off at a local sandwich shop. While waiting for the sandwiches to be made, Melissa was standing by the cash register when an employee suddenly picked something up from the counter and handed it to her.
"Here, you want these?" said the girl.
Melissa held out her hand and asked, "What are they?"
As the employee dropped something into Melissa's hand, she said, "They're two coins from England. Someone paid with them and they've just been hanging around here."
Melissa held the coins in her hand. "One for me and one for Bob," she thought. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, confusing the girl behind the counter.
"You have no idea what you just did," Melissa told the girl. "We just lost a friend from England and I was asking for a sign from him. Thank you for this."
With the sandwiches now ready, Melissa grabbed the bag, thanked the girl again and began to leave. That's when the girl who gave her the coins yelled, "Tell Bob I said hi."
We have no idea how the girl knew my name.
Melissa and I each took one of the English coins and have been carrying them around with us ever since. We later noticed that the date on Melissa's coin is 1992 - the year she first met David.
A couple of days later, Melissa talked with David's wife, Phoebe, by phone. After hearing about all she and David had been through over the last few months, Melissa decided to share her story about hearing from David at the sandwich shop. Phoebe loved her story and even had a story of her own to share.
On Tuesday, the same day that Melissa was given the English pence, Phoebe had to register David's death certificate with the town. As she walked home, she began talking with David (as she had been doing regularly since his passing). This time, however, she felt as though he was talking back. She was hearing his voice in her head. Sure that it was just her imagination, Phoebe asked David to give her some form of confirmation that she was actually hearing him and not just her own imagination. That's when she heard David say, "Your mother wants to buy a blue dress."
The next day, Phoebe saw her mother, or her mum, as they say in England. Although hesitant to ask her mum about what David told her, she knew she needed to find out the truth. So she asked her, "Mum, did you recently buy a blue dress?"
Her mother said, "No, Phoebe, I didn't. But yesterday I saw a blue dress that I wanted and went back to the shop 5 times but just couldn't get myself to spend the money."

Take Action Challenge
This week, set an intention to connect with a loved one or pet who has passed on. Then, be open for your own personal sign or confirmation. You might smell a familiar fragrance, feel the brush of a hand on your cheek, hear your name called out of the blue, or simply feel their presence. If you tend to think this is unrealistic, suspend disbelief and allow yourself a new perspective. Remember, love lives on.
