When Janice and her daughter, Marion, visited me, they came with a dozen questions about the afterlife. Mainly, they wanted to make sure Peter, Janice’s husband and Marion’s father, wasn’t suffering anymore. Peter had died six months ago after a lengthy bout with brain cancer that had reduced the strong-willed, able-bodied community leader to a […]

Brenda, a family friend, called me from the hospital in tears. Marcus, her husband of thirty-two years, had died earlier that evening. His passing was not unexpected – his prostate cancer had spread throughout his body, and three weeks ago Marcus entered palliative care. I had visited him twice, giving the couple and their two

I’ve just finished the final edit of my book Compassionate Messenger: True Stores from a Psychic Medium (Dundurn Press), and while I’m excited about the October publication, I’m also a bit intimidated.

My husband, a freelance writer, sends holiday cards to all his clients. “You should send cards to your clients, too,” he said, licking envelope number 30, then quickly grabbing a glass of water. What a wonderful idea, I thought; what a lovely way to thank all the people who over the years have trusted this

I get so disgusted and angry every time I hear about someone who masquerades as a psychic and tries to hoodwink an unsuspecting person out of money or, worse, their sense of power. In just the last week, two different women called me up to voice their concerns about visiting “psychics” who are nothing more
