Hi,

I wanted to connect with the lady who was inspired to begin this web site. I happened to catch the John Edward show where you spoke about your personal experience about your grandmother, and they show parts of my son's reading. I guess I just wanted to let you know that it will be a year on Mother's Day that my son Jim (Spiderman) crossed over and to see that our reading may have played a part in the decision to activate this site gives me confort.

My son came through 29 days after he physically crossed over. We flew from Springfield Pennsylvania, to Chicago that day because Jim had a message for us. I realize now that the message was not just for us but for all who experienced it there that day and for all who see his tribute.

I am planning a releasing of the "Dove Memorial" for Jim, on Mother's Day. In memory of the free spirit personality he had when he physically walked on this planet, and in appreciation for all the signs, and validations he continues to send us on a daily basis to help us manage our grief, knowing that his free spirit personality lives on...

Before May 11, 2002,I like many who watched J.E. show had my personal experiences with people who crossed over. I very much believe in John's ability to talk to those on the other side. I use to think I would like to be part of the gallery someday and hopefully hear from my Dad and a nephew via a J.E reading.

To hear from my son via a J.E. reading was a necessity after receiving that "parents worse nightmare telephone call about your child".

The reading that happened in Chicago was a prayer answered for a Mom from a Mom who understood my sorrow. I prayed/cried the rosary everyday and asked the Blessed Mother to arrange for me to hear from Jim via John Edward to help me from losing my mind, and to stay standing, knowing that my son is still around me...

The death of your child shakes your soul. I continue to pray/cry the rosary daily for peace of mind for all parents who experienced the death of a child. I pray that our reading and tribute to Jim brings comfort to those who are meant to see it.

Through prayer, journaling, grief counseling, support of friends and family, and frequent visits from Jim (spiderman), I am managing through the grief of living on this planet without Jim Jr.

For me, Grief means (Getting relief in experiencing faith) knowing that my son still is with us...

To all who may read this message I would like to request that you remember my son in your thoughts/prayers/moment of reflection, or just appreciate, validate, and communicate your love for your children in memory of Jim on Mother's Day.

Thank You
Alice Donnelly

((((( Alice ))))))

We are truly honored that you've joined our community :)

Several other board members and myself were present that day in Chicago, when your son Jim came through for you. Your reading was touching - and funny too. Especially when your other son admitted that he was wearing Jim's underwear! :) If you'd like to read some of our member's experiences of that day, here's the thread:

Also, the link to the Josh Groban song that Jim wanted you to hear: http://www.johnedwardtalk.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4624

Alice, I've written you an emai privately, to explain how these sites came to be. But as I've said to you in my email, it is the very same love that inspired these sites: Love from and to God for making this communication available to us; love from and to the Other Side for caring enough to express their continuing love to us, and a deep gratitude and unconditional love for what John does for families like yours. It's all the same love :) So yes, you can say that your experience, and others like yours is what inspired these sites to be created, and what continues to inspire me to keep them up and running.

You're 100% right, that sharing your own experience, and your feelings do help others. Thank you for being willing to share with us here - I'm sure that it's not easy for you.

I'll never forget Jim, nor you or your family, and I am thankful that I was there that day, to witness the incredible miracle, and gift that the Blessed Mother gave to another mother. I am also thankful that you are here to share your experience, with others who need to hear it directly from you. Thank you :thumbsup:

Alice, I am so happy to see that you posted here on the boards. I am Namaste on the board, but you know me as Tara Swalve, from Wisconsin. My mother and I sat next to you and your family in Chicago. I think of you and spidy often.

Actually on the way to the IL seminar this year I saw a spiderman viser ( I actually bought it for my son) and I thought of Jimmy, I told him hi and sent a prayer to him and you guys.

I remember praying for you that day. Your son Matthew was so funny. I was sitting next to him before the seminar started and I was razing him a little. I said to him "we are not that crazy here, actually we are all kinda fun" He laughed like, "ya right lady, you are nuts" I was so glad to see him on the follow up episode.

It was an honor to be seated next to you, Matthew and your husband. I am so glad you checked out the board and I hope you stick around, I know you will adore the people and the subjects that are posted here. Please let me know if you have any questions.


Namaste

Hi Alice and welcome

I too was present in Chicago and your reading has remained with me all these months as one of the most touching i have seen. It was my first seminar and one i will always remember. The Josh Groban song that John told you to listen to has become one of my favorite songs one that when i hear it i think of my dad and it has become our song. When i saw your reading on tv your son looked so much like a relative of mine in his spiderman outfit. He was so cute. I often think of you and say a prayer for you and your family. My best to you and will pray for you and your family on Mothers Day.

Hi Alice! I too shared in that wonderful experience last summer. In fact, the entire day inspired me so much that my life was drastically changed and my marriage was saved. (But that's another thread...lol) The reading that your family received still sticks in my head like it was yesterday. And funny thing is that I've been out of town all week and while you folks have been chatting about it in this thread, I was actually telling complete strangers on my trip about your reading! I even referenced the underwear and the date of your son's death specifically! I love when "coincidences" like these happen!

Many prayers and much love headed to your family from mine here in Nebraska!

:)
