Allison DuBois: A Real Medium?
My husband died in 2005 from an alcohol related car accident. I was left with two young grieving children, a host of estate issues, major construction issues, dysfunctional family dynamics and a Grandparent Rights case resulting from a grief reaction. The driver had a BAL level nearly twice the legal limit, and got off on a misdemeanor because the prosecutor failed to file a felony on time. I had insomnia, my own grief, and lived in a rather hostile small town. I was facing a myriad of issues I really didn't know how to face on my own. I read Allison Dubois' book, "Don't Kiss Them Goodbye". It gave me peace and solace.
How I Felt About What Allison DuBois Had to Say
I was primed for what happened next. My 7 year old daughter was having a hard time processing her grief. Shopping for her funeral dress I breezed by a jewelry case and spotted a bracelet that had just her, and her father's, birthstones in it. I bought it for her and told her that she was meant to wear it for the funeral. She took one look at her daddy in the coffin and wouldn't look at him again. She didn't really cry until she lost the bracelet two months later. She was inconsolable. Then I felt inconsolable. I went to the couch and cried myself to sleep. The next morning, my daughter, came bounding out of the bedroom, happy as could be.
She said, "Mommy! I had the best dream. I dreamt I went back to the jewelry store to buy another bracelet and Daddy was working there and told me, "The best bracelet was one with all of our birthstones in it because we're still a family." I cried again.
So, it got me thinking. Of course, I employed counselors, read a whole loaded minivan of self-help books, but then decided to peruse Alsion Dubois' website. I assumed Allison would be booked, and decided to have readings spaced 2 months apart from her "Circle of Friends". These were medium/psychics that she felt were the "real deal". Because of this plan, I took a quantum leap in peace, growth, and assurance. The readers were, Jaena Moynihan, Sally Owen, Dorothea Delgado, and Janet Mayer. I can tell you for a fact, that I could write my own book based on my experience. Each reader NAILED so many detailed specifics about what was going on in my life at the time. They provided reasoning behind what was going on that made common sense. They told me of moments like when we bought the jewelry, or what was happening in my house with the kids while we were grieving. They told me about my family dynamics and obscure issues with accuracy. I KNEW my husband was still with us as a part of the family. My favorite was when I had lost a beautiful card that my husband had given me. Janet Mayer didn't know about this lost card, but told me exactly where to find it. She told me to look under a stack of picture frames for something that would really prove my husband and I were still connected. I went to my computer hutch and opened a cabinet. I took out all the picture frames and there was my card! I dropped to my knees and cried. I was convinced. It really pushed my spiritual envelope. I think a grieving mother needs to believe what she tells her grieving child to be of any use.
Lessons Learned
- I think the thing that impressed me most was that when I hung up the phone with one reader, and talked to another reader two months later, there was continuity. There wasn't ever anything I had heard before, no repetition. Spirit is organized and there was a lot of ground to cover. Also, if I had misconstrued a message in the previous reading, it was clarified. The last reader, told me I would move one state over in the next few months. I saw that as an impossible dream with the estate issues, leaky house, problems with my in-laws, and not having any idea where to go, but it happened! The experience changed my life.
