Losing one of your own is one of the most traumatic experiences a person can endure.
My heart goes out to anyone who has faced this kind of loss.
When my son Cory passed, I went through a powerful awakening—and he began coming to me as my Spirit Guide.
I learned to communicate with him, and over time, it became seamless.
Soon after his transition, it was as if he said to me, “I’m finished now, and I’m going to the other side where I can be of more service.”
Within days, he appeared in a dream with a snake coiled around his arm and said, “I need you to face your fears, Mom, because you have a big job ahead of you—and it’s going to require a lot of courage.”
From that day forward, I made it my life’s mantra to face my fears, allow, and open to love.
Over the years, Cory has continued to share messages of wisdom and love.
When I once asked him, “Why did you come?”
he replied, “I came to shake things up—and I had to be shaken up in the process.”
I realized the scope of Cory’s work was far beyond traditional human understanding.
In this lifetime, he chose to take on addiction as a means of bringing transformation and liberation—not only for himself, but for the collective.
After a difficult phone conversation one day, I asked him, “What do I do with that person?”
He said simply, “That’s her reality. Let her have her reality.”
That wisdom changed me. I stopped trying to fix or change people and began allowing others to have their process without judgment.
Another time, I asked, “Why did you resist me so much?”
He answered, “I wasn’t really resisting you. I was resisting the parts of myself that you triggered in me.”
That one truth helped me understand others—and myself—on a much deeper level.
And one day, when I was really missing him, I suddenly heard him say, “Can you be happy for me?”
It took my breath away. But my heart answered quickly: “Yes, I can.”
That question shifted everything—from the illusion of loss and death to the understanding that he never truly left.
I feel so much gratitude for Cory and for all that he continues to do with me to create more love and joy in this world.
