Q&A: Why do only some pets come through or send signs while other don’t?

Recently I received this great question via email: 

       Q:  Why do only some pets come through or send signs while other don’t? What would you tell someone who is desperately trying to reach their pet on the other side to no avail?

A: Pets, like people, only come through with signs when they have something to tell us. People and pets usually return around the times of birthdays, anniversaries or holidays, too -either theirs or ours. They all give us signs - we just miss them, which is why I wrote the books to educate people on how to see them! 

 

Grief blocks out signs. When we are grieving and desperate to see something, we tend to dismiss things for something more "concrete." Spirits and ghosts use subtle signs because it takes a lot of energy for them to communicate. If people are sick with grief, that's when they should rely on a medium. They should also take comfort in knowing spirits come around from time to time, they're not always with us.

 PETS AND THE AFTERLIFE by Rob Gutro: The loss of a pet is like the loss of a child to pet owners. The love we share with our pets never dies, and in a new book called "Pets and the Afterlife" by Rob Gutro, the author provides proof that our pets do communicate with us from the other side.    Available in paperback and E-book, on Amazon.com and other outlets at: To order paperback of Kindle- click here  

My Amazing Reunion with the Bean Town Medium!

On April 10 I took the day off from work to welcome our friend and medium, Ruthie Larkin to the Mid-Atlantic. She  came to visit 4 families, each of whom lost a teenager in a car accident one year ago in eastern Maryland. I joined Ruthie and met the families, where I provided a background on how mediumship works, and how spirits send signs and messages.

Rob and Ruthie

RUTHIE'S IMMEDIATE CONNECTIONS - Ruthie really is amazing. She told me on the way over that someone's mother died in the last year or two (one of the teenage boys' grandmothers)  and that one of the boys is with her. She gave other details, too. Once in the house, she walked up to a young woman and asked if she was a sister. She nodded "yes." Ruthie said that her brother's spirit told her that she got a tattoo in her honor (the girl was wearing long sleeves and didn't have any visible tattoos). She rolled up her sleeve and showed Ruthie a big tattoo in her brother's memory.Ruthie stayed the rest of the day and met with each family member and provided a lot more amazing signs and confirmations!

ROB TUNES IN -

A persistent Robin visits

  During Ruthie's opening, I got some messages that were confirmed.One was about robins, one was about airplanes.

ROBINS - MORE THAN A SIGN OF SPRING -  Two of the teenage boys' spirits told that their parents were sent Robins who lingered around them for days. That was a sign from them that they're both still around they're families.  
   NOTE: Spirits will send birds, insects or small animals to people to let them know they're around. It's just not a matter of a bird coming, but lingering and returning over and over, which is what happened here. 
  While I was giving my introduction, I mentioned this and two different parents acknowledged they each had a Robin around them. One father said that a Robin has been returning to his window over and over. Another father and mother said that a Robin has been around their lawn - the same one, over and over in a certain spot (not in a tree).

AIRPLANES - One of the teenage boys also showed me visions of planes flying overhead and coming in for a landing. He "told" me that he loved watching planes and was fascinated by them. I clearly saw the underside of a  plane landing. He told me to tell his parents "whenever a plane flies overhead, I'm standing with you." His dad disappeared for a minute and returned with a photo of he and his son in front of a Navy fighter jet and told me his son loved airplanes.
   - It's simple messages that help identify a spirit and let others know that they're around.

An Important Musical Sign from My Mom

On December 22, 2013, my mother had a massive stroke and was rushed to the hospital. She was transferred to a major hospital in Boston where she lay comatose for 7 days. The prognosis was very bad, and I was told that it was just a matter of time before she passed.

My mom loved to laugh

   While she lay incapicitated, she managed to send a musical sign to me and my husband. It came on December 24th, while we were having Chinese food, as is the tradition in my family to enjoy on Christmas Eve.
   When people are in a comatose state, they have the ability to leave their bodies and communicate with people anywhere in the world.  That's exactly what happened.
    During dinner, we were listening to Christmas music being pumped in over the intercom. Within 30 minutes, we heard my mom's favorite song, "Ave Maria" twice! 
What's even more weird is that after listening to Christmas music since mid-November every day, we had never heard that song played before.
  We both instantly knew that it was my mom, telling me that it was her time to go, and asking us to get up to Boston before she did. My mother passed away on December 29, 2013.

Get tix now: Barb Mallon's AN EVENING OF MESSAGES FROM SPIRIT with Rob Gutro July 6

AN EVENING OF MESSAGES FROM SPIRIT

Saturday, July 6

6pm to 9pm 

Chantilly, Virginia

Join medium Barb Mallon for a very special evening of inspiration, validations, and messages from loved ones on the other side!

This event is much like Barb's larger mediumship events; however, instead of an audience of 50 or more, only 25 seats will be available. This gives participants a much better chance of having their own special reading.   

TO GET TICKETS TO BARB's EVENT :  http://www.eventbrite.com/event/6609714835?ref=ebtn#

This very intimate setting is a wonderful way to experience the process of mediumship through possibly your own reading or through the readings of others*.

Rob Gutro, author and budding medium, will begin the evening with a small talk and introduction. Barb will then relay messages from the other side to those members of the audience she's pulled to. She finishes with a small Q & A session and also possible messages from her students in attendance.

Barb strives to get to as many members of the audience that she can get to* during this event; however, keep in mind that those spirit people with the most dominant energy are the ones who will be able to come through. While she will do her best to keep the readings equal lengths, some spirit people have more to say than others. Some readings may be 5 minutes, while others may be a bit longer. Participants will have the opportunity to ask Barb questions during the Q&A session following the readings, and then meet with Barb and her students after the event.

This event will benefit a local animal rescue group Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA). Bring a bag of dog or cat food, warm blankets, treats or toys and get $10.00 OFF of your admittance fee! *Be sure to register accordingly when checking out!

PROGRAM:

6:00 - 6:30 - Introduction/Talk by Author & Medium, Rob Gutro

6:30 - 8:00 - Audience readings by Barb Mallon/Q&A/student readings

8:00 - 9:00 - Light refreshments/Meet & Greet/Book Signing/Merchandise Sales

*Attending a demonstration does not guarantee a reading. Please be open to the process and experience when attending. The audience members who are meant to receive messages from their loved ones in spirit, will.

Because this is a public demonstration, no recording devices or camcorders permitted for privacy reasons.

Signs from Loved Ones: a Dragonfly

I recently gave a talk to a group of kids from age 10 to 13 about ghosts and spirits, and how they communicate with the living. There were about 30 kids and they all paid attention - as it turned out, many of them had encounters with Earth-bound ghosts or spirits (who crossed into the light).

  One boy named Dustin had a couple of encounters. When he entered the room I immediately sensed that he has the ability to communicate with those who have passed.
  He told me that his grandfather loved dragonflies, and had many dragonfly things in his home. When his grandfather passed away, Dustin would visit his surviving grandmother, and a dragonfly would follow him around. He said that his grandmother felt the dragonfly was his grandfather. The dragonfly isn't necessarily his grandfather- but is influenced by his grandfather's spirit to come by and visit Dustin. Human souls come back as humans later on (insects are of a different level spirit).
  Typically children can perceive spirits or ghosts and signs from them- that's because their logical minds have not yet developed to a point of an adult. Logical thinking blocks out signals from the dead, by trying to explain them in the physical world.
  It was amazing to talk with the group of kids, and how many are attuned to the spirit world (and yes, most of them watch ghost hunting shows on TV).
