Remembering those we love
Sunday, April 11, 2010 at 11:53PM Well as I type this I am on the way back from Hawaii with my friends and Charlie, and what a time we have had. I have reconnected with myself and also Charlie but also a great friend who I met when I started working with Merv Griffin and that was a TV producer Andrew Yani, and he now lives in Hawaii. He came to the show last night and I felt very blessed to have in there.
It was funny, because as soon as I saw him and i have to apologize as he interrupted the meet and greet, I screamed like a little girl... yes, like a little girl, can you believe it. We were once really close and chatted all the time and I haven't seen him in over 2 years. He is now married with a baby on the way and I am so happy for him. He will make an amazing dad.
It's been a great time and the show last night was great we had some amazing readings and it was very different to the one in Maui. The energy was a little off and my mic died and everything didn't seem to flow after that and what I realized was that the exact time that Jacqui passed was the exact time that my mic died. This has happened a few times, and what happens is that my guides go and help people who need the help in the transition. Spirits pull together, and ben and some other guides went to help her in her passing... I thank them for that, but they left me on stage wondering what the heck was going on. I had another guide to help me, but I love working with Ben as we are so intune with each other and I don't have to worry about anything. But I am thankful that Jacqui had the best of them to help with the transition, but thanks Ben... you could have warned me!!! :0)
So I think he had some making up to do, and the show last night was fabulous and I was back on form and so was Ben... love it.
What is interesting is looking for the signs that our loved ones are around, and I have known for a while that my nan has been lurking around, and she passed away a year ago today, so it marks the anniversary for me and when I was in the dressing room last night I saw a penny (the fifth one in 3 days) and I picked it up and there was the date again 1973... all of them this week had the same date, which is the year I was born so I know that this was a sign from my Nan. Thanks Nan.
You know I suppose I deal with passing very well... and before you think I talk to them all the time, I don't but I think its the knowledge that I have in the passing and the afterlife. I have also crossed to so I know what it's like and it's an amazing experience, so when it comes to the anniversary of this passing I just say a prayer and honor my nan, and what an impact that she had in my life and then go about my day. Every one is different and we all have to grieve in our own way and deal with things in the way that you know how to. Not everyone knows and of course there are those people who are skeptics and that is something I cannot change and nor do I want to, people will come around in their own time, and I do not want to force my beliefs on anyone. But having a faith and a knowledge that they are ok is so comforting and that is all I try to let people know is that they are ok and that they are looking over you.
We miss the physical presence of the person but their soul is still with us, around us, listening and helping us along the way. It's knowing this that can help us so much.
So time to honor those who we love and who have passed over but to remember them with fond memories because those memories are the ones that we should remember rather than the bad.
Big loves and hugs from me

GREAT post (((((((((((Lisa)))))))))))) and I am absorbing much of what you said here.
I had to giggle at how you let out the loud squeal when you seen Andrew:):):) Can feel how YOU were feeling when you seen him and I love it! I am happy for both you and Andrew that you have been reunited.
Major chills here reading how your mic went off at the same time Jacqui passed to her new life...that just AMAZES me!!! May she rest in peace now, free from all her pain and suffering. We miss them sooooooooo much and have to focus on how they are NOW vs how they were HERE and be grateful that they are no longer suffering.
Awwww your (((((((((((Nan)))))))))))) she is definately letting you know she is around, bless her. How very ironic you would find not one, not two, but three pennies all with the same yr on them:):):) Don't ya just love it when that happens:)
So happy for you that you had such a fantastic time on your tour and can't wait for you to come back to WI:):):)
With Love and Adoration

Your story about being on stage and ben is hilarious.. and very moving. Her story really touched me.. i'm so glad she had help in her transition. Much love to your nan and you at this time.. travel nanny? I forget her nickname.. something like that haha. I have only a few close friends and family that have crossed over thankfully that i have been close to, but I will definitely take note to say hi to them due to this. Thank you kindly.. sending you all of our families love, including our dogs xx
Hello Lisa,
Another great blog.
I also know that my loved ones that have passed lurking around me. It doesn't worry me as I know that they are keeping an eye on me and helping me every day.
Yes I can beleive that you were screaming like a little girl.
Big Hugs
Saw my first show last night Lisa and was very impressed. I wasnt sure what to expect or the process. Unfortuneatly I think I missed my cue when you mentioned a bright,fun loving young girl flicking her hair. I was waiting for more info but I am quite sure I know that girl as I actually asked her to flick her hair and giggle so that I would know it was her....You continued your focus directly to my area but I was a bit apprehensive in case it wasn't for me. Think I was in total shock when you mentioned it. I will be more prepared if I hopefully get another opportunity one day.
Thank you Lisa, you've given me hope that maybe I haven't lost her completely.

Airplane Nanny? Is that right? from your 1st book?
Airplane Nanny, your psychic grandmother? Isn't that her nickname?
I remember the name Yani from your 1st book also.
I may be getting your grandmothers mixed up, I think Frances was the psychic one, but I do remember you mentioning Airplane Nanny, so I guess I will have to re-read the 1st book about this, and see which grandmother you are talking about here in the blog...
So anyway, I'm sorry to hear that this is the 1-year- anniversary, seems like this year went by so quick, from when you were telling us about her passing a year ago...
Would like to hear of your "crossing over", which you mentioned in this blog... I can't remember if it was in your 1st book or not.
Would love to read your 2nd book when it comes out.. Do you know when that will be published and on the market?
The blog you wrote was very inspiring. It is very comforting to know they are still around us.... Will write more later.. Thanks...
Lisa, Thankyou for coming to Hawaii and having a show for us that do believe. I was really hoping that my Mom would have come thru, but 2 days ago my husband said to me if I would be ok if she didn't and I said that I think I would love to see a couple reunite with their child as much or more, it would give them relief and quiet their unrest, and that's what you did last night at the show, the couple with the 5 yr. old little boy who had passed were so grateful to you and I chuckled to my husband as I hadn't thought that my wish for them would have happened that way. So in my thinking my Mom did come to me at the show and she is always here with me, I needed to thankyou for putting my mind at ease as I have not felt her in alwhile and now I understand from you that I'm just use to her energy, she hasn't gone. Once again bless you for the gift you have and come visit us again in the islands. Aloha
Lisa, this is, again, a beautiful post ;-),it is always so interesting to know about the spirits and the afterlife. I also look at the signs around me and it's true sometimes it's quite astonishing and it gives thrills and so much comfort it's true.
It's also comforting to know about Jacqui and your guides...
It's time to honor those we love and it's time to honor YOU Lisa, thank you for what you do, this is just wonderful...
Much love ;-)
Lise
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your beautiful words of love, compassion and reassurance. I must admit that there are times when fear and doubt, of what seems to me to be the unknown, creep into my mind, and I become disconcerted. It is lovely to hear sweet stories about loved ones who still hold us fast in their hearts; it lifts the spirits immensely.
Bless your loving heart.
Love and Hugs,
Cheryl

Hi Lisa,
Fantastic blog!!!
You are spot on - we have to honor those who have passed. We should feel honored that we got to share their life journey and recognise how much they have enriched our life.

Wow....it's been a year already since your grandma's passing !!! The part with Ben ditching you on stage is hilarious :) Sorry, but it is, I can picture you getting ready to do readings then POOF there he goes..... Hahaha !!!!
Since meeting you I can honestly say death is more easy for me to deal with cause I have that reassurance that they are still very much alive. I know the hurt is still the same though and nothing changes that no matter how much we believe. It's that pain of loss that hurts to live with. But we do move on and it does lessen for some cause most know they are still there !!!
I cant believe your coming back already from Hawaii !!! I really hope that you at least got the chance to enjoy it.... Seems it was all work and no play for you and when the shows are done, your on your way out again !!! Safe travels my friend..

This post is somewhat comforting to me since I lost my Nana 2 weeks ago. I am totally devastated. I did feel her presence around me, but when I did I felt physically ill, so I told her to please stop. Now I don't feel her or see any signs from her at all and am very sad. But, maybe I will take your advice and talk to her instead and let her know I am thinking about her instead of keeping all of the sadness in. Thank you for your post.
Love,
Peggy C.
Thank you Lisa:) I have seen so many butterflies the last days, and that really makes me smile. Have a great day, and hopefully you come to Norway one day :) Love you girl . Big hug from Wensie xx
Bonjour Lisa!
Thank’s for the info about Jacqui, i’m glad to know that she was good taking care of, for her transition in the spirit world.
You touched many aspects in your post that i rely to, and it goes on the same vibration that i have.
Not a coincidence that i’m here with all of you on this wounderful site.
Have a great Time being at Home!

Hi my love,
Again thanks for the beautiful blog. You make me laugh my dear friend. Especially
when you said that Ben left you in the middle of everything but when you said that you mic had died at that moment everything seemed to change. Especially since you realized that that was the exact time that Jacqui had passed. I am thrilled to know that your guides went off to help her in her transition to the other side.
Also the fact that it was the first anniversary of your Nan's passing. It does not seem like its been a year already. Time does fly by doesn't it?
I did have a good laugh when you mentioned that when you saw Andrew you had screamed like a little girl. That I would have loved to see my friend. Oh well, I don't blame you , I probably would have too.
Thanks for sharing all of this with us, my love. You make my day so much brighter whenever you write to us.
I am glad that you are home safely until your next tour. I am sure Charlie had the
best time of his life while in Hawaii. Please give him a hug for me will you? As well as my love to him and to you also.
I love you,
Mary
Dear Lisa,
This is such a wonderful Blog! I have said this to you and have posted my personal feelings on this topic on your website, but I must post this again.
I have to thank YOU Lisa Williams. If it wasn’t for you, I don't know where I would be today. It was because of you and your teachings that I was transformed to how I believe today. Prior to meeting you, coming to your events and most recently having the privilege of being in one of your workshops, I was lost in so many different ways. It is a very personal and on going learning process and I have come so far.
As many know, it was after I lost my mother in 2007, that I was at one the lowest times for me, emotionally, spiritually and in every way. I really thought I was headed for a breakdown that I would never return from. Lisa, you showed me through your teachings that I was just beginning my journey in understanding a part of my life that was previously so dark and so very empty. Additionally, through becoming a member of your website, I have met so many loving and caring people.
I now know that not only are both of my parents around me but many of my loved ones who have gone to the other side....I have experienced it, so I no longer wonder, I just know it is so! ! You just have to look for the signs. Grief is difficult for us all and we all deal with it in our own way. I am here once again to say " THANK YOU" for opening up so many doors and windows for me!
Love to you as always!!
Keith

Dear Lisa,
It sounds like you had an awesome time with Charlie and friends, and as to screaming like a girl when you saw your friend Andrew, that kind of spontaneity coming from you, is the very essence of you that makes everyone so drawn to you and makes you the special person that you are, so don't ever stop showing that side of you, it is wonderful and refreshing to behold.
I am sure Jacqui's passing will always be remembered by you because it falls around the same time that your Nan passed. You are really blessed to be able to regard death in the light that you do. I have you to thank for opening spiritual doors for me, because if it wasn't for seeing your TV shows, I would still be scared witless of dying and I wouldn't be looking at my mom and dad's, and other loved ones' passing in the new light that I now do, so thank you so much for giving me such a precious gift. You have opened so many new doors for me to explore. I am reading one spiritual book after the other and asking questions that I would never have asked before. The first trip I make to Cape Town, I am going to go and see the past life regression therapist that Ina has told me about and I am very excited and looking forward to seeing what comes to light. I would never have dreamt of doing this sort of thing before. This past year has resulted in my life taking on a whole new meaning. Thank you for that. You came into my life at the perfect time.
God bless and hugs to you and Charlie,
Jeanette

Aloha Lisa,
What an amazing experience to have seen your show "LIVE". We walked away feeling refreshed and rejuvinated. Please come back to visit us again. Would LOVE to have you back someday.
I mostly went for the experience then to connect with loved ones. I am grounded in knowing that they are continuing their journeys in the afterlife and are just around the corner from wherever we travel in life. My own journey with spirituality has opened all possibilties about life after death. Though I know there so much more to it than my own knowledge and or experiences.
Thank You Lisa, for reinforcing that!
BTW,... I took some pictures outside of the Honolulu Concert hall and just like you said, lots and lots of orbs and in one particular one, a face with features taking shape. Amazing!
As for all the people who have trasitioned over, and for those who are about to, and for all the loved ones who are experiencing this at this moment, we pray for hope, safe passage, peaceful journey and blessings till we meet again... "just around the corner...".
Kisses and Huggs to all,
~Pii, Omi, Mom and Rob
Hugs Lisa!! Much love too...
Aloha, Lisa!
Mahalo for coming to Hawaii and sharing your special gift with us. The experience was truly amazing. Too bad you had to leave but hope you return soon!
My cousin and I came to your show as skeptics but immediately changed our minds when you started. I was sitting first row middle of the balcony when you said there was a Tony, father figure, died of cancer, chest area that wanted to speak to someone on the balcony. He is my father who passed away from lung cancer. My cousin tried to make me stand but I just couldn't. Felt like my heart dropped to my stomach, my spine melted, and my legs were noodles. Is there any way that I could speak to him? I was too afraid on Saturday. Sorry to not have stood up even though you asked us to from the very beginning.
Again, thank you very much for reaffirming that there is a happy place for humans and animals alike. Knowing this brings comfort to many.
A hui hou (Until we meet again),

Hi Lisa,
This week marks the passing of my mom. It was a very speial time for me to remember the lenghts you took, getting to still do your tour after your world wind trip from Austrlia, back to England for your Nan's service and barly skipping a beat, reschedulig your trip and still being able to come to Easton PA and a few other venues.
You are an amazing woman, thank you once again for all you have brought into my life.
Sending my love,
Terry
Lisa,
Thank you so much for this blog post! It sure has been a week for you with all thats happened! Many prayers to you, your Nan, and Jacqui's loved ones as well. In Santa Monica, I remember you mentioning that Ben sometimes deserts you when you are on stage...he did that for a bit then, too! lol! Busy spirit guide he is, eh! : ) I was "supposed" to be in Maui for that show....and its funny but my clock stopped that day & hasnt started again until today! Very cool stuff. Thank you for sharing that you are able to heal rather quickly when a loved one passes. With all of the knowledge Ive had about the after life for soooo many years -- losing my Mom was the most difficult time for me, as it was so sudden. I take some comfort knowing that she is always with me....and does what Ben does for others as well. Thank you again for such a wonderful blog of hope & comfort. I wish you a warm welcome back to your CA digs! xxoo
Amazing as always....highs and lows, all in such a short space of time but knowing you are surrounded is an awesome feeling...
Lots of love and take care !!! xoxo
