About Hetty
My birthplace is Holland, but my parents along with my two
brothers and I immigrated to the United States when I was
five years old. It was not an easy transition for any of us
as we struggled in our new surrounding, being away from the
loved ones we had left behind. These struggles along with
the successes that followed developed a tremendous family
bond.
I know that I have always believed in Angels, even as a
young child but, I don’t recall ever talking to Angels. In
my early twenty’s I married and soon became pregnant. My
husband, however, did not want a baby so early in our
marriage and so he left. A few years later I discovered that
I had cancer. It was treatable, but the initial shock
"rocked our world."
At that difficult time, I rediscovered an old flame and once
again married. The dreams of a happy family soon turned into
mental and physical abuse. With feelings of no escape,
I contemplated suicide. In that moment, holding a glass of
water in one hand and pills in the other, I cried out to God
for help. In that instant I heard a voice say, "Look up!"
I did and saw the biggest, most beautiful moon outside my
window. I felt that I could touch it if I reached out my
hand. White light streamed everywhere and I felt comforted,
like someone had wrapped a cozy, warm blanket around me.
God had sent His Angels to surround me, to comfort me, to
give me strength. The next day my mother helped pack our
clothes and we left, never to return. I vowed never to
remarry and knew that my beautiful little girl and I would
be ok - always.
Seeing
that the Angels are God's messengers, if you ask, they
listen. I remember quietly asking if I had a soulmate out
there somewhere. Much to my surprise, he appeared with two
daughter's of his own. He was handsome, loving, caring and
very smart. He also drove a beat up old VW Bug. The smart
part, he knew that I was his soulmate too! Eight weeks after
we met, we were married and became a blended family, that
was a little over 31 years ago. I can't say that we didn't
have our ups and downs, but we have survived and are doing
very well indeed.
A year after we were married, another shock would "rock our
world." My father became ill and was diagnosed with cancer
due to asbestos. He passed away shortly after he was
diagnosed. Before he died though, I had asked him the
following question, "Vader, are you afraid to die?" My
father sat on the side of his bed and answered, "No, but no
one has ever come back to tell us what it is like on the
other side."
I pondered that for quite a while. A few months after my
father passed, my mother had a near death experience in our
home. I saw her struggling and then she loudly shouted my
father's name and asked him not to go. We talked about this
experience and she told me that she had seen him clearly in
this beautiful "White Light." Her struggle was to stay or
go. She also told me that she had several visitations from
my father which comforted her greatly. It was at that moment
I knew that I could communicate with my father. This was the
beginning of my journey as a medium. Since that time,
my father and I have had many wonderful conversations.
My mother felt quite lost after my father passed. She and I
were like "two peas in a pod," talking every day on the
phone and visiting once a week. The years passed and she
moved to a retirement home near my brother a thousand miles
away. I flew to Seattle about every eight weeks to
spend time with her. Over time, she suffered multiple
mini-strokes, then lost her speech and was then diagnosed
with Dementia.
Since I had been working with the Angels, they showed me how
to communicate with her. Together we embraced a new journey,
one in which others experienced only silence, but the
angels, my mother and I would have endless conversations. We
would even cross the veil together where she would visit my
father, sister, her parents, many other family and friends
who had crossed over. I have chronicled this experience in
my forthcoming book, My Mother and Me, Our Powerful
Journey Through Dementia. When Mother passed away, I
felt the same loss as I did with my father but in saying
that, I knew that it was only a physical loss. I knew that
they were fine and always close by whenever I needed them.
They are with me to help me when I am troubled, to love me,
to comfort me and give me support. What more could I want at
this moment in time?
The Angels are pure love and are timeless. When we ask, then
listen to what they say to us, our lives change in a
positive way. When deceased loved ones appear to us, through
mediumship, they
bring messages of love to bring peace and comfort to our
lives. I am their messenger to help answer your
questions and to pass their loving comfort to you.
Thank you for visiting Angels Surround Us and learning more
about our services while inhabiting Mother Earth.
In loving gratitude,
Hetty |
