A personal story about my little sister Jennifer, her passing, and the love and spiritual presence that continues beyond this life.
This story was featured in a best-selling book series and has received an outpouring of heartfelt responses from readers around the world.
When I think about my little sister Jennifer, I am reminded of a love so pure and deep that it continues beyond this life. Her passing was one of the most difficult experiences I have ever faced, yet through that pain came moments of connection, understanding, and a sense of something greater than ourselves. Jennifer was more than just my sister—she was a beautiful soul who brought warmth, light, and joy into the lives of those around her. Even after her passing, I began to feel that her presence had not truly left. In ways I could not fully explain at the time, I sensed that love continues, and that those we hold dear remain connected to us in spirit.
This is a personal story of love, loss, and the quiet, powerful ways that connection can continue beyond what we see.
I remember the morning my father woke me up to tell me that my little sister, Jennifer, had passed away. I was stunned by his words because it was totally unexpected.
I was eight years old and Jennifer was only seven. We were very close – laughing and playing all the time. I can’t even remember a single time we had ever fought.
Following Jennifer’s passing, I felt emotionally drained. I tried to understand what death meant. Whenever I thought about Jennifer, I felt so much pain and sadness in my heart because I really missed her physical presence. I spent many nights crying myself to sleep. Finally, one night, there were no more tears.
Shortly after Jennifer’s passing, I wanted to see if I could communicate with her. As I lay in bed and gazed out my window at the stars above, I said softly, “Hi Jennifer – I love you.” Almost immediately, I felt light-headed as my spirit lit up. I heard Jennifer say, “Hi Benson, I love you too.”
I reached out with my hand and felt the warmth of her energy. The pain and sadness I had felt in my heart eased and was replaced with exhilaration. From that moment on, I was certain that Jennifer was still around, and I could communicate with her at any time.
I recently realized that Jennifer’s passing led to the awakening of my clairvoyant and healing abilities. Whenever I thought of Jennifer with my heart, I felt pain in my chest and stomach.
But when I thought of her with my head, it was a different experience. Just as the first time we communicated, I became light-headed, and exhilaration replaced the pain.
With that bit of information, I learned that I could create and have almost anything I wanted, with little effort. I made up a fun game where I would think of something I wanted or someone famous that I wanted to meet, and usually received what I wished for.
But sometimes, when I got too serious and put too much emotion and effort into my wish, it would not come true. So I learned to relax and create in a light, happy space instead of a serious space.
I wasn’t always consistent in creating this kind of space while growing up. Like most teenagers and young adults, I rushed around and got impatient at times, which affected my ability to create and my level of achievement.
In my early twenties, my interest in learning more about the meta physical world grew. I met a person named Lee Hinton who became a dear friend and brother. Lee and I have a real spiritual connection.
Lee encouraged and motivated me to actively use my clairvoyant abilities. We validated each other.
I started reading various books on metaphysics and attended meditation and healing classes to gain more knowledge. I started doing readings, and soon, friends and co-workers started asking me questions about their love life, relationships, family, health, money, career, clairvoyant abilities, etc. They enjoyed their readings and kept referring others to me.
Many people are curious about how my readings work. The type of reading that I do is called a clairvoyant reading. A simple definition of clairvoyance is the ability to sense mental images, sounds, and different levels of energy that the average person isn’t consciously aware of.
My readings are conducted in a professional, sensitive, simple, and confidential manner. My objective is to provide a safe, enjoyable, comfortable, and informative experience for my clients.
It is very important to be in a neutral space while performing a clairvoyant reading. One must not become too attached or emotional, because it can affect the quality of the reading.
It is important to be able to release the energy of the person after the reading. You must not become affected by their problems/challenges, because your health can be affected.
During readings, as I focus my attention on the person, I receive information about their personality, creative abilities, health, and relationships as well as experiences from their past, present, and future.
I receive this information by looking at their “aura” (the energy surrounding the body) and their “chakras” (the energy centers located within the spiritual body).
The readings may include information about how my clients can use their own abilities to balance and heal their spiritual selves and their physical bodies.
I really enjoy doing readings because each one is different. Each person has different information, experiences, challenges, wants, needs, and goals.
When a person comes to me for a reading, or healing, I get such a tremendous feeling of gratification watching that person transform from feeling depressed to feeling amazed, happy, and on top of the world.
I am often asked how I developed my clairvoyant abilities. I believe it has had a lot to do with my passion for learning and my desire to help others. I keep an open mind and am always observing people.
To sharpen my skills, I take long walks with my wife, Cathi. As people pass by us, I quickly read them. Sometimes I read up to several hundred people in our 4-hour walks around San Francisco.
If you do something for a long time, you become very good at it. I have performed over 100,000 readings, healings, and workshops in the past 30 years, and have become very good at what I do.
I’ve developed a program that will help discover the hidden messages within you. This program will help you find out who you are as a spirit, what you are holding on to from your past and how it affects you, what lessons you are learning in this life, what you are creating for your future, and much more.
The ability to use my clairvoyant abilities to help others find their happiness and spiritual growth is truly a gift from God, and it all began when God brought me that little angel, Jennifer.
If you have ever experienced the loss of a loved one and are seeking comfort, clarity, or connection, I would be honored to help guide you.
