I was about 15 minutes into my conversation with medium Theresa Caputo about her new TLC series Long Island Medium when my mom decided to show up.
Caputo interrupts my questioning with, “You’ve lost a lot of loved ones.”
I disagree, saying “I wouldn’t say a lot, but a few, yeah.”
She confidently asks, “Is your mom departed?”
“OK, that’s weird,” I think. After all, most people my age still have their mothers, so she really took a long shot throwing that one out there. But, I acknowledge that my mother is indeed deceased.
Caputo goes on to explain that prior to answering my call she had written down a few things including my name, mother, daughter, young male, 4 and 62. She tells me there’s a “lot of energy” going on, and suddenly I get a little nervous, thinking this could be my doing. Although I didn’t tell Caputo, when I drove to work that morning I had actually talked to my mom in my head [and that’s something I just don’t do. I’m a bit skeptical on ghosts and spirits]. I simply thought, “Hey, if you want to reach out to me I’m talking to a medium today.” And that was it.
Caputo asks: “Where you at the actual passing of your mother because your mother showed me the holding of the hands, which means she wants to go back to the day of her passing. Were you actually there for that moment or did you just miss the passing?”
I gulp. It’s a sensitive topic for me, since I was the only family member who actually wasn’t there when she passed. So I tell her I was not.
Caputo says that my mother is validating that nothing was left unsaid and that “everything and anything you said to your mom was heard.” She then asks? “Whose birthday is now? If it’s not today or the week of it’s usually the month we are in.”
“That would be me,” I tell her. “OK,” Caputo says. “So your mom’s just wishing you a happy birthday.”
I give an uncomfortable laugh and jokingly ask Caputo to tell my mom to hush up, so I can get back to doing my job.
But Caputo — well, maybe it’s my mom — isn’t quite finished. We go on to connect months and dates, discuss that “young male” reference, significance of April and more. She presses on with “Do you remember the year 62? Or could it stand for the month of June and the month of February as far as birthdays or anniversaries?”
“My mom was born in February, died in June,” I confirm.
“Perfect,” Caputo says. “Just validating your mother’s presence and that she took this opportunity. Spirits will take any opportunity to get a message to someone.” Then Caputo’s Long Island accent comes out as she describes my mom as a “chatty catty.” Glad, she’s having a good time.
“Whether you believe or understand what I do, and I don’t mean to be rude, but it really doesn’t matter,” Caputo says. “That’s not what this is about. This phone call is not about you believing in what I do. What just happened right now, what I interpreted it as a beautiful gift you just received from your mother. Knowing that even after all these years of her not being here in the physical world she hasn’t missed out on anything. She acknowledged your children, that she held the children before coming here in the physical world and she’s still with you, and loving and guiding you from the other side. Right?”
Gulp.
What a loaded thought. I pause. I collect my thoughts. “Did I tell her I had kids? Could this seriously be real?” And I simply say: “That’s awesome. Thank you.”
So add me to Caputo’s long list of clients who have been given the gift of closure. Now, as for my sister, she’s really ticked my mom didn’t even give her a shout out! She’ll have to join Caputo’s long waiting list and maybe we’ll here back from her in a few years.
Long Island Medium airs on TLC Sundays beginning Sept. 25.

Hello Teresa, I know you are very busy and have so much people reaching out to you, it let’s me realize wow I’m not alone there are thousands of people dealing with the same pain and confusion as I am. I recently lost my husband unexpectantly 3 months ago I am 8 months pregnant I would just like some closure and peace since I have so much guilt not having the opportunity to say goodbye. I would love to get a reading I understand the wait is long but Its ok i know I will one day be able to communicate and get that conversation I long dream for. Plus he knows how much Im all into psychic and mediums he use to laugh at me. He knows I was going to try to reach out one day 🙂
I see that there are many people trying to get a hold of you, even for the briefist converisons an it honestly touches me the things that you can do,, i know for sure your probley really busy but if theres any way you could get in contact with me,,, if its a email or just a quick phone call i’d really apprecite it.. my Brother pasted away very unexpected a year ago last month. WE both were in louisanna visting his dad for the summer. i just so happen to come back to our home state so i could move into my new apt. with my girlfriend, then three days later i get the most deavstating phone call. Matt was giving two kids a ride home, that he just met at a friends house that night. he was able to get the first kid home but unforuntly on the way to the other kids house, not even a mile away, somehow they ran off the road into a tree probley as old as dinosours. it was so big it didnt buge a bit. the truck was decengrated in the aftermath, it caught the entire tree fire and it still stands there just with burns scars and terriable meriomies.nobody knew him like i did an he was the most experniced driver ive ever came across still to this day.. somthing wrong happen other then him just runnin off the road like that. He was startin a new job the next morning so i truely know he wasnt inpeared cause he was always about his priorties first. I’ve had family past away in the past but HE leaves my signs like crazy, not just me, our whole family an i dont know anything about your gift but i think theres something hes tryin to tell us that we dont know. sorry it was so much i just need closure, thank you
Right now I am watching your show on TLC and I can’t help but reach out to you. I have experienced many suicides, deaths and losses within my family. I think about and feel a some around me at times, although not all of them. I do realize that Rhode Island is not next door, but I just felt I needed to reach out to you……..
THeresa, are you ever visited by scary spirit? Do you actually see the spirits?
My husband passed in July and he was so abusive to me. I was wondering how /if possible could I get a hold of you. I need some kind of closure.
Hi Theresa. I watched your show and you are some I’ve been looking for. The reason is cause im 21 and I just lost my mother in 2009. I’ve been trying to get a hold of my mom and I don’t feel like she is answering me or she can’t hear me. I need to know if its my Fult for not being there for her when she died. I
100% believe in ghost. I live on long island (East Hampton ) I was woundering if you can help me out.
