I can relate to your story So Much❤I heard my mothers voice say my name twice(she didn't live with me & my brother)before I drifted off to sleep. The next morning I found out she'd died at the Exact time I heard her say my name twice the night before.❤💜

@@kristykaisersmith1825 Good to know I'm not alone. Thank you for sharing your story with me. My story above happened months after my husband passed. The day that he passed I was with him holding his hand. He & I always made sure to say I Love You 3 times to each other every day since we got married. That was his last words (I Love You) to me & his hand went limp in my hand at 7:09am. We were married 25 yrs. Sending positive vibes your way.

@@caroldedeurwaerder2660 & Kristy Kaiser Smith, THANK YOU both for sharing your inspirational true stories. They are both 'goose bump' worthy!!! I have lost both my parents, I can' t say I have heard either of them speak to me. But I have a real "peace" with their passing, and just know they are at peace and very happy. So with that being said I don' t feel sad. I will cry occasionally,---but it is with fond memories that will bring joyful tears to me about my mom. When I do hear a voice, it' s from the Spirit of the Lord through him or his Guardian Angel w/me. Once was in the midst of a car accident. I was told 3 seperate times, "easy on the BRAKES", with that being said, I let up on them. Days later speaking to the Insurance Adjuster I learned something interesting. He said your very fortunate you didn' t roll your vehicle many times. Most times when motorist go into the spins after hitting a gravel shoulder like I did,--- they roll their vehicles because they lock their BRAKES,--- just saying I know what I heard. I believe the Spirit will find a way to get our attention. 💓💕💓

@@caroldedeurwaerder2660 Awww what a Beautiful and Powerful addition to your description of you and your husbands story- (it gave me goose bumps!) and I could visualize everything...I'm sure he's close to you and keeping your heart safe from too much pain-do you see him in your dreams? I've had a few dreams of my mother near me but she's always looking down and sad- I try to talk to her but something is wrong, her death was a suicide- so that may have something to do with the sadness. I was 12 when she died and she was a very sick alcoholic ( only 32yrs of age) I asked God to help her get out of her pain! Gods answer was to bring her home to heaven or maybe not? Unknown.😔❤I have prayed for her to be "released" if guilt is holding her in some painful "limbo". The Bible doesn't say theres a limbo though, I dont think. Sorry! I didnt mean to tell my lifes story but I guess I did!😇❤

@@L.M.O. Wow! Was the voice you heard "Easy on the brakes" in your spirit? Or was it audible outside your head in the car? Life saving angel! Wonderful ending &thank God you were safe!❤

if EVH was there, it wasn't "taping night." It was TAPPING night! cool story!

Cool memory you have there 😊 She was always my favorite on One Day At A Time

I always thought they looked alike too! Totally agree!

Addiction got in the way. You can love someone but not want to lift at topsy-turvy lifestyle.

I, too, always thought it was totally insane how much those 2 looked alike!!!!

They were twin flames 🔥

True love never dies.. ❤ they always loved each other just couldn't make it past the addiction.

We will miss you my prayers are with her and her family amen 🙏

Waaaaay tooooo soooon! ❤Betty&Eddie. RIP

When writers have to invent a new form of music in print, because Eddie’s music was so new and spectacular.✨🎶✨

Awesome interview❣️❣️❣️

Feels weird as fuck!!!

What a nice story. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I knew him too back in the earliest days he was very kind ... the Dutch raise their kids right!

Awe, ty for sharing. That's awesome. Love Eddie. I too have had many people tell me I look like Valarie.

I use to go to the back yard parties too. Before he became famous! Always loved him and his guitar!

I hope the roadie got fired

when our hearts are broken open after the loss of a dear loved one, we seem more receptive to signs whether we ask for them or not. to maintain that state of awareness we simply need to quiet our minds, focus on our breath for a few minutes, and slow things down a bit to be able to see and feel their presence. as a Reiki practitioner I can see beyond the veil and am able to see several beings, ie. the client's angels, guides, and their ancestors. when I describe family members to them, they often know who it is. and if it's a relative from a generation they didn't meet they will contact a family member and pass on the description whereupon the identity was revealed - usually a great grandparent and great great grandparent. my prayer for you is that when you need to feel her presence you can simply ask her to come to your side and know she's there.

I absolutely love this and God rest your beloved sister in law's soul. I've heard so many stories like this! I feel like, it's just like God, if you say Show me you're here in a way that only I will understand. He WILL!! And our loved ones will too. There's so much we don't know about the other side. We're only allowed glimpses.

Same happened to me. My mother inlaw passed. I was cleaning out the garage and a hummingbird flew in right up to my face. Seemed a long time. I held my finger up and it landed on it for just a second. Then it flew around my head a few times and took off. What an experience. God rest her soul she was a magnificent human being.

Many PRAYER'SNLUV 👼👼✝️✝️

I get butterflies and beautiful moths with colored wings.. two have been in my bedroom. Then flew away and I never saw again. Got pics of both. The first moth I thought was my Uncle who was my "dad figure" and best friend. I didn't grow up with my dad. He stood in his place. He was my universe. My daughter was in my room with me and I said outlook. "If this is you Uncle Steve.. land on my hand". Within seconds it landed on my finger. My daughter was amazed and excited. She was 11 yrs old at the time. My Gpa passed a year ago next month and again there was a moth with Beautiful colors on its wings.. on my bedspread. I sent the pic to my daughter.. now 16 and immediately she responded "Its Gpa". Ugg I'm in tears. I have many more encountets.. so emotional.. reading all these stories has me in tears and chills. Just know you all are loved very much and very blessed to see these experiences for what they are... just beautiful. Wish more people were open to them because the universe is pretty incredible. Much love ladies. Thank you for sharing your stories. I so enjoyed reading them and needed a good cry with smile on my face... the best kind... cleansing to the soul... God bless! ❤❤❤❤

I know right!

Get obese together!! 😆🍕🍰🍔🍟🍦

Me too!

She had a husband! A man she obviously should not have married.

@@bettybryant7509 That is not for YOU to say....you are a jerk...a judgy nosy busybody...mind your OWN life...it's OBVIOUSLY NOT very fun....and quite unpleasant

It makes us women sad to see eachother so burdened over body image, weight issues etc. It's really heartbreaking because we are SO Hard on ourselves!!- I saw a video of Valerie crying the other day on YT over the pressure due to body image struggles- gosh it never ends- Valerie is a Beautiful woman who does cooking/baking shows for heavens sake & she's a masterful chef!!! I wish I could hug her and tell her how she's "perfect just as she is". I released myself from obsessively watching my weight- I had to it was making me crazy!! I'm 57 5ft 6in and weight about 148lbs and I've learned that it's OK not to look like a stick in size 5 pants! 😆😂❤😇🙏

She dosent have go talk shows to talk about it. It like child looking for attention

The only negative remarks that I've ever heard about Valerie's weight ....was from Valerie herself

I agree… they are both so down to earth and real!!

Agree 👍

Not even close

Really? I see total phonies.

Couple of the fattest.

Hello 👋dear, how are you doing?

Aww Kelly, you don't need that lip liner

@@dianne.simms28Great Job! People like you work hard to mold the world to fit the ugliness within yourselves. And then you project on to others, because you want everyone around you to feel as ugly as you do inside.

Dear Lalerie. + I've seen you since One day @ a Time and on. I always liked your style, as you are your family oriented, oh, as you absolutely /routinelly are cooking! Once I asked fro my brother, Da 0a - rn? I aske you ma, what does Wonder Women can do,what Valerie can??! Keep up your faith, as I'm weel aware of it! Amazing indeed you are. Since I was born in Europa/Europe, we hav an old saying; the person got the kind of friends, the kind of a person she / he is! Indeed, it is very true!

Yep she has a huge heart .

@@truthseeker243 EXCUSE ME?? Clearly you misunderstood my point when I said that. I don't believe she needs. She doesn't usually do that. I absolutely don't feel ugly inside.

Hello Edith how are you doing?

If you are a cow, it will be a consensus!

@@Sealust50 , one day you’ll realize the small issues in life mean nothing….

@@candicegerman9793 NOT a "small" issue - obesity is unhealthy, and has the potential to be actually dangerous, to begin with. Hope you don't "realize" that fact too late, as I likewise hope she doesn't.

@@Sealust50 as well as that.. they don't allow smoking but people over eat.. like ok . Instead of being killed by cigarettes we getting killed by diabetes, heart problem, and no energy, hard time moving around.. they are so twisted.. they think they are loving them self by giving up on being at a healthy weight.. and don't tell me they are pleased with that weight. I understand a 150 pounder.. but 250..300.. IS NOT OK.. UNDER WEIGHT IS 115...125.. AT 135.. BETTER START WORRYING.. BEFORE YOU GET LOST FOREVER 150 YOU BETTER BE KEEPING IT FROM GROWING LIKE 1950s THE BLOB MOVIE

I feel like Kelly talks to much and cuts Valorie off a lot. Maybe let your guests talk a bit more.

Deep? LOL!

Kelly ALWAYS cuts people off,and the subject ALWAYS comes back to her...very selfish.

And they most corpulent celebrities who used to be thin.

Thanks for sharing this moment. I used to cry so much as a lil girl when hearing that song from the American Tail movie that I would rewatch a lot. I do not know what caused me to bawl my eyes out every single time that song would play, however, it just always gave me some feelings that I felt j in n such a big way that I would just react by crying. It’s amazing how that song from that movie moved you emotionally as well! Sending good vibes to you.

@ Ravin Moonsinger, Thank You for your post. You are right on!! If a person has a critical parent, yes,---a person feels like no matter what they do, say or think it' s never enough. It' s like virtually almost impossible to get that compliment. Then becoming a "people pleaser" to get that approval, compliment, or that "Thank You" to validate yourself. That all makes sense now. When I read your post, I also thought of Andy Gibb. In interviews he touched on the feeling he could of never had the success w/out the help & influence of his brothers. He couldn' t of ever done that on his own, he needed them. It sounded like he lacked the self-confidence/self esteem. The interviewers seem so shocked, because he never came across that way to any of his fans. Well, that' s probably where the Cocaine played a role. None of us could see it, but that' s where people use chemical substances to lean on, to give themselves the extra boost of self esteem. He too, had a parent who was hard to please. In interviews of Barry's (his brother), Barry mentioned how hard driving their dad was on them. No matter what they accomplished, he would keep pushing for more. It does throw people into wanting to be people pleasers, just to hear positive feedback. My other parent would say in their spouses defense, they didn' t want us kids getting to puffed up in pride. I had a counselor tell me that wasn' t good parenting to bring your child down with being so critical, they need a certain amount of praise. Otherwise it robs the child of their self confidence. All things in moderation. Always critizising, never giving validation or praise isn' t healthy. But neither is, no discipline nor boundaries. Everything needs to be in moderation.

Lovely post, Raven. Linda Ronstadt oftentimes said if a song makes you cry, it's done its job. "Somewhere Out There" is such a comforting song to help one process loss. Thought you might enjoy this live performance of the song that's meant so much to you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7BghqaQ1L7WiKs.html

@ Raven Moonsinger, I just wanted to thank you again for your enlightening post. And add one more point. Life teaches us to forgive. After I grew into an adult, somewhere along my journey I did realize I also made mistakes, not with just my parent, but in my own role as a parent. I learned many years ago, there are times this parenting thing is certainly not always easy. And I accepted that it' s quite unrealistic to think my parents should both just be perfect, and never allowed to make a mistake , they were learning too. Just like myself as a parent. Expecting them to not make mistakes was pretty unrealistic on my part. I know I' ve made my share in the role as parent. I am human, not perfect. So I learned to forgive. They did well for what they knew at the time. And so did I. I also did the best I could, with what I knew at the time. I hope I got a little smarter, with each one. I listened to another interview with Valerie Bertinelli and even she admitted, she too was not a perfect parent. Hopefully I am still learning from my mistakes to be better person every day. I need to remind myself, don' t be so hard on yourself, and others. We are all trying to learn life' s lessons. After all,--- life is a classroom, and classrooms are for learning.

Heck, Raven....you made ME cry, hearing your story. I'm going to listen to that song again too....

🥲👶🥲❤️🙏

I agree with you and I love your story/experience 🥰

@@patriciaobrien6600 thank you so much

I love the honesty of Kelly Clarkson ❤. They have great chemistry. Also Sandra Bullock one. Oh my gosh so funny. Take off the view and just have Kelly. She talks to them like they are best friends

Hello Kee Kee how are you doing?

Why so much hatred towards trolls? We should be accepting of all people and that includes trolls. Tell a troll today that you love them and maybe give them some money and encourage them in their trolling activities. Trolls have feelings too. Make 2022 the year of the troll!

Do you think Ed would care to watch over his widowed wife?

@@marinagarcia4262 Absolutely.

she hates him and is being nice. I know or KNEW both of them. I was a close friend to Eddie back before he became a complete monster to everyone--even sweet Valerie--and he was HORRIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE to valerie. Her being the person she is wont speak bad of the dead and the father to her son. Do some reading about Eddie--COMPLETE DICK

He had the best smile. He had that same smile every time I saw him on TV. I think of it as he was a little boy just always happy.

Hi 👋 dear, how are you doing?

What all has she been through?

@@hollydespain2593 BINGO.. Born beautiful, got super rich/famous. Married a incredibly talented/desirable/hot/rich rockstar. Lived the "life" until it ran its course. Cancer got him like most of us yet lived into his 60s. Son is cursed with her fat genes but they will never go hungry or have to balance a checkbook.

@@JIMJAMSCson is cursed with her fat genes? What an insensitive comment.

Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by an upsetting event happening in their lives that takes them by surprise, unexpectedly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. Why are so many people across the world suddenly having their appendix removed? The appendix is associated with “being in fear for one’s life”. The HEALING phase is the rupture/inflammation. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the war, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

Now why couldn't come up earlier, wiht this?! Yes indeed, Well put!!

Hmm? Now let me exceed that one?! Valerie is a Down to ear, multy talented, angelic private yet celebrity! There, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart! - Ta - ta - ta!! ( Like the ending of . . . I just called . . . . )

We all do we love you 😍

I, too, attended a Van Halen concert 8 years ago. Had the pleasure of seeing Eddie play finally, and see him play with his son onstage. I missed Michael Anthony, but Wolfie definitely had the talent to hold his own up there.

You can send them to me 🙏

She needs her own show so she could talk about herself. From Ms. Harper Stacey.

Do you still feel your Husband’s presence?

@@stephaniewolf2134 Often..I have MS & he was my caretaker for years..it seems when I have my worst days I will smell his cologne or wake to feel he has just left my room. I awoke once to see him standing by his armoire in our room, just leaning there watching me with a sweet smile. He faded quite quickly & I was sure for weeks I just dreamt it but.. he appeared in a Lucid dream & said No, I was there just watching over you. My son was recently hospitalized & although I had been there all day and it had been extremely frightening, he was going up to a regular room & not ICU and was going to be OK (we almost lost him in the ambulance). As I was walking out of the ER I took one more glance back at my son & was shocked when his father was standing next to his bed. My son seemed unaware, and I thought, I would just not say anything to him. I called him that night to say Goodnight & he told me..Mom, just as you left, I said out loud..Dad..I wish you were here...and as soon as I had said that... our 2 water bottles on my tray table (across the room) went flying off the table!!! So I told him that I saw his Dad standing right next to the bed..He was there! It seems whenever something is troubling one of us, he sends signals, certain songs show up on the kid's play lists that were never there. Lights turn on & off (that a BIG ONE!)...but as an Empath..many people come thru to me so it's not ALWAYS HIM... BUT, I was with him since I was 17, I ALWAYS know when it's him..and take comfort in the signs he sends. Thank you 4 asking!! Blessed be.

@@borninthewrongtime6449 I’m so happy to hear that! You are definitely blessed! 😊
