My Critique on Long Island Medium

On TLC, a reality television show has aired over a year ago and I have been hooked on it since. Theresa Caputo captured my attention because of her unique talent. She has been blessed with the gift of the ability to connect with people who have passed away. She says that they speak to her in ways people do not understand. It astounds me to know someone can have that connection with people who are not here with us physically but are here in some way, spiritually.
Although some people do not believe in this, I am intrigued by this reality show and the guests that have been reconnected with their loved ones. Ultimately, she helps people by bringing them closure to their worries and questions about their loved ones who have passed.
