0:01Really, the first three or four days, I
0:03didn't want to go on living, that was
0:05everything and it was hardly any
0:07different from anyone else. Then Fritz
0:10sat at our kitchen table and said that
0:11everything is fine, that he is doing
0:13well. That was so clear, I haven't
0:15forgotten a single second of that dream
0:17. Then Fritz, that's the son's name,
0:22came through and gave me information
0:26for two hours, such details that I
0:30really couldn't have known. Yes,
0:34and from then on the world was
0:35different. Ms. Winkel provided us with
0:37one piece of information after another
0:39for two and a half hours. Among other
0:42things, that our son had to stop
0:43playing soccer at 12 years old.
0:45What did she know at that time? Mr.
1:07Wenk, some time ago you lost your then
1:1016-year-old son under tragic
1:12circumstances. That turned your life
1:16upside down, as you told me beforehand,
1:18but you were then able to experience
1:20some very impressive contacts from
1:22beyond, partly also with the help of
1:24mediums. I would like to talk to you
1:28about all of that, but first ask you to
1:30remember again, how did your son's
1:31death come about? What exactly happened
1:34back then? I didn't really grasp it at
1:36the time. I was just about to finish
1:39work, it was 4:35 or 4:40 PM, and I was
1:42heading home. We have a small craft
1:44business on the farm and I wanted to
1:46see what had happened during the day.
1:47And someone called me, had already
1:49called three times. Fritz fell at the
1:52fire station. I didn't think anything
1:55of it, I thought he just tripped or
1:56something. I spoke with the foreman
1:57first and said I'd head over there.
2:00When I got to the fire station, there
2:01was already a huge crowd, an ambulance,
2:03everything was there. My wife and my
2:05other son were already standing there,
2:07and I joined them; my wife said, "Fritz
2:09has something with his heart and the
2:11emergency doctor is here and they are
2:12trying to resuscitate him."
2:14Mhm.
2:15And that took about half an hour to
2:16forty-five minutes, maybe an hour.
2:18There was also a trained first
2:21responder on site immediately. But I
2:23only learned the full extent of that
2:25later.
2:27And they tried for an hour in the
2:28ambulance, then said there was really
2:30no point anymore, but because he was
2:32such a young person, they would take
2:33him to the clinic and try everything
2:35there. Then I first took care of our
2:38eleven-year-old daughter and waited
2:42until my mother came home and then I
2:44drove here. My wife was in the
2:47ambulance and when I uh arrived at the
2:49clinic in Suhl, my wife came toward me
2:52and said the doctors just told me that
2:55Fritz didn't make it.
2:57And that was completely out of the blue
2:59.
2:59He was completely healthy.
3:01He had started a new school, was really
3:03into life, had plans, was just in the
3:05process of finding his own way and
3:07really, he wanted to go to Japan, he
3:09wanted that, he was truly the happiest
3:11he had ever been in his life at that
3:13time. We had also just really found a
3:16foundation with each other, we were
3:17right in the middle of it. We wanted to
3:19drive together to his school, which is
3:2130 km away. We now had common interests
3:24that we could talk about, and my wife
3:26picked him up from his internship in
3:28the afternoon. He was then, she wanted
3:30to drive him to volleyball practice. He
3:32said, no, Mom, I'll walk. Uh, he helped
3:35his sister with music or math homework,
3:37which he never did, took a lot of time
3:39for it, and then left and walked out
3:41the door. The neighbors all saw him
3:43running. So he was in a hurry. He went
3:46over an iron bridge across the train
3:48tracks, down the bridge, and he must
3:50have stumbled right in front of the
3:51fire station. There are people who say
3:55he grabbed his left thigh, dragged
3:56himself a bit, but then fell down and,
3:58yeah.
4:00So was it actually a fall or what? Well
4:03, the fall probably resulted from heart
4:06failure, and yeah, then we were in the
4:09hospital and were allowed to see him
4:11one more time, and then it was, yeah,
4:14that was it, it was over, we went home,
4:16and then of course our world collapsed.
4:20Especially because this close
4:21relationship uh was just developing.
4:23Well, because it's your own child and
4:25because you never expect something like
4:27this, because we had plans for the year
4:29and because we really–maybe we
4:31already did a lot together, but it had
4:33actually become more intense and we
4:35were just on the right path and had
4:37slowly started to...
4:38Father and son.
4:39It was like a family unit, that we were
4:41really getting closer and that we had
4:42such resilient things that were really
4:44only good for us, and we were moving
4:46more and more from the outside to the
4:48inside.
4:48And then it came out of the blue.
4:50What did you do in that situation? You
4:52had to comfort others too, somehow.
4:55I was lying on the sofa, and for the
4:57first few days I had this impulse, like
4:59, what am I still doing here? My wife
5:02and I, we were lying on the sofa. My
5:05older son, he was always out, he didn't
5:08want to come home, he was constantly
5:10away, and our daughter, I think she was
5:13ten at the time, basically kept us
5:16alive. She cooked for us, she did
5:19crafts, she made really beautiful
5:20things for Fritz with five stones and
5:22truly comforted us.
5:25And then it happened relatively quickly
5:28, what others also report, people we
5:31had supposedly been friends with for
5:34years. Went into hiding, and people we
5:37didn't really have much to do with
5:39called us, and I don't want to say
5:41harassed, but they called us constantly
5:42, and every single one of them who
5:47spoke to us helped us. We realized that
5:50every word that is sincere provides
5:53comfort and helps us, but those first
5:56three, four days, I didn't want to go
5:59on living, it was all just
6:02hiding, because there was simply an
6:04inability to deal with the subject.
6:05Yes, I don't know. It turns out now
6:08that there are many acquaintances,
6:10friendships that were on a level with
6:12no depth, where you occupied yourself
6:14with things that don't matter anymore.
6:18Even now, after a year and 5 months, I
6:20ask myself why I wasted my life so
6:22pointlessly until then, busying myself
6:25with distractions that are totally
6:27meaningless, and there is so much to
6:29discover now,
6:31that I say, that is nothing, and
6:34luckily, many people have entered our
6:36lives. Three weeks ago, when we were
6:38working in the garden, I said to my
6:40wife for the first time, the worst
6:41thing that could happen has happened,
6:43that our Fritz is no longer here. But
6:45since Fritz has been gone, we have
6:46actually only experienced good things.
6:48Everything has turned for the better.
6:51Looking back, do you have the
6:53impression that in the last few days or
6:56in the time before this event, there
6:58was a noticeable change in your son,
7:01that he showed something in his
7:03behavior that was never the case before
7:06? It wasn't in the last, it wasn't
7:09really noticeable, but in the last six
7:11months, ever since he changed schools,
7:13he had become significantly more active
7:15and interested. He drove to Dizzausen
7:17on his own, signed up for boxing
7:19training, and was really active; he was
7:21, perhaps for the first time in his
7:22life, truly self-determined, happy, and
7:24content. He spent much more time with
7:27his grandparents in the last few weeks
7:28before that. On the Sunday before it
7:32happened, I was also at my parents '
7:34house for lunch with my daughter. He
7:36was sleeping, as always. I was really
7:38furious then. Fritz, you’re just
7:39staying here. Then he came over later.
7:42He was totally relaxed. As if nothing
7:44had happened, we went for a really nice
7:45walk with the dog. We also took the
7:47photos there that we all draw strength
7:48from now. With the dog in the woods,
7:50sitting nicely. Those are the pictures
7:52we use everywhere now and have. Almost
7:54as if we had done one last photo shoot
7:56to say goodbye. I ask because I have
7:59already spoken with some bereaved
8:02parents, and some report that, in
8:06retrospect, there was some kind of
8:09striking development, a maturing
8:12process in the child, where they
8:15appeared especially self-confident,
8:18wise, and capable of love. It was in
8:22the sense that he truly developed
8:23self-confidence and a self-determined
8:25path; he became increasingly clear, but
8:27it wasn’t a sudden shift or a
8:28development that came out of nowhere.
8:31It hinted at itself very slowly, and he
8:33was
8:33actually, quite naturally, a
8:34development.
8:35Yes, it was different from our other
8:36children and also different from what
8:38I’ve observed in many other kids. He
8:40was just—or in retrospect, I already
8:42had the impression back then that his
8:44aura had developed massively in the
8:46last year of his life. He used to be
8:49the inconspicuous one who sometimes had
8:50a bit of a hard time in the classes he
8:52was in. But especially in the last six
8:54months, wherever Fritz went, he was
8:56present; he developed such a presence,
8:58but it happened piece by piece and not
9:00in a way where I could say it only
9:02started two weeks before he passed.
9:04How did you and your wife continue from
9:06there? What helped you with the
9:08grieving process? That was just after
9:11two days. For some reason, I—we have
9:14an acquaintance in Dresden, and I
9:16called him—we were lying on the sofa,
9:18and he said to our daughter, "Fritz,
9:19that’s not true, he’s in heaven and
9:21is watching from above, looking out for
9:23you." And naturally, we couldn't accept
9:27it at all, but our daughter said, "Look
9:29, Dad, Fritz is in heaven." And then,
9:32she slowly...you weren't really
9:34religiously or spiritually oriented at
9:36all, nothing, nothing. I didn't rule
9:39anything out. I think that's called
9:41agnosticism or something like that. I
9:42didn't rule anything out, but I also
9:44didn't give it any thought. But then,
9:47after we spoke on the phone with
9:49Torsten Frank, two days later, people
9:51were suddenly at our kitchen table whom
9:54we knew, but who were never there
9:55otherwise. And then, two days later, it
9:58started; a successful businessman from
10:00Sul started telling us about the Book
10:02of Life that is already written. That
10:03was completely new territory for me.
10:06Then a medical doctor, a surgeon, told
10:08us about the Palm Leaf Library and
10:10shared how he was there in person when
10:13a young girl collapsed in a gym and
10:15afterwards reported exactly who had
10:17what in their lab coat pockets. For me,
10:21because I had always been so curious
10:23beforehand, that was the straw I
10:25grabbed onto. So I went for it; I spent
10:29weeks lying on the sofa, looking
10:30everywhere, soaking up information. We
10:34also quickly found a funeral celebrant,
10:36who I met through some supposed
10:38coincidences, who was already retired,
10:40and I thought, if she's retired, she
10:42must do her work because she loves it.
10:46She sat at our table, I told her about
10:47it, and she said to me, "Well, Mr. Wenk
10:49, if that helps you, then you have to
10:50believe in it." I nearly jumped out of
10:52my skin and said, "Ms. [Name], I won't
10:54say the name, you've been doing this
10:56for 50 years; either you know there is
10:58something there, or you don't believe
10:59in it." And if you don't believe in it,
11:01then tell me clearly. Otherwise, we
11:02might as well stop right here. My wife
11:04would have preferred to sink into the
11:07floor, but we cleared the air, and
11:09after that, we talked to each other,
11:11and then I really grabbed every straw I
11:13could reach and, like the
11:14hunter-gatherers of the past, I simply
11:16hunted for information and collected
11:19data.
11:19With the gut feeling that there is
11:21something there, with the hope. At the
11:23beginning, it was hope.
11:23Yes.
11:24We were sitting then. For example, at
11:26the funeral home and naturally, we were
11:29supposed to say something. And this
11:32lady says: "Wend, you phrased that so
11:34beautifully, wouldn't you like to write
11:35a paragraph like that for the speech?"
11:38And that felt like a hammer blow to me:
11:40"Dad, you should be able to write that
11:41little bit yourself and tell it
11:43yourself, too." And for me, that was
11:45the clear mandate: You write it
11:46yourself. Then we held the ceremony 6
11:48weeks later, and I just gave the speech
11:51, telling myself that if I broke down
11:53after two sentences, then so be it.
11:55Then it is what it is, but at least I
11:57tried. For me, it was like an
11:59obligation to my child; that everything
12:01I had missed out on in life, I could
12:03now at least try to make up for bit by
12:05bit.
12:05Mhm.
12:06And then I spoke for half an hour, and
12:08with the knowledge I had back then, I
12:10also said that I do not accept that my
12:12child is dead as long as I have no
12:14proof. Mhm.
12:15And that was essentially the core of it
12:17.
12:18How did it continue from there until
12:20you were open to phenomena that are
12:22described as afterlife contacts? I was
12:26already open to it. I just couldn't
12:27believe it. I just couldn't believe it,
12:30but after it was said that way—the
12:32signs were simply too clear—and now,
12:34to jump ahead, I truly believe through
12:36the experiences we've gathered, that
12:38yes, we as souls tick similarly to how
12:40we do here on Earth. And I think to
12:43myself, if I'm just as much of a
12:45chatterbox there as I am here, then as
12:47a soul, I probably had it written into
12:49my contract that if I have to suffer
12:50this fate, then I want to be given
12:52decent signs that I can read. And we
12:56had—we have 2,000 residents in the
12:58place where Fritz fell, and the moment
13:00he fell, a trained Bundeswehr first
13:02responder was driving by. This trained
13:05first responder saw my son fall. Fritz
13:08wasn't even on the ground yet before he
13:10was already receiving qualified heart
13:12massage. I also cannot confirm that
13:14there is no civil courage in our
13:16country. Everyone who was there tried
13:17to help. People brought blankets, were
13:19worried, comforted us, and tried
13:21everything for Fritz. The ambulance
13:23arrived after 7 or 8 minutes.
13:25So there was nothing where you could
13:27blame anyone, right? None at all. On
13:29the contrary, we saw that the world is
13:31much better than it is portrayed,
13:32because in the emergency ambulance sat
13:34a trained pediatrician. At the clinic
13:37in Suhl, the chief physician, they all
13:39—they just couldn't grasp that our
13:41child
13:43is no longer here, because actually, he
13:45had better care than in the intensive
13:47care unit. And were there any signs or
13:51coincidences that convinced you that he
13:54might live on in another form?
13:59I clung to that hope and tried to
14:00really collect facts, since we are
14:02practically tradesmen, and as a
14:03tradesman, I’ve prided myself for
14:05years: we don’t look for who’s to
14:07blame, we solve the problem first, and
14:09then we clarify who is at fault.
14:12And I now view that exactly as
14:14preparation, as training for this
14:16situation. And it was exactly the same
14:19there. I just kept on collecting things
14:21, and then there was this glow of fire
14:23that looked like a face with a tail on
14:25it. And that was actually the first
14:27clear sign we had.
14:30That was the first time I said, yes,
14:31there is something there, and perhaps
14:33that was the first qualified, the
14:35qualified hint that we could lean on.
14:38But to be able to seriously believe in
14:40this, you need a thousand pieces of
14:42evidence, and one piece of evidence, or
14:44supposed evidence, that says the
14:46opposite throws you right back again.
14:49Did you have the very concrete
14:51impression that your son was also
14:53trying to make contact through signs
14:55that were recognizable or palpable to
14:58you?
14:59Yes, I really did. But when you are
15:02just looking for arguments, for real,
15:07reliable evidence, then it is always
15:10hard to say, yes, this is—but when I
15:12look back at it in retrospect, a medium
15:18from Lenkfeld also said, "Fritz will
15:20make his presence known on the day of
15:22his service, and you won't be able to
15:24miss it."
15:25That was before the funeral.
15:26Before the funeral. The funeral was six
15:28weeks later, and on that day—well,
15:30it’s still a bit much for me to
15:32process. On that day, there were these
15:34sonic booms in Germany—it was in the
15:36newspapers back then—these supposed
15:38ones where it really banged, and no one
15:40could explain it. The press says it was
15:42a sonic boom near us. And at the exact
15:44moment it banged, a former Bundeswehr
15:46soldier who had served in Afghanistan
15:48was standing at our door, dropping off
15:50a two-meter-tall ginkgo tree, and at
15:51that very moment, it banged, at 6
15:53o'clock in the evening. And he says, "
15:55That was no supersonic aircraft in a
15:57thousand years." And that was such a
16:00sign, which is actually impossible to
16:02beat in terms of clarity, but where I
16:03say: The scale and the dimension–I
16:05would like to believe it, but it’s
16:09quite a big deal if that’s how it was
16:11done. Then there were just many other
16:13little things. The teacher, his primary
16:15school teacher, overslept on the day of
16:17the ceremony. She then felt that Fritz
16:20was shaking her awake and had
16:21practically seen Fritz when she got up.
16:24I got up and then there was a glorious
16:26sunrise, like I had never seen before.
16:29But I still don’t know if I can
16:30really interpret that as a sign or if
16:31I’m just imagining it. Because the
16:33last thing I want to do is talk myself
16:35into a situation just because it helps
16:37me. That is simply not our approach.
16:40And uh, they had—this is how I
16:43interpret it—signs that they couldn't
16:46definitively evaluate, but they wanted
16:49more, they wanted certainty, and that
16:52was probably the reason they turned to
16:55a medium.
16:57That was also, yes, like so many of
16:59these strange stories. I then started
17:02lying on the sofa for days and watching
17:04all sorts of things about afterlife
17:06contacts and everything. And then I was
17:09lying on the sofa on a Saturday or
17:11Sunday afternoon and there was some
17:12report by an American who was saying
17:14something. The library is 5 km long,
17:17clear lake and glittering and beautiful
17:19and all, where I said: "Typical,
17:20they’ve lost their marbles," and
17:22actually wanted to turn it off. And
17:26then—and that was the first truly
17:28decisive moment—a young, blonde girl
17:30comes on in a flannel shirt and they do
17:33an interview about little Luna Annika
17:35Scheller.
17:37And I watched it and that was this
17:39Annika, she looked so authentic in the
17:41video and I couldn't grasp it at all
17:43and that was actually, like, the first
17:45milestone.
17:47Then I go for a walk with the dog,
17:48write Annika a message. Two hours later
17:50, a message comes from Annika, yes, we
17:53can do it either on the 13th of January
17:55or next week. Said, naturally next week
17:57. Then we did astral travel via Annika
18:00and so on, and also had an experience.
18:02So I had an intense dream then, that
18:04Fritz, so that was the astral travel
18:07after, I had this one and that was
18:09hardly different from all the others.
18:11Then Fritz was sitting at our kitchen
18:14table, I stood up, he was sitting there
18:16in a red hoodie and looked at me,
18:19apologized to me for leaving us so
18:21suddenly and said that everything is
18:24fine, that he is doing well. Beige
18:26pants, a really bright, vibrant red
18:27hoodie, he said that everything is fine
18:29, that everything is beautiful, that he
18:31is doing well and that we don't need to
18:33worry, and it was—I don't know, it
18:35was so clear, I haven't forgotten a
18:36single second of that moment in that
18:38room.
18:39I mean, in terms of quality and deep
18:40intensity, it was something very, very
18:41special—just like how you are sitting
18:43here, that’s how it was. I then went
18:45over to him, got down on my knees,
18:47pressed myself into his side, and then
18:50the moment was over, but it was still
18:52such a, such a sign.
18:54And then it continued, Annika Scheller
18:56recommended Miriam Winkler to us. I
18:59wrote, "Dear Ms. Winkler," because the
19:01appointments were booked, "Dear Ms.
19:03Winkler, my son is..."
19:04She works as a medium. Yes. And then
19:07she wrote back in her, well, snappy way
19:09, "Uh, dear Mr. Weng, I actually wanted
19:12to say all that myself, but he is
19:15creative." I want to come up with
19:16something. And then, six weeks after
19:18what happened on December 20th...We got
19:20an appointment with Ms. Winkler and
19:22drove to Hüffenhardt, and from then on
19:24, the world was different. Ms. Winkler
19:27provided us with one piece of
19:28information after another for two and a
19:30half hours, among other things, that
19:32our son had to stop playing soccer at
19:34age 12. What did she know at the time?
19:37Nothing, absolutely nothing, except
19:38that my son was 16, that his name was
19:39Fritz, and that he had an accident on
19:41the way to...
19:41You told her that.
19:43Well, but they don't even want to know
19:44that. She scolded me for telling her
19:46that. And we were sitting there and she
19:49starts, and one thing after another.
19:51She told us that Fritz wasn't a typical
19:53teenager, that he preferred listening
19:54to classical music over anything else.
19:57That's true, that he had exactly two
19:58friends, and then about his feet, she
20:00said, "Your son had to stop soccer
20:02because he had a problem with his feet,
20:04" and Fritz really did have surgery,
20:06had screws in his feet, and had to stop
20:07playing soccer for that reason.
20:10And those were just a few examples; it
20:12lasted two hours, a real firework of
20:14arguments, and when we drove away, just
20:16before Christmas, I saw life in my
20:18wife's eyes again for the first time.
20:20She finally had hope for the first time
20:22. She called her mother, talked to her
20:24for an hour, and was completely
20:25thrilled and beside herself. And then,
20:29after the appointment with Winkler at
20:32the latest, we were completely on track
20:35, and from that moment on, the belief
20:38that it could be this way
20:40or that it is this way, that belief
20:42took the upper hand at that point. In
20:45contacts with mediums, it is often
20:48alleged by critics and skeptics that
20:51mediums just say things that can be
20:54gathered through what is known as cold
20:57reading. Perhaps you can report a few
21:01details from the conversation that
21:03impressed you particularly, where a
21:04sense of certainty opened up for you.
21:08Yes, that was the feet, for example.
21:10And then she also clearly said, "Fritz
21:12is clutching his heart." She sees that
21:15he was on the ground immediately. She
21:17sees that his soul was out of his body
21:18before he hit the ground. She sees that
21:21helpers were there immediately, in the
21:22very first moment. She sees a street
21:25and public transport, and across from
21:26the fire station is the bus station and
21:28the train station. She sees that he was
21:32in an ambulance immediately, that first
21:35aid was there, that—that we couldn't
21:37have done anything.
21:40So, she told you everything that
21:42happened to him herself, yes,
21:45without her being able to know that.
21:46Yes. And then, many other things from
21:48his life that are just as accurate. He
21:50was a bit—well, he was actually
21:51relatively mature for his age in terms
21:53of his thoughts. As I said, he
21:55preferred going to the theater over
21:58other kinds of things. He wasn't part
22:00of any real gang. He was completely on
22:02his way to finding his path, and she
22:04described Fritz's essence to us just as
22:06he really was, or is, I would think.
22:09That naturally brought about a
22:11significant change in your worldview.
22:14Did you have the feeling of more
22:16intensive contact after that, how are
22:18you doing today? Yes, today I can tell
22:22you, I feel like, at times, it wasn't
22:24Fritz who died, but me. I feel almost
22:27like a DHL courier. Without me being
22:30able to interpret why it happens, I get
22:31impulses from Fritz.
22:33and just say it out loud and then we'll
22:36,
22:37so you feel permanent contact.
22:40I now say, I I even talk my way out of
22:42every crazy idea with my wife and say,
22:44that was Fritz, not me. And also
22:46because you have that with this medial
22:48world, with the co-reading. We, we are
22:51also lucky that we really, well we know
22:53now, we have practically four mediums
22:55with whom we also have normal contact
22:57through various other activities as
22:59well, and these are all authentic women
23:01who have another job on the side and
23:03who really deliver facts, and we have
23:05had contact with all four of them once
23:08and since then nothing drives us
23:09anymore. So we don't even ask them
23:12about Fritz anymore. Sometimes they say
23:13, Fritz is here and that also makes it
23:15authentic and sometimes they say, is
23:17Fritz here? No, not today. And for me,
23:19it's still in the foreground, I want
23:22this, what the work they do, to become
23:25the new reality, and for it to be the
23:27new reality, my mission is, I see it as
23:30my mission to reach as many people as
23:33possible. I don't have to go to 20
23:35mediums, because for myself, I know
23:36what my truth is. But the more people
23:39come to this topic out of the blue, and
23:41I notice or I sense that this is
23:43becoming a broader topic among the
23:45population, that the willingness for it
23:47is becoming more open—but I just need
23:49results. And everyone, well I compare
23:52it to driving an automatic: everyone
23:53who doesn't drive an automatic
23:55complains: "I don't need an automatic."
23:57Once they have driven an automatic,
23:58they say: "It's not that bad," and 90
24:00percent stick with it. And it's the
24:02same principle with this medial work
24:03and changing one's worldview. Everyone
24:06who deals with it, everyone who really
24:07opens up to this topic.
24:09How are you yourself doing with your
24:11grief today?
24:13Well, it's there are phases where I
24:15where we also fall into a hole, but
24:18it's like an amplitude, the peaks
24:20upwards are still there, but these
24:22valleys are no longer as deep. So, we
24:25are now actually always above zero. You
24:27know it will pass.
24:29Yes, because I now also know, whenever
24:31the situation seems most hopeless, so
24:33whenever I really think, there's no way
24:35forward, I rely on getting a hint on
24:37how to continue. And I have to say once
24:40again: without your channel, without
24:42Tanatus TV, we would never have come on
24:44this path to finding any direction at
24:45all, because you practically bridge the
24:48gap between our real world and this
24:49spiritual world with your reports on
24:51near-death experiences. And you make it
24:53imaginable and tangible, and anyone who
24:55opens themselves up and watches four or
24:57five reports on Tanatus TV, well, it
24:59gets etched into them. The more often I
25:01watch it, the stronger my belief in it
25:03becomes. And in my view, this
25:04development is something everyone has
25:06to go through for themselves. I can't
25:08do it the way you do. I can offer a
25:11platform, can say, take a look at this,
25:13and then it spreads on its own, I
25:15believe. I wish you all the best for
25:18your activities in this direction.
25:21Thank you very much for your openness
25:23in sharing your experiences. Thanks for
25:26the gu
25:26great pleasure, and I would also like
25:27to thank you again for your work. I
25:30believe you cannot even begin to gauge
25:32what you are achieving and how much
25:34positive energy you are bringing into
25:36the world, because it is simply of
25:38invaluable worth.
25:40That is very kind. The commercial break
25:42was long enough now.
25:43Quality prevails without advertising.
25:45So thank you very much, Mr. Wenk, for
25:47you and your wife. Thank you. Uh,
25:55my first contact with the Wenk family
25:57was that I received an email. Uh, I
26:01can't repeat the exact wording now, but
26:04the email said: "Dear Ms. Winkler, we
26:07have an emergency. Um, my son has
26:10suddenly passed into the spirit world.
26:15Um, and I read on your homepage that
26:17you don't have any free appointments
26:18for the next six months. But it also
26:22says. In case of emergencies, we are
26:24welcome to email you, and that's why
26:26this email is here. And um, I think it
26:30came in November, that email, and I was
26:34really, uh, booked solid for the year.
26:39So. And then I tuned into it. It really
26:42is an emergency. Yes. And then the son
26:46arrived. He mentioned it, unfortunately
26:48, in the email. Um, yes, my son has
26:51passed into the spirit world, even
26:54though it says in big letters on my
26:56homepage that I want neither
26:58information about the client contacting
27:01me, nor about the deceased—absolutely
27:04no information. And Mr. Wenk was very
27:06generous, though. Well, I had to, in
27:10that case, you know, passed away
27:12suddenly, and then I tuned into it and
27:15I received the impulse that it was
27:17really important to do it before
27:19Christmas, and then I wrote back to the
27:22Wenk family. Um Looking back, it sounds
27:27very cheeky. Um, yes, dear Mr. Wenk,
27:31there is actually already information
27:33contained in this email. Your son
27:36actually wanted to share it with me as
27:39proof, but he is creative. You get an
27:42appointment, I believe it was shortly
27:45before Christmas, the 22nd. or 21st.
27:49December. Um, but only if you come here
27:52to me on-site. And an email came back
27:57immediately saying, we will take the
27:59appointment, and I wrote into the email
28:01, please do not share any more
28:03information with me until this
28:04appointment, neither about yourself nor
28:06about your child. And yes, the Wenk
28:11family then, so he and his wife—and
28:17their son's transition was only two
28:20months ago at most—very much in grief
28:24, um, energy-wise very closed off, very
28:27agitated. And yes, I was naturally also
28:31a bit under pressure because I already
28:34knew two or three pieces of information
28:36, which would have already been great
28:38proof. would have been, yes, for me and
28:40for the son. Yes, and then it was Fritz
28:50came, that's the son's name, and he
28:54gave me information for two hours, such
28:58details that I really could not have
29:02known. Yes. Um, I knew he had collapsed
29:06on the way to volleyball practice, and
29:09um, your son then showed me, um, that
29:12he had played soccer in the past and,
29:14for example, couldn't play anymore
29:17because he had something wrong with his
29:20foot. He had a deformity in his foot.
29:22Yes, and he showed me something like a
29:25screw or a plate. And that was, for my
29:27mind at the time, like, I don't
29:29understand this. He was on the way to
29:31volleyball practice, and now he is
29:32telling me he shouldn't actually be
29:34doing any sports at all. And um, that's
29:37when I learned: Okay, just set your
29:39mind aside. And the information was
29:43correct, yes, about his health issues,
29:46which I, even as a child—which I also
29:49couldn't have known. And the family sat
29:53there completely perplexed, um, went
29:59into such healing, so close to tears,
30:02also the wife, who was still more
30:05closed off, so denser in her energy and
30:07was in even more grief than her husband
30:10. Um and we then also immediately, I
30:15remember this, wrote with Fritz. I have
30:17a writing planchette, a writing
30:20instrument, and uh showed them how the
30:23spirit world can also communicate via a
30:26writing medium. And in the end, my
30:30partner cooked for me that evening, I
30:32still remember that, and I actually had
30:35a time limit, but Fritz kept us in
30:37conversation for so long, um, that the
30:39Wenk family eventually said, um, don't
30:41you actually need to go home? And then
30:44I said, yes, I do. So the food was
30:46overcooked by then, yeah? And I had
30:50some stress with my partner, but, um,
30:53it was worth it, because the family
30:55told me afterward, you saved our
30:58Christmas, yes, without you. And Mr.
31:03Wenk also stands by that and says, I
31:05believe I wouldn't be here anymore.
31:08Because I wanted to follow my son. And
31:12then I also understood why it was so
31:14important to the son. Um, to definitely
31:17have this appointment before Christmas.
31:21Um, he showed me afterward, among other
31:24things, he says, Miriam, take a look at
31:26my chest. And I say, oh for God's sake,
31:29Fritz, what did they do to your chest?
31:33Um, and then he says, they resuscitated
31:36me to death. And yes, that's how it
31:40turned out, they resuscitated him for
31:43an hour and a half and he says to me,
31:45Miriam, what do people think is left of
31:47me when I come back into the body after
31:50an hour and a half? I would have been
31:55mentally no longer the same, physically
31:57no longer the same. Um, and questioned
32:01exactly such situations. Question
32:05emergency medicine. So, I actually get
32:10to learn in every contact with the
32:12beyond, and I also took an incredible
32:15amount away for myself from Fritz. Yes.
