She didn't have an overall message for everyone, but inadvertently, one came through. Here's what it was, and it's particularly pertinent regarding this last week, the week that Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to life for his crimes resulting from a 20-year long addiction to oxycontin and oxycodin. The message was how our society has been decimated from the opioid crisis.
She walks from one section of the auditorium to another. In this auditorium, I think she went to about seven spots.
When she was in one particular area, which was to our right, there were a substantial number of people who were there because they wanted to talk to someone who had died due to opioid drug use.
Now the question is, how did all these people get grouped together? They certainly didn't tell the ticket sales office "I want to sit with the opioid death people."
It's a mystery how this happens. Theresa made the point that she has noticed this "grouping" effect--that people tended to sit with others who had suffered the same tragedy: suicides in one area, drug use losses in another. In this audience, there were numerous people in one section who had lost a loved to a murder. When she connects with an individual and their accompanying spirits, she asks if others have had that kind of death. People raise their hands. That's how you notice they are loosely "grouped."
After she told us about the group effect, she commented on how large thae opioid section was, so if there was a message from Theresa to the audience as a whole, it was "Look at how devastating the opioid crisis has been."
