Emotions were running high on this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show as host Drew Barrymore sobbed amid her interview with Long Island Medium star Theresa Caputo.

Before the big-haired and freshly spray-tanned psychic medium delivered messages from beyond the grave to a lucky handful of audience members, Barrymore revealed that she had a conversation with her late grandfather, whom she had never met, during a recent mediation session. Plus, she detailed a sign she got from her father the night before they spread his ashes when the door to the bungalow she was staying in suddenly opened in the middle of the night.

“I think that’s Spirit getting your attention,” Caputo explained to the host. “That’s the souls letting you know that they’re present and reminding you that they’re with you at that exact moment. I say they’re little hellos from heaven. My jaw drops every single time I channel Spirit.”

Once Caputo confirmed Barrymore’s suspicions, the tears began flowing. While the actress subtly dabbed her eyes and tried to “hold it back” as Caputo was speaking, her trusty co-host Ross Mathews caught on quickly and pointed out that she was clearly “feeling things” at that moment.

“You just gave me an idea which is one that I never ever thought,” she told Caputo through tears. “I’ve just had such a yearning my whole life for family and all the sudden, when you talked about how somebody could be waiting for them on the other side, then maybe that is when I’ll be with my family. Because they died all before I was born and I never pictured them being there, so that was really exciting.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Caputo opened up about her overall goal as a psychic medium.

“One of the things that I want people to know [is] to believe in an afterlife. To believe that you still have that connection with your own departed loved ones,” she said. “What I learned is that unfortunately, no matter who we lose or how we die, we’re left with some negative emotions.”

She continued, “Maybe sometimes even a burden or a guilt that doesn’t give us the ability to heal. So the work that I do is about healing. It’s about Spirit giving us what we need, not what we want.” 

Who knew we’d get this emotional on a Monday morning?
