It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 11 years since Australia’s number one wildlife hero, Steve Irwin, tragically lost his life.
And the nation’s loss hasn’t become any easier for his widowed wife Terri Irwin, as she continues to look for ways to feel close to her late husband, who she says will always be the love of her life.
Woman’s Day can reveal the mum-of-two – who continues Steve’s legacy by managing their family-run zoo on the Sunshine Coast – invited close family friend and renowned psychic medium John Edward to her home last week in a bid to contact Steve.
“John was only in Australia for 10 days to promote his upcoming tour, but during that time he made sure he flew up to Queensland to visit Terri,” says our source.
“John has been a friend of the Irwins for some time.”
TV psychic John Edward has been contacting the other side since he was a teen.
This isn’t the first time John – who was also close to the Crocodile Hunter before his death in 2006 – has helped Terri come to terms with Steve’s passing.
In 2008, just two years after Steve tragically lost his life after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb, Terri and Steve’s dad Bob had a private session with the psychic – and John said the pair were comforted by the outcome.
“There’s no doubt that Steve was with us,” John said following their session.
“It’s not black and white, it’s grey, but there’s a definite Steve energy that is unmistakable.”
Terri says Steve’s the only man she’ll ever love.
A year later, Terri admitted she can “feel” and “sense” Steve around her, and revealed her Christian upbringing means she has “great faith that once a person dies their spirit is still around.”
“I know [Steve’s] gone but in some way he’s still here. I feel him, I sense him,” she said.
“And I think that’s very nice and comforting.”
