answer

As a Medium, I know that there are many different reasons why people will seek to have a reading. I also know that for whatever those reasons might be, the person sitting in front of a Medium is ultimately looking for one thing: proof. Proof that their loved ones, friends and relatives are still with them even though they are no longer here in the physical world. For most people, a reading fulfills that ever-longing need to know that we are never really alone on this journey called “life” and that the survival of consciousness continues long after the physical body has gone. The thought that this life, once over, may or may not be the end of our existence brings along with it a very strong sense of loneliness. We as humans have been battling this question for centuries and to this very day are constantly asking ourselves “is this it?” So, when someone sits in front of me looking to connect with their loved ones, I know deep down that there is more to that reading than just the connection to family and friends. It is also for their own peace of mind that there is more to this Universe than just what they have experience in this world.

Even though a Medium’s job is to “hopefully” make a link with a sitter’s family and friends who have passed, it is not however and should never be what the Medium is striving for. The goal for any Medium is to help people from this world understand that with the proper guidance and trust in themselves, they can make their own connections with their loved ones who have passed. Unfortunately, most people need proof that this kind of connection can actually take place (i.e., the need for a reading), before they can even entertain the idea that they themselves could actually make their own link with loved ones who have passed.

Of course, I am also aware that even though a connection may take place in a reading and the sitter may be fully onboard regarding the connection itself and the actual subject matter, it does not automatically imply that they will now believe that they themselves are capable of making their own connections. So, how do we change that? Let’s start by addressing one of the most commonly miss-understood aspects of making a connection with a passed loved one, “The Signs.”

Question – I lost my husband of 35 years last October.  Things have been very difficult since he passed way.  I am angry, sad, and scared all at the same time.  My family and friends tell me that I should be over his death, moving on in life.  They want me to start dating, going on trips, and acting like I never lost my husband.  How can I get over his death and move on?

Answer –

All I ever hear in the media is how our economy is terrible, the youth of our society is troubled, and the values of the country are changing for the worst.  It stresses me out because I feel that I am trying to do the best that I can.  What can I do to best contribute to the world around me?
