✨️Hello from the Other Side✨️
What is it that people actually seek from a reading?
When all is said and done, it's the opportunity to have one more conversation with our loved ones in Spirit. One more "hello" from the Other Side - for whatever reason that might be. An answer, resolution, peace, connection...
When the weight of our loved one's absence grows heavy, it can feel as though their absence weighs greater than their presence. Physical reminders carry lasting impressions but human memory can be fickle. We begin to question what they sounded like, what they looked like - little mannerisms and gestures and foibles that we had forgotten.
Here's the thing: our loved ones aren't aware of this weight - not as something tangible. Because time doesn't exist for them and therefore there is no bearing of how much time it has been since they crossed over. Although aware of our grief - and understanding of the comfort that their presence brings when they come forward during a reading - our loved ones appear to us often as they did when they were in their prime or even further back in their past. Sometimes they appear the same as at their time of passing, if this brings resonance and peace.
The irony lies in this simplicity: for them it is like no time at all. Then for us, when a loved one comes through in a reading, their energy is unmistakable and their presence awakens for us all of those memories, reminding us of all of those mannerisms and gestures and foibles that we had not forgotten - not truly.
Life is so very complex and so very precious. Some things happen in this world - to us and around us - that we just can't make sense of. And maybe we're not supposed to. But the connections with our loved ones and with our fellow souls on this planet? Those are connections to be nurtured and cherished.
So I completely understand why people seek out that "hello". As long as, when we put the telephone down, we realise that we didn't just place a long distance call for the final time. Our loved ones pop in and out of our lives quite frequently and they also help to send us healing when we need it. Be mindful of the signs - acknowledge them. Thank them out loud.
And know that they are always around us 🤍
