Key Takeaways

1. Spirits Communicate in Diverse Ways

Spirits communicate in various ways. Some ways are easily dismissed by most, others are not so easy to dismiss.

Subtle signs. Spirits often attempt to communicate through subtle signs that are easily overlooked or dismissed. These can include flashes of light, shadowy figures, or a sudden feeling of breathlessness. Recognizing these signs requires attentiveness and an open mind.

Dreams and inner voice. Dreams can be a powerful medium for communication with deceased loved ones, offering comfort and reassurance. The inner voice, often dismissed as intuition, can also be a conduit for messages from the other side. Learning to interpret these messages requires understanding the language of spirits.

Emotional energy. Spirits are emotionally based energy, not intellectually based. They communicate through feelings, images, and impressions rather than code words or intellectual puzzles. Paying attention to these emotional cues is essential for interpreting their messages.

2. Loss of a Soulmate is a Profound Grief

When somebody like Janeta crosses my path, I’m so grateful to be able to sit with them and try to walk them through the darkest days of their lives, so they can come back into the light of the living.

Unimaginable pain. Losing a soulmate, especially when pregnant, is an experience of profound grief and unimaginable pain. The surviving partner faces the daunting task of raising a child alone while grappling with the loss of their life partner.

Finding hope. Connecting with the deceased can provide solace and hope during the darkest days of grief. Knowing that their loved one's soul or spirit continues to exist can offer comfort and reassurance that they will meet again.

Continuing presence. Even after death, the deceased can remain a very real part of the lives of their loved ones. They may offer comfort, guidance, and even participate in everyday moments, such as kissing their child goodnight or "tucking in" their partner.

3. Terminal Illness Offers a Different Perspective on Loss

What I can tell you is that November will be his sickest month thus far.

Knowing ahead of time. While losing someone suddenly is devastating, knowing about a terminal diagnosis ahead of time offers a different perspective on loss. It allows for preparation, closure, and the opportunity to say goodbye.

Pivotal moments. Even with a terminal diagnosis, the exact timing of death remains uncertain. However, mediums can sometimes provide insights into pivotal moments or timeframes that may be significant in the dying person's journey.

Finding peace. Meeting with a medium can help the dying find peace and acceptance in the face of death. It can alleviate their fears, reassure them about the afterlife, and allow them to say goodbye to their loved ones.

4. Children are Especially Vulnerable to Grief

This reading hit me like a cement slab to the face. Gail’s daughter was twelve years old when she disappeared; my daughter is also twelve years old.

Unique pain. The loss of a child is an excruciatingly painful experience that leaves parents feeling emotionally devastated. The trauma can be particularly acute when the child is a victim of violence or abduction.

Seeking justice. Parents who lose a child often feel a strong need for justice and accountability. They may become actively involved in the investigation, seeking answers and closure.

Continuing connection. Even after death, the bond between parents and children remains unbroken. Parents may find comfort in connecting with their deceased child through mediums, dreams, or other spiritual experiences.

5. Signs from the Deceased Can Be Subtle Yet Powerful

It’s important to keep in mind that it’s not about what we want our loved ones on the other side to say or who we want brought through—it’s on their terms because they’re running the show.

Personalized messages. Signs from the deceased are often personalized and specific to their relationship with the living. They may involve numbers, songs, objects, or other symbols that hold special meaning.

Inner voice. Learning to pay attention to the inner voice is essential for recognizing signs from loved ones on the other side. This requires quieting the mind and trusting intuition.

Emotional connection. Messages from the deceased are often motivated by their feelings for the living, not always the other way around. Even family members who were not close in life may attempt to connect after death.

6. Mediumship is Influenced by Personality and Environment

She has a very good sense of who she is. This strength of personality allows her to use her ability and not let her ability use her.

Unique perspective. A medium's personality and life experiences can significantly influence their abilities and the way they interpret messages from the other side. Compassion, empathy, and a strong sense of self are essential qualities.

Environmental factors. The environment in which a medium operates can also affect their abilities. A calm, peaceful setting can enhance their connection to the spirit world, while distractions and negativity can hinder it.

Personal boundaries. It is crucial for mediums to establish and maintain personal boundaries to protect themselves from the emotional toll of their work. This involves setting limits on the number of readings they conduct and taking time for self-care.

7. The Past Can Influence the Present

I knew it was my son, and he was happy, and he had a lot to say.

Unresolved issues. The past can have a powerful influence on the present, particularly when it comes to unresolved issues or traumatic events. Connecting with the deceased can help to bring these issues to light and facilitate healing.

Family dynamics. Family dynamics and relationships can also play a significant role in shaping the messages that come through from the other side. The deceased may offer insights into family patterns, conflicts, or unresolved emotions.

Finding closure. By addressing the past and resolving lingering issues, the living can find closure and move forward with their lives. This can involve forgiveness, acceptance, or simply gaining a better understanding of the past.

8. Bad Acts Leave Lingering Scars

I have to believe justice will be served one way or another for the innocent.

Unspeakable acts. Murder is an unspeakable act that leaves lasting scars on the victims, their families, and the community. The pain and grief can be overwhelming and difficult to process.

Seeking justice. The desire for justice is a natural response to murder. Families may seek legal recourse, but they may also find solace in knowing that the perpetrator will face consequences in the afterlife.

Remembering the victims. It is important to remember the victims of murder and honor their lives. By sharing their stories, we can ensure that they are not forgotten and that their deaths serve as a reminder of the value of human life.

9. Living Life Requires Balancing Trauma and Joy

This book may be the real answer to who Allison really is. The words that follow are written by Allison, not by a ghost writer.

Emotional toll. Dealing with death and trauma on a regular basis can take a significant emotional toll. It is essential to find healthy ways to process these experiences and maintain a sense of balance.

Finding joy. Even in the face of tragedy, it is possible to find moments of joy and connection. Cherishing relationships, pursuing passions, and engaging in activities that bring pleasure can help to offset the darkness.

Living fully. The key to living a fulfilling life is to embrace both the light and the dark, the joy and the sorrow. By acknowledging the pain and celebrating the beauty, we can create a life that is both meaningful and resilient.

10. Death is a Part of Life

I would say that before he met Allison, Jim was scared and uneasy about death, he had only dealt with life every day at work delivering all of those babies for as long as he could remember.

Acceptance. Death is an inevitable part of life, and accepting this reality can help to alleviate fear and anxiety. By confronting our mortality, we can learn to appreciate the present moment and live more fully.

Changing forms. Death is not an end but a transformation. The physical body may cease to exist, but the spirit or soul continues on in another form.

Continuing connection. Even after death, loved ones remain connected to us through memories, emotions, and spiritual experiences. They may offer comfort, guidance, and support from the other side.
