They Are Always With Us

When connecting to loved ones in the Spirit World, one of the first things that I get is generally how that person passed into Spirit. They need a way to affirm for the sitter that it is them they are communicating with. There are times when I will feel an actual pain in my chest which indicates heart attack, or I will feel a shortness of breath that will indicate to me that there was something wrong with the person’s lungs before they passed, lung cancer, covid or pneumonia. I also have experiences such as hoarseness in my throat which very often shows me that the person was a smoker or that there could have been throat cancer before passing. Should the person have been in a coma, I will likely feel like I’m struggling to communicate with them. I must say that this often used to throw me off, as I would start doubting myself and think I wasn’t picking anything up.

There is so much that our loved ones use as confirmation that they are coming through to chat to you. They show me things that they liked, or bring my attention to things that they had that they want to specifically be given to someone left behind. They will show me what they looked like, and sometimes this too can throw me off as they often come through showing themselves how they looked when they were at their best, rather than what they looked like before they passed.

Sitters often have so many questions to ask and our loved ones try so hard to bring through the answers that they need. I have had occasion when a specific document is being looked for or a specific object is being looked for. And it’s not always possible to get those answers, sometimes the person is spirit just doesn’t know!

I have taken the following excerpt from Rita Rogers book, From One World to Another, as I thought it backs up a lot of what I have experienced in the many years that I have done readings. I hope you enjoy it…

‘Just because a person whom we have known and loved in this life has passed over into the spirit world does not mean that the bond between us dies as well. Often it becomes stronger and more intense, for we tend to cherish the relationship we have known, holding and clinging onto it through our memories and recollections. All I have left of that person is my memories, is a refrain I often hear when I am reading. When we lose a loved one it is usual for us to reconstruct the past. Hours can be spent looking through photograph albums, their former possessions, talking to friends and family about them, what they said, what they did, how they were special to us. That person’s past becomes very important, and we become fearful of losing any of it, of forgetting.

But we should not just look at the past when we are thinking about that person. They are still very much with us. The relationship, the bond between us, carries on well past the grave. Relationships may manifest themselves in this life in physical terms, but their essence is the spiritual and emotional bond between two individuals. Many people suffering from grief long for their loved one to be back with them, asking why they left, saying If only you were here now, if only for this moment… But the spirits are always with us, still caring and loving just as much as they did when they were alive. The only difference is that we cannot see, hear or touch them. There are so many things that are beyond the reach of our five bodily sense, we just have to trust that they are there.

Some people who have been bereaved experience moments when they feel again the presence of the person who has passed away. For many it is just simply a gut feeling; a normal, everyday experience may be interrupted for a second or two by the notion that they are not alone. For no apparent reason they are made aware of the person they have lost, even though their mind is quite elsewhere, and there has been nothing in what they were doing at that moment to trigger a reminder or recollection. It is a warm feeling of love and happiness, quite different from anything else they may have experienced during the grieving process. And just as suddenly as it came, it goes again. In situations like this I believe the spirit is letting you know that they are with you and caring for you as you go about your life. They want you to know that you are not alone.’
