Grieving Through Another Year
The beginning of each new year is especially difficult for those grieving. Another year begins again with the heartache of knowing you will no longer enjoy the physical presence of your loved one at your dinner table, no longer hear their laughter at family celebrations, or receive their wise advice over the phone. Grieving is unique for every person. Don’t rush it. Embrace the process. With the beginning of a new year, expect fears to bubble up. Fear the memories of your loved one are starting to fade and will also be lost forever. At the same time your inner yearning for their physical presence appears to magnify. A mediumship reading can support you along your grieving journey. A personal reading can bring the glimmer of hope, a ray of sunshine into your darkest days. Communicating with your loved one in spirit will confirm they are happy and healthy and reunited with other family members in spirit on the other side. Their consciousness has survived physical death. Their soul and yours is eternal. Your bond of love can never be severed. It always connects you in the physical world with your loved one in the spirit world. As a medium, my intention is to act as a conduit or bridge between the two worlds. My mediumship readings encourage a sacred soul activation which unfolds as an energetic love line between you and your loved one in spirit. Here are some practical ways you can strengthen and nurture your love line or connection to your loved one in spirit.
Celebrate the life your loved one lived. Create a tribute photobook, or presentation to share their life story with others.
Reflect on the lessons your loved one taught you. Journal how these lessons influenced your life choices and the ancestral family tree. Create a book of wise advice you received to share at special occasions and to eventually pass down to family members.
Look for signs from your loved one and thank them out loud for letting you know they are around you. Signs may include flashing lights, birds, their favorite song playing on the radio at the exact same time you are thinking about them, license plate with their initials or name, objects - feathers, coins, buttons.
Create a special place in your home to display your loved ones photos and other mementos. Spend quiet time in this space to connect with your loved one. You can talk to them, look at family photos, write them a letter, read their favorite book.
Be aware of inspirational ideas your loved one is sending you. Perhaps you feel an urge to go to their favorite restaurant for lunch, go golfing at their regular golf course, buy NHL hockey tickets to watch their team play, bake their favorite food, shop at their favorite department store.
Plant a tree or donate a bench to a local park with an engraved name plate in their honor.
Donate to their favorite charity/organization.
Create a memory box with items you inherited from your loved one. Ask family members to share their memories around these special items.
