I received an phone call today from a woman who received a reading from me yesterday. I don’t normally take phone calls, but I was the only one available, and able to do so. “I just wanted to thank you and tell you that you may very well have saved my life!”
She told me that after her husband’s death she began smoking and drinking. Both were her way of dealing with the incredible pain that the death of a loved one brings. One of the things she wanted to know was how she could hear her husband now that’s he’s gone. “Open your heart,” he told her. Then he proceeded to let her know all of the ways he was trying to let her know that his love for her hasn’t died.
“I was really spiraling,” she told me. “Yesterday, I felt as though a HUGE weight had been lifted off of my chest.”
I was really moved by the call to be honest with you. Sometimes I forget about the importance of the work I do. I’m not the one who is the expert on grief, I reminded her, she is. As are all those who have lost a loved one(s).
I also told her that she, and all the people who bravely get out of bed every day and go through each day in their grief until they go to bed, only to do it again the next day, are inspirations to me. It takes a lot of work to get through the day when you lose someone you love.
She wanted to know why I was able to hear her husband and she can’t. I told her we all have the ability, I’m nothing special. But just as everyone can learn how to play the piano, some people can play piano better than others.
Your loved ones are constantly trying to communicate with you, to give you hope as you journey through grief. If you’re unable to hear them, then they guide you to me, or another medium. We’re their last resort.
Speak to your loved ones the same way you always did. Open your heart, and you’ll have the ears to hear their messages. If you’re still having trouble, God chose people like me to let you know that death doesn’t end life, love or relationships.
I feel your peace.
