Do Mediums Still Grieve When a Loved One Passes to the Spirit World?

One of the most common questions I'm asked is: "As a medium, do you still grieve when someone you love passes away?" The short answer is yes – absolutely, yes.

The Gift Doesn't Erase the Loss

Being able to communicate with the spirit world is a profound gift, which i absolutely love, but it doesn't make me immune to the very human experience of grief. When someone I love transitions to the spirit world, I still feel the physical absence. I miss their laugh, their hugs, the sound of their voice in this realm. I miss making new memories with them in the physical world.

Grief is About Love

Grief, at its core, is a reflection of love. It's the price we pay for loving deeply. As a medium, I know with absolute certainty that our loved ones continue on, that their consciousness survives, and that the bonds of love are never broken. But knowing this doesn't eliminate the sadness of not being able to share life with them, celebrate birthdays together, or simply sit in their physical presence. I still miss them just as much as I would if i wasn't medium.

A Different Perspective on Loss

What being a medium does offer me is a different perspective on loss. While the grief is real, there's also comfort in knowing:

• Our loved ones are at peace and free from pain
• They're still aware of us and watching over us
• The separation is temporary, not permanent, they will always be with us
• Love truly does transcend death
• We can still connect with them, just in a different way

Honouring Both Realities

I've learned to hold both truths simultaneously: I can grieve the physical loss while celebrating their spiritual continuation. I can cry because I miss them while also smiling at the signs and messages they send. This isn't contradictory – it's the beautiful complexity of being human and spiritual at the same time.

The Healing Journey

My connection to the spirit world doesn't fast-track my grief process. I still need time to adjust, to feel my feelings, and to find my new normal. What it does provide is reassurance during the darkest moments. When grief feels overwhelming, I can reach out and feel their presence, receive their love, and know that they're okay. But the process of healing is very much the same as anyone else.

A Message of Hope

If you're grieving right now, please know that your feelings are valid – all of them. Whether you believe in the afterlife or not, whether you've received signs from your loved one or not, your grief deserves to be honoured. And if you're wondering whether your loved one is okay, I can tell you from experience: they are. They're at peace, they're surrounded by love, and they're still connected to you.

Death ends a life, not a relationship. The love continues, the bond remains, and one day, you will be together again.

Sending Lots Of love & light,
