Connecting with Spirit Blog

The death of a loved one may be the hardest experience you’ll ever face. If you’re new to the grief that comes along with living after a loss, it can be very challenging to navigate the unexpected feelings and emotions that come in waves.

It can also feel very lonely when you’re grieving, and others around you who haven’t experienced a loss like yours may not understand. You may also get a blank stare or silence from others when you express your grief, making it...

When a loved one dies, the grief can seem unbearable and unpredictable. Elisabeth Kubler Ross identified five stages of grief: denial (shock), anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Everyone has their own experience with grief, and it is not uncommon to fluctuate back and forth between these stages or experience them all in the same day.

One of the grief support tools that I teach my clients is working with crystals or stones. Crystals are naturally formed in and mined...

As an evidential medium and spiritual teacher, I teach my students to help them transform grief and connect with their loved ones in Spirit. Intuition is the language of the soul, and it’s also how we can communicate with the Other Side.

Crystals are a tool that I use personally and professionally in my classes to enhance intuition. Crystals are naturally formed in and mined from the Earth and come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. They also offer spiritual and healing...

A medium is someone who can communicate with the spirit world. There are several ways in which a medium can serve. This article will explore what mediums do and how they can support you on your journey with grief. 

The “evidential” part of the phrase means that the medium utilizes intuitive senses to connect and with the spirit world, and bring forth information from the transitioned loved one that there's no way the medium would have known.  During an evidential...

I'm sharing a practice that I have found to be helpful for me on my journey with grief. When my daughter died, I wanted some way of writing down my feelings for her and capturing memories that we shared together. I was very intentional about picking out a journal, and I chose an Italian leather journal that was actually made in Italy because my daughter, Keira, loved foreign languages and foreign countries, so this had a lot of meaning to me.

I use this journal to write down our...

The Healing Power of Mediumship

If you've experienced the death of a loved one, it is natural to want to know that they are ok and that you're still connected to them.  When my daughter died unexpectedly, nothing was more important to me than maintaining a connection with her.

My personal journey led me to understanding how healing mediumship really is, and that it is something sacred rather than something to be scared of.  I offer evidential mediumship readings to...

Dream Visits From the Other Side

Are my loved ones on the other side visiting me in dreams?

I’m often asked if dreams of our loved ones on the other side are visits from them. Some of our dreams are visits from loved ones, and some are not. Here’s how to tell the difference.

When a loved one visits through a dream

When a loved one from the other side is visiting you through a dream, the dream will feel vivid and real. It will also seem like you are really with your...

How long does grief take?

The journey with grief is not the same for everyone, and there is no measurement of time for how you experience it because your physical loss is something that you carry the rest of your life to some degree. 

If you’re grieving the death of a loved one, you may find that others gauge how long they think it should take for the grieving process. Society thinks of loss as something you have to “move on” from or “get over.” They expect...

“Mediumship” is becoming more commonly used and accepted, yet many people still don’t know what it means. In this post, I’ll share some insights about mediumship, starting with what a medium is.

What is a Medium?

A “medium” is someone who can communicate with the spirit world. Some mediums specialize in communicating with the spirits of those who have transitioned to the spirit plane (died), and can share messages with their living loved ones. Some mediums...

If you’re grieving the death of a loved one, the holiday season will most likely have a different feeling around it than it used to. You may find it challenging to face the holidays without your loved one physically with you.

I hope this article will give you a greater sense of peace and love this holiday season.

This topic is very personal to me. I remember the first Thanksgiving after my only child died unexpectedly, followed by the unexpected death of my mother just three weeks...

The Call and Initiation
 
Sometimes in life, you may feel an inner call or a nudge that isn't entirely clear, but you sense it's potent. A traumatic event or significant loss can initiate that call, giving rise to deep, soul-searching questions that inspire a beckoning into your soul path and purpose.
 
This soul growth is rarely easy, and certain periods initiate more significant cycles of growth than others. Your soul knows what you came here to learn, create, experience, and...

I'm deep in the midst of writing my new book, a guide to help people connect with their loved ones on the Other Side, and I'm filled with so much joy and gratitude that I can't wait to share it. I envision all the readers that will find comfort, healing, and connection through the teachings and practices inside.

I’m compelled to publish some articles around the core elements of the book, beginning with this one. I hope you find some inspiration and encouragement in reading it.

Being in a position where you have to make life-or-death decisions for a loved one, whether for a person or a pet, can be the most heart-wrenching decision you ever have to make.
 
I’ve experienced this twice in my life. The first experience involved my mom, and the second involved my beloved pet cat. If you’ve ever faced this, or potentially could someday, I hope you’ll find comfort in what I share about my experiences.
