Should I Continue Talking to a Loved One as if They Were Still Around Rather Than Having Passed Away?

I am often asked this question, and I always emphasise the importance of maintaining dialogue and communication as we ordinarily do, as if our loved ones were still present with us in person. This practice, while it may come naturally to some, can be a source of comfort and connection. Others may struggle with the feeling that they are speaking into empty space. Inner doubts, fear, and uncertainty can further complicate or even prevent the process. An analytical mind may also interfere in a nonconstructive way, spoiling what could otherwise be a comforting and even blissful experience.

I once had a client who told me she often heard her deceased son call her name. When I asked what she did about it, she explained that she ignored it because she assumed it was only her imagination. I encouraged her not to analyse the experience but instead to acknowledge the call from her son. I reminded her that she had far more to gain than to lose by doing so. In time, she understood, and she promised to stop overanalysing and to allow herself to embrace the moment.

The mind is a sophisticated and complex tool, one that we are still learning to understand. There is so much to discover, and we gain new insights every day. One of the most important lessons I have learned is to ensure that I do not let my mind interfere unless I consciously choose to allow it to do so. I no longer analyse these experiences, because I have accepted that most matters related to the paranormal are inexplicable. Instead, I have adopted a pragmatic mindset, and I make a point of containing my thoughts, especially the logical and sceptical ones that might dismiss or diminish what I encounter. This is because such thoughts can often lead to overanalysis and doubt, which can hinder the potential for a spiritual connection.

Now, I follow my heart and my feelings. I welcome every otherworldly experience with an open mind, giving whatever comes through a fair chance.
