Do they see who I've become?

Hi {{ first_name }},

A while back, I had a session with a client who was having to decide what to do with her parents' home. It was the house she grew up in, still full of their furniture and belongings, with her mother's garden out back.

She was wrestling with a question that wouldn't let her go: should she move in herself? It would mean honoring their love for her as their daughter. It would also mean reshaping her life around a house that no longer quite fit who she had become.

Her parents came through with no hesitation. Do what you need to do. Take the proceeds and find a home that calls you.

By the time the message arrived, her parents had already come through with details only she would know - a phrase her father used to say, a habit of her mother's that made her smile. There was no question who she was hearing from. The only question was whether to follow what they were saying.

It wasn't what part of her wanted to hear. But it was so clearly them; and clearly directed at the woman she is now, not the daughter she once was. The end result? She left our session lighter than when she joined the call.

This is one of the quieter gifts of a mediumship session, and it's the one I want to share today.

The dead see who we've become.

"When someone dies, the relationship doesn't die with them." — David Kessler, Finding Meaning

They watched the years pass. They watched you survive the early loss, learn to live in a world that no longer included them, become someone they never knew in human form. They witnessed the milestones they didn't get to attend - the grandchild, the career change, the courage you found when you thought there was none left. And they often come through with specific evidence of having witnessed these things.

This kind of message tends to land particularly deeply for those who are a few years out from the loss, when the rawness has eased, and a quieter question has taken its place: Are they still here? Have they seen who I've become?

The answer, again and again, is yes.

You don't have to figure out who you are without them. You can come into a session and hear from them directly, what they've seen, what they think of who you've grown into, and what they want for the chapters that are still ahead of you.

If that's something your heart is reaching toward, I'd be honored to sit with you.

P.S. I'm just about finished with the mindfulness and grief coach certification program that I started in March, and I look forward to sharing new offerings in the next few months that combine mindfulness, grief and mediumship. Let me know if you're interested!
