Think about what they would advise you if you were going through a rough time.

If you are going through a hard time, it may be times like this when you are thinking about a loved one who is no longer with you. A great way to connect with a deceased loved one and navigate these hard times is to take a moment to ground yourself and think about them and what type of advice they would give you.

It may seem weird at first to imagine talking with your lost loved one, but it can be extremely helpful, in particular, if you have been getting help with major decisions from that person. This is not to say that you should not trust your own instincts, but if you are stuck and need some guidance and you could speak with your loved one, then imagining how a conversation would go with them is going to help you.

Not only that, but it is a great way to connect with your deceased loved one, as you both keep their memory alive but also use their memory and image to help you through your issues, thus honoring their legacy.

    Your article was so spot on. I found everything you mentioned to be so comforting in dealing with my husband’s death. We met when I was only fourteen and married after college. The grief was so overwhelming I just wanted to die myself. But what helped me the most was I kept his urn at home. It made all the difference in helping me move forward. I asked him on his death bed if I could cremate him and take him with me wherever I go. He could not see or talk but he squeezed my hand in approval. I was inconsolable for so long and today I feel so thankful that we had all those years together. Grief is a journey to gratitude. I feel totally connected to my husband still and thoughts of him make me smile now! You never really lose a loved one, they are still with you always!!

    Yes I have and I have been Validated by my Spiritual Advisor. I’ve heard from my Daughter on numerous occasions. My Spiritualist saved my life along with Spirit, Father God and Mother God Azna. It will be 13 aching years this April that my Sami crossed over . She connects with me with Yellow Butterflies and Yellow Flowers. 💛

      I lost my mom dec 2017 and have dreamed nearly every night since about her. I want my mom so badly I feel like I can’t go on sometimes. I am seriously disabled so lived with her a good part of my life. She was with me when both my kids were born, she helped raise them. I told her everything. I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her and completely lost it when I did. Not a single day goes by I don’t think about wanting her here. I wish I knew of a way to handle this too.
