Life After Life: Signs Your Loved Ones Are Trying to Reach You
Signs Your Loved Ones Are Trying to Reach You
As a naturally born psychic medium, I have spent my life seeking proof of the afterlife through spirit communication. Raised in a family of mediums, we lived with Spirit and by Spirit, naturally including our deceased loved ones in daily life. Souls from beyond can send you signs in many ways if you know what to look for. Let's explore how you can seek your own proof that your loved ones are sending signs from beyond.
In my mediumship practice, I often guide clients through the grieving process. As difficult as it may seem, try to be grateful for the grief. Embrace and cherish it. Lean into it. Grieving proves our loved ones left something so wonderful behind that we miss them deeply. Secondly, look for signs from Spirit—this will be essential to your healing!
As we become more aware of afterlife signs, we might start looking for them everywhere. And while, sometimes you may trust a sign that isn't truly from Spirit, that's okay. Give yourself permission to accept any sign that brings you comfort. Whether it's true Spirit communication or not, it can still bring you peace. More often than not, though, when you're longing for a trace of Spirit, the signs will be real. Your loved ones will feel joy when they present something meaningful and see you recognize it.
I've found the pre-sleep, dream, and wakeful states are when we're most aware of the afterlife. In these moments, our minds are quiet, making it easier to receive spirit messages without usual daily distractions. This is when our loved ones can give us profound, impactful experiences and messages.
When my mother passed in 2015, no simple message or a random scent of her perfume was enough to comfort me. I needed solid proof and was only willing to trust what I could clearly see. While this isn't for everyone—seeing an apparition can be quite scary—I welcomed it. One night, I was jolted awake by a loud noise and saw a bright, dark pink apparition at the foot of my bed. I immediately recognized it as my mother's energy! She was holding a small statue of Saint Joseph—the very one I had recently given her brother as a keepsake from her belongings. I spoke to her for what seemed like a long time, but was likely just seconds. Then she disappeared. This form of spirit communication brought me the peace I needed and undeniable proof our energy lives on!
Spirit communication can take many forms. While physical apparitions like my mother's are rare, signs can appear around meaningful events—death anniversaries, birthdays, or special occasions. Loved ones in spirit often reach out during times of need, when we seek guidance, feel hopeless, or when we are grounded and present in solitude.
When embarking on a journey to recognize signs from the afterlife, trust and learn the unique signs your loved ones are sending. Sometimes, it may be a repetitive symbol or message, but it's still proof that your loved ones are trying to communicate. For example, I've asked my mother to show me hummingbirds because she loved birdwatching and had a hummingbird feeder for as long as I can remember. Hummingbirds, being more elusive than common birds, serve as a clear, evidential sign.
In late 2022, during a particularly difficult day, I asked my mother for a sign. Within an hour, one of my regular clients called and said, “I was sitting outside, and a hummingbird kept dive-bombing my head. It happened several times, and then I felt the urge to call you!” That was the sign I had asked for—my mother had come through again from her place in the afterlife.
As you begin to recognize signs from the spirit realm, approach them with healthy skepticism to help you grow and gain awareness. A familiar scent, like Grandma's cookies or Grandpa's cigars, a nature sign like a hummingbird, or even a coin found in an unusual place can all be comforting and meaningful. Embrace these signs as gifts from the afterlife.
Connecting with a trusted psychic medium can be life-altering. Even a simple apology from a deceased loved one during a reading can bring complete healing. Psychic mediums use the “Clair Senses” to connect through spirit communication and validation. Whether through mediumship or your own afterlife signs, these connections can guide you through grief. Our loved ones in Spirit want to offer comfort, support, and love in our earthly journeys, and they'll be there when we cross over into Spirit ourselves.
Who do you hope will send you your next sign from the afterlife?
