Talking to Dead People

Connecting with Those Who Have Passed “I talk to dead people”, was classic line from the movie “The Sixth Sense”. I remember watching the movie, engaged and riveted by the subject matter as it is so close to what I myself do. Since then there have been a number of different people like John Edward (an international psychic medium) who have made the whole process of communicating and connecting with people that have passed away more accessible to the public.

Why we want to make contact…

So, what is it that compels us to try to communicate with the dead? For me, when I experienced the death of someone close to me, it was driven from a feeling of loss and the need to make sure that in some way, somehow, that person was still there.  It’s a horrible feeling when a life, so close and so dear just disappears, just vanishes. With a cold lifeless body before us we sense and know that this person is no longer there. Their body housed them but it feels as if their spirit has gone. That then raises the important question of: “gone where?” We ask: “Where are they now? Can they see me, feel me and hear me?” We seek out mediums and spiritualists to find some kind of link, to know that the person we loved still, in some way, shape or form exists.

Wanting specific information…

As a medium it is my job to try to help clients sense that continued existence. It’s not an easy job to do as often high expectations on the part of the client make it difficult to be able to deliver. I understand people’s scepticism as they want me to convey something very specific to prove that it is truly their loved one coming through. To say “I feel a Granddad with the name John” is fairly generic and could just be good guessing. What people want, understandably, is some kind of hard proof, something so unique that it is impossible for me to just guess.

During a reading I did a few years ago I came through with that kind of detail for client, Ann-Marie. (She is actually featured on the front page of my website.) She told me that someone close to her had died and that she wanted me to connect and see what came through. I felt a strong presence and it seemed like a father. She confirmed that her father had recently died. After the initial message of love and assurance Ann-Marie pushed a little and said she was looking for something more, something more specific.
