"A Message From Beyond: Where My Grief Lies"
A Message From Beyond: Where My Grief Lies
Six months after my brother passed, his spirit
came to visit me with crucial information. I imagine he'd just experienced his
life review and then navigated a period of readjustment, gaining new
perspectives.
When he arrived with his message, he was
incredibly supportive of my work. "I saw what you wanted for me," he
said. "I have to be honest, I don't think I wanted those same things for
you."
"I never expected you to!" I
replied. "How could you want for me what you had no idea I was gradually
guiding you towards?" This realization has become the most painful part of
my grief journey, and it often highlights a profound disconnect I experience
with many of my clients, and even friends. Most of the time, I can see far
more than I can articulate. I'm limited to focusing on what they can
process and accept in their current reality. The truth is, I know so much more,
but to offer it prematurely could scare them or derail their path. I even see why
they are acting out and projecting, a weight of understanding that's often
difficult to carry. This extends even to those with good intentions, who, by
misunderstanding my process and the depth of my gifts, inadvertently
deny me the space to feel my feelings and advocate for my own pain.
This is often the hardest part of my work.
People seek my help with a specific, current issue, assuming that's the full
extent of my capabilities. They even expect me to use my psychic skills to
prove myself, a demand far beyond what they would ask of a traditional
therapist. Again, I often stand by, silent, hoping they'll follow the subtle
nudges I offer – nudges I sometimes feel they ignore. Just as my brother
ignored my suggestions. He could only see what was directly in front of him,
having no clue where I truly wanted to take him. Not until it was too late.
This journey is not for the faint of heart. We
may be sensitive, but we must also be incredibly strong.
