How To Experience The Beauty Of Mediumship After Loss

What is the beauty of mediumship? It can help us to gain a new perspective on the loss of a Loved One, create a new understanding around a life situation, and give us hope when we need a motivator to carry on positively with our lives.

What is Mediumship?

The dictionary defines mediumship as:

“The skill or practice of being a spiritual medium.”
— Oxford Online Dictionary

I like to define it differently, more simply, and with heart:

Mediumship is any mystical experience related to a lost Loved One that helps and supports us on our journey.
— Sarah Lawrence

Experiencing the Beauty of Mediumship

As grieving individuals, we can experience the beauty of mediumship through:

• Releasing deep or long-held emotions around loss
• Gaining a new perspective on our interactions with a Loved One
• Remembering joyful moments shared in this lifetime
• Letting go of guilt surrounding the person who has passed
• Understanding the life lessons between us
• Feeling comfort through heartfelt sensations
• Contemplating the eternal nature of the Soul—if that brings peace.

You Don’t Have to Be a Medium

You don’t have to be a medium to experience the beauty of mediumship.

Many of us have meaningful connections with Loved Ones who have passed by, experiencing dreams, memories, synchronicities, or even quiet moments of presence.

So, how can we find comfort in the deep pain of loss?

• Write a letter or journal entry to your Loved One. It’s a healthy, energetic exchange between your heart and theirs.
• Look at old photos, or visit a grave site or memorial to express your feelings.
• Share stories about them with friends and family. Speaking their name helps keep their love active in our lives.
• Pray, meditate, or imagine a loving conversation with them. These acts help your energy integrate and process grief.

The West Lacks Effective Support for Grief

We all experience emotions about Loved Ones who have passed—whether human or animal.

Grief often consumes our attention in the first few years after loss, and that’s perfectly normal. Yet in Western culture, few of us are taught how to truly work through grief.

Some people grieve deeply and immediately, feeling everything at once and allowing healing to unfold naturally.

Others hold back and find release later through new experiences or life changes. Both paths can be valid.

If the passing was sudden or traumatic, the brain may slow down or pause the grieving process as a form of protection. Eventually, though, those emotions will surface, ready to be felt and released.

Why Compartmentalizing Doesn’t Heal Grief

Many long-term health or relationship issues arise when we suppress or avoid the strong emotions that loss brings.

Compartmentalizing isn’t true grieving—though it can sometimes be a temporary coping mechanism to keep functioning day-to-day.

Over time, however, unprocessed grief can manifest as trauma, physical illness, PTSD, or complicated grief.

For a deeper understanding, I recommend my friend Rhonda O’Neill’s book:

The Other Side of Complicated Grief — Hope in the Midst of Despair, available on Amazon.

Rhonda lost both her husband and a child, and her work brings profound compassion and clarity.

Finding Beauty in Mediumship

When journaling, reflecting, or spending quiet time thinking about a Loved One, try a few of these gentle practices:

• Write regular letters to your Loved One. This creates an energetic connection and provides emotional comfort.
• Prepare their favorite meal or drink, and leave a small portion aside while you eat. This simple offering—a Tibetan practice I was taught—can feel deeply soothing.
• Set aside five or ten minutes each day to think about your Loved One. Focus on your feelings, then sage or cleanse your aura before continuing your day.
• Meditate once a week with the intention of connecting to their energy. Visualize a familiar meeting place, and journal afterward.
• Support your body naturally—try Bach’s Rescue Remedy or other flower essences for emotional balance during grief.

These practices can bring gentle release, clarity, and even moments of peace.

How a Reading with a Medium Can Help

If you feel drawn to have a mediumship reading, choose someone experienced and reputable, ideally recommended by someone you trust.

The true purpose of a reading is emotional release and comfort. Most people leave feeling lighter, more connected, and more at peace.

A good medium will demonstrate the beauty of mediumship by:

• Making no promises.
  Ethical mediums can only bring through those who are ready and able to communicate. Be wary of anyone who guarantees a specific connection.
• Relaying intimate, verifiable details.
  Authentic mediums convey things they couldn’t possibly know—private photos, recent conversations, or small actions that validate the connection.
• Offering information that enlightens and comforts.
  This might include insight into your Loved One’s passing, life challenges, or messages you’ve quietly hoped to hear.

Final Reflections

Mediumship, at its heart, is an act of love, a bridge between worlds that helps us understand that relationships don’t end with death. They evolve.
