Question: My boyfriend died in an accident 2 months ago. His mom had a dream that he came to her and told her he was okay. But I haven’t had any such contact. Why won’t he come to me?
Answer: I get variations of this question a lot. It’s normal to want contact from people who have recently crossed over. You want to make sure they’re okay, that they didn’t suffer, and you want to know they are still connected to you. There are several reasons why you may not hear from them so fast, if ever.
First, you have to be an open conduit. If someone is calling your cell phone and you’ve got it turned off, whose fault is that? If you want to receive communication from deceased loved ones you’ll have to be open to it. That means paying attention to your dreams, watching for signs that were unique to them, and being open to a clairvoyant, clairaudient, or clairsentient message from them. If you associate your boyfriend with a certain song, maybe you’ll hear it on the radio at the same time you’re already thinking about him. Maybe you’ll smell gardenias when none are around and you equate this to your grandmother. In short, maybe communication is there and you’re just not picking up on it.
Second, maybe they want to contact you but can’t. Reaching the other side isn’t a one way ticket to omniscience. People don’t suddenly become god-like on the other side. Some spirits are unable to make contact with the living. Sometimes they need help. Other, stronger spirits, can sometimes bring through a deceased relative who can’t come through on their own. Or your spirit guides can at least relay messages between you two. Again, you’ll have to watch for communication from many different channels and methods. Over time a spirit can learn to reach back to the living, which requires altering their frequency, and that isn’t an automatic skill.
Thirdly, maybe they don’t want to communicate with you. Sometimes when I do readings a bunch of people from one family will come through, but someone will be conspicuously absent. I am sometimes told that that person has already “moved on” and is no longer feeling an emotional connection with family they left behind. Sometimes, I get a mother who will talk to my sitter and then leave before the father comes through. Usually that means they were separated or divorced (or hated each other) while alive, and they are not wanting to come through together.
Fourth, maybe you are blocking the communication with your emotions. Sometimes when a person dies the people they leave behind are angry. It’s hard for a spirit to come through anger. People can inadvertently block communication with a spirit if they’re feeling angry or too upset. When you settle down you might find the spirit was there all along.
Some people are better able to pick up on deceased energy. So if you don’t hear from your boyfriend it doesn’t mean he isn’t connected to you. Give it time, patience and love. Concentrate on his energy. Hold a photo or something dear to him. Ask him to come to you and tell him you will be open to the signs, signals, and synchronicities that work best for him.
Sometimes it can be hard to know if you’re really receiving communication from deceased loved ones or if it’s all in your head. That’s one reason why going to mediums is excellent because they don’t know anything about you or the deceased person. So if a medium starts telling you about your first date with the deceased or something equally private, it will give you greater confidence that your loved one is really there on the other side. I once did a reading for a guy and his grandmother came through. Her first words to him were “Don’t worry.” That was significant for him because those were apparently the final two words she spoke on her death bed and only he, his father, and his dying grandmother were present to hear it. But if he had tuned in to her on his own and heard “don’t worry” in his mind, that may not have been enough proof for him to believe he was really communicating with her.
Even professional mediums can wait months or even years to get definitive communication from their loved ones on the other side. Which just goes to show that if you’re sitting there waiting by your phone you still may not get a call. Go live your life, watch for signs and communication, keep sending them love, but try not to be terribly upset if you don’t dream about them right away. These things take time.
