When someone close to us departs this realm, the grief can feel overwhelming.

We miss them deeply — so much so that our sorrow can sometimes block the very connection we long for.

But here’s the truth: no one ever truly goes away.

They simply shift into another dimension, one we can learn to touch and feel.

Connecting with our departed loved ones is a powerful way to heal, to dissolve the illusion of separation, and to remember that love never dies.

Here’s how:

1. Remove Limiting Beliefs

The first step to connecting with your loved one on the other side is to remove any limiting beliefs that are standing in your way.

Certain religions and cultures may label communicating with the departed as taboo or forbidden.

When my son Cory passed away, I asked myself:

“Am I going to let other people’s beliefs stop me from receiving love and communication from him?”

The answer was a resounding NO.

Another common limiting belief is the fear of being judged — that others might think we’re “crazy” for believing in signs, messages, or feelings from those who have passed.

I chose to let people think what they wanted. This was my life, my son, and his presence was undeniably real.

Some also fear the idea of ghosts or hauntings.

It’s important to know there’s a big difference between a spirit who has transitioned fully into the light — experiencing pure bliss and Love — and a soul who is stuck between realms.

Your loved one is at peace. They are in the Light. And they want nothing more than to love and support you.

2. Raise Your Vibration

Grieving is natural and necessary.

But to establish a stronger connection with your loved one, it’s important not to stay submerged in the heaviness of grief all the time.

When we are deep in sorrow, our vibration is low.

Meanwhile, our loved ones exist at a very high vibrational frequency — making it difficult to feel or hear them when we are weighed down.

Learning to raise your vibration creates a bridge between their world and yours.

Here’s how:

Practice Stillness: Sit quietly for 5–10 minutes each day. Let your nervous system calm and your inner world settle.

Live in the Present Moment: Smell your food before you eat. Feel your feet on the ground. Breathe deeply. Look someone in the eye when they speak.

Use Gratitude: When you find yourself spiraling into sadness, gently shift by listing three things you’re grateful for.

Repeat Loving Mantras:

“It’s okay to feel sad.”
“I choose acceptance of what is.”
“All is well.”
“Everything is happening in my favor.”

These simple practices will gradually lift your energy — opening your heart to feel the love and messages your loved one is sending.

3. Relate to Your Loved One

Once you’ve cleared limiting beliefs and raised your vibration, you’re ready to relate to your loved one in new and beautiful ways.

Understand this:

They are using everything they can to get your attention — to remind you that they are with you.

Signs can come in countless ways, including:

Visits from animals or insects
Song lyrics that feel “too perfect” to be coincidence
Finding coins or feathers
Seeing their birthday numbers repeatedly
Smelling roses or a familiar scent
People who unexpectedly channel their messages
Synchronicities and number patterns like 1111

Be open. Be curious. Be willing to receive.

You can also invite connection through your dreamworld.

Before going to sleep, set a simple, heartfelt intention:

“I would love to visit with you tonight.”

Dreamtime is an altered state where communication flows more easily.

In your waking life, you can communicate telepathically.

Talk to them in your heart.

Ask them questions.

Listen for the quiet, loving responses.

At first, you may doubt the messages that come — thinking they’re just your imagination.

But as you practice, you’ll notice a sweetness, a wisdom, and a knowing that didn’t come from your ordinary mind.

Telepathic communication is natural in the spirit realm.

The more you trust, the more effortless it becomes.

———

Before long, you’ll begin to experience something miraculous:

The illusion that they are “gone” will fade.

Instead, you will feel their presence — perhaps even more vividly, more profoundly — than you ever did when they were in physical form.

The spirit realm is more real than this earthly one.

When you learn to trust that truth, a whole new relationship with your loved one opens before you —one filled with guidance, connection, and a Love that endures forever.
