“Missing you gets easier everyday because even though I am one day further from the last day I saw you, I am one day closer to the next time I will.”
Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, yet it feels deeply personal every time we go through it. When someone we love passes on, the absence can feel overwhelming. And yet, within that absence, there is also the possibility of connection, love, and healing.
The Waves of Grief
Dealing with the absence of loved ones comes in waves. Some days are easier, filled with the joy of knowing they still walk beside us in spirit. Other days, the ache of missing them feels almost unbearable.
This is something I’ve experienced personally and something I’ve witnessed in family, friends, and clients alike. No two grief journeys are the same, but the emotions of loss - longing, sadness, and even moments of joy - are something we all share.
The Half-Full Glass Perspective
Growing up, my family instilled in me the mindset of always seeking the positive side of things: the glass half full. But the loss of a loved one can challenge even the most optimistic perspective.
Even though we may understand the comforting idea that our loved ones are free from suffering and in a better place, it doesn’t take away the pain of not having them here with us. Questions echo in our minds: Why did it happen? Why so soon? Why so suddenly?

Giving Yourself Permission to Mourn
One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned is that it’s okay to be sad, it’s okay to mourn, and it’s okay to feel lost. Grief deserves its place in our lives. At the same time, there’s often a greater story unfolding alongside the pain.
Reflecting on life after loss, many of us find unexpected connections - new friends, communities, or even animal companions who walk into our lives and bring comfort. We may also discover strengths we never knew we had and lessons that guide us forward.
Transforming Grief Into Purpose
Out of tragedy, countless initiatives have been born—foundations, charities, and support groups started by those who once walked the same painful path. Their suffering became a bridge to helping others heal.
For me personally, losing most of my family at a young age is what opened the door to my spiritual path. Seeking answers, I read countless books, visited mediums, and searched in different countries. Eventually, I no longer believed — I knew the spirit world existed, because I felt my loved ones with me. That knowing became the foundation of my journey as an Evidential Medium.
My “Half-Full Glass” Perspective Today
Today, helping others navigate the pain of grief through mediumship is one of the greatest honors of my life. Every time I connect someone with their loved ones in spirit, healing begins. That is my half-full glass perspective today.
What is yours?
Maybe you are in the midst of grief and you haven’t found your own half-full glass perspective yet. And that’s okay. Grief and healing take time, and every person’s journey looks different. Still, gentle reflection can open new doors and bring comfort. Here are some questions that might help you explore your own path:
-
What communities could I join locally or online?
Have you explored support groups, spiritual circles, or community events? Platforms like Meetup.com and Facebook groups can be great places to connect with others who truly understand what you are going through. -
Do I want to develop or deepen my own spiritual or mediumship abilities?
Many people discover that after a loss, they feel a stronger connection to the spirit world. Exploring your own intuition through meditation, classes, or spiritual development circles can be deeply healing. (I do offer personal mediumship mentoring!) -
What new connections or blessings have come into my life since my loss?
Sometimes grief carves out space for unexpected friendships, new routines, or even the companionship of animals. Recognizing these gifts doesn’t lessen the pain - it adds new layers of meaning. -
How can I honor my loved one’s memory while moving forward?
This might be through journaling, creating art, lighting a candle, or simply speaking to them in your heart. Honoring their memory is a way of keeping the bond alive.
Remember, healing is not about forgetting—it’s about weaving your love for them into the next chapter of your life.
The Eternal Bond With Our Loved Ones
Grief has many facets, but so does hope. The beautiful reminder in the quote—“Missing you gets easier everyday because even though I am one day further from the last day I saw you, I am one day closer to the next time I will.” - tells us that our earthly life is just one chapter in our eternal story.
The truth is, we don’t have to wait until the end of this life to feel our loved ones again. They are already with us - guiding, loving, and walking beside us from the spirit world. In essence, we’ve never truly been apart.
Finding Comfort Through Mediumship
If you are grieving and long to feel closer to a loved one who has passed, know that you don’t have to walk this journey alone. Through mediumship readings, I offer comforting evidence of your loved one’s continued presence, their personality, and the eternal bond you share.
If you feel called not only to receive messages from the spirit world but also to deepen your own mediumship abilities, I would be honored to guide you. Through personal mentoring sessions, I offer supportive, one-on-one lessons that help you strengthen your connection to spirit, build confidence, and trust your own gifts.
Together, we can bring light into the darkness of loss and remind your heart that love never dies.
