When people ...
Are in need of support, either after a bereavement or otherwise, having a sitting (or a Reading) with a Medium is often the first thing people think about doing. But please do bare in mind the following:
1) Having a Reading can be deeply emotional, especially if your loved-one has passed very recently, and particularly if the circumstance around the passing is traumatic.
Having a reading and connection with a loved-one is Spirit is often most beneficial when emotions are more settled, and you are more able to take in, and process the information that is shared during your Reading.
On a practical level for your Spirit loved-one too, they need time to adjust to being in Spirit, and to be able to effectively connect and communicate with a Medium. As a guide, 3 months is usually an opportune time, though this can obviously vary.
2) Nope, that's not what a Reading is for!! Mediums are able to connect with the other side, not connect into balls spinning rapidly in a drum!!
There are occasions when a loved-one in Spirit may share their good luck or judgment with you, but we are not able to give you the lottery numbers - or any other form of 'fortune telling'. You have your own intuition to go on with that one!!
3) Mediumship can be a great tool for healing, as well as for giving hope, direction and support to someone who is grieving. However, there are times when having a Reading may not necessarily be the most beneficial thing to do:
If someone is feeling strongly emotionally challenged, or is in need of more medical or psychological support, Mediumship would not actually be that helpful.
Even when someone in the strongest throes of grief, they may actually benefit more initially from bereavement counselling. If anyone is involved with any kind of non-prescribed substances too, connecting with Spirit is not to be advised.
A competent, ethical & professional Medium will know, recognise and understand the boundaries. They will be able to, and will gently point someone in need of other support, gently, freely and empathically - towards more appropriate support.
