Late Term and Child Loss

Controversial, maybe. Contacting a medium?

I hope this doesn't stir emotions for anyone, I'm just exploring options that could bring me comfort.
I was raised Catholic so this stuff is completely out of the realm of "what's right" but I can't help but contemplate it. So totally conflicted and I know it's out of desperation, so it might be completely inappropriate.

Have any of you considered contacting or actually contacted a medium to communicate with a loved one? What's your stance on this sort of thing?

Re: Controversial, maybe. Contacting a medium?

  • I can see how some people would get comfort from this, (My mom contacted a medium after my Grandmother passed and she thought it was helpful) and I would not judge someone if they felt it would give them some peace.

    Personally, I do not believe in mediums and do not think that someone here on Earth can communicate with those that have passed. Having said that, if you think that contacting a medium would help in you grieving process then you should do what you think it right for you. Hugs.

  • I just talk to Ben, mostly in my head, just like I did when I was pregnant. I was also raised catholic and have only recently strayed from the church. I just can't let go of heaven though. The thought of holding and kissing my baby boy again some day brings me comfort.

    You have to do what's best for you. I don't know that I would pay someone though.

    I have mixed feelings on it.  I sort of believe in it, but I'm kind of a "see to believe it" kinda person.  I would actually really like to visit a medium, but I'm scared.  I'm not sure why, maybe because if it were to not go well or be fake it would perhaps make me lose faith that our loved ones are out there....I guess I just want to keep my belief where it is, and not be proven right or wrong.

    I think if I happened along one I'd do it, but I doubt I'd ever take the initiative to seek one out.  But if you think it will help you, I say go for it.

  • I believe in mediums, and I have gone to two since Ana died. They both said similar things and it was very healing for me. :)

    That's awesome! Are you willing to share if she spoke to you through them or if they saw that she was happy and whole? This is what would be so healing for me.

    We didn't contact a medium, but one contacted us.  Shortly after Eleanor died, my Aunt's Mother-in-Law's medium friend (who we have never met) said she had a vision of our daughter.  She told my aunt's mother-in-law what she had seen, and word got back to us.  She saw our daughter with a woman in a garden, and the description of that woman was my husband's grandmother, who had passed on a few years before, and who he loved very much.  

    I don't know what I believe in regards to psychics, but I do find it very comforting that she saw my Ellie with her great-grandmother.

  • Can I eat some crow? Once you planted the seed in my head it started to grow... It has been mentioned by others a couple of times now IRL. I'm intrigued.

  • Chills. Very good chills. Today is particularly hard and this what just what I needed to hear. Thank you!!

    I'm more convinced that I need to do this. @lexusolsen‌ if you do it, please let me know! I'll share my experience after, if anyone is interested in reading it. Hugs ladies! Our babies are with us!!

    I've had only one experience with any sort of sign from a lost loved one and it wasn't even a message for me.

    I dreamed of my FIL before DH and I married. He had such a peaceful presence. FIL passed away suddenly when DH was a young boy. In my dream FIL told me to let DH know that he's always with him and that he missed DH talking to him "like he used to." In the dream he also wanted me to let MIL know that he wished she would let go of the anger. I shared this dream and she later told me she does have a lot of anger still (it's been 30 years!!) and she will work on letting it go.

    Despite this dream, I still need comfort of my own that Madeleine is also with us.
  • I do believe in them and I once saw a psychic in New Orleans off Bourbon Street and at the time she was pretty spot on. While I don't seek them out, if presented an opportunity to see a medium and have a chance at communicating with Jack (and my friend that passed last year...) I would totally do it. Honestly , even if it truly was hooey....just to have someone convinced that they're talking to my son and my friend and tell me they're together and happy would be comforting enough for me. I too was raised Catholic.... went to school K-high school.

  • I was super skeptical and thought it was kinda lame but my husband and I went about a month ago and I have felt so much better after. I talk to Mary all the time but hearing a complete stranger tell me things about her and who she's with and what she's doing was incredibly healing for both of us. I have,however, listened to readings from a couple other loss moms and I do not think theirs were real/worth it.
