At a funeral, relatives often tell the one who has died how much he or she meant to them and how much they will miss them. Since the person they are addressing is dead, that might seem strange. But there is a good reason why it is perfectly natural. Those loving relatives sense that their loved one is still present. And, believe it or not, often they are.

Have you noticed that at funerals, the loving relatives who speak publicly often directly address the one who has passed? Are they assuming their loved one is hearing what they are saying? Perhaps, now you wonder will you attend your own funeral.

Mediums communicate with the dead

You probably know that mediums can communicate with the dead. Often people who have lost a love one are hoping to find a good medium. Naturally, they hope the one they choose can give them genuine messages from the lost loved one. You might be surprised to know that during a life between lives regression, which I conduct, you can directly communicate with your loved one and ask questions. Here is a podcast by one of my clients who experienced that with his wife who had passed. For those who have lost a loved one, this is a powerful experience.

I have been to a few psychic medium presentations lately. At first, I wondered if Mediums really are receiving genuine communication from individuals who have died. Watching carefully, I noticed how this works. Usually, someone in the audience recognises details about the loved one which the Medium presents. Obviously, If these details seem to fit the passed loved one, the audience member raises their hand. Apparently, the spirit of the loved one communicates to the medium, any messages for the audience member. The audience member has to decide if the messages are likely form their loved one. Although many audience members are convinced of the efficacy of these messages, usually the message are very general. Even if it works, it seems quite a clumsy way to communicate. Of course, I find the direct communications that take place in the regressions I conduct more satisfying.

Occasionally, I have also noticed, the audience member learns that the passed spirit was at the funeral, and the spirit will supply some details of what took place. 

During regressions, some of my clients learn that, after they die at the end of a past life, they attend their own funeral. One particular client comes to mind.

Leane experiences a past life as a man called Len

In her past life, my client, Leanne, was a man in a loving relationship. Sadly, his wife had an accident, falling off a horse and ending up crippled. Subsequently, he looked after her, bringing her iced tea on the porch and, in the evening carrying her up the stairs. In the afternoons, they sat together on the porch conversing, watching the sun set, and quietly revelling in their deep love for each other. 

Unfortunately, the wife died before him. During the session, he tells me what happened.

After she passed, I grew some plants for her and watched them grow. It was five years. Too long. I missed her.

I reassure Leanne. Everything in the physical world passes. The body grows old and wears out. But nothing can take away the love and connection between you and a loved one.

Leanne replies. That is why I love sunflowers. That is what I planted in that life after my wife died, and I still do grow them. She goes quiet for a few moments. “I feel peaceful now.”

After Len (in the past life) dies

I died around age sixty.

Out loud, I wonder how he died in that past life.

Leanne places her hand on her chest before answering. A heart attack.

Can you see your body? I ask. 

Immediately, Len answers, I don’t want to look back. I am moving towards my family. Now I see a structure like a church. Big wooden doors. Then I enter as the doors are open. Oh!I think I am at my funeral in that life. I see It is busy. Moving along, I am now near the front, but at the side, watching. From my guides, I am hearing that I need to be here because I haven’t valued myself.

What are they saying? I ask.

Now, I am hearing that I was loving, selfless, humorous, cheery, talented, and, as well, a good friend. I didn’t realise how much I was valued. I didn’t know how much of an impact I made.

Tears form in Leanne’s eyes.

I feel the soul of my son is there.

Clarifying, I check, learning that this is Leanne’s son in her current life.

In that life, he was my nephew and saw me as father figure. He didn’t speak at the funeral, but I know what he is feeling because he is standing near me. He loved being with me. Fishing. Talking. He is going to miss that. We had a great relationship. He was like my son in a way. Such a beautiful soul. I see he has his own young family in that life.

Speaking of Len, Leanne sums up, People saw me as good man. Now she goes silent for a few moments, before saying, We can go now.

Will you attend your own funeral?

It is worth remembering when you attend funerals, that the spirit of the one who has passed may be there. When the death has been sudden or very sad, attending the funeral may be important for a soul’s development.

A friend of mine is a gifted medium. At a vigil held recently for a young man who had killed himself, she picked up his energy. “Holy shit!” She heard him exclaim, very excited. Look how many people are here! She said he was greatly impressed, realising how many people were sad that he had decided to go. Obviously his soul benefited by attending his own funeral.

No doubt, if we are meant to understand how much we would be missed, we will attend our own funeral. Possibly, if we have not really seen value in ourselves, we may go to our own funeral to learn how much we are valued. Maybe, just for fun or curiosity, we might attend our own funeral. In the meantime, we can attend the funerals of those friends and relatives knowing that they may very well be there, and also knowing how important it is to go to the funerals of those we care about.

There are many opportunities to learn and develop our understanding of how this Earth system works. Attending our own funeral is one of them. Another is communicating with those who have passed. Now you know that it is possible to do that directly by undertaking a regression.
