What Spirit has Taught Me

I wanted to share something that spirit has shown me again and again. One of the biggest lessons I’ve been given from Spirit is that death and birth are really not all that different.

They are mirrors. They are both a process.

Each is a threshold, a great crossing. And while one marks what we often call an “ending,” and the other a “beginning,” both are simply transitions, moments when the soul moves from one place to another. And in both, there is something that quietly moves.

When a soul is born into this world, there are people gathered, they are waiting, weeping, rejoicing, praying. And on the other side, there are ones who have passed on grieving their departure from the spirit world.

When a soul leaves this world, the same is true. We gather. We grieve. We celebrate. We whisper our love. And that soul is born onto the other side - and there is a rejoicing.

What Spirit has taught me is this: we come and go in both processes. When we are in the birth process, our spirit comes and goes. And the same thing happens as we are dying, even if it is sudden. There is a certain “back-and forthness” that happens.

We enter this life carried by unseen hands, and we leave it the same way. Our arrival is a departure from another plane. Our departure is an arrival elsewhere. In both birth and death, we are met. Those who love us—whether here or in Spirit—hold space for that transition.

Spirit has also shown me that the emotions we feel…grief, joy and all those feelings in between are companions to us. To love is to grieve. To witness new life is to remember impermanence. To say goodbye is to recognize how deeply we cared.

I’ve felt this in my own body. I’ve witnessed it in readings, in messages that come through, in the quiet pauses where a soul lingers for just a moment before crossing fully. It feels familiar. It feels kind.

There is no finality in death, just as there is no true beginning in birth. We are more than our bodies. We are more than our names. We are part of something continuous and infinite.

So if you’re grieving right now…

Or welcoming someone new…

Or caught in the strange in-between of both…

Spirit is with you.

We are never truly alone…not when we arrive, and not when we leave.

There is always someone waiting. Always someone loving, someone remembering. And that is the most sacred thing of all.
