This elephant journal post from April is brilliant: “Why we Need to Stop Saying ‘I’m Sorry for Your Loss’” resonated with me because I dislike clichés, but even more, I yearn to see people feel comfortable speaking about death.
Even mediums who know there is only physical death, that the essence of who we are is eternal, feel the suffering of missing an individual who has died.
Mediums must understand this pain, and realize that the use of phrases like "Sorry for your loss" is achingly bland.
Connecting to our emotions helps deflate clichés. For instance, natural mediumship presentations should be free of stock phrases like “May I work with you?,” "Who can take this lovely gentleman?," “Take his love,” and “Thank you for working with me.”
When demonstrating survival, open the space of your awareness to let Spirit speak with their emotions.
And when speaking to the bereaved, let emotions lead the way in expressing your condolences.
Let a tender silence fill the space between you if that is appropriate. Only you and the grieving soul beside you know what is needed, and it is not to accentuate loss.
