Do Some Souls Not Realise They Have Died?
When death is sudden, traumatic, or entirely unexpected, like in a car accident or a random act of violence, a soul may take time to process what has happened.
Mediums and shamans here, along with divine guides and spirit beings in the other realms, are present to support the transition. But even with help, some souls need time before they’re ready to accept their passing and move toward the light.
I remember a story from someone close to me:
Her best friend contacted her during a session with a medium. The medium said he was arguing that he wasn’t dead, as if pleading a case in court. When my friend heard that, she smiled through her tears and said, “He was a lawyer.”
These kinds of reactions are more common than we think. The soul may feel confused, resistant, or simply overwhelmed by the shift and no matter how long it takes, days in our time or more, they always find their way.
If you ever sense that a loved one hasn’t crossed over, the best thing you can do is gently help from here: Send white light to them and the place of their passing. Call in their ancestors and loved ones who have already crossed, asking them to assist in the transition. Love will always be the strongest guide.
Do Souls Grieve?
A natural question arises:
If we grieve their loss, do souls grieve their own passing?
Not in the way we understand grief. Grief here is dense. We feel it through the body, through our nervous system, our cells, our memories. It can manifest as sorrow, depression, or even long-term emotional heaviness.
Souls, however, no longer carry the weight of a physical body. Once in the spirit realm, they move into a vibrational state where dense emotional attachments dissolve.
Imagine emotion like water:
In the body (like a sponge), water gets absorbed, and sometimes gets stuck.
In the ether (like air), water flows, evaporates, or transforms almost instantly.
This doesn’t mean they feel nothing. But their experiences become lighter, more like seeds of insight than burdens. What we experience as intense grief, they may experience as a sacred understanding or a transition into deeper love.
A Journey of Release
From what I’ve observed in my work, even when souls are confused at first, they are never alone. There is guidance. There is support. And eventually, there is clarity and acceptance.
For those of us left behind, knowing that our loved ones do come to understand, that they do find peace, can help soften our grief. Their journey continues. Their love remains.
And we, too, are on our own journey of learning to release, without forgetting, without denying, but with faith that they are held, seen, and embraced in realms beyond our eyes.
Much light,
