Holidays, anniversaries, and birthdays are when we all miss our Loved Ones the most - myself included.
Thankfully, within these special occasions are some of our favorite and most memorable times we can recall with those that we miss the most who are now in Spirit, on The Other Side.
I love the holiday season, you love the holiday season, and guess what - your Loved Ones love the holiday season. It is during this time, where people often recount visits, dreams, and the presence of those that they love.
You aren’t making it up.
If your Loved Ones are going to show up during any time, it’s when you most want them there - and when they most want to be there. It’s now.
What are some signs you're going to have some spirit visitations this season?
Let’s go over just a few -

1. You are inspired to make their favorite dish, drink, or play their favorite music
Your Loved Ones can nudge you and communicate with you clairaudiently or claicognizantly, often heard internally, and wiped away as a thought within your own mind. Spiritually sent communications often feel as though they are coming from the outside, or like they are floating in from elsewhere.
The inspiration you feel could be simply your own warm heart and desire to reminisce and remember.
Still, it could also be an idea that Spirit gave or nudged you to do, especially if you get the nudge repeatedly or from more than one person.
Making your loved one's favorite meal or dish may also inspire positive memories of them, fostering warm feelings in those around you, too and because most Loved Ones want us to have joy, they may actually be encouraging the activity if it would bring us or others that.
If you can, do the thing that reminds you of them, do - it’s an excellent way to include them in the festivities, at least in Spirit and usually, it fosters up their energy if you bring others into the picture, which could make it easier for contact in a dream or sensation later on.
2. You feel compelled to tell stories about you, them, and the things you used to do together
They want to be there as much as you want to be there. One of the main reasons your Loved Ones come down from The Spirit World during the holiday season is to reconnect with everyone.
Stories are a great way to cultivate connections.
Those in Spirit, without physical bodies, are without voice boxes. So, there may be stories they wish to retell and connect over - but physically can’t.
Mediums often have a hard time on holidays because of this.
So many Loved Ones present want to be involved in the chatter - that mediums often have to tune down our abilities at our own gatherings.
We can’t pay attention to human conversations when so many individuals in Spirit also want to be involved in the conversation.
Instead of fighting it, allow yourself to be their vessel for sharing.
Speak about the things you used to do together - share the stories and include them in the chatter. They’ll likely be right there with you and excited to be a part of it.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many individuals I see at celebratory gatherings and family events. It’s generally about as many crossed-over people as there are those in the flesh.
Most of them are right there next to their family members in the conversation, just waiting to jump in and share, sometimes standing over the shoulder of a special someone or standing back in the room.
3. You want to talk about the things they would’ve liked, wanted or done
It’s likely they are nudging you to feel even more compelled than average to talk about what they would have liked.
If you usually keep your mouth shut, but over the Holidays, you feel like you can’t stop it from coming out, you may be being nudged or being used as a spiritual channel.
So just say it and go with the flow if others are comfortable. You never know who will be touched by these memories or thinking the very thoughts you speak -

4. There are major breaks or silences in conversation
The emptiness in conversation can be palpable after a transition because this is often where your Loved One would've chimed in. You can just allow these moments to be. They can be gateways for a spiritual presence to be felt.
If you feel their presence, have a message from someone that needs to be delivered - this is your opening to share it, likely created with assistance from those in Spirit who want their words to be spoken.
5. You feel a wave of emotion coming over you out of nowhere
One of the most common things discussed in readings by your Loved Ones is this. A Loved One, usually a parent or a partner, comes through to say,
“I try to visit you, but every time I do, you sense my presence and become emotional, so I have been standing back.”
Even if you don’t think you can sense the presence of your Loved One - you can, especially if you get emotional waves when you feel their presence.
This could be a sign of clairsentience and them connecting to you through the Heart Chakra, sending you a pulse they are present. This is a common “I’m here” method sent by those in our soul group in Spirit.
When you sense the presence of your Loved One, the emotion comes because you may feel that you suddenly miss them so much. But technically, you aren’t missing them in these moments.
You are sensing them. They are likely standing right there in your energy field. Take a deep breath when the wave of emotion comes. It’s an indicator of their presence.
Some Spirits will wait to visit their family on Earth until they can safely do so without inspiring waves of emotion like this.
So if you sense it, you can let them know it's okay to come close, as you notice them get closer and see how your emotions respond. You can ask your Loved Ones to visit at any comfortable distance that works for you.
6. You keep forgetting that they aren’t ‘there’
This happens very frequently right after the loss of someone - you keep forgetting that they aren’t actually there with you.
While many of those who cross over immediately go over into the life review process, some, especially those who died younger or more suddenly than expected, are granted access to come back to Earth to comfort their Loved Ones during especially meaningful times.
If you find yourself thinking they are there with you, and forgetting that they are not - they may actually be there with you in Spirit. I’ve had mediumship readings where a deceased person hasn't shown up for some folks, because they were watching over someone else on Earth that very moment.
If your Loved One comes back to visit you in your grieving, or for a special event you really wished they were there for, know this is their choice, made entirely of their own free will.
There’s plenty of time to take care of all the chores of crossing over. They can always get to it later, and be with you now. Some of those in Spirit will hover so close that it does feel like they are with you close to all the time, at times.
7. You so thought they were sitting at the table or standing behind you, you had to double-take
Recently, I lost a Loved One, and one night I was making dinner in my kitchen, and I saw them walk in behind me, I turned around to say, “Oh, Hi!” only to realize I was still alone.
When you ‘see’ someone coming in behind you or out of your peripheral vision, this is what is called seeing Spirit in your mind’s eye or as an apparition.
No, not all apparitions look like white, wisps of air - in many cases - they look exactly like the person, pet, or individual looked while they were alive.
If you thought you saw your Loved One - you probably did.
Apparitions are not that hard to create, especially with lots of energy present and in low, cozy lighting, common during the holiday season, they are particularly easy to see.
