This is reposted from a new blogger. Her wanting a sign of comfort from her mother, who has been deceased twenty-eight years, resonates with me, as she too is a medium...
As a medium, I urge my clients to "Look for the signs" of your loved ones in Spirit, because they are always around you. The most common signs are of course white feathers. pennies or coins, a certain bird, animal or insect (butterflies and dragonflies are favorites) and perhaps even something more recognizable like a favorite song that suddenly comes on in a restaurant.
My first blog "White Feather of Love" that you can find here on my website was about my mom and the big white feathers that she sent me for years following her passing. I don't seem to get much of anything from her anymore lately, and that's partly due to the fact that it's been 28 years now since her passing. I know as a medium that the longer a soul is on the other side, the less frequently their signs show up. This is because they have evolved and moved onwards and upwards in their own journey on the other side. They have plenty to do over there to continue to grow as a soul if they choose. Sometimes, they will also spend some time with someone else in the family who is struggling if you yourself are doing well.
