Have you been waiting for your deceased loved one to visit you from the afterlife but cannot understand why they haven’t connected with you yet? It isn’t because your loved ones in the afterlife don’t love you or miss you.

Our deceased loved ones can struggle to communicate with us, especially if they recently crossed over. It can take time for them to adjust and process past trauma or grief. But we may miss their messages if we are experiencing grief or sadness, overthink things, lack grounding, and doubt or fear of the afterlife.

1. Your loved one Recently Passed Away

Your loved ones in the afterlife may not be able to connect with you after their transition if they were weak or barely unconscious in their final moments of life. It could take them weeks, months, or even years to fully recharge their energy. Don’t despair, be patient, but if you really can’t wait any longer, book a session with a medium.

2. They Are Still Adjusting To The Afterlife

Adjusting to the Spirit Realm takes time which is why our deceased loved ones may not immediately visit us after their transition. Young souls need to re-learn how to move around in spirit form and practice manifesting themselves in the physical world. Whereas souls that have reincarnated many times will almost immediately be able to connect with their living family members and friends.

3. They Need Time To Process Their Trauma

Did your beloved family member or friend experience any trauma in their lives? If so, they may need time to process and heal from these past traumatic events. Everyone works through their baggage at their own pace, so there isn’t a specific timeline for them to work towards. Some spirit people may only need a couple of weeks, while others may need a lot longer.

4. It Is Not The Right Time For Them

Once your loved ones transition into the afterlife, they create their ideal version of heaven, often called the rainbow ridge. But our loved ones also use their time to reconnect with their human family, their friends, and pets. This is yet another reason why our deceased relatives and friends can take time to reconnect with us.

5. You Aren’t Fully Open To The Experience

Many people want to connect with their deceased relatives but may be worried about opening up to spirit communication. But we shouldn’t let our fear of the unknown keep us from communicating with them. Our loved ones haven’t changed! They are still the same old loving beings you knew before their transition. The only difference is that they are no longer limited to a physical body.

6. You Don’t See The Signs From The Afterlife

Do you recognize and acknowledge the afterlife signs from your family members and friends? Most people miss or unintentionally ignore signs from their loved ones in spirit. This is because they don’t understand how they can communicate with us. Afterlife communication can include dream visitations, encounters with winged animals, flickering of lights, and sensing that someone is watching you, just to name a few.

7. Your Grief Is Blocking Your Communication


When grieving the loss of a family member or friend, it can be difficult to spiritually connect with them. Grief keeps us in a low vibration and affects our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. To communicate with them, we need to quieten the mind, feel love in our hearts, and sense our connection to them through our physical bodies.

8. Your Analytical Mind Is Getting In The Way

Do you doubt the existence of an afterlife or find it difficult to believe that deceased loved ones can visit or communicate with us? If so, I encourage you to put your beliefs to the side and try a little experiment. Ask them to send you specific signs, such as a swarm of butterflies, coins with their birth year, or any other signs your mind cannot deny. You don’t want your mind to get in the way and stop you from reconnecting with them. Keep an open mind and send your family and friends love throughout the process.

9. You Find It Hard To Stay Present

You can communicate with your deceased loved ones as long as you stay firmly rooted in the present moment. If your thoughts fluctuate between the past and the future, it will be hard for them to get messages through to you. Our loved ones communicate telepathically, mind-to-mind communication. But to hear their messages, you need to quieten the mind and be fully present in the now.

10. You Aren’t Spiritually Open To It Yet


Connecting with loved ones in the afterlife requires us to vibration to meet theirs. Most people struggle to do this because they get so caught up in their earthly experiences. They aren’t focused on their spiritual development and don’t engage in practices such as meditation to raise their state of consciousness.

11. You Need To Develop Your Intuition


Have you ever had a gut feeling about a person or animal? If you answered yes, then you are aware of your intuitive abilities. Otherwise, you simply need to develop this ability and learn to send and receive messages from the afterlife. A little effort goes a long way to reconnecting with your furry companions.
