Many spiritual teachers believe we miss people because we’re still connected to them on a soul level and will continue to feel that person’s energy around us. While this can be comforting after substantial healing, it can be difficult to navigate the feelings of missing someone if they have recently passed away.
Additionally, it’s believed that when our loved ones cross over, they become our spiritual guides and protectors. Therefore, to maintain a connection with the other side, missing them might be necessary to develop that relationship. The longing to reconnect can be a helpful feeling to help us remain spiritually open.
While missing someone dearly can feel debilitating at times, it can help us explore the spiritual realm and form a connection again. You can take several steps to connect with a loved one in spirit, which can alleviate the hardship of missing them physically.
