Just Let Go of the Guilt! What Your Loved One Wants You to Know From the Other Side
“Please, let go of the guilt. You couldn’t have done anything different.”
If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard those words during a soul reading, I could build a sanctuary for healing hearts.
I mean that.
As an intuitive soul guide and medium, I’ve spent years sitting in sacred space with people just like you—hearts cracked open, holding onto unanswered questions, wondering if there was more they could’ve done. And time and time again, I hear the same thing from the other side:
“Please stop carrying the weight of what you couldn’t change.”
“You did the best you could.”
“I was never angry, and I’m not stuck.”
What if your loved one isn’t holding pain… but holding you instead?
The Weight of Guilt on the Soul
Guilt is one of the heaviest things we carry.
It doesn’t just live in our minds—it settles in our bodies. It coils in the nervous system, hides in the tissues, and tugs at our energy field like an anchor.
We often don’t even realize we’re holding it until we say the words out loud in a session:
“I’m sorry I couldn’t get there in time. I should’ve been there.”
“I should’ve done more.”
“I never got to say goodbye.”
But here’s what I need you to know… guilt is a human emotion—not a soul expectation.
Your loved one isn’t asking you to suffer to prove your love.
They don’t need your pain to feel remembered.
What they long for most… is your healing.
Messages From the Other Side Are for You
When I connect in a soul reading, what I feel isn’t regret or anger or judgment from your loved one.
What I feel is compassion—soft, steady, unconditional compassion.
Messages like:
“Please tell them I’m okay.”
“Please let them live fully.”
“Please help them know I never left.”
These messages aren’t meant to fix the past.
They’re meant to free the living—the ones still here….and if you’re reading this, you.
The ones still aching….you.
The ones still holding their breath because they didn’t get to say goodbye…you.
I’ve learned grief is love with nowhere to go. But when love gets tangled in guilt, it freezes. The energy locks up. The body aches. The mind loops.
And the soul forgets that connection is still possible.
Do Loved Ones Get Stuck Between Worlds?
Some believe that souls get trapped between worlds until they finish unfinished business.
But that’s not what I’ve witnessed.
Again and again, I’ve seen our loved ones transition peacefully—held by ancestors, greeted by soul family, surrounded in light.
They are not wandering. They are not waiting for you to fix something.
They are home. They are safe. And they are still loving you—just in a different form.
It’s we who get stuck.
In our sorrow. In the “what ifs.” In the belief that we could have changed the outcome.
But here’s the deepest truth—you couldn’t have. And you weren’t meant to.
You Only Get to Be You Once
If there’s one thing I hope lands in your heart today, it’s this…
You only get to be you once.
So please—don’t let guilt walk with you for the rest of your life.
Don’t let “I should have” steal the joy that’s still available to you.
Your loved one isn’t gone. They’re just changed. They show up in signs. In songs. In your dreams.
And especially now—as the veil thins this October and the air feels quieter between the seasons—they draw close.
This is a sacred moment. A liminal threshold.
A time to listen. To soften. To receive.
“The afterlife is not a far away place that we visit when we die—it’s a frequency of love we carry when we live. Every moment of presence, every moment of forgiveness, brings us closer to the unseen, where nothing truly ends and everything transforms.”
