Is It Too Soon (or Too Late) to Connect With a Loved One Who Passed?

When someone we love passes, we often find ourselves asking questions that feel too big, too heavy, or too tender to voice out loud. One of the most common questions I hear as a medium is:

“Is it too soon to connect with them?”

And, just as often:

“Did I wait too long?”

Grief doesn’t follow a schedule. And neither does spirit.

Whether your loss is recent or happened many years ago, the desire to reconnect comes from the same place: love. And the beautiful truth is, that love—the bond between your soul and theirs—doesn’t disappear with time. It transcends it.

In the early days of loss, our hearts are often wrapped in shock, disbelief, and deep pain. We’re still trying to comprehend what’s happened, and the world around us feels different—hollow, even.

Some people feel the urge to connect right away, to know their loved one is okay. Others wonder if they need to “wait” for spirit to settle on the other side.

Here’s what I’ve learned through spirit: they don’t need time—we do.
Spirit is often ready to reach out, eager to let you know they’re near. But if you're still deeply immersed in acute grief, it may be harder for you to feel or recognize their presence. Not because you’re doing anything wrong, but because pain can temporarily cloud awareness.

If you’re unsure, trust your inner knowing. There’s no rush. When you’re ready, spirit will meet you exactly where you are.

Time passes. Life moves on, even when our hearts feel like they’re standing still. And sometimes, people carry guilt or hesitation about reaching out to a loved one in spirit long after their passing.

You might wonder:

  • "What if they’ve moved on?"
  • "What if they’re no longer available?"
  • "What if I missed my chance?"

Let me reassure you: it is never too late.

I’ve facilitated connections with loved ones who crossed decades ago—and their messages are just as clear, just as loving, and often just as healing. Spirit doesn’t forget. They don’t hold time the way we do. What they care about is youyour heart, your healing, your willingness to connect.

Sometimes, waiting even allows for a deeper, more peaceful exchange—because time has softened the pain, and space has opened for reflection and presence.

Whether your loss was recent or long ago, if you feel a pull to connect, know that your loved one is already aware of that desire. In fact, they’ve likely been trying to reach you—through memories, signs, dreams, or moments of sudden warmth or peace.

There’s no perfect timeline. Spirit works in alignment with love, not clocks. And they’re incredibly patient, wise, and gentle in the way they come through.

Every reading is different. Some bring closure. Others bring laughter. Some bring long-awaited answers, while others offer nothing more (and nothing less) than the deep reassurance: “I’m still with you. You are not alone.”

So, is it too soon? Too late?

No, love. It’s never too soon. And it’s never too late.

It’s always just… love. And love doesn’t expire.

If you're feeling called to connect with someone in spirit, I invite you to follow that nudge.
