The Healing Power of Shared Memories

The Healing Power of Shared Memories

Spirit has a remarkable way of bringing up the smallest, most ordinary moments — the ones that slip through the cracks of our memory but still hold immense meaning. It might be a burned dinner, a favorite song on a car ride, or the sound of laughter echoing through a kitchen long ago. These aren’t random details; they’re proof that love lingers in the quiet places.

During a recent session with a woman named Marylou her husband shared a memory of them taking an Alaskan cruise and the whales that showed up.  She was stunned and then elaborated on how they'd taken an excursion from the ship out on a small boat out. The captain exclaimed that he'd never seen so many whales breach the water at one time. It was an exhilarating experience for Marylou and her husband.

That one memory, resurrected decades later, opened a doorway of connection wider than any grand statement could. The message wasn’t about the whales—it was about love in action, love expressed through care, through the desire to give. Spirit knows that when they bring up those specific memories, they’re not just proving survival—they’re reigniting the feeling of being seen, cherished, and remembered.

I’ve found that the most healing readings often come through the simplest details. A father reminding his daughter about the time they danced in the kitchen to old country music. A grandmother recalling the scent of gardenias in her hair. A friend mentioning the inside joke that only the two of you ever understood.

Spirit knows we find comfort in the ordinary. They show us that what we considered “everyday life” was actually sacred all along. Those memories remind us that connection didn’t end—it simply changed form.

If you’ve been longing to feel your loved one near, to relive the warmth of those small but powerful moments, I’d be honored to help you reconnect. Schedule a session through aperfectsoul.com.
