Fact Check: Suicide Victims DO Cross into the Light

Recently I was messaged about a mis-statement made about suicide victims by medium on a national broadcast program. 

WHAT HAPPENED? 

Apparently, a female medium (I don't know who it is) said  "No suicide vicitms crossover."  That's totally incorrect, and is actually dangerous to the people they leave behind. Of course suicide victims cross over. 

WHY WOULD A MEDIUM SAY THAT?

Some mediums hold tight to their religious beliefs that "teach" this ridiculous thought. The medium was influenced by her religion, and not connecting with spirit. 

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A SUICIDE VICTIM PASSES?  

As a medium, I've been told by spirits that they awaken on the other side somewhat confused. They realize what they've done and feel sorry for taking their lives. They also ask forgiveness from their loved ones. It is rare for a suicide victim to stay Earthbound as a ghost, as it is for anyone. In addition, their loved ones in spirit welcome them and encourage them to cross over.

AN EXCEPTION

However, if suicide victims hold strict religious beliefs, they may opt to stay Earth-bound for fear of "hell."  There is, however, no 'hell,' just love and forgiveness on the other side (in the light). I've learned that people who hold fast to their religious beliefs and realize or think they've done something harmful to themselves or someone else during their lifetime, opt to sometimes stay Earthbound as a ghost. 

BOTTOM LINE 

Suicide victims, murder victims and anyone can cross over, and usually they do. So if you hear a medium who says they don't, and cites religion as the reason, the medium is not truly connected to spirit.

Fun at the Bowie Senior Center -Speaking Event and Great Questions!

Today I had the wonderful opportunity (thanks, Jenny) to speak about my experiences with Ghosts and Spirits at the Bowie Senior Center in Maryland. There were about 20 people in attendance, and I received great questions. I thought I would share some of the questions and experiences while they're fresh in my mind.
1) SPIRIT AT A GRAVESITE - One person told me that she laid flowers at her son's grave (he was killed in the military) and she took several photos of the gravestone all newly decorated. She said that in one of the photos there appeared to be two pole-like white mists. She realized that they were her the legs of her son, who was standing there watching her.
- Ghosts and spirits don't continually haunt cemeteries. However, when a person goes to a cemetary to honor their loved one, they are filled with love and hope that their loved one is in the light. That love is the energy needed to power a spirit up to appear or give a sign at the cemetary, while their loved one is there. I would love to see that photo.
2) SUICIDES -I was asked about suicides. Yes, people who commit suicides do pass into the light. Some take longer than others to move into the light, but its all about when the develop that awareness that it was wrong to take their own lives. Once they realize that (just like people who experience sudden death in an accident need to realize they're dead), then they can move into the light. People who commit suicide do not go to "hell." That's a religious fallacy.
3) ANIMALS AND GHOSTS- One man mentioned that his cat would often stare at an area in his basement. He said one time a white mist (ectoplasm, apparently) came from the corner and the cat ran. Yes, cats and dogs have a higher sensitivity to movement, and can see ghosts and spirits. In that case, even the owner could see the ghost!
