Alright, let’s just put it right out there—because if you’ve ever lost someone you loved, really loved, this question has probably sat with you in the quiet hours:
“Can they still hear me?”
Not just feel you, not “watching over you” in the vague, Hallmark-card kind of way—but can they actually hear you when you talk to them?
And hey—if you’ve ever found yourself alone in the car, or in the shower, or doing dishes and suddenly saying something like, “I miss you, Dad,” or “I hope you’re proud of me, Mom”… then guess what? You’re not crazy. You’re normal. You're human. And you're probably doing more than just talking to the air.
Let’s break it down. Plain and simple.
We Talk Because We Feel Them
Here’s the thing: when someone we love dies, our relationship with them doesn’t end. It changes. It becomes less physical and more… energetic. Emotional. Spiritual.
And instinctively, we keep talking to them. Why?
Because love doesn’t know how to shut up just because someone left the room.
You ever felt like they were right there with you—like their laugh was just under the surface of silence?
That sudden memory that hits you in the chest like a wave? That’s not just nostalgia. That’s connection.
So, are they hearing you?
Yeah. I know they are. And I’m not saying that as some poetic idea—I’m telling you because I’ve lived it, I’ve seen it, and I’ve watched thousands of people experience the same.
“Okay Blair, But How Do You Know?”
Fair question. And I’ll say this—nobody has a lab coat answer to this. We can’t stick a spirit on an MRI or run it through a Bluetooth speaker. But over the years, I’ve heard way too many stories—beautiful, weird, specific, goosebump-inducing stories—for me to chalk this all up to imagination.
People hear songs at the exact right time.
Lights flicker when they say something meaningful.
Butterflies show up only on birthdays and anniversaries.
Heck, a woman told me the other day that her deceased husband’s cologne filled their bedroom at 3 a.m.—and she doesn't even own a bottle anymore.
Coincidences? Nope.
Here’s what I believe: when we speak from the heart, they get it. Maybe not with ears. Maybe not with words. But the energy of what we’re saying? That, they hear loud and clear.
Love Isn’t Bound by a Body
Let me give you a little metaphor I use a lot:
Our body? That’s the envelope.
Our soul? That’s the letter inside.
When someone dies, the envelope gets set down—but that letter, the essence of who they are, still exists. Still has awareness. Still connects to you—the person who knew how to read it best.
That connection doesn’t break. In fact, sometimes it gets stronger, clearer, quieter—but deeper.
Signs, Visits, and “That Was Too Weird to Be Nothing”
You might be wondering, “Okay, how do I know it’s really them and not just me wanting it to be them?”
I get it. I’ve been there.
The key is to look for the unexpected and the meaningful. A cardinal flying right up to your window when you just said their name. The song that plays on the radio the second you start crying. The dream that doesn’t feel like a dream—it feels like a visit.
These aren’t just psychological coping mechanisms. These are what I call soul echoes—responses from the other side. And when they come, you’ll know. Not in your brain—but in your heart, in your bones, in the back of your throat where the tears start.
So… Can They Hear Us?
Yes.
Not like they’ve got spirit ears pressed to a celestial phone line—but yes.
When you talk to them from the heart—when you're real, raw, honest—they hear you. Or maybe better said: they feel you.
And in the quiet moments, when your heart is wide open and you’re not distracted by a hundred little screens, you’ll probably feel them, too.
Want to Strengthen the Connection?
You can. It’s not just for psychics or mediums. Anyone can do it—because this is about love, not magic tricks.
Try one of these:
Say their name out loud. Seriously. It matters.
Write them a letter—just let the pen move.
Ask for a sign. Be specific. Be bold. Then watch.
Light a candle and talk to them like you’re catching up.
Create a little space for silence. That’s often when the messages come through loudest.
(And pro tip: bedtime is golden. That moment just before you fall asleep? That’s when connections happen because there are no other distractions.)
One More Thing Before You Go
If nobody’s told you this today, hear it now:
Your loved ones haven’t left you.
They’re not gone. They’re just on a different frequency.
Think of it like a radio. Just because you’re tuned to FM doesn’t mean AM disappeared—it’s still playing, you just need to shift your dial a bit to hear it.
So go ahead—talk to them.
In your car, in your kitchen, on a walk. Say what’s on your heart. Ask what you need to ask. Say what you wish you’d said.
They’re listening.
And sometimes, if you’re open…
They’ll answer back.
Love never dies.
