Best Questions to Ask a Medium About a Deceased Loved One or Spirit Guides
What are the best questions to ask a medium about a deceased loved one or your spirit guides?
Here are practical examples to help you connect with passed loved ones through a medium.
- Can you show me proof and signs from deceased loved ones that you're still around in spirit?
- What is he or she doing now, and what does it look like where they are?
- Take it further: Have you met in past lives? What was your connection, and what did you want to learn from each other in this lifetime?
- Have they met anyone close to their heart who passed before them?
- Ask for their advice: Do I need to pay extra attention to something in my life that I'm unaware of?
Passed loved ones often have so much more to share beyond your questions.
They love bringing up happy memories you shared. They see the big picture—your entire life, past, and future.
So make a list before your medium reading, and think about what you want to ask.
During the session, you have direct access to information that can genuinely transform your life.
Is It Okay to 'Disturb' a Deceased Loved One?
This is a huge misconception. When someone passes, they only leave their body behind. That's it. Their soul is still present—and not against their will.
They want to stay close and help you. Their love is eternal. Connecting with deceased loved ones is always welcomed.
How Long After Death Can You Contact a Loved One Through a Medium?
If someone had a complicated life, they may not connect right away—they're reviewing it all: what they did, how they felt, and the choices they made.
They look at their life frame by frame to understand and grow, with loving, patient guidance.
For long illnesses, addictions, or sudden deaths, they need time to heal emotionally (not physically—they leave the body on Earth).
How quickly afterlife communication happens varies, but spirits often reach out soon after transitioning.
Choose a Specific Sign from Your Deceased Loved One
Talk to your loved one and pick an object: a flower, animal, rainbow—whatever feels right to you. Say: "Whenever I see this, it's a sign from heaven that you're with me right now."
Your loved one doesn't care what it is; it's about you knowing they can reach you. "See? I did that! I left my body, but not my soul. I'm still here."
It's meant to bring a smile—a wink from above. Try it yourself and start recognizing signs from deceased loved ones everywhere!
Best Questions to Ask a Medium About a Loved One: A True Story
I have a very dear friend who lost the person who meant everything to her—her son. We had so many long phone conversations about his passing. During our talks, he was always present, sharing incredible details.
He spoke about past lives and her role in them. They were connected across lifetimes. He described our world and his, and even why he passed (by suicide).
This brought my friend profound understanding and peace through the medium reading.
She Saw His Signs Everywhere
His stepfather smells him from time to time. His mom wanted a clear sign, so she chose an elephant as their specific sign from a deceased loved one.
In the weeks and months after: elephants on trucks, billboards, even a grave that looked like a rock from afar—but up close, it was an elephant.
One moment stood out. In church, she lit a candle for her son, overwhelmed with grief and sobbing. She turned and bumped into a man behind her.
Apologizing, she glanced at his T-shirt: a massive elephant print. Goosebumps everywhere! Right after asking for a sign from heaven that he was still there.
For spirits, it's effortless: they give a sudden urge to look left or right—and there’s the sign. No coincidences!
Spirits orchestrated that man lighting a candle and standing close so she'd see it. They love these moments as much as we do.
Ask for your own signs from passed loved ones and watch.

Reviews
Thank you so much for your reading and thank you for sending the recordings.
It's wonderful to be able to listen to everything again. I've been able to place some of the names you mentioned using a family tree, so special!
I hope you have a nice day, till next time. Love, C
She was able to tell me about my maternal and paternal lineages, my soulmate, whom I’m meant to meet someday, and my ancestors who tried to break cycles but couldn’t.
She also explained why my soulmate chose this life and shared insights about some of my past lives, not all, but the few she saw made perfect sense for me.
I received so much confirmation and understanding about my family history, which has helped me see them in a new light and will guide me on my journey.
She also predicted amazing things about my future goals while acknowledging the importance of free will. I’m genuinely so happy to have found a truly gifted person.Her book is also amazing, honest, inspiring, and full of powerful stories that had me in shock every few pages, lol.
Thank you, Ms. Barbara and Ben. I wish you both so much prosperity and peace in all that you do. Sabrina
I cannot express in human words how beautiful Barbara’s energy is. I can’t describe the amount of love that she shares. She is truly of divine beauty and gifted without any doubt.
I have had contact with several other mediums, BUT I have never felt such love & compassion as I have felt with Barbara and her messages! She is truly of angelic grace and guidance. Please do not hesitate to get out to her for a reading! I
promise it will change your life. I’m forever changed by corresponding & exchanging with her. She’s a fantastic soul, and I can’t speak highly enough of my experience with her. Melinda
With love,
Barbara (and Ben)
