This is a question I often get asked. How soon can a spirit communicate after passing over to the spirit world? There is no straight answer but I will attempt to give you a good idea.
It all depends upon how highly evolved a spirit is before they actually come to the earth plane. As I have said before, we all come from the spirit world and choose to come here to the earth plane to learn lessons. The lessons we learn help our spirit to evolve.
Some spirits are far more highly evolved than others. When the well developed spirits come to earth they know how to communicate. Therefore, when they pass and go back home to the spirit world, thye know all about communicating and can do so quite quickly. This can sometimes be on the same day or the day after.
Those psirits who are less highly developed will find it more difficult to communicate with us here on the earth plane. Some will be unable to do so. These spirit entities will often allow another spirit loved one to communicate for them.
So you see, it is never to early to hope for a message from a dead loved one. If they cannot do it themselves they may get help. Never underestimate the spirits who love us. They will work hard to give us proof that their spirit has survived death.
