I have been working over the last few months on connecting to ancestors and loved ones, asking for guidance, talking to them, and generally trying to be a comfort and let them know I am with them. I don’t ask for signs or anything and don’t feel the need to see “proof” because I mostly want to be there for them and just ask them to help me make good decisions and sometimes I ask them look after others who are still alive. I believe they hear me, but I have never reached out with a real intention of having contact with one specific person.
Yesterday, a friend shot himself during a horrible emotional moment. I am hurting so bad for him because of how dark things must have been for him and how scared and alone he must be right now, and I want to comfort him and let him know I’m sorry and that if he needs to tell me anything, I’m open to hearing him.
I usually use certain candles and I have my own little ritual, but because this time will be different and the energy already feels intense, I want to both protect myself and my space and also make sure he’s comforted and held in a loving space and that whatever messages I need to relay or receive are clear.
If there is anything you suggest, I am open to tips or helpful protocols that I can implement for this. A friend (the one who told me he died–she was actually much closer to him and she is with his mom right now) is going to be doing this with me, but I’ll be the one leading it, so I want to do a good job for her and for him. Tbh, I’m a bit scared and I tend to keep my practices light and keep myself mostly focused on speaking to people, rather than listening on purpose, so if nothing else, words and phrases I might use to keep myself protected would be helpful to know.

Feel free to ask me any questions and if you want, do so by private message.

It is probable.that he already crossed. Most souls cross immediately.. He will be in transition and it may be more difficult to reach him,
It can be done. A caution. Please do be aware that you want to release whatever you do so that you do not risk holding him back from transitioning and healing. It is about him and his needs.
If he chooses to come fine. If he chooses not to come, you cannot force him to do so. Please have his best interests at heart.

Think of him as being on the other side of a thin, thin, veil. We are told that the next world is as close as our life vein. You can pray for him, his advancement through the worlds of God, spirit worlds, what ever you want. Tell him what is on your heart, you miss him etc. You do not need any rituals, dogmas, etc, those are for you to feel comfortable and at ease with what you are doing. There is no need for that. Talk to him as if he is right in front of you, which he probably is. Learn to quite your mind by using meditation, or just be a in quiet place, give him permission to talk to you, invite him to talk to him, and then just wait and listen, wait for signs in the physical world, things that mean something to him, acknowledge them, thank him for coming to him, and be assured you are helping him in the next world.

Are you willing to assist him in crossing over?
