Grief is an inevitable part of human life, especially after the loss of a loved one.

In the United States, around 2.5 million people pass away each year, leaving an impact on an average of five grieving individuals. Yet, each person navigates loss differently, shaping their unique journey through grief.

As grief takes varied forms in individual experiences, experts like Dr. Lenore Matthew are stepping forward to reshape the landscape of grief healing.

After her own psychic abilities unexpectedly awoke following her late husband's passing, her professional path took an unexpected turn. Blending her research-focused academic background with intuitive and spiritual insights, she offers a unique take on therapeutic relief for loss and grief.

Dr. Matthew challenges conventional beliefs that write off mediumship and intuitive abilities as imagined or "woo-woo." Advocating for the recognition of intuitive abilities as powerful tools for human well-being and healing, Dr. Matthew encourages individuals to tap into their inner intuitions to connect with those who have passed away. This perspective, grounded in scientific principles, exceeds common limitations by providing practical techniques for individuals navigating loss.

According to Dr. Matthew, "Connection to our intuitive abilities positively impacts key mental health indicators including joy, hope, connection to self, connection to others, and having a positive outlook on life. Connection to our intuitive abilities also decreases anxiety, loneliness, hopelessness, and depression. Human wellness and consciousness are much larger than most Western conceptualizations of humanity, mental health, and well-being allow for. Intuitive abilities and connection to something bigger are the new way forward in mental health."

Through her research lab, Dr. Matthew also conducts research grounded in this perspective. Her study on adult mediumship awakenings after loss explores the phenomenon of people suddenly opening up to their ability of mediumship after their loved one has passed away. It was unveiled at the 65th Annual Parapsychological Association Convention in Oslo, Norway. This study, based on in-depth interviews with 31 participants, emphasizes the positive impact of newfound intuitive abilities on mental health and grief.

In addition to her research, Dr. Matthew also offers Continued Connection, a groundbreaking program that helps people connect to their departed loved ones to heal through grief.

A few individuals share their experiences working with Dr. Matthew, such as Jessica, in her words, "I have been able to heal and find clarity around my husband's sudden passing. For the first time since my husband passed, I felt closer and more connected to him. There was a sense of clarity, which has allowed me to heal through my grief."

And as Dana states, "Through Lenore's program, I've learned to trust in myself and my abilities. I've learned that not only are they present, but they're accurate. The program has helped ground me. It has helped me believe in myself and my abilities. It has provided me with a sense of empowerment in my life and in my ability to trust in my decisions and my connections with loved ones on the other side. It has helped me gain confidence and appreciate a sense of comradery with those special souls who also want to grow their intuitive gifts."

Such testimonials showcase the transformative effects of integrating intuitive methods along with clinical methods into the bereavement recovery journey. These accounts challenge the notion that instinctual experiences are mere hallucinations, illustrating their positive influence on mental wellness.

While distress often follows expected life events, Dr. Lenore Matthew advocates for a fresh perspective that integrates intuitive abilities into healing processes. Her contributions lay the groundwork for a deeper understanding of grief processes, guiding those seeking answers beyond conventional methods. She encourages individuals to integrate both scientific and spiritual aspects into their journey, fostering holistic wellness.
