I am Linda M Hughes, psychic medium and personal coach. I work with people who are struggling from the loss of a loved one. I guide them through a series of Action Steps that help them regain a sense of peace over the things that they have no control over and can never change. And then I offer them Steps in how to create the next best version of themselves.
Death is a natural part of life, we all intellectually know and even say this, until it takes the ones we love the most. Then the detached nature of it all becomes deeply personal, devastatingly emotional and totally life changing. This life change happens whether we wanted it to change or not. In the space of one final heart beat, a person we loved, cherished and held considerable space in our world is gone. We, the survivors lose control over our own lives, the world turns upside down and will never be the same again.
In 2018, as a mother, I always figured it would be my Son at my deathbed, rather than me at his. That was the proper order of things, right? Evidently not, I realized as the world crashed down around me.
In 2021, as a wife, I always figured my Husband and I would go together. It never occurred to me how or why, just that it would. And when I stood at his deathbed, what was left of my world shattered into a million pieces.
In 2016, the blood froze in my veins and stopped my beating heart as I heard my nephew tell me over the phone that my beloved sister had slipped away into the forever night, bringing an end to a well fought battle for life. And then in the summer of 2025, this same nephew joined her.
In 2008 and 2024, as a daughter, I cried a thousand tears for the loss of my Dad and then my Mom, the 2 people I loved the most in my entire life.
Then, enough was enough. In 2021 found/took the training to become a Medium so that I could connect with my deceased loved ones. Although not for everyone, I then learned how to connect you with your deceased loved ones, what I now label as Step 2 in rebuilding our inner lives after loss.
It has never been my experience to accept living less than what I could. So I just kept studying, trying, experimenting, failing, finally succeeding on how to regain my equilibrium. From there, I taught myself how to manage grieving while creating a new life.
I then moved into finding solid ground from which I could then start over. Weird quirk about me, is that I have been a personal coach my whole adult life and always learn as if I were teaching it to someone else. So, I kept doing what I always do. I created the Steps that I needed and I now offer them to you.
As we get to know each other, I will encourage you to tell me your story. And I will share the parts of mine that might help you get through your dark times. It is also my goal to create a community from those of us who want to live through and beyond those dark times together.
Just as night is followed by day, you can survive this and awaken into the next best version of you. I know this to be true for myself, so come on, give me your attention and I will walk you through the Steps!
Rebuild Your Inner Life After Loss
Step 1– Surviving The Recent Loss Of A Loved One
Need Relief From The Grief Of Losing A Loved One?
Although grief is different for everyone,
I recommend this step 1-3 mos after losing a loved one.
We start with a quick assessment,
start unraveling knots in your stomach & heart
& begin learning ways to cope with the days ahead.
I will show you how I took control over myself to survive the things
that I had no control over and would never be able to change.
With your permission, I will guide you into doing this for yourself.
Most importantly, this may give your grief a place to stay when the rest of your life demands your attention.
Step 2 - Connecting With Your Deceased Loved One:
This Connection is also known as a "Medium Reading".
Please wait 3 months after your loss, to schedule your reading .
There are several reasons for this, the most important of which is
to give yourself the time to deal with all the more immediate needs.
Although not for everyone or required to continue learning about

this connection is one of the most healing things you can do for yourself and your Loved One.
