If I am struggling with depression there is no way I can cope with someone else having it. I have to withdraw from them. My own burden is enough. There are some people who will try to lean on you too heavily. In my youth I had several people like that and eventually I could see how good it would be to have a large medallion around my neck with "NO" written in large letters. Some of us attract lame ducks, but they need to stand on their own feet and take responsibility for themselves. You are doing them no good if you continually prop them up. If you do that they will never learn. There is a sense in which you have to put yourself first, you are responsible for you, not for them.
When we lose a loved one it is natural to wonder how they are faring in the next life. I would warn against going to a medium to find out. At worst these people are charlatans after your money, the rest misguided or worse. We are told in the Bible not to try to reach the dead. The best person to call on in this situation is Jesus. That's right, go to the top. He is always available through prayer and doesn't make a charge. All he requires is that you look for him with all your heart. He has the answers to all of life's difficult questions.
