I just lost a good friend this weekend from complications with a heart transplant. The funeral was yesterday of which I attended. I thought it odd as to how I was feeling...talk about your 500lb monkey. When I heard about his coma (before actual death), I felt so heavy, so weighed down. The next day I slept almost all day and it took everything I had to move off the couch. This friend and I took Medium classes together and just beginning to use the skill. Anyway, do you have any thoughts on what this heaviness was around me? My guess is, his spirit is heavy/sad because he was not ready to die and I was feeling his sadness? After the funeral, I spoke to him in prayer and released some of my emotional grief and the heaviness subsided but I still have this nagging feeling around me. Another medium at the funeral said she experienced the same thing and had no idea why?  Oftentimes I experience peace when a person passes over, but I feel this person is struggling somehow. Is that weird?
Thank you in advance for your insights and comments.

I can say from experence that being at a funeral is the pits for a sensitive  because you tend to be an emonital sponge. That can make any one feel heavy. because even though you may not be saddened by the passing most others at a funeral are. I have also experinced the feeling that maybe my loved one was having a hard time withtheir own crossing over.I found that when I meditated it helped although I had to work through my grife befor I could make contact with the departed. Just try to communicate with him it mite help. I know it did for me and untill she gave ;me her message I was not able to sleep and I felt like I was wearing led shoes (hugs to you in your time of sarrow)

I'm sorry for your loss.  Funeral homes are magnets for lost souls, could be there were still other spirits hanging around.   Many who have passed do watch their funeral.  Perhaps your friend needs a little push since there is some sort of fear that is holding him back.  In your prayers ask for his loved ones that have already crossed to help him go into the light, better yet, if he had a pet ask for that animal to come forth.  There is nothing better than a beloved pet coming to greet you, and all hesitations fall away much easier. 
In the meantime - you may have picked up on other spirits who are drawn to your energy as your aura may be weakened by your grief.  If you have some sage, smudge around you.  A cleansing shower can also help - just imagine the water washing away whatever negative vibes you have picked up. 
I hope this works - if not please let me know as I am part of a spirit release group.  Blessings to all -

Thank you all for your suggestions. Itwould make sense that I would pick up grieving spirits at the funeral home but the heaviness began 2 days before I went to the funeral. After the funeral I did pray to him and his Mother. I asked her to help him to cross over. I have released the heaviness, so something I did worked.
Thank you all again!!
sincerely

Kathy, my sympathy for your loss.  It's very hard to lose someone so close, especially with such conditions. I agree with what other people are saying about how you were more than likely picking up on everyone else's grief and the sadness of the souls around.

One way to help through the heaviness is a cleansing ceremony. Or, what has always helped me, write a letter and send it to the breezes.
Here's what I do.
1. In the evening, go outside if you can, and light a small stick of incense and a white candle. 
2. Write a letter to the person who passed. Let them know how much you miss that person, but how you are happy that they are in a better place.  Pour out your heart with caring words. Then, finish the letter with you love and gratitude for their friendship.  It's best that you make sure you let that person know that even though they are gone, their friendship will never be forgotten.
3. Place the letter in a fireproof bowl and set it on fire with the candle. 
4.  Once it is in ashes, blow the letter onto the wind, watch it travel the smoky path of the incense.
5.  As you see the ashes blow away, picture your letter making its astral journey to your loved one.
6. Let the candle blow out on it's own, same with the incense.  You can stay there and watch and meditate, or you can go back into the house.
7.  If you can't go outside to do this, you can do it inside, just make sure you have water nearby just in case. You will have to go outside though to put the ashes on the wind.

I hope this helps. Caring thoughts for you.

So sorry for your loss. I get the feeling that the sadness is yours at the situation , but that your friend awaits you to over come your grief, and be ready to continue with your lessons. It feels as though this is part of both of your journies to discovering the truth. Your friend is not lost to you but waiting to have you open to contact and to reach deeper into your intuition to follow where you left off....
