Bouncing back from the Dead

There are times, I admit that I am exhausted by my work. I try to keep in mind that it seems to be so healing for so many people. I find myself sometimes falling into a funk as I spend more time talking to the dead, than the living.
I'm coming out of one of these funks and I'm more content with my work lately than I have been in a while.
Why is it that some people can do this and why some can't.
I used to be an atheist and I was happy as one. Now I've found spirituality, but the extremes from being a complete non-believer to now knowing there is an afterlife is quite drastic.
I worked only a wee bit this past week. I'm pasing myself these days as last summer/fall I completely over did it.
I have to say though, that when I meet people that have never in their life sat with a medium, it becomes pretty interesting. I get the wide eyed look, and if I told them sometimes I can read their minds, they might go running out of the door. I used to do it for fun, people then would ask me, 'ok so what was I just thinking'? I'd tell them and most of the time I'd be spot on. For some people it can be rather freaky. For me it's normal. Now though I've come to a point where I don't do it as much. I don't really want to know what people are thinking.
It sounds a little like the show on NBC Hero's. There is a guy there that reads peoples minds. I can relate to that.

The only thing I'd like to talk about here now, is what does one do, when you know a woman is being beaten at home. Do you come right out and say it, or do you paraphrase it in such a way that it's hopefully understood. I had that happen this week, a woman came to see me, and I could see her daughter being beaten by her spouse. They are seperated, but I had a hard time because this was only er mother, to come out and say it. If it would have been the daughter herself, I would have been more expressive.
One time I saw a family that had broken up, and the father in the family was praying on young boys on the internet. The daughter who came to see me, broke down as it was all still so raw and emotional for her. I don't remember who communicated this information, but I remember vividly what I was shown with the computer screen and the young boys.
Thank god, I've never experienced anything like that myself.

I wish we as the human race could be a little kinder to one another when the going gets really tough. It pays in the end
