Editorial Book Review:

By Fabiana Barbery

The question in the title is doing more work than it might first appear. Why not? It is the question Malia Kakos asked herself when she finally stopped dismissing the gift she had carried since childhood and started taking it seriously. It is also the question she extends to grieving people who are curious about spirit connection but hesitant, who wonder whether it is legitimate, whether it conflicts with their existing beliefs, whether it could actually help. Her answer, offered with the warmth of someone who has lost many of her own loved ones and speaks from that place, is a gentle and well-reasoned yes.

What makes Why Not? genuinely distinctive in the growing conversation about mediumship and grief is the way Kakos positions spirit connection. Not as a replacement for grief counseling, therapy, or any established form of support, but as a complement to it. That framing is both intellectually honest and practically important. Grief is not a problem that one modality solves, and Kakos knows that. She spent fifteen years as an attorney before answering the call to mediumship, and that background shows in how carefully she frames her arguments and how seriously she takes the responsibility of working with people in the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

The personal dimension running through the book gives it a texture that purely instructional guides about mediumship rarely achieve. Kakos writes from inside the experience of loss, and that shared humanity is what makes her invitation to consider spirit connection feel like something extended in genuine care rather than professional promotion. She is not selling a service. She is sharing something that helped her, describing how it might help others, and respecting the reader's right to draw their own conclusions.

For anyone navigating grief who is open to exploring every available avenue of healing, and for grief care professionals looking to understand the experiences their clients are bringing to sessions, this book is a thoughtful and compassionate guide to territory that is rarely discussed this honestly.
