Yes! Read my recent post "My MIL Made Me Coffee." Huggs, Rainbow

I believe that every person in my life that leaves this world goes to a much better place. I believe they become part of my connection to my higher power. I like to think of them as guardian angels hanging out watching over me. Sometimes I can see the signs that they are in my life protecting me. Other times I don't see the signs. I feel the more I am open to the possibilities of life, the more I am open to the signs my angels send me.

I'll send one of my angels over to help you out.

Huggs,

My mom told me of a story she read in Guidepost magazine called Pennies from Heaven", where passed away loved ones leave pennies in strange places so when found we know it's from them. Well after my son's services my husband, myself and our youngest son went to a restaurant for dinner, when my chair was pulled out there were 2 pennies laying in there and I knew where they came from.(: Sometimes the signs are small, like a smell, a scent of perfume/cologne they wore. It could be just a feeling that they are there. There is no doubt in my mind that they continue to be with us in spirit.

I think that our loved ones sometimes do send a signal we just don't realize. I talk to the birds in the backyard, and the stars, and sometimes just whisper: "Hey, Dad, just look at this will ya?" I have had the feeling my dad and mom were both around during crised, watching to make sure nothing went terribly wrong... not often, and nothing I could put my finger on, but I do feel our loved ones are with us.

i believe a lot like tavavilla...the day i found my mom i went with my fiance to get something to eat and we sat in the park and it was quiet even though people were out walking their dogs, jogging, boating , golfing, etc. and i wondered if she was ok and i looked up in the sky and the clouds had the shape of a huge teddy bear with wings and my fiance can attest to this...my mom loved teddy bears...that was my sign that she was ok and she was looking out for me and my unborn child and they were together at that time....god bless!!

I use my journal as a "phone" to talk to my Dad!
I'm not sure what I would do if i got a comment back that sounded like it was from him, but for now it helps keep me sane...
Your not crazy, your finding your own way to deal with your loss, (((hugs)))

Totally and absolutely they are around and can see us and hear us. I have stories that would take up a book, so I won't even start, but believe me, it's true. Talk to your loved one. Tell him you really want some type of sign from him as soon as he is ready. Even be specific about the sign, although they don't always follow our rules....ask for something like a light coming on at night, or sending a special bird that you will know is from him (for example, a totally white bird in a place that is unusual so you will notice it). Then be patient and very alert...watch and wait. My sister and my mother made a pact about the white bird several years before she died. I have a copy of the picture my sister took when she finally got the white bird....a totally all-white pigeon sitting in the very middle of about 75 dark gray ones...on a trail in Boston....ten hours away from our home. It's amazing. And Mom has sent us tons of signs and has come through a friend of ours who is "sensitive", saying and telling things that only we knew....oh, they are very much alive and very much aware of us, don't feel alone.

I have two examples: A week or two after my oldest son died (just 6 weeks ago), I awoke in the middle of the night after having a very sad dream explaining that I wouldn't be with him anymore; I was crying inconsolably in the dream. But at the same time,I FELT my son's arm around me as he was trying to comfort me.

When my second son died, (15 years ago), a few days after he passed, I dreamt that he walked into our room as usual, came and sat with me on the end of the bed. I held his hand - I felt his long fingers. He looked at me and said "I am dead, huh." I said yes and hugged him tightly. He then went to my nightstand table and rummaged through it's contents. When I awoke, I immediately looked in my nightstand table but I found nothing of significance. When the first Mother's Day without him rolled around, I was feeling very down and crying. For some reason I decided to clean out my nightstand - I found a Mother's Day card that this son had made me when he was younger - it said "I love you Mom". I truly believe both my sons are beside me, that the veil between life and death is "thinner" than we think.

Yes I absolutely believe they are still with us. My anniversary with my boyfriend was 9*11. I have a HUGE collection of 11 cents I have found since he passed away. I find pennies a lot too. I know they are still with us. I believe that whole heartedly!!!

Precious one. My father died in 1973 when I was just 16 years of age. My mom died in 2004. I am now 50. You are my heart. I KNOW, without a doubt, that both my parents are, at least sometimes, of my earthly activities. Both died as Christians. The Bible talks about those who precede us in the faith being our 'cloud of witnesses' who literally cheer us on while we live on earth. I know both my parents are in this cloud of witnesses because they were very influential in my life while living on earth. It's a wonderful thing to write letters to our loved ones who have passed before us. The love in which you write is recognized in heaven...just as our sorrow is recognized. I'd LOVE to speak with you more about this but there isn't enough space for me to share all that I know. I am like you. Desiring a continued connection with those who have passed on before us, leaving their legacies to live on here on earth. Hope to hear from you soon. Diane

Yes, no doubt in my mind. many of us have had "visits' in one way or another. They are always around us , when we think of them they are thinking of us.

I've heard people say they're 'waiting for that email'. I don't think so in that regard. But I do believe the deceased may contact us. I'm praying for a sign, too. I'd be happy just knowing she's safe, and I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to read the signs. I had an experience here this week (won't detail) where my heart nearly left my chest - and I don't know how much coincidence collided with something more.

I noticed "Dutchess" mentioned penny signs. Interesting, since not long after my Mama passed away, we found a penny on the stove...an odd place. I've been told I'd eventually dream about Mom but I won't know how much of that is my own thought patterns in my sleep. I keep sniffing for scent signs or something but don't know if I will be that lucky to have Mama manifest herself in some way. I know my Mama...if she could, she would. I miss her so.

I used to be a skeptic about this very subject but since my mom passed away there have been to many things that I cant explain away...I think the signs are there...sometimes you see them and sometimes you dont.....

I think that they are around. I have lots of dreams...I can really feel my dad at the cemetary. But, I do, wish to hear him talk back...just once. Just so I know he is there and that he is ok.
