I believe in angels who surround us and help us with our problems. Your angel husband could very well have fixed this for you. I'm happy it happened for you.

Typical woman, the guy leaves paradise to fix her radio and she complains that he didonn't get to it soon enough.

Now maybe he had to wait for parts to fix it...LOL Whatever I am happy that your radio i working again. Hugs to you

I believe in "signs", and since The Wise One died, I've had many. The first was a little pale frog who decided to spend day upon day on my gate. The only other frog who has done that came shortly after my brother died and stayed for a few days and then left...that was in 2000 and I've never had one there since (or before in the 35 years we've lived here). This new little guy stayed, only leaving for a day or two, from the week after my loss until just last Tuesday (10/25)...it's getting too cold for any self-respecting frog to linger. This is the gate we're in and out of all the time, it sticks and we have to bump it to get it open sometimes...he never budged. And when I was on the patio, I could swear he was watching me. This is one definition of Frog Medicine in Animal Totems:

Water Medicine - A symbol of initiation and transformation. Cleaning out negativities and distractions, and replacing them with positive energy. Joy in a new cycle of life. Being reborn after a period of seeming- death, when undergoing an initiation of transformation. Beginning a new life cycle by dispensing with negative thoughts and deeds.

A few days after his passing, I went out to feed the birds. The sun was shining against a crisp, clear blue sky and I was crying. I paused to look up and coming from my right was a "v" of snow geese, probably about fifteen, flying slowly and gently across to the south...they were so low and it was so clear that I could see the black tips on their wings. These geese have always been special to me and he knew that. Why that morning? I've seen them many times...but that morning when I needed him so badly? I think I know.

Just a couple of things that have happened since my love, my life had to leave me, and I can't help but think that someone, something, somewhere, maybe even himself, is sending these "signs" to let me know that he's okay and that I will be okay, too. We were that close, after 48 years together, that I simply can't doubt the meaning of the stuff going on around me. That's just me, but I think many of you understand where I'm coming from...and I understand about your radio, (((Mgould)))!

Yes, I believe it was 'help from above",. I wholeheartedly belive in signs form our loved ones, and have had many from Greg since he passed. too many to list!

Glad the radio was fixed, and glad you are 'hearing in a different frequency". !!! ;-)

and Sal, THAT WAS AWESOME!!! lol We are NEVER JUST HAPPY HUH?!?!? lol lol lol thank you for the laugh!!!

HUGS to all Diane

Real funny Sal - but you're right - guess it is just like a woman.

Dreamer40 - Just want to tell you something I wrote in here about a year ago. They had in the newspaper where I live a story of a soldier who died in Afganistan. His favorite hobby was duck hunting. The day of his funeral there was a procession from the funeral home to the burial site - a few miles. The paper said a flock of ducks followed the hearse in a V formation all the way. Said it was a remarkable sight.

Now I don't feel so bad about my other post. Yeah, there is some connection to us from them. I was taught that if you believe and keep an open mind you will eventually pick up a message. But if your mind is closed then whether there really is something or not, you would never know it.

Definitely. I still rely on my husband's help in many things - and I get it!

Thank you, Mgould...as I said before, I believe in "signs".

I do wonder about this. It has been thirteen weeks for me and many days are very very hard. A couple of nights ago I was in tears nearly all day. I had just been to the bathroom and tidied up a little as a friend was visiting in a couple of days and since he passed away I have let everything get quite messy and dirty. Outside of the bathroom is a table with a lamp that is not working and not plugged in at the wall. I had put a couple of things on the table while I cleaned up the basin. When I had finished I returned the things and placed them on the basin. I went downstairs and watched tv and after an hour or so I heard a substantial noise coming from the bathroom. It was noticeable not to be just the house creaking, it was like someone dropped something. I lay on the lounge for about five minutes wondering what it could be.

Let me tell you that where the bathroom and table are there are no windows. There is a window in the room where the table was but it was definitely closed. The cord from the lamp had fallen on to the wooden floor making the noticeable noise (that is all I could put it down to). Yes, I had put some items on the table while I cleaned but I still couldn't understand why it took about an hour for it to fall off the table when there was no wind or anything on the table that could push it off (unless you count still objects that I had left there like a cake of soap and a bottle of detergent).

Of course my immediate thought was that it must have been leaning on the edge of the table and gravity made it fall. But it had been over an hour since I had moved anything on the table and there seemed to be no factors like wind or movement.

So I wonder if maybe it was a sign from my partner. Don't know. He used to be very particular about cleaning and would always have a go at me for never doing things properly. We have two bathrooms in the apartment and this was the one I used. He always thought I never kept it clean enough. And yes, when I did clean it that evening it was not a thorough clean. Maybe he was telling me to come back and clean it. It certainly got me thinking

I hope people dont think I am crazy now that I typed the above post. Sometimes I havewondered if he is around and sending signs but generally believe that the spirit moves on and is somewhere else now.

Maybe the cord had been sitting on the edge of the table and it simply fell off. I will never know

Nothing nearly as dramatic as a car radio suddenly blasting out tunes again,but my wifes perfume has been making frequent visits to my nose.I know they say our senses become more aware but i will enter the bedroom or just be lazy on the couch and the scent of 1 of her perfumes will hit me.It is not a constant smell every time i enter the bedroom or crash on the couch but a reminder that my baby is close by.Signs? It does make you think whats happening on the other side.

Russ...even if the cord had been sitting on the edge of the table, "something" made it fall off, right? I believe that a person's spirit goes elsewhere, too, but I also believe that when two people are very close and one passes on, part of that spirit stays around simiply because they are already a part of you. I feel that way about my husband, so when these "signs" happen I'm not surprised in the least. Trust me, kiddo...no one here thinks you're "crazy"...far from it! :)

I have had a lot of signs. Right after Jim died when I went to the funeral home to make arrangements the door to the room he died in that I closed was open when I came home. This happened twice. Then one of my kitchen lights was flickering and my Dad said to me you had better call an electrician, I said no it's Jim. It works fine now. So many signs in the 2 1/2 years he has been gone. Now I have a friend who is a widow and she has had few. She's not as open to them. I do realize that some things I have considered signs might not be but if half of them are I have gotten plenty.
