For me #1 was yes because he saw the SOB/POS aim the gun at him and he tried to run in the building but it was already too late
#2 I think they do
#3 I think they do
#4 It's been 27 months for me and I still 'talk' to him and I think/feel he can hear and I feel he 'talks' back and it makes me feel better! If I'm really feeling down I'll hold the urn like I'm really holding him.

I think we all have thought in one form or another if we'd said/done something they'd still be around, but there was nothing we could have...

Is death the end, or a new beginning. I don't know, and no one categorically knows which is part of the human condition. I would like to think something better awaits our loved ones, rather than hanging around us and this earth with all the death and sadness we are experiencing. I would want my wife to be somewhere much happier than this place.

I don't have an answer for your first question. My situation is different, my husband died from cancer so he knew but a sudden death I'm not sure-good question. And for the next three questions I believe yes they know we miss them, they see our tears and they hear us when we talk to them.

it is all in what you believe... i want to believe that all is true

I am so very sorry for your loss. My husband died 9/30/15 30 days after a sudden cardiac arrest. I have done much reading about the afterlife and people's experiences with near deaths. I have read books by mediums and spoken to 4 different ones. Not everyone agrees with this but this is my journey. I am at peace and believe my husband sends me signs, even to this day. It helped me early on to make that connection and find peace about where he is. I believe they are at peace and can see us. Do some research for yourself so you can find your answers. Do I know for sure, no but I've never seen God and yet I believe in him. I wish you peace Marybeth

My wife of 19 years past away March 30th. I truly know your pain. Last 8 months have been hell. I do 100% believe they are here and know how we feel. Two separate times the lights in my downstairs bathroom have flickered. Once while I was crying while looking at her pictures on my phone. Then a few months later I looked up at the light and said ok honey, do it again. It immediately flicked again. Made the hair stand up on my back of my heck! lol. Dosent take away the loneliness or the pain, but dies give me comfort knowing she is here with our two daughter & I.

my husband also died in an auto accident.

Yes they hear us, really dont think they miss us, but they always remember us. Pardon me to those who are of different faiths. Remember where they are now at, is a happy place, not sad, or lonely, or angry place. My youngster, one day, I asked her, do you think daddy misses us, she retorted without even a pause, no momma he doesnt miss us, he remembers us Yes, they know how they died. They are also present during their funerals, from what Ive been told. Although they are not there physically, their energy/spirit is still here, but it takes alot of energy to be able to send messages, or communicate. Don't doubt what is in your heart, not matter what it is. Much love and hugs carla

A lot of people say they don't miss us, but who really knows? Does anyone really know? I do feel my wife when she is around. She has flickered the bathroom lights twice now. If she didn't miss my kids & I, then why is she comming around?

Because I have belief in a higher power I believe that they have the ability to feel our emotions like happiness, sadness, lonely and anger. Its not in judgementioned but in love waiting for us to recognize the part of them that remains. I lost my husband of 40 years nearly 10 years ago. I feel his love still. I have found that a year times I can feel him speak with adv0. No I'm not weird do, I'm aware of more than what I see. Sharon

To answer the questions you wanted opinions for my answer is yes. Each question-yes. Any information with no conceivedoubt notions in time you will hear and feel more. It didn't happen immediately, and I don't know at what or when I became aware of his presence. Guess he needed to wait for me to be open to the possibility. Sharon

Many thanks to everyone who responded!! Reading your responses has helped me feel better!

I have to kind of clarify.. I believe our missing is not the same as theirs.. their missing us, is the remembrance of our love.. and our missing them, is not having them to hold, love and talk to. But they are always there when we need them. Excuse my stupid explaination of them not missing us. Im so sorry if I offended or caused anyone to be defensive.. my apologies.. much love and hugs carla

p.s. some of my friends know the story.. I died when I was 15 1/2, my appendix ruptured. and I was pronounced dead for over 20 minutes.. I didnt want to come back. I felt so much love and just an euphoric happiness, warmth. I believe I went to what some call "heaven", or the hereafter, etc... mind you I wasnt there for too long, but I do believe they can see, feel, and know what and how we are feeling. I dont remember leaving my body, but I watched my soul/spirit go back into my deceased body. I also remember everything all the nurses, and staff were saying after I died, and right before I came back.....
