Seeing signs from deceased loved ones

Hi everyone. I'm sure that there have already been many forum threads on this topic, but I'm really curious to hear about your experiences.

When you lost someone close to you, did you see signs? I've heard of feathers, electronic disturbances etc. but I've never had a conversation in the real world with anyone about it.

I'm not exactly an atheist - my boyfriend says I'm an agnostic atheist or something...in other words, I don't subscribe to any organized religion, but can accept that we just don't have very many answers to a lot of things, so I'm open.

I just find this all very interesting! I'm really not the kind of person to believe in any of this kind of stuff, but I will share the things that I have experienced (and a few things my sister has mentioned)

The last day my mother was alive, my sister went to say good bye with her children. She said that when she left the hospital, across the street there was loud jazz music playing from someones house. It startled her, because jazz was my mothers favourite. Throughout her illness I would play her jazz music on my phone. In her last couple of days I asked her for special requests and she said "Charlie Bird" (a jazz musician).

The day after she passed my sister noticed a white feather in her jacket. I had heard about the feather phenomenon, but didn't say anything to her. She wasn't aware of any kind of meaning. It was just funny to me, she offhandedly said "where did this feather come from?" or something like that...I just shrugged. But I never forgot it.

At my mothers funeral and visitation, I played music by Charlie Bird on my bluetooth speaker. A week later I popped into a second hand store, and right above the cash was a Charlie Bird record. 

I have witnessed some weird bird activity outside my condo townhouse. There aren't many birds in the area, a few crows, robins and various small birds here and there. But mostly squirrels. A few times since she has passed I have heard a loud gathering of birds right by my house. Hundreds of them in a tree, or on the ground right by my deck, making quite the racket. One time my boyfriend noticed and he said "wow, that's weird...we don't normally see birds here". I teared up and said "it's my mother". 

I've had weird experiences suddenly smelling things that aren't there, one time it was peaches and another time strawberries. The best way I can describe it is like a halucination only with smelling not visual. I've never had that before she passed. She used to make peach pies when they were in season, and she was obsessed with buying strawberries every week.

Sorry if this is a bit long. I hope some of you will share some of your experiences.

  • People who haven lost someone your very close too won’t understand why when we see little things (meaningless to them) mean soo much to us eg.the white fish and my feathers/ sun beams...... I love getting those little signs as it reminds me that my sister is near and looking over me. They are also my good luck charms

  • my dh of 50 years this month, died in Nov.2019, he had been ill for some time.. I popped in here to tell you how I have felt him near me,, even just now.. feeling a bit sad having seen a pkt of Bread sauce in the pantry, something he liked... telling my friend, via email,, and I felt his arms around my shoulder ..

    came to tell you that,, but then, as i write this,, I recall I kept telling him, as a joke really, that is how we were... that he had to stay well, ie. alive, till Jan. 31st our 50th wedding anniversary,, just recalled this, and wondering if indeed he is telling me he is still here.

     

    I had to describe myself as  a widow when speaking on the phone to the Pension people,  they asked me my marital status as part of security!! I ask you, I said married, the person on the phone did not like that answer.. I added well he has just died.. she said "widow"  I don`t like that, I am still married to him. 

     

    I am a Christian, we are told not this sort of stuff, but I am feeling him around me.... so there.

  • Hi yes there are signs for example my father in law died and me and my husband were visiting his coffin the body was laying down and the spirit of him sat up !!

    i said to my husband can you see what I can see? He said you see it too I say yes so the Jehovah witness are wrong there is a spirit that live on after death and that was my proof i

     not a  JW but I used to study with them and there total but nuts !!

    i know for certain anyway as I died when I was young only for about 2 minutes or longer a Near Death Experience you have heard of people speak of these well i am one who experienced this at age 8 years old I woke up through a operation and sat up while drs were still operating on me once they realised I was awake they pushed me down and put the mask over my face before I knew it I was above my body body on the ceiling I thought who’s that laying there it was me I looked around and saw that the heart monitor had flat line then I whooshed through a tunnel to see people at the side of the tunnel my life flashed before me in seconds the light was coming towards me and I saw the light of god and it spoke to me saying it’s not your time there were relatives behind a golden heavenly gate saying Karen what are you doing here I said who are you he said your uncle George to cut a neat Death Experience short I wasn’t even born when I uncle died as when they brought me back Which the doctors did I found out that my nan had a brother called George and he died before I was born so when I came back everything happened the same through the tunnel again flashes of my life and this time a thump back into my body so yes I do believe in life after death and there is a god and he is a energy of loving light and now o believe heaven is a actual planet separated from Earth there is a replica of Earth in Heaven as recently scientists have found out that there is life in the galaxy and they can’t understand where this source of energy is coming from within space o actually do think they are picking up on a signal from heaven take care from Karen Amanda 

  • Sorry for the small mistakes when I wrote this !!

  • I have a very recent experience. I lost my mum 4 years ago. I usually talk to her in my head telling her I miss her etc... been doing this since the day she died. Last week I asked if she could hear me could she give me a sign. A few days later I was getting my boy ready for nursery and I seen what looked like a kind of light moving across the wall, at first going up and down the  along. My son seen it too. Was a dark morning, it wasn't a reflection off anything. I truly believe it was her giving me a sign. I'm not religious in the slightest but as someone said, energy doesn't die. Our body just carries around, it's a vessel. Our energy, who we are can't die, just the body. 

  • Hi i said that i didnt make it up how great you got a sign theres more going on in this universe than we will ever know or are ment to at least not till its our time anyway but not just yet eh your mum and dad made you to have a great life .  Paul

  • Defo Paul. As you say, only when it's our time will we truly know. Hope we have a LOT of years here before we get to fund out though

  • Hi Serapine8,

    My Mum died a few days ago she suffered for months bless her they called me to the home and I went immediately when I arrived Mum had just passed they left my Son alone with me in the room to have some private time I was in denial as Mum was still a bit warm in places I thought she might be in a sleep I kissed her and hugged her I was crying and kept saying Mumwake up wake up tears streaming down my face my Son said while I kissed her and cried over her he heard a voice in his head that said to him "Look after her" I said I was sure Mum knew we were there, I hope so, I felt so guilty I didn't get to her before she passed, yes, my Son heard a voice talk to him, It must have been Mum.

  • Hi Sarah, 

    I always thought that it was complete rubbish if I'm. honest, people clawing at darkness to find anything to make them feel better, but in May my best friend died. When we buried him, his favourite colour was red so we put red roses on his coffin. A couple months later I loaded a world of minecraft that me and him used to play, I walked around the house we built together and whn I got to his room he made, a red rose was on his bed, I don't know how it stayed there for so long as things dissappear after you drop them in minecraft, but there it was. That hit me very hard and sometimes I think it's him and sometimes I don't but, I really hope it is ️

  • Hi a very close friend died suddenly last week of heart failure. He was just 45. He was a man mountain and a gentle giant. We’d been so very close for 20 years. Previous to his death I’d added a 70s song on Spotify ‘Hello Its Me’ by Todd Rungren as the lyrics described us completely. I’d never heard it previously as it’s not a well known song and rarely broadcasted. We’d always chatted by phone on Saturday mornings and last weekend when I was thinking of him at that time the same song suddenly started playing on an internet radio site. I’m convinced he was sending a message that he was with me then and I felt his presence in the room. I just sobbed all the way through.
