Hearing from a loved one

 I kind of had a weird experience this morning before I woke up at 7 .  Well it woke me up . It was my late husband who passed away September 2019 I was holding his hand I could feel it was real and his other hand was stroking my arm he was leaning over me and said he missed me . I cannot get it out of my head it’s been upsetting me all day  I know it wasn’t a dream . Has anyone has similar experience?

  • Hello victoria2424, this is the first time I've replied to anyone.  A long time ago our first baby was born, he had transposition of the great arteries, called holts orem syndrome, and was very sick.   To cut a long story short, after a long time in hospital he died when he was seven months old and we were absolutely heartbroken.  One night I woke up and he was beside me.  He was wearing a white gown and was looking at me.  One of the problems he had had was his radius was missing in his right arm, but when I saw him that night he was well and his arm was a normal length.  Joseph would now be 31, we went on to have twins by IVF and all is well.   But I have never forgotten that night and I've told many people.  It was a great moment in my life and gave me comfort.  I hope that your experience will also give you comfort.  Sorry this was so long.  

  • Hello, I've had EXACTLY the same thing! My mum died on the 2nd of October this year. I am an only child and feel her loss greatly. A couple of weeks ago early morning, I woke up with the sensation that my mum was holding my hand, I could feel her hand firm and warm in mine. I laid there thinking I mustn't open my eyes because she will go away. I didn't feel like it was a dream, I felt like I was awake. I eventually opened my eyes and wasn't sure what had happened, and told myself I must have been daydreaming in that period between waking and sleeping. Unfortunately I did not feel her speaking to me or reassuring me, it was just mum holding my hand. I do not believe in an afterlife, and I'm not at all religious. I wish I were, it would bring me comfort. However, then I read your post and now don't know what to think.

  • Hi Tina

    Firstly sorry for your loss too in this difficult times. I’m not religious especially as this has happened to us, a happy family of two children aged only 16 and 18 with a husband I loved dearly for 26yrs  .  The afterlife I’m a little unsure but would like to believe there is something.  This is something that I will never forget I know my husband would not like to scare me .  I sleep with night lights on as don’t like the dark now . I’m glad you have told me that you have experienced something too .

  • Hi Victoria,

    Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss.

    Secondly, yes! I have experienced almost exactly the same phenomena.


    Last year (2019) early Feb my beloved grandfather got the 'all clear' from bladder cancer (diagnosed stage 1 three years before and not something that the doctors had ever suggested to us was a disaster scenario). However, he started to become generally weak and tired and felt just not himself March/April. 
     

    May 2nd he had a horrendous stroke, and the most awful months of my life ensued. At the end of June 2019 he was diagnosed with malignant ascites - an end stage symptom of aggressive cancer (despite the all clear in Feb!).. my mother, sister, uncle and I all proceeded to move in to my grandparents house and nursed him for 5 weeks until his passing. What an experience of absolute life and love. 
     

    Around 6 months afterwards, one morning I woke up (half asleep) and my grandpa was sat on my bed stroking my hand. I have never experience anything so real in my life whilst also knowing it was not a physical experience.. in my head he was definitely there with me, scratchy hands and all! 
     

    Fast forward to this year and my dad is now battling stage 4 cancer.. just no letting up with this disease sometimes.. life is hard. It makes you appreciate the small things and you battle on everyday. 
     

    Much love

  • Hi there, I lost my beautiful mum 2 years ago and we were as close as could be. Ice had many many signs and wonderful things happen since she left, signs that could only be from her. So many beautiful things happened that I had to write them all down. I believe in the Afterlife and I know I'll join my mum when ther time comes. I believe that she's happy in her new life as all her signs to me are happy, positive and loving. Last year I was asleep and was woken up but he handed on my shoulder. When I woke up I looked over to see if it was my husband's hand but he was fast asleep. I know what I felt and I know ie wasn't a dream. It was my mum checking in on me. I hope all of the visit we have all had console and give you hope that your loved ones are happy and still continue to be with us and go through life with you. To me death is not the end, rather it is the beginning of a new life for our loved ones. I keep talking to my mum and she will always respond whether it be through a series of coincidences leading me to an answer or just getting really strong vibes. Lots of love, Denise
