Has anyone had signs from a loved one that’s ‘passed over?’

Hi. My lovely, kind, caring, brave mother died of the awful 'c' word. Her anniversary's coming up next month. I hope no one thinks i'm a whimp. But it's the 4th year anniversary. I feel i should be further along with my 'journey of grief'. But i'm not. We were so close. I feel like i've lost several people, the grief is still so fresh. I'm getting emotional as i write this!

Anyway.

One morning. It was a few months after she'd died. I was very low. Had my head under my duvet. Feeling so emotional. Then i heard a lovely bird chirping. I thought it was in my bedroom. I slowly drew back the curtain & saw a lovely little bird looking up at me. (I think it was a Greenfinch). All our flats have wire round the windowledges, to stop birds landing. But it didn't stop this lovely little thing. I said hello quietly & asked it to come in. It didn't. it took 1 more concerned look at me. Then flitted off. The thing is. I've lived in my flat for nearly 20 yrs. That sort of thing never happened before or since. I just know it was my lovely mum telling me she's ok. She's free. Free from pain & FREE AS A BIRD. That little moment meant so much to me. Very special. 
 

I wondered if anyone else had any 'signs' like this? 

 

 

  • I am sorry about your mother. I do love the idea of these signs of loved ones the robin a white feather. 
     

    October is a rough month for my dad his parents both passed away in this month. I always notice these signs in this month. I love it :love:

  • Hello, what a comfort! I certainly do believe in signs....me and mum always said that whoever went first ( we started this many many year's ago) we would send the scent of opium the perfume to let the other know we were ok.....well, on the evening she passed I had the overwhelming scent of opium! I know I didn't imagine it, it lasted only a few seconds but was very strong....she was letting me know she was ok.... ️

  • Hi Marlyn.

    I'm so glad you believe our loved ones can send 'signs' that they're ok. That they've 'passed over'. I love your Opium sign. That was definitely your lovely mum saying she's free! 
    I had another sign from my lovely mum. This was about 9 weeks after her funeral. I was watching tv. When i heard a noise from my kitchen. It was my clock radio. It had turned itself on quietly. White noise. I was a bit shocked. Especially, as it turned on again, twice after i'd turned it off. But after. I realised. It was her. I was overwhelmed. It still cheers me up when i think about it. Hope you have more experiences. It seems to ease my grief. (A little). X

  • Hi Lizzy.

    Your dad must be a strong man. Losing both parents the same month? Very emotional.

    I lost my lovely dad when i was 17. (He was 52). I was 50 this year! So i was very close to my mum. My brother went onto Uni. I Fell inlove at 21. Left home. Got married. But then  developed arthritis & my lovely mum. (Who was a nurse, nursed me). She was so lovely. That's why i've found losing her, extra hard. 
     

    i've had counselling sessions. But of course. It doesn't stop you missing them.

    Good luck with everything. Hope your dad's pain eases. X

  • Oh I just love the radio story! ️ 
     

    I also had an extremely vivid short dream a couple of months after mum's funeral, she was all smiles and looked so radiant and said " see? I'm alright now, stop worrying " 

    One of my best signs was from my dad....I was driving home from work ( many moons ago) I was thinking of dad, I had the radio on...I asked " Dad, if your ok...let the next song be a George Michael song" well.....blow me down with a feather! Not only was it George...it was the song Faith! Some people might say coincidence...my gut says otherwise xx

  • Hey Marlyn.

    My heart just went all warm with your experiences. How special. Your mum interacting with you is a definite sign. George Michael & Faith? Wow. That wasn't a councidence.
    i've had some really vivid dreams about mum. 1 i had was extremely real. It was on the 2nd anniversary of her death. I saw her handbag at a bus stop on Oxford Street. I thought how am i going to get this to her? I looked round & i was in a big hotel bar. Loads of people. I looked round again & didn't know how i would find her. Then she came towards me looking great. Smiling, happy. We were so happy to see eachother. We hugged & laughed. Talked for a bit. Then she took her bag & went to a lift. I asked if i could come. She said no & left.

    But i felt so happy when i woke. 

  • Sat grinning from ear to ear reading that ️ 
    one last story, not long after my dad had died, I had a vivid dream where we were hugging each other tightly, I was crying ( happy to see you tears) it seemed to go on for the entire night! When I awoke my cheeks were wet with tears but I felt calm and reassured....xx

  • Hi again!

    I often wake up with a wet face. I often sing in my sleep too. I've heard myself! I love to sing when i'm sad when i'm awake aswell. It helps. I often dream of water too. That's an emtional sign.

    They call some really vivid dreams visitations. Those are the dreams when you wake up calm & happy. I had another 1.

    I was a rider of a rickshaw. I was waiting for customers. When this woman came towards me. She looked familiar. It was mum. I shouted mum. I dragged her into the rickshaw & hugged her with all my mite. I cried happy tears too. I said i love you. I miss you. She looked concerned & said 'i know'. Then i woke up. I was so happy we'd had contact. Very special. 

  • Beautiful....just beautiful.....

     

    ps....the water dream...oh my god! I'm always drowning and out of my depth, or about to get thrown off a ship In choppy waters...oh eck...

  • Dreams can tell us alot.

    They're a mixture of what has happened, what we wish would happen. Our hopes & fears. 

    Sometimes i can actually control my dream.

    I once dreamt i was in a swing. I could hear myself telling me to make the swing go higher & it did. It went higher & higher. Then i woke up.

    PS

    I'm not a swinger!!!!
