This is a most difficult dilemma and so common. As dementia progresses in our brains, our short term memory is blocked and eventually our long term memories as well. Your Mom is not able to recognize a time frame or the fact her parents and possibly other friends and family who have passed away are no longer with us and able to visit. Seeing her ask for people she cares so deeply for can be heartbreaking. First, try to distract her with another activity or a story or music. Is she able to take a walk or look at photos? This might work, if only temporarily. You will not be able to get her to understand her parents are deceased. And if by some chance you do, she will not remember and you will begin the process all over again of reminding her. You don’t want to lie to her, but sometimes, especially if she is already having a rough day (or you are), you may need to just play along and tell her you don’t know when she can see them or she will see them soon. Other times, you might want to tackle to difficult task of explaining to her the truth. Ultimately, it is up to you and there isn’t a right or wrong answer. If she gets upset it might be best to use the distraction mode or play along. Unfortunately, there isn’t a magic answer. Show I am sure others have dealt with this painful situation, any suggestions for Kris? Angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hand of God"http://www.searchquotes.com/quotes/author/Eileen_Elias_Freeman/ Additional Sites & Resources on Signs "Signs" Shared by Site and Mobile App Visitors The Photograph http://imgur.com/hcGdUvf https://redd.it/5g43gv "Over 801,000 Views hours after posting this old picture of them, put one of their favorite memories on the front page of reddit ". Since mom's unexpected death in ICU, dad went into schock, developed PTSD, and that accelerated the onset of Dementia. While prior to her death, he was healthy, driving, and exercising everyday, after her death - his started on a steep decline that found him bed ridden and under 24/7 care less than 3 years after she passed on. Under the supervision of an excellent mobile care medical unit, and a team of 24/7 caregivers, he was doing well at home until two weeks ago. We got the call Friday night that his blood test results were not good, and because he had not shown any signs prior to this - both his doctor and us thought it had to be an error with the test, which had happened before. Saturday night we got the second test results and they were worse. After consulting with the doctor, we felt the only option was Hospice at home, and they were to start him on that the following morning. We got on the first flight to Los Angeles on Sunday morning, and were able to spend the afternoon with him. He was alert, eating, joking, watching baseball and enjoying having the whole family together. He had a good night and as he did most of his life, he talked in his sleep all night. Then at 5 am, my brother for no reason at all, suddenly woke up and rushed to his bedside. Minutes later, he woke us all up as he knew that dad was in his last breaths. Like he did every morning since her death, he called out mom's name, but this morning - she responded, as we knew that mom was there to take his hand from my brother and guide him thru. Dad had a single tear of joy from his eyes as they opened wide, and we knew - he was at last with his lifelong partner of 60 years. This happened right before thanksgiving, and we buried him on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving Week. Two weeks to the day of his passing, we were still in a sort of surreal phase trying to understand and accept that all that had just happened right before what we thought was going to be a family thanksgiving get together. Then that same Friday, their favorite picture of the two of them was posted online, and within hours - it had over 801,000 views and on the front page of reddit. We knew that was dad sending us all a sign, but specifically to our younger techie brother, because he sent it thru the only medium he knew he would get our younger brother's attention - Online/Social Media, and his message was short, clear and on the picture: "I am OK and with mom again" A Heart "A few days after my husband passed away I was with a friend. As soon as I got off the car, I look down and found a glass picture frame that had hearts and it read I'll love you always and forever. I knew it was a sign from him." "Superman" "My oldest son Arthur just passed away 2 months ago and I had been waiting on a sign from him that he was ok. He loved Superman shirts & everyone that attended his funeral wore Superman shirts at the repast. Three weeks after his funeral I was in Chicago for my first cousin funeral supporting my relatives and feeling a little better. When we were flying back to Texas I started crying on the plane because I knew once I got back Arthur wouldn’t be there to welcome me back home. I was crying on my husband’s shoulder and I looked up and the passenger directly in front of me was putting his carry on in the overhead and had on a Superman shirt! We both immediately started laughing. My husband said “See Arthur watched over us in Chicago and he’s watching over us going back home!” I said of all the people on the plane this guy sat in front of me! "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." The Car "My mom passed away 2 years ago. I went out to her house, not a childhood home but i didn't see my mom before she died for a year or so cuz i didn't want to see her skinny and in bad health cuz that would forever be in my memory so I went out to get some memorabilia. I went to her car and on her sun visor an angel saying you have an angel watching you. a cute ornament. She was very godly and the sweetest person, and loved angels. I grabbed that and brought it home. A couple of months ago I am at our local bottle return place waiting in the car and my girl friend said "isnt that your moms car parked next to us? I had no idea my sis had sold mom's car 2 days prior. Sure enough it was. The new owner noticed me looking at her newly bought car not knowing it was my moms. She came out and I explained who I was. She said "there was something left in the backseat. Does this look familiar? It was my mom's pillow that had angels on it. She used it to boost her so she could drive. Very short lady.4 ft 9. The chances of this lady parking next me to me ,living in 2 different towns and not knowing each other, and being parked next to me is slim to none. The lady said she would sell me the car if I wanted it she could see i was emotional, but i said no. for some reason she hadnt cleaned the car of my moms stuff and my sis must have not known it was there . I feel that she was definitely letting me know she was near and I have the pillow in my car as if she was right with me. I miss her. I feel bad for not seeing her but we were like 2 peas in a pod. She knew I was gonna be devastated if she left us so i know she understood my actions. I kick my self now so bad if i could only turn back the hands of time." Music & Roses "I became estranged from my dad at the age of 14. We made some contact over the years, but I did not make enough effort. My dad was my hero when I was little. He understood me like no other. Unfortunately my parents got divorced when I was 10, and to put it mildly, they did not handle it well. I eventually felt manipulated to take sides. As an adult, I went on to have my own family, and my own divorce. I should have contacted dad more. My daughters barely knew him at all. We lost him in November of 2017, and the last time I had spoken with him was Father's Day of 2016. I told him I would send photos of my girls, and their children. But, life got in the way, and I didn't send any. The only photo I gave to him was a photo of my girls and me, and I slipped it into his casket. Since his death, I get signs in the form of music. My love of music came from him, and our special bond was music from when he was young, which was the '50s. Buddy Holly was his idol, and the song "Heart and Soul" by The Cleftones, were ones we loved so much. After he died, these songs would just always sort of pop up when least expected. I have also smelled roses. Now in the last 8 years, I have lost several family members. I don't know if it is any of them sending roses or not. But earlier this week, my dad's older sister died, and this morning the smell of roses has returned. I miss my dad. I am still grieving him like it was yesterday. I'm not only grieving him and his life, I am grieving what may have been had I been a better daughter. " The Black and Purple Butterfly "My beautiful daughter passed on 12/21/2016. Recently I’ve been pointing out to her six-year-old who was before when she died, that mommy comes in lots of forms to check on him. Such as, Cardinals, butterflies, Dragonflies, sometimes maybe even lizards or praying mantises! So shortly after having a conversation we had a mad rush of the house of these beautiful little Cardinals. And sometimes I would tell him let’s go outside and see if mom is coming today, and sure enough he will come a beautiful red cardinal. We recently went on vacation which is very difficult for me to do without her, and we were literally bombarded with butterflies and dragonflies at the pool. I know this is my girl because I’m struggling so hard to go on without her though I’m not a quitter and I have to raise this baby. Many days, I really wish I could end it. But I will not, because she didn’t quit on me she didn’t mean to die, I will not quit on her she always says she could count on me at least I hope she did. I’m thankful for your strength I’m thankful for you to show people that you can move forward even in such heavy, crippling grief. The Rainbow "My mother who was also my best friend passed away earlier this year, I’m late January of 2018, leaving me with an empty void in my heart and my being. I asked her to show me a sign that she I still with me, a warm hello that I needed so much, that was in the morning...a heavy thunderstorm followed that late afternoon, and after the skies cleared, I saw a beautiful rainbow in the sky, right in my backyard, as of it was just meant for me to see... i strongly felt that my mom was responding to me by saying “hello, I love you Alicia” in the biggest way possible! - that was my mom for sure. She would have moved mountains, and made rainbows for me during her life, it had to be a sign from her, one of the biggest and most beautiful signs I could ever receive that my mother will always be with me, watching over me and my kids, always right by my side." Smoke Detectors "I know this might sounds crazy but here it goes. My husband and I had to say goodbye to our sweet boy Duke (Labrador 12 years) and I know this isn’t anything like losing a human but to us it hurts very very much. After we placed him in her car and returned inside our home my husband and I embraced and started to cry. At this exact moment the smoke detectors right above of heads started to go off. There was nothing cooking or smoking in the house. I immediately looked at my husband and said, “ that’s Duke. Telling us he’s okay and leaving”. It didn’t really lessen the pain at that moment but I have it know in my heart. Duke passed on May 31, 2018. 💔sincerely devastated" Music "I have received signs almost every day since this person left. I want to tell people but I want to explain about this person because I now realize this was the most important person in my life and I have so much grief and guilt- I had lost contact with this person I hadn't seen her in a while. It was my fault and I had no reason to do what I did. No good reason. I loved this woman since the day we met 26 years ago this month. She was everything I could ever want in a person. We had a great relationship but we were always with other partners or married. But we still did so much together. She died horribly in May. I found out in June. No obituary no funeral - nothing. We loved music, she introduced me to Metallica - she's been sending me messages through my phone (Pandora) and my boombox or car. She seems to be picking songs- some she likes or we both liked or significant to us. Several times 2-3 songs will start then stop then go on to other songs. Until she finds the right one. Long ago we had a very intimate moment and the song "crazy train" was playing. I've heard crazy train 2-3 at the least times a day. Also I walked into our county fair and a band was playing on the stage and their first song was crazy train. The other night ( I work midnight's) I went outside and found a star. I assumed it was her so I asked Rachel - Is that you? Are you OK? I love you Rachel can you give me some kind of sign?" and I went back in and a song was already going on my radio and I asked the radio "are you talking to me Rachel?" and I got these lyrics - The Pigeon "Like many families, we live all over the country, and as our family grows, it is never easy to get together. Schedules and Costs are major hurdles in getting everyone in one place. However, this summer for the first time we got together in New York City for July 4th, a place they would have loved to be at with us. And just as I was looking around the room and feeling both happy to have everyone here, but also sad that they were not....a beautiful white pigeon landed on our window and stayed there for quite some time. Aside from never seeing white pigeons in NYC, we had never had a bird land in our window and least of all, stay as long as this one did. Then..I got it, and smiled... They were sending us a sign to let us know they were also there with us." The Birthday "I lost my dad yesterday. It was his birthday. I wish I knew what to do, what to think, my mind is numb & I am numb. My mind goes back to those last moments I gave you some morphine, you took a breath and died.. You were born 6-8-19xx and I guess fate was you had to leave me on 6-8-2017" Daphne Purple Shrub "When I received this amazing sign from my Mom she had been gone for ten years but I still I talked to her every day. My husband and I were on holidays in Greece when I got double pneumonia and had to be rushed to a hospital. I was very seriously ill, was terrified because I coudn't breathe and was in a foreign hospital. In the middle of the night , all alone in my hospital room I began talking to her and begging her to be with me and take care of me and help me get well. The first morning a therapist read my name on my hospital bracelet and when he saw that my middle name is Daphne told me that is a Greek name and in Greece they have a shrub with purple blossoms that is named Daphne. My husband was staying in a hotel and on his walk to the hospital that morning saw some purple flowers sticking through a fence and picked them for me. I immediately grabbed my phone and looked up a picture of the Daphne shrub and it showed an exact picture of the the flowers my husband had brought me. I know they were from my Mom Daphne to let me know she was there with me! We also started finding dimes in unexpected and odd places, especially if there was a health crisis happening to a family member. My daughter found a dime on the floor of the xray room when she was having cancer tests. She found another as she stepped out of her car at the hospital emergency when her husband was ill. We have so many dime stories I could write a small book. Mom also comes to me in vivid dreams looking like she did when she was about thirty years old, clothes and hair and standing in our old kitchen from my childhood so I know she is alive and well somewhere just beyond my earthly vision patiently waiting until it's my time to join her. In the meantime she keeps in touch with her dimes and flickering lights at every one of my Dad's birthday parties." I Have Faith "My daughter Amy died 2 weeks ago. I really worried about her going to heaven or not. She visited my 4 yr old grand baby who said she talked with her. I thought she was talking about an imaginary friend, and it wasn't until the next morning that I got it. She kept saying "I have Faith." I thought it was an imaginary friend but I realized she was repeating what my daughter had said. "I have Faith." The GPS "When I was growing up we took rv trips every summer from Maine to Texas and dad would try to find new routes so we didn't always go the same way. After I had my own children we would often talk about those memories our favorite being dads favorite short cut going from Maine to Texas through Canada and yes dad still says it is shorter. Haha the day after my son passed away we went to pick up my niece from Terrell, Texas and bring her down with us to Livingston, Tx. We routed the GPS and going from Terrell to Livingston.. the GPS took us to Canada . We all laughed." Elmo "My son loved Elmo when he was young. On what would have been his 24th birthday, 11 months after he had passed, I was feeling very lost. Deciding to get out the house, I was walking past a local second hand shop and out the front they had a basket full of Elmo dolls. I brought them all. Loading them into my car, one started singing "Happy Birthday to me" and was doing a funny dance. It brightened my mood, I believe it was sign from my son to lift my spirits" The Greeting Card A week after his death, and upon returning home, I was having a very tough day coming to acceptance with his death. I am an eternal optimist, but today there was not an ounce of optimism in my thoughts. I stopped at the store to pick up some things for the kids en route home, and the lines at all the open cashiers were very long, but suddenly a new cashier opened up right next to me so I ran over to her. As I started to place all the products on the belt, I noticed someone had left a Christmas card on the belt right in front of me. I went to put the card away so I would not damage it, but then I read the message on the front of the card, and I knew they were sending me a message that all was OK, and that I should enjoy my favorite time of the year knowing they were ok. The card read: "With Lots of Love at Christmas, Mom and Dad" The Crystal Angel "It had been a couple of weeks since dad's passing, and I was at the supermarket getting groceries for the family gathering we were going to have over the weekend. As I passed some of his favorite foods at the store, he came to mind, and was sadden that I could no longer make him his favorite foods. Therefore, I decided it was time to go home for now and continue this later. While leaving the store and still feeling sad, I see this object on the ground glittering with the sunlight underneath my trunk, and after putting the groceries away - I went to move it to make sure it would not damage my tires. To my surprise, it was a crystal angel figurine, and immediately - I knew that was dad sending me a signal. He would always give me angel figurines and ornaments as presents because I have always loved angels." The Cigar
"it's okay mom, I love you" It was the last time I heard my son's voice. Though it was a dream but I was awake crying. He was always my comfort when I was upset."
The hairs on my arms stood up, and I knew. It was him. He used to have the bad habit of just walking into rooms without knocking, and every time I would call him on it, he would close the door, and then open it again & come in. He was there to tell me that I was at the right place this Friday night." Barking Molly "Just after my husband died -about 25 minutes - my dog Molly started howling uncontrollably at home where she was being looked after by a relative of ours. This continued for a few minutes. I and my daughter were told this when we got home after saying our goodbyes. My husband always said he would find a way of letting me know he was ok and he was as close to our dog as he was to me. He was distressed in the final days that he couldn’t see her and I believe she was the first one to be visited by him once he reached the other side. State of Rest Before Sleep "My brother passed away in 2014. I was staying in a nearby hotel, and with him as much as possible when he was in ICU. He was writing a book I found out after he died about astral projection. He was somewhat religious, but not a church regular. I was back in my hotel room and attempting to get much needed sleep when I spoke out loud "there are seven angels flying over your head". My husband thought I was dreaming but I was not. I was in the state of rest before sleep, a semi-conscious state. I recall being somewhere that I felt my brother there, his presence, but I could not see him.....it was a sense that I just knew he was there. However, I was scared because I felt it to be a place not for the living. I could not find my way out, and I was actually talking coherently to my husband that I didn't know where I was, and I couldn't get out....I fought being there. It was around 3 minutes total, and my conscious mind was able to finally free myself. Here's what's amazing. My brother went brain dead at the same minute I found out from the hospital. He was on life support, but all brain waves stopped at the same time I saw ; when I say see the angels it was more of a known fact, I do not recall seeing them but I was no longer in my bed, and was with him in this place I can only explain as purgatory. It was something I've tried to explain and rationalize to many even in the church, but I don't feel anyone fully understands. I truly believe he was trying to tell me goodbye and it was how he knew to do it since I was almost asleep. I only regret I wasn't receptive and was very scared at the time because it was not a place I felt I should have been. I've looked all over the internet for similar stories but find none. My brother was a Lt. Col USAF fighter commander who was not the typical person in that he had extensive knowledge of Quantum mechanics and physics, Astral Physics and Quantum jumping. It would be interesting if anyone else had anything similar ever happen."
Rose that Grew from Concrete "When my mom passed away I was only 21 and it was very hard to go through. I felt alone in the world and angry I lost my mother. She struggled with addiction my entire life. I watched her slowly slip away. I turned to poetry which is something my mother and I both love. She would write poems for me often to express her love for me. I stumbled upon the poetry book , "The Rose that grew from the concrete" by Tupac Shakur. My favorite poem was "When ure hero falls ". One day I returned back to the home I grew up in with my mother. Right by the gate to enter the backyard was a beautiful marigold flower growing from a crack in the concrete. I had an overwhelming feeling that I just knew it was a sign from my mother. I couldn't believe it was there. I asked my family members if they purposely had planted the flower that way. They didn't but I was so shocked, and in disbelief. It brought me so much comfort. I took a photo of the flower and I will cherish it forever." Perfume "I am only 16 years old, and my Mama passed away on June 20, 2020. The night after she passed I began to smell her perfume all around my house. She has not moved on, and I don't think she will until she knows for certain that her babies are safe and happy. I feel her every day" Zoom Penguins "This is not a sign from my loved one, but one that I was witness to on a zoom call when a young man who lost his partner to cancer joined a group call but seemed preoccupied with the magnitude of his loss and the fact that he would soon be facing his first holiday without his loved one. And while he was sharing his thoughts with the zoom group and his doubts about joining the group on that evening - he started to smile and most of us could not figure out why until he asked one of the group participants about the 3 small stuff animals that were barely visible behind her - in her shelve. She said they were penguins, and with a giant smile - he shared how him and his partner called each other Penguins for most of their time together, and even had most family members always get them penguins for birthdays and holidays... I am not sure if he realized it when this happened, but for me - It was clear! This was the first time I had been witness to a sign from our loved ones on Zoom. For me, I felt the penguins were a sign from his loved one that it was going to be OK, and that he was at the right place and with the right people in this group. That's just my opinion" Flashing Colors "My husband past a few weeks ago.. after a 40 year marriage..on our anniversary. I have been seeing flashing colors on my phone and a rainbow in the sky at night. The TV came on twice, a door open and insulation panel flew off the wall by itself.. he and I custom cut it and fitted in... its almost impossible" The iPhone "I received a 911 text from my sister early on November 16th and I knew someone had died...it was just a feeling. It was my mom. She was 93 and seemingly fine.She slowed down the past year but, I knew she would outlive us all. At 93 she looked 20 years younger and was lucid and sharp. I was quite surprised. So,my sisters and I took care of her, just the 3 of us and with COVID decided to have her life celebration at a later date after things settled down. The next day I was in my bedroom opening a dresser drawer. I opened the drawer with my left hand. My iphone was in my right hand and my iphone was turned OFF. Here’s what transpired and mind you I’m not overtly religious or, I’m not embellishing what happened At All. I open the drawer and say out loud, ”Mom,if there’s more to this you gotta send me something”. My IPhone immediately goes on. The album is “This is what you want,this is what you get”, by Public Image Ltd., of which I’m a big fan...The song was “Bad Life“. Needless to say...I nearly Sh$t. I immediately called my sisters. They freaked out. There’s No Way I had my phone turned on. It was OFF. Could be a mere coincidence or ???? IDK. Sign "Does my mom love me and is she watching me? I lost my mom on Sep 9th because of covid and I couldn’t go to her funeral bcoz of pandemic. I want to know whether my mom is watching me and does she still loves me and does she have any message for me" The Purse "Mom passed away about 2 years ago, and dad passed on a few years before that. I still have not been able to give away or throw out their things, and while the holidays are always a hard time for me, I still treasure them because the whole family gets together at our long time family home. This year of COVID, that is not happening at all and while I have still decorated the house like they would want us to do, I was still having a hard time with the season. So in an effort to keep occupied, I started to collect some of their items I could donate to the many families in need this holiday. An hour after starting and stopping and with some tears en route, I come across a purse she loved to take on her travels and it still looked new so I was about to put in the donation box, but something inside told me to search it first, and I did, and then I found a sign from them that was loud and clear. In one of the inside pockets, I found $200, and I knew it was a message from them that I was doing the right thing in looking to donate to all these families facing a very tough Christmas, so I used most of the money found to buy toys for different local toy campaigns. The isolation of these holidays may still be tough at times, but this simple sign told me that all would be ok, and that there will be many other christmas, but this christmas we all have to take care of each other" The Motion Light "Could not sleep, so got up very early at 5am and grabbed my tea. I went into the den and pulled up all the blinds so I could see the sunrise. I passed right in front of the motion light by the sofa, but for some reason, it did not turned on, and I didn't think much about it, maybe it needed replacement. Sitting and drinking my tea on an early Sunday waiting for another christmas sunrise and realizing how much I missed her, but right at the moment when tears were starting to form, the motion light which was at least 10 feet away from me, and with no other motion near it, came on. I knew she was sending me a sign, and the tears still came out, but they were tears of joy because she was sending me a sign that she was ok" Walking Through a Door "My step-father passed away in October of 2019, my mother in June 2020. After my mother passed my brother accused me of stealing all of her items and money. I was the executor of her estate. If you have been through this then you know it takes months if not years to settle a estate. My mothers was very simple, pay a couple bills and wait. I was so upset and stressed over what my brother was putting me through so I no longer was able to talk with him. After having a very long and rough day I went to bed, I remember walking through a door and a long hall way with few curves, I remember seeing flowers on the walls and pictures of stairs leading no where. I believe I was looking for a certain room. I walked in front of a door, stopped and decided to walk through the door. Once I was in the room I saw my dad sitting against the wall in a chair you would have in a class room or a meeting room... He had his shoes on that he always wore, the tan slacks and patterned shirt he liked. He looked at me and I just starred at him, he look over at my mother who was sitting against the other side of the wall and I looked the same direction and was only, I feel like I was allowed to only see her legs and feet. Her legs were crossed and she was bouncing her foot that was crossed on her other leg. I could not see her face, I did see her hands sitting in her lap. Next thing I know I'm looking back at my dad and he looks and me, then looks at mom and says.. Oh oh Patsy, we have been busted....and he chuckles . He then said to me " We will always be here for you " Next thing I know I'm walking out of the room and I wake up.. I will never forget that. What I don't understand is why I was unable to see my mother's face.... I talked to both of them a lot, and I love knowing they are together now. My mother missed him so much. I hope to see them again and talk with them..." Candle Smoke "I lost my father less then a week ago. Every day since I smell smoke. The only smoke smell it reminds me of is when u blow a candle out. Am I imagining it?" Flickering Lights "My Mom had passed from Congestive Heart Failure. Just a couple of weeks after she passed I heard her voice in my ear while standing at my kitchen sink, just like she was standing next to me.... she said, now I can be there anytime you need me. I asked for a sign a couple of weeks later that she was ok. I was in the shower and the lights flickered off and on. I asked my husband if he did it and he said he was downstairs and no he didn't." Red Heart When my mother passed away there was a red heart on the arm and then gradually dissappeared! Flowers "After my dads sudden death, i consulted a medium. She said my dad is giving me bouquet of white flowers. At first i didn't think of it because my dad and I were both not so fond of flowers. The next day, something was telling me to go to the shore to smell fresh air. So we all went to the shore with the rest of my family. We passed by a church and there i saw white flowers. I thought that was the sign but on our way home, inside the car, me, my mom and my sister smelled freshly picked flowers that lasted almost 1 minute. We thanked dad for not leaving us. We miss him a lot. We know he is still with us. He kept his promise that he will never leave us. My dad was the kindest, most loving person i have ever known, he loved us unconditionally. Love truly never dies." Knock On Front Door "I was alone in a private house were my mom lived for 65 yrs. I was waiting fir husband/clean out service. On phone with cousin and said hold on hear knocking at front door. No one there ! Said to my cousin on phone how strange. Was def an aggressive knock 3/4 times. I assumed it was my husband as parking is tough in Brooklyn and bell sometimes doesn’t work. Was a frustrating knocking sound. Reading could mean such different things..." The Dream "My mom had a dream about her dad who has passed away almost 7 yrs ago.... that he was in her craft room she's been setting up and he had a pretty box and he handed it to her with a picture of me in it - I was wondering what does that mean?" Did My Dying Father Visit Me When He Died? "Early in the morning on the day my father died, around 3:00 AM, my husband woke me up. He said I was screaming, attacking him, in my sleep. His cheek was bleeding. This is not normal behavior for me. I never could go back to sleep. As my day went on, I tried to reflect on what I was dreaming to make me behave that way. The only thing I could remember was that someone was falling, and I was trying to grab them. This is all before I knew anything at all was wrong. Around lunchtime, a police officer came to my door to tell me they had been called by my dad's workplace to do a wellfare check on my dad when he failed to show up for work. The police found him dead, at his home, in bed. They believe he had a heart attack. He had a history of heart issues and there was Nitroglycerin tablets found spilled out on his coffee table. They told me they estimated his time of death at being very early that morning. I am wondering if he was dying when I had my dream, or "nightmare". I am wondering if he was scared, as my dream was not a peaceful one. He was only 62, lived alone, and had worked the day before. It was all very sudden. Do you think my dream was a coincidence, or it meant something?" Two Rainbows "I lost my Dad march 9, 2020, 3 weeks before my birthday. My Dad was a good man, we didn't see eye to eye all the time and in my older years we grew apart. 1 month prior to his death in february he came to visit me and we had the best 2 hour talk over dinner and drinks. A month later he was gone from a heart attack suddenly on the golf course with no pre existing conditions. After his funeral procession, I went to collect his personal effects from my step mom, on the way home over the highway as I was driving 2 rainbows emerged together in unison over the horizon and I just know it was him. I'm trying hard to cope still a year later" The Car "I was driving my husband to a dr.appointment yesterday, when all of a sudden, I felt my son’s presence so strong in my car, it made me very emotional, I had to focus to drive , it last 15-20 minutes,it will be 2 yrs since his death on April 14th, I miss him every minute of every day " Rainbows "My father passed away unexpectedly on 11/2020. On the morning of I received a call from my grandmother. I didn't answer right away because I was using the restroom (lol, but this plays a role in my story I swear). She left a voicemail, one that repeatedly plays in my head daily. She was sobbing, gasping for air she said "Jordyn honey it's grandma, I need you to call me back as soon as possible." I knew, instantly. I was standing in my kitchen when I called her back, she said "daddy passed away today." I fell to the floor.. screaming "no no no" over and over. Crying, shaking, wishing it wasn't real. My boyfriend heard me and instantly ran out and grabbed me. It was just as much a shock to him as it was to me. I couldn't believe it, I didn't believe it. So I called my mother, and told her I was coming over. I showed up still shaking, frantic and in tears. I told her and she broke too. In the days to come I had to prepare for his funeral, which was out of state. I flew out to his home with my sister. I wrote my eulogy, which I didn't think I would be able to read at his funeral. After his funeral all my family went home and it was just me in my fathers home. I was going through his belongings, finding that I wanted to keep for myself and what I would donate to Veterans in need (my dad was a veteran so we knew that's what he would want) I tried to remain happy while going through the home my father had his last breath in. I played happy music, tried on his clothes and just danced around.. until I came across his toothbrush in his bathroom.. there was blood on it. My father passed away in his bathroom (which is ironic because I was in my bathroom when I found out he passed away). Finally after a full 12 hours of no tears, I broke into a million pieces. I was crying on his bathroom floor. The day my father passed away I logged into Facebook, I never go on there but I needed to connect with family. One of the first messages that popped up was from my father saying "congratulations on coming out sweetie" with a rainbow emoji. While I was sobbing in his bathroom I went back to reread that message, just to return to crying more. As I lifted my head from my hands to gasp for air I looked at the wall of his bathroom and saw a rainbow.. a perfect rainbow. I felt as if I was being hugged with the tightest embrace from my father. Then it hit me, he was with me. He saw the toll his death was taking on me so he gave me a sign. The day I left his house I had to say goodbye to where my father took his last breath. I came home and in the days to follow I saw several rainbows, right outside my bedroom window, while driving, everywhere. I saw rainbows everywhere. The one piece of happiness that was keeping me going. I decided to document it, every rainbow I saw whether it was my father, the weather or just a coincidence. I knew that in that moment I fell to pieces my dad was there to pick up some of the pieces even if he wasn't physically here with me." The Penny "After Daddy died 2/9/1995 2days later in my dreams , Moms Alzheimer’s came out 1 week later she died 12/1/199. I was alone with both when passed, they did not die alone. One nite before bed turn off tv and sat on chair to take shoes off. Immediately heard like a slow scratch on top of 5ft cabinet I looked up, no cat up there, no fan, then all of a sudden a penny came off the top of counsel and landed 3 ft off on to floor. Internally felt a weird feeling then out loud said hi Mom & Daddy, I know when they are here. Been startled/saw by cloud figure passed pass. I look forward to their presence and say hi and I love you both so much" Rainbow Over The House "I lost my husband and my step daughter and I saw 2 rainbows and a day or 2 after his passing a rainbow appeared over the house" The Cell Phone "My deceased son's, (Alan) cell phone reads "disabled" on screen (as we tried a no of passcodes, so disabled), phone has no provider service But it rings/vibrates often. Ring lasts a very long time. Sometimes loud ring, sometimes softer. One evening cell rang, though very softly. After it stopped I said aloud "Alan" that was a very soft ring. In just few mnutes it began ringing loudly. I have researched for an explanation; can find none." Superstore "My mom passed away two years ago. My brothers didn’t tell me she was dying in hospital until it was too late to get there and she had been in for weeks. I felt something was wrong and was calling her. I was hours away. My mom and I had our worst fight in our lives together the last I saw her. Actually we never fought. I moved into the house she left me but I still can’t get rid of her stuff. There had previously been a darkness in this house even when she was alive. I couldn’t stay here long. But I recently have been using sage and natural ways to get the energy positive and I must say there is such a difference. I’ve felt my moms presence and have been talking hoping she hears me and apologizing for our rare fight and not getting there in time. I just reconnected with my father after 25 years. Our first time out doing something together we were shopping at Walmart AND THERE WAS MY MOM! SHE WAS SICKLY BUT PHYSICALLY THERE WITH A CART! MY FATHER SAID HE SAW SOMEONE WITH A BLUE COAT BUT IT WAS TOO THIN TO BE MY MOM, PLUS HE WAS FAR AWAY AND HE HADNT SEEN HER IN 25 YEARS AS WELL! I asked him to walk by her but he wouldn’t. I actually think she was my mom and too scared to admit it after talking with him later when I told him who it was. She had been very sick and was painfully thin her last couple years. I walked by her a few times and her hair was the same in every way. SHE EVEN HAD THE MARK ON HER FACE SHE GOT FROM SURGERY! My dad and I stepped into another isle and just as fast as my unknown reason to walk over to that isle and saw her; I searched for her and she was gone. I am going through yet another tragic but the most difficult time I’ve had to endure in 51 years and this ones with my youngest not yet teen son. Was my mom there to tell me she’s there for me and loves me and I’m doing the right thing in regards to my son or what?" Postcards "I have had these 2 "postcards from heaven" from my dad who passed in 1973. It's been very plain to me. The first time was 3 years ago. Dad always told me I sing like an angel.8 loved to sing and he said that constantly. He was always encouraging. So when people who heard me sing told me that they thought I sang like an angel and they said it just popped into their head I knew it was Dad coming through to me. What a comfort. The second time was two days ago. A friend and indeed on Catalina Island for the day. This is a place that has happy memories for me and Dad. My friend turned to me and said Ready Freddy? My jaw dropped and I asked her why she said that. She said it just popped into her head. Well my mom and dad always said Ready Freddy and then Ready Eddie every time they left the house together. It was their thing. My mom was named Frieda and dad called her Freddy. I knew that was Dad again. I thanked him for his hello and presence." The Charm "My mom passed away recently in November from pancreatic cancer. The other day, April 21st, was my birthday so my husband took me to buy me a charm for my bracelet. I picked out the charm that I wanted and then I decided I want two more so I noticed a heart shaped charm and it was cheap so I purchased it not paying any attention to the details of the charm. Surprisingly, when I got home I looked at the charm and noticed it had wings on it. On one side it said “my angel” & on the other side it said “mom” Floating In The Air "My Mom & Stepdad passed on the same date 27th in the same year 2012, 8 months apart. My stepdad died in January and my Mom September. My Mom's birthday was in January and my stepdad birthday was in September This has never happen to me before. I was 58 years old when they passed. I was over all arrangement for both. During their viewings at each service it was like a halo 3D vision over their eyes and they winked at me. My 7 year old granddaughter saw the same. I never said anything to anyone until she said papa wink at me. I thought I was losing my mind or over whelmed with grief until my grand daughter spoke. As I was sleeping I saw my Mom floating in the air, smiling at me and this soft beautiful voice said death will come on the 27, it was the 25th of September. The voice was so sweet with tranquility and so peaceful that I did not want the voice to stop talking. The voice stated it twice. Death will come on the 27th. My Mom died September 27th at 6:30 p.m. My Mom had been in hospice for over 2 weeks. Doctors told my family my Mom will be gone in two or three days, this was the 10th of September She lived over 2 weeks. I got sick while being there with my Mom, went to hospital due to Afib & sent to my Mom's home to rest because I live in Texas and she lived in Memphis. The vision happen while I was sleeping on the couch in her home. " Tweed Bomber Jacket "Three days after our son died ..I went for a walk with the dog .. the Avenue is so quiet you can here a pin drop.. I was on the phone to our granddaughter.. for a few minutes while talking all thoughts of our son went out of my head ... I just happened to turn round and I saw him as clear as day stooping and opening my car then I heard the door click shut .. He was a lot younger and had on his favourite tweed bomber jacket he had when he was 16 ..I wasn’t frightened I couldn’t believe what I had just seen... Unfortunately my family don’t believe it they say it’s grief but I swear to god I saw him." Unwrapped Christmas Gifts "I watched my mom take her last breath 12/24/2020. I didn't want to be in the room because I knew it would break me permanently but I knew mom's biggest fear was passing without us there. I held her hand as they woke her from sedation. She had cancer and was bleeding internally...they intubated her and the bleeding couldn't be stopped. When she opened her eyes I could see the fear. She was fine before they intubated. She looked at me and I began to sing to her, her favorite song that she always wanted me to sing. I could see the tears well up in her big brown eyes. She knew. She was scared but she knew. They let us say goodbye before putting her back under. Momma didnt get to tell us how she felt. She took her last breath at 1:27 pm. My husband and I didn't want my dad (her husband of 23 years) to be alone that night so we stayed at her house. Walking in was hard, there were unwrapped christmas gifts on her couch. I swallowed down my grief for my daddy. Later that night I dreamed of her, she was standing in her bedroom looking out of her window. She stayed facing that window and said "look babygirl, look momma has her hair back". I began to break down in the dream asking her How can I live without you momma? How can I go on mommy I need you" It was at that moment that mom was standing in front of me holding my face. She said close your eyes baby girl. So I did. She said no matter what I am always with you. I'm right here. I felt her touch my chest right where my heart is. She then said. Now, I love you bye. I woke with the word by echoing so loudly, so loudly in my ears. I stared into the dark and burst into tears. Momma was gone. She was really gone. I want so deeply to believe that was my mom showing me what I never really believed in. That there is something after and that she is ok. I still struggle everyday with her death. She was only 46. I'm 30. I take comfort in that dream visit though. She got to tell me what she wanted to but couldn't due to being intubated. She has since visited both of my sisters. I love you Julie Ann. I miss you everyday. I got her a tattoo on my thigh since. It reads, "If there ever comes a day that we can't be together, Keep me in your heart...I'll stay there forever." The Phone "It was in June 19th 2021, I over hear my niece talking with my Momma and she was upset, saying she had a dream that this female who had curly hair was struck by a car, she didn't see her face but it was someone in our family, My Brother passed away August 5th 2018, and everyone says they have dreamed of my brother one way or the other since he's been gone. I on the other hand have not, God knows I wished I did but havent, being he was my best friend.He was my only brother whom I was with everyday of the week and took care of him till he passed. He made me promise that I wouldnt leave him to die alone so I fulfilled that promise and never left his side. On June 19th my niece has this dream, two days later I and at my brother's old house, getting ready to move in this coming month and was redoing the floors but it had gotten late, and at the time I had moved back home with parents till the house was ready and we were done working on it. So being my parents are elderly I try to come home at a decent hour because the dogs will bark and wake them up and then they have a hard time going back to sleep, and I have to hear it the next morning... But on June 20th I lost track of time and it realized how late it was and had to go home and sneak in quietly, while doing so I dropped my phone in the kitchen and realized my camera was on because it flashed so I turned it off and went to bed.. The next morning I grab my phone and it on photos and I look at what was on my screen and it was a silloette of my brother leaning against the refrigerator with his hand in his pocket. I panic'd and showed my mom and sister who were unsure at first but now believe it was him only because of what happened. The following day we get a phone call and it's my nieces mother telling us that she was hit by a car crossing the busy road in the crosswalk by a woman who was going so fast she was flung over the car and on to the road. She literally had to crawl to the curb because on coming traffic was coming and could of hot her as well. My niece has curly hair and I believe my brother showed up on my phone to warn us.. " The Paperclip "My Dad passed from Covid. It was an error on a family member that assumed it was allergies. They used his fax machine and was in his house for about 10 minutes. A few days later Dad became ill. I got him a covid test, he was retired and wasn’t around many people at all. It came back positive. I was nervous because of his age. 5 days later he had trouble breathing. Mom called 911. One week later he passed. It’s been so hard to process this. My family is in shock. My Mom also had it and thankfully had a mild case. This has been a devastating blow to her. He used to give me money sometimes, he was just that way. He would always fold it and paperclip it. One day, I was having a really bad day about his passing and found a paperclip. I knew it was him. Love you Dad .. [❤] ️.. [💔] Miss you Forever." Scent "Why do I suddenly smell my dad's scent years after he died" The Flash "My grandma recently passed away, I’ve been seeing cardinals and been getting random scents of a woman , last night I heard my dad crying over my grandma. I woke up and stared directly at my door when I saw a bright light flash quickly on the photo I had of her on my shelf next to my crucifix. I knew It was her visiting" Her Song "My mom passed from an aneurysm after a traumatic brain injury in 2018. Last night at approximately 12:20 am I was awakened in tears. I had heard my mom singing a song she made up for me during bath times when I was little. It was so distinct and so clear I get goosebumps typing this. We lost my father-in-law just over a week ago and I don’t know if it’s all connected, but this was one of a few things I have experienced since my mom passed. Also about 6 months after she passed, I was still struggling with my grief I had a similar experience where she whispered “Ashley..., I love you.” With that experience I would actually feel her whisper. Here’s hoping this is her reminding me how strong our bond was/is." The Address Number "I keep seeing our old address 553 I said to myself mom's saying hello... Her Best Friend "I lost my mother in 2013 and now her best friend I have learned may pass any day. Her daughter told me that 2 weeks ago her mother wanted her to reach out to me to tell me the news. I’m saddened to hear about her decline but I’m overwhelmed with honor that she wants me to know she will be leaving this earth. Could my mom maybe had hand in that at all? Is she waiting on her friend? Or is it bigger than that?" The Red Explorer "I saw my grandfather/dad's red explorer after school yesterday on the tenth. I was shocked and emotional. My grandfather's red explorer was burnt and crushed down long time ago before he passed away on July 5th. I saw burnt marks all over the red explorer, and tears came out of my eyes. My grandfather was probably giving me a sign. For we used to go everywhere in that explorer. And it got burnt and crushed. But before my eyes it was there and it reminded me of us." Soldiers "Brother's Suicide. Three random people told me my brother didn't commit suicide and the day it happened I heard what sounded like a platoon of soldiers running thru the house" The Flight Change "My mom had been suffering from Copd for over 2 years and I decided to take a trip to Vegas to see her. I ordered my ticket online in December 2020. She hadn't been feeling good lately and our 3 o'clock phone calls were no more than 5 minutes because her breathing. I decided to change my plane flight to February instead of April because I know anything can happen at any minute and I was worried so February 17 2020 i took the flight. Had not seen her in 5 years and she did not look good at all, Not even her skin color and she was skinny,on oxygen and very outta breath. On my visit she signed up for hospice and i thought that was wonderful what they had to offer her. I felt at ease. I stayed about 9 days and had to make it back home to Kentucky. She passed away March 27 2020, There was a reason i changed my flight!! I miss her to much,RIP momma,No more suffering!" Sounds "I lost my parents and soulmate, all in less 4 yrs, I have received many signs from all three, music boxes playing, animated Santa moving a few inches, without a Battery, sounds of my father calling Freddy, it’s so heart whelming and such True Love" The Kitten "My 4 month old kitten keeps going to a photo of me as a infant,with my deceased grandparents. She stares at it quite a bit in the mornings. This has been going on for 2 months. She seems fascinated by it. It us a very old picture. So the colors are very muted. I lost my grandpa 30 years ago and my grandma 2 years ago. I was very close to them both. But my grandma was my everything." The Talk "My father has 4th stage Prostate Cancer. When we saw him at the hospital today... he said he talked to his deceased mother. I've been praying and asked her to look over her son." Her Call "My moms house is empty. I had to go to her house for something. While walking thru her bedroom, I heard her call my name very softly." Toes "My mom had alzheimers she passed away in my home... and I think she was pulling my toes she use to wake me up this way when I was a kid" Woke up this morning saw a RAINBOW, it almost brought me to my knees "The subject title is a lyric I wrote, for a song that keeps circling around in my heart and head, and I have been trying to complete it for months. My dad passed away on Thursday 2 December 2021 in hospital. I had been with him all day. He had been getting progressively worse over the course of the day without me fully realizing it. The doctors said they were bringing him to ICU and his stats remained the same through the day so I understood that he was going to be okay - he had pulled through this once before. He told me he was dying, that his time was up. I didn't hear that. I just told him he would be fine, they were going to get him to ICU and on to a ventilator. They didn't manage to do that. My aunt came to see him and he got angry at her, told her to get out. The doctor told us not to talk to him because we were agitating him. So we decided to go and have some food, then my aunt would return to see him before she went home up the country. I double-checked with the doctor and they said they would call me if anything changed. We enjoyed our meal. We talked about dad. We wondered how this would go. I was intending to stay the entire night. I felt it was going to be a long night; that they were going to get him to ICU. I felt the rest would do him well. I knew I would need energy for the night ahead of me. Then we made our way across the road to the hospital. My phone rang just as I got to the door. Come quick, he is very unwell. By the time I got up to the room, he was getting CPR. I stared as they gave aggressive CPR and I just said 'he's gone.' I knew he was gone. They wouldn't let me in to the room. Eventually they changed their minds and let me hold his hand and I saw a flicker on the monitor - a dotted line that moved into an arch. Numbers appeared. And just as quickly, it went back to being a flat line. I knew that was him. He came to say farewell. He knew I was there. The next day I begged him for a sign, after I left the priest who was taking the information for the funeral service. I got home and there was a double-rainbow right on my doorstep. I thought huh, that means he found mum up there and they are letting me know. The next day at the funeral home, another very strong rainbow again right at the door. And then on his funeral day, a beautiful rainbow right outside the church stretching in an arch over the hospital building where he died. A coincidence? I have never seen so many rainbows. I see maybe a 1-3 a year. 3 in one week? Right on the doorstep? I like to think this is my dad letting me know he is OK and he is still with me." The Birthday Gift "One if my friends got me a gift for my bday today Dec 10, 2021. it was a glass cube with my mother’s face inside and my boyfriend and i were in my room and it fell on the counter and broke by itself." The Cloud "My husband passed away 4 months ago and he is with me now . I see signs from him just about every day. The best is I have a picture of a cloud and he is laying in the clouds. I just took the picture did nothing to it." The Whisper "I heard my mam whispered my name and also few weeks ago I felt her hand while I was in bed I wasn't asleep I was also holding her hand when she past away I don't know if she knew I was there with her that day I'm still crying my heart out today she past away 2 year ago I still get flash backs to this day has she met up with my dad in heaven is she ok" The Visits "I loss my mother to Covid-19 on April 25, 2020 and I have been struggling with this. She visits me at times or send symbolic things to grab my attention. Her last visit sort of frightened me but I know she wouldn't hurt me. I have joined a grief counselling group through a local church as well as a grief counselor every Tuesday for the past year and I'm not sure if it's helping me or not. I feel like someone has the hands around my throat choking me and I cannot breath while ripping my heart out of my chest while I'm awake." The Family Friend "My Dad had recently passed. I had not been sleeping well during the week of his passing. On the long journey back to my home, I was thinking what are you doing in heaven today Dad, what is on your agenda? A while later I fell asleep and I had a dream. The dream included a white In Memorial card of a family friend who had passed away 20 years earlier. The image of family friend smiled at me and said "He's doing okay" and disappeared. I had not thought of this family friend in years." Hail Storm "My mother passed on November 13th after a complicated surgery. She was only 55. When she passed I told her I know she will be mine and my daughter guardian angel and that she can go be at peace. While she has a tube in her mouth breathing for her. All of a sudden while I'm saying my goodbyes her heart stopped. Two and a half hours later it hailed really bad. Was that just a coincidence...?" Phone Signs My mom passed a week ago tomorrow. She was 60years old. Last Friday she was doing good. I feel like I've been getting signs from her on my phone. But I'd love to know if she is here with me. I think I've seen her face in my sleep." Handprint "There was a handprint on my window... Is it a sign from my deceased son?" Letters Never Sent "I live in my deceased mother's home that she also passed away in. Here recently I have been coming across letters she wrote me while I was incarcerated but never sent them. Why all Of the sudden am I coming across these letters? What is she trying to tell me?" The Date "I had been asking my husband for pictures of all the family to create and album before she had been killed. He didn’t give me any. Then days after she past he went and saw his other sister and when he got home I asked if he brought me a picture to add to my album. He went to the car and gave me a picture of his sister who had just been killed (not the one I had asked for) on the back she had wrote 3/24/19 me. We just got our adopted son 3/24 of this year right before she died and he was born in the year 2019. I felt that was her way of letting us know she was with us and our new baby. Who takes photographs anymore and definitely writes a date on them. The date has zero significance to our family at all. Except, we are huge Manning fans and come to find out a few weeks ago Payton Manning’s birthday is 3/24. It is comforting to know she is still with us." A Dog Named Zeus "My best friend who was male died unexpectedly in July 2016. I had been in a relationship going on 5 years when domestic violence occurred about 6 months before my friends death. My friend would always express his fear that I would get lonely and return to relationship in which he knew I would be killed. About a week after he died a dog showed up. He had no collar and I could not locate owner. I fell instantly in love with the dog. I started feeling like my friend sent me the dog (Zeus) to ensure I didn’t get lonely and that I have protection. Zeus was with me when I had first seizure. He would lick my face and tug on my arm. It took a day and half before someone came to home to check. The following year the man I started dating was at home: I was asleep and he said Zeus started jumping over me and swiping his paw at him. At that time he didn’t realize that Zeus was trying to let him know I was getting ready to have a seizure. He thought he wanted to play. He said I started having seizure and Zeus went into protective mode. I know deep in my heart my true friend sent me Zeus. I have never bonded with any of my pets from the past like I have with Zeus. The day after he died I asked why out loud and my lights flickered. He introduced me to Jason Aldeans music. When I have down days out of the blue “The Truth” will come on and I know it is David letting me know he is near and it will be okay. David was the brother I wish I had with my actual brothers. He loved his children more than anything and I wish he was here for them because I know they miss him every day too. Thank you for this site I am thankful to be able to share and read that others have experienced similar. Rocket Man & No More Tears "So I just got off work. Was crying on the way home as I normally do in the car thinking about my mom who passed a month prior at age 58 from ovarian cancer that metastasized to her bones. And when I got home I sat in the car flipping through classic rock Channels hoping mom would send me a sign in an Elton John song because her favourite song is "Rocket Man by Elton John and we played it at her funeral which she planned. Anyways I flipped through and landed on one playing 'mama, I’m coming home' song...caught my attention. I googled what song had the lyrics and the first thing I seen was 'mama I’m coming home' by Ozzy Osborne from the album "No More Tears, as I’m sitting there crying asking her to send me a sign. I felt in my heart it meant something and I do even more so now. Felt she was telling me no more tears, I’m still with you. Might be crazy. But might not be. Anyways just wanted to share that" 23 "My father had my brother when he was very young and gave him up for adoption. My father didn’t believe that my brother was his child and didn’t have any involvement with him. When i was 6 years old, I used to ask my mother and father unknowingly if i had another sibling. What child would ask such a question? I believe to this day, that my brother was trying to tell me who he was. Later at 14 years old, I found out that I did have a brother, just by random guess. My mom was the one who told me and told me he passed away at age 32. The signs I have gotten from this have been unexplainable. My lucky number is 23, I was born that day, my elementary school number was always 23, my nans birthday was 23 and I used the number everywhere and seen it everywhere. Recently, i’ve found out that his lucky number was 23 as well. He died on the 23rd, on his tombstone in big numbers, is the number 23, he was 32 ( the numbers switched around), and his son was born on the 23rd (i believe). I see that number everywhere and feel it is a sign from him he is with me and knows who I am...I know my brother is with me even if he is not physically here. " The Open Door "About five weeks after my sons transition, I left my house shutting my door and as usual left my door unlocked. I wasn't gone long. I came back and as I was pulling in driveway my alarm text stated door open. I yelled asking neighbor if she had seen anyone at my home. She said no but check cameras. The door was open and I walked in and realized no one was there. I sit down and screen shot the alarm text because I felt an angel opened it for me. That night I told a friend and she asked what time did the door open. I looked at the photo and it opened at 11:29. The date of his transition was 11/29." The Bedroom Butterfly "My husband has sadly died Christmas eve and morning felt sad on my own went into his bedroom and saw a butterfly I felt very happy couldn't believe it as I have several rooms in the house and he chose the right one" Pennies & Dimes "My mom passed away suddenly from complications with pneumonia. My mom suffered with many illnesses in her life. Late stage lupus, survived, breast cancer, double mastectomy, survived, bifebral bypass, survived, lung cancer, survived, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, angina, mini strokes, numerous broken bones the list goes on. My mom was a fighter. She was married to my dad for 55 years when he passed away. She depended on him. After dad died I tried to do what a could for mom. Her groceries, prepare her meals for the week, clean her house, prepare her pills each week, do her hair for her sometime, whatever I could. This went on for almost ten years. I sat with my mom almost everyday in the last ten years. I had my own issues with my back, spondylothisis, my foot had broke and necrosis was evident I needed surgery, my ankle was very bad and I would also need a knee replacement. When my dad died shortly after the funeral I started to find dimes everywhere almost everyday I knew it was dad letting me know he was near. Shortly after my mom's funeral I opened my linen closet and look in there everyday, I saw a shadow and reached to pick it up, it was a penny, I started to cry, my mom always called me her bad penny, jokingly of course. We don't even use pennies anymore, how and why? The next day I came home after being at her house, I go everyday, I noticed I wasn't feeling any pain in my foot, knee, ankle and back. I could move, i could go on my tippy toes, something I couldn't do for three years. My mom prayed for me always that I wouldn't have so much pain. My mom had great faith and belief in God. I prayed so much for my mom every time new illness showed up. My mom suffered a lot and now I believe she has no pain and God has rewarded her with her prayers answered. Love you mom" Home Security Camera - Flashing Lights "After my spouse passed, my son installed the RING camera in my home. When I turn out the great room lights and disappear to the bedroom, my camera has picked up balls of light and lights zooming across the room. One even zoomed following me when I went into the his office. One morning when I went out the front door, I heard very audible bells in my screened lanai. I know these are his signs watching over me. I am now away in another state visiting son, these lights are not on my camera while I’m not there."
"My father in law passed away last week We came into his apartment to take his belongings Last night I was putting Christmas decor away very late like 3 am And I heard like an ornament was rolling twice I asked him directly and then a charger fell How can I know that it was his message" Puff of Cold Air "Hello..my daughter passed away 04/18/2020 we were very close to each other.. I dream of her fairly often.. this one particular night I wasn't asleep and I distinctly felt a gentle puff of cold air on my cheek - it happened twice within minutes of each other. I'd like to think it was my daughter." The Deer "My mom was very ill and living at home with Hospice and around-the-clock nursing care in November and December, 2017. Before this, one of her favorite pastimes was to sit quietly and watch deer from the window to the back yard - most nights there would be two or three. That winter, there had not been many. Eventually, her condition worsened and Mom was transferred to a Hospice house. Four days in, she died there. I was in the room with her along with other family, and minutes after she passed, a doe and a yearling walked through the woods and went straight up to the window and peered right in the room. The deer did not spook when I walked to the window and took numerous photos. She just stood quietly, gazing in at us, and then slowly walked away. It was surreal and we all just observed this and didn’t really talk about it until much later. On my next visit home to see my dad, I was making dinner and looking out the window into the back yard. A deer came and then another, and another, until I stopped counting at 18. They stood across the river and stared up at the house. We talked and had lights on, but they stayed for about a half hour. Only one deer crossed the river and stood in our yard—a small doe. Every day for a couple weeks after that, she came to the yard and just stood there a few minutes. But then the visits stopped. A woman who lived downstream told my dad she had seen her, too, and strangely had been able to feed her corn - out of her hand. I know these were signs from my mom. I had asked her, while she was at Hospice, to let me know if she was okay after she passed. To give me a sign so I would know and not worry. I fully believe she did that. And she came back to check on my dad when he was alone. Things a mom would do [❤️] " The Dream Hug "I was feeling so sad about 5 days after my grandad passed. I asked God for a sign to show my grandad was looking down on me, for anything to happen. Nothing did. That night I dreamt of my grandad and in the dream I knew he had passed and was so shocked that I could see him. I thought I won’t be able to hug him but I was able to in the dream and could physically feel him. I know my grandad couldn’t give me the comfort I needed in the real world but even in my dreams he was there to make me feel better." The License Plate "My really good friend died who I loved very much and on Christmas day 5 days after she was buried I saw a license plate on front of me while I was driving with her name on it" The Tabacco Wrapper "I see a particular brand of tobbaco wrapper every where I go which was used by my father intially I ignored that as I'm grieving I'm overthinking but this has increased as the days go by I come across these wrappers multiple times a day" Country Girl "Julie was always my country girl. he loved her Luke Bryan and we saw him in concert a couple times. About 6 weeks after she passed away I was sitting in a casino that we had gone to a few times and I heard a significant song of Luke Bryan’s that we both loved to listen to just relaxing in bed together listening to music. As I hear the significant part of the song in the casino I hear about 45 seconds of it just like I was wearing headphones only I wasn’t. After that part of the song the rest of the song and other songs were played like normal. But for that 45 seconds it was like it was playing in my head. That part of the song we would laugh together as it had special meaning to the two of us. I believe she made sure I heard that part of the song by putting it in my head" 777 "I lost my Godmother Kathy, a few years ago. Her and I were instantly connected when I was 3 years old. I remember being 3 and asking her while she held me in the pool “will you be my Godmother?!” She immediately said “YES!” And she was. She was my second mom. We had a special bond. She beat cancer 2 times then the third time came around. She was tired. She was ready to go home to God. She planned her entire funeral. On her death bed, I gave her a stuffed animal bunny that we’ve passed along back and forth to each other during hard times when we lost one of our pets. She bought it for me initially to keep me comforted as my 8 year old Guinea pig died when I was very young. The first time I gave it to her, was a few years later and I was a young teen and she lost her bunny rabbit. We passed it back and forth a few more times. The last time was her death bed. My Godfather told me the second it hit her hands, for 4 weeks she never put it down. She would hold it and pet it as if it were real. When she got sick, she was ready to fight it again. She told us her lucky number is 7. That’s how she knew everything would be ok. Not knowing then, but knowing now, I believe this was a message from God telling her it’s ok, she’s going home and she wouldn’t have to fight or suffer anymore. She would see the number 7 everywhere. All her Dr appointments were on a “7”. One was 7/7/17. She was positive about getting thru this round again. As time went on it got harder and harder for her. She didn’t want to be a burden on her family anymore. We told her to come live with us and we’ll take care of her. She didn’t agree because her family would still have to see and know she is going thru too much. One night my husband and I were driving from Boston visiting our son, to Florida, then to Georgia to pick up some things for my father in law. My husband was asleep and it was 3:37 Am (Gods numbers. Kathy, like myself loved Gods numbers!) and I looked down at the GPS while driving and it said we were 777 miles from Our destination. I instantly said out loud “Hey Kathy!” I knew she was with me! I got goosebumps everywhere and I couldn’t believe 777 miles left to go right at my favorite place to look! I had been driving silently talking to her in my head during this. Not even 30 seconds later, I passed by Richmond train station (my favorite building I’ve been drawn to since I was a kid. I thought it was a church up until this year! I always starred at it as we drove past and always took a pic or video of it! I’d also ask for someone to wake me up out of my sleep just to look at it and take a pic!) and as soon as I passed the train station, I looked to my right (which i never did bc I always was too infatuated with the train station on my left to ever notice anything on the other side!) I saw a huge billboard that said “YES YOU SAW 7s” from a lottery billboard ad. I didn’t question for one second after seeing this that it was my Godmother and she was telling me she’s with me and everything is ok I talk to her everyday and always asking for a sign from her. This one was the most clearest signs I’ve ever experienced" Yellow Roses Rainbow "At my dad's grave, his birthday today the 13th March, arranged the yellow roses and after saying how much i love and miss him i ask him to please now be my daughters guardian angel, i get up to leave and a rainbow broke through the cloud, all the way down to the entrance then disappeared." The Drive "My 20 year old son passed away on May 9th 2020 almost 2 years ago. I swear it seems like yesterday, not a day goes by that I don't mention him or cry. Well at the time of his death I was out of state in Arizona. My son and I had made plans for him to try college out in Arizona being that California colleges were so expensive. I took the first flight back home to California to work out the funeral arrangements with his father. The second day I was in Fresno, CA where he lived I was driving early morning to his house and right as I turned down his street I heard my son very clear but faint, he said "Im sorry mom, Im sorry." He died of an accidental overdose due to a Fentanyl laced pill he thought was Xanax. When I heard it, I just started to cry because it felt so good to hear him just that one last time. I love and miss my son more that anything in this world. At night before I go to sleep I look up and say, "God has you in his hands, but Ill always have you in my heart." I love you Jojo." Favorite Hoodie "So my father passed away only over a month or 2 ago ( January), he had suffered alcoholism throughout his life as much as many of my family did but he died of a accidentlly overdose, recently I started to notice strange things happen, doors would open and shut, things would disappear and reappear, In the corner of my eye sometimes I see his shadow walk past me in the night I rub my eyes and he's gone, I feel him close as when it came to his funeral I managed to get his favourite hoodie and a photo of him and me when I was a baby, we never had the best memories growing up as I didn't see him for 6 years but when I saw him he always tried to make the most of it by going on days out and travelling around the city, I always feel his presence near by because ever since he left something has never left me, I don't know if its due to the grief as a 18 year old should never have to say goodbye to their father or any parent at that age, I knew something was up that night when I couldn't sleep like something was keeping me from sleeping, weird stuff happens everyday and I reply I'll say I know your here dad or I love you dad and everything's just stops happening and goes quiet, what does anybody do with a loved ones item's I always think to myself like do I box it up in a memory box I don't know but I know he always loved me and I'll forever treasure the time I spent with him" The Coin "My husband of over 40 years past suddenly and this morning out of the blue I found a coin in my bath tub? My husband saved them from all over and I have a whole collection of his in his room, untouched, could this finally be a sign that he is reaching out to me?" COVID19 "In April 2004 my older sister Jaclyn passed away. She was 13. I had a horrible time with this as I grew older and lived with horrible survivors guilt. I regretted every positive thing that happened in my life because it was a moment she would never have. I tried but I just couldn’t believe that she was anything but unconscious and dead. Fast forward to August 2020 and my 58 year old father fell extremely ill with Covid 19 and was on a ventilator for weeks. His heart was going into arrhythmia and he had a horrible prognosis for survival. Anyway, he did survive and the first thing I asked him when he left the ICU was if he remembered anything of the experience. My father is very logic driven and extremely unemotional. He sort of teared up and said it was the most amazing experience of his life. He said he at some point found himself away from his body and saw my sister and many other deceased relatives welcoming him home but that it wasn’t his time yet and he returned to his body. He said he was filled with peace and love and that it was more real than a dream or any experience in his life. He said he no longer would ever have any doubt about where his daughter was and looked forward to being with her again. I loved what he was saying but I am highly skeptical of anything spiritual almost to the point of being a cynic even though I try not to be. I kept thinking there must be some sort of physiological explanation for what he experienced because it was just to good to be true. I still was in a very dark place with this. Well, a few months ago I was home visiting family for the first time in a few years. We were all out to eat at an extremely crowded restaurant and our waitress, literally out of the blue, decided to tell us about her experience when she too fell I’ll with Covid. She said she was borderline on if she would survive but she said she was not scared. She said on one of her sickest nights she felt God surround her and she felt totally at peace if she were to die. I was floored. This woman probably had fifteen tables to serve at that time, no one provoked this conversation at all, and what she said spoke directly to what I had been so vehemently troubled with for so long. I mean when does a waitress ever just open up to a complete stranger about a profound spiritual near death experience? I could no longer deny it and I feel so wonderful after all these years knowing that my sister is truly okay because I know that what my dad saw was real." The Bunny "My Mom loved the wild rabbit that always came to her yard to nest her babies. When mom was in the hospital she asked me if I had seen the rabbit which I hadn't. A few days later my mom died. 3 days after the funeral I stopped to check on my step dad and there was the rabbit just looking at me. I knew that was a sign from mom. The rabbit never scurried away. Now every time I check on step dad the rabbit is there. I know she has a nest near by but t makes me feel warm inside when I see mom bunny." The Text Message "My daughter passed away at the age of 40, 18 months ago, leaving behind a grieving family. She loved God & I know she is with Him. Today while I was driving my new car (which notifies me on front screen, of any incoming text messages on my phone) suddenly went off! I looked & there was her name ANNA! I was so shocked that by the time I pushed my finger on " listen to message", it disappeared! After I parked the car, I checked my phone texts & nothing was there! I have kept my Anna in my contact list, thoughI know, her husband deactivated her phone after her death. I know that I know she was sending me a message that she was there. I love & miss her so much. It was such a special moment that I'm still crying." The Truck & The Wind "My son Tristan died two weeks after his 20th birthday. On the way to the cemetery my brother, sister and niece were leading the entire precession in his beloved truck he’d restored and some cool stuff started happen. Days before the funeral the passengers seat reclined and wouldn’t lock in place so it was handing down into the back seat, the radio stopped working and the drivers window wouldn’t roll up all the way. Sandy said she got in and the passengers seat locked into the upright position, then niece said “Hey Tristan will you fix that window it’s cold in here” and when my brother went to roll it up it worked like a charm. The cemetery was over an hour from the church so my brother made the comment, “ I wished the radio worked” and it came on that very second. They knew it was my son. Tristan also loved to hear me sing, I sang to him even in the womb. Since our pastor wouldn’t let me sing at his funeral I decided to sing to songs at graveside. It was right before Christmas so it was cold and the air was still “very still”. I first sand Amazing Grace but when I sang the second and final song “I’ll Fly Away” it remained completely still until I hit the first very and at the end of the first line of the chorus… I got out the words… “I’ll Fly Away (and a huge rush of wind came out of nowhere), the next words were…Oh Glory, I’ll Fly Away” it stopped and went right back to completely no wind. It was noticeable to everyone there. The gust had to have been close to 40 mph, I remember having to plant my feet. My sister said that was definitely Tristan flying away and letting us know he can fly and he’s here. Weeks after his funeral I was driving home for the first time time since he’d passed and my radio was playing a sing and right in the middle of the song that was playing (and without me doing anything) one of his favorite songs started playing. A week later I had my cellphone on the bedside in sleep mode with the screen dimmed. My iPhone has to either have my facial recognition or the passcode to open so this was wild, all the sudden a YouTube video on working on cars started playing and not only was it locked and sleeping all my apps and web search’s were closed. A month or so had passed and a yellow lighter appeared out of thin air. Tristan didn’t like to drink alcohol or take any medication not even a Tylenol but he did like smoking marijuana. (Please don’t judge!) I don’t smoke cigarettes or marijuana and I’d just boxed all of his belongings and my house is uncluttered and clean. I got home from work and a bright yellow Bic lighter was laying in the open on my dresser. I said, hey Tristan, I know that was you since nobody else lives here or has visited..." The Hug "I get very sad thinking back on my dad and grandfather. They both died the year I turned ten...One day I walked into my living room it's getting ready to go outside the front door and I thought somebody come up behind me and wrap their arms around me, it filled me with so much love. Even now 50 years later, if I really think about it I can feel that hug, I can feel that love. It was my grandfather, should come to me a couple times while I was going through that a hand on my shoulder a touch. It's funny I loved my grandpa but I didn't get to see him a lot... First year after my father passed away ( he was killed while flying for Civil Air patrol) every so often I would go downstairs and I would smell his Old Spice cologne I know he was there... I believe that if you open yourself with your love for that person they'll come to you in a little bits or perhaps larger times. Just love it didn't die. Thank God" The Foot of the Bed "I was awaken for some reason I looked and my daughter was standing at the foot of my bed she has been deceased for 8 months then. I felt someone sit on the side of my bed it all happen with in a few seconds but I’m sure it was her that woke me it was the most peaceful feeling I have had in a while . I have been asking her and talking to her all the time begging her to give me a sign and I’m sure she did thank u so much for listening to me" Auto Light "My lights at my house have never come in by themselves. I lived in my place for 9 months.. My friend died yesterday and my bedroom light came on by itself." The Grandfather Clock In the past 2 years I've lost my mother , my mother in law and 2 weeks ago my daughter lost twin boys , she was 21 weeks pregnant . I have my mothers grandfather clock and it has never really worked but out of the blue it started chiming for 2 days and now nothing" Colorful Lights "One night a few nights after my grandma passed away I was laying in my bed trying to sleep but I then began thinking of my grandma, the wonderful times we had and everything and I saw this strange colorful light across from me when I opened my eyes... It couldn't have came from anywhere because all my lights were off in my room... I wasn't scared or anything.. I knew it was her.. because I was thinking of her and grieving.. she had to reassure me everything was okay And she was in a better place.. thats why the lights were colorful instead of dark .. I miss her so much and still think of her to this day. She was my best friend." Feeling of Healing "After my dad passed away, he seemed to stay with me for quite a while. I was very sensitive and psychically open at the time, and he would come to me during meditations and during sleep. I could experience his love and warmth, and h ere is one of the most profound experiences I had: I was going through a devastating time after he passed, and after my girlfriend and I broke up - and I was having major pains in my right side. One night while sleeping, my dad showed up at my door with an angel who looked like an extraterrestrial and introduced me. At that moment, the angel healed my right side and I could feel it and woke up with the most incredible feeling of healing there, and the pain went away completely. It was amazing. I had many other such experiences of my dad's love and warmth." Footsteps Upstairs "I have two experiences from my son. I found my son unconscious in our home and five days later he was taken off the ventilator. He was my first born and only son. My first experience was the day before he was taken off the ventilator I was sitting on porch and I heard like workbooks just came in the door. The funny thing about that was the dog was not barking. I went in the house sat in the kitchen to listen to foot step upstairs over his room. Within five minutes my daughter came in the house and I told her i thought he had just passed because of the footsteps. The next day when they took him off the ventilator it took him 6 hours to pass did not want to die. On our way home e after he passed I felt a warm feeling all over my body and i just started to smile after crying this whole time. I have never felt this feeling before it was warm and peaceful. I believe that was my son.." The Dimming Lights "My mother recently passed and around that time my smoke alarm sounded and the lights dimmed for about 3 full seconds at both my house and the house of my sister 4 doors away. Her TV flickered off and her lights dimmed at almost or exactly the same time. It did not happen to my next door neighbor."
