It seems that many deceased loved ones continue to linger around their family. I’m not sure why some choose to make their presence known while others do not, but perhaps Vickie Majors’ story will shed some light.
My father died in 1990. We were so close that I just knew he would come to me. Many years passed and I gave up on the idea of hearing from him. When I was going through my divorce in 2000, he finally came to visit. I was in a deep depression. Most of my inspiration comes to me when I sleep or when I am slightly awake in the early hours of the morning, and that was when I heard my father’s voice. He was at the foot of my bed and looked just like he did before he got sick. He appeared to be in the form of a mirage or a hologram. I asked him why he hadn't visited me earlier. He said that I hadn't needed him before. He wanted me to know that he was fine and that I was going to be fine too. He said he was always close by, watching over Mama and me. He said he was proud of me and that he loved me.
His visit brought me tremendous peace during that very difficult time in my life. I’ve known of his presence since then and have heard his voice, but have never seen his image again. And now, as I write this I can still feel his presence. Sometimes I experience a tingling down the whole right side of my body. It grows stronger, and at times it will immobilize me and my hair stands on end. I remain still while the sensation subsides, then I speak to my dad and acknowledge his presence. I also try to listen to what he is trying to tell me. I feel so incredibly loved and blessed after one of these episodes. It doesn't happen very often but I wish it would. I LOVE to feel his presence.

i'm sure i possibly heard my mothers voice saying 'MICHAEL' very slowly one night while i was in bed.She passed away 3 months ago.
my mon died on 12/26/2010 on 1/3/2011 i heard her yell my name michele
I find it very comforting to know that our "deceased" loved ones are still alive in another dimension and that they watch over us.
My husband of 28 years passed away from esophageal cancer August 13th. Last Saturday night while I was asleep I felt something touch my hand. The touch made me feel like he was inside of me. I tried to scream and he said, It's ok Ju (he is the only one who called me that), it's me." I then did scream and woke up. He was of course no longer in the bed with me. It did not comfort me if that was his intention, it spooked me.
Judi, I'm sure your husband did not mean to frighten you. If you do not want him to interact with you in this manner, just tell him. Spirits typically honor such requests.
My husband of 30 years passed away january 13, 2011 from cancer. I have attempted to move on with my life and have experienced the usual reservations of doing so but I am trying. For months now I have not felt the presence of my love and recently I have been going through some personal issues and am having to make some hard decisions. Last night as I slept I was awoken by a familiar smell his cologne Azzaro there is none in my home after awakening I sat up in bed and standing very clearly was my late husband smile and all. He didnt speak but I felt words if that makes sense? "Red (he called me that when he wanted to get a point across to me) you have earned the right - you shouldn't have to try so hard it's up to them."them he was gone no smell no smile just a feeling of absolute love
What a beautiful story, Jean! It must have been very comforting to see and "hear" your beloved. My grandfather came to me in a dream once when I was having a time with my teenage daughter. He gave me a sentence of advice (it was communicated telepathically like your husband did with you). I heeded his advice and the situation resolved within days.
I live in a studio apartment where furnitures are in close proximity to each other - I can pretty much see everything while lying down in my bed. This morning, while I was half asleep, I turned to my left and saw what seemed like a mirage of my little brother sitting on my sofa. Even though I could not see his eyes, nose, or lips - just an outline of his body - I knew he was watching me. I went back to sleep and when I woke up, I immediately called my dad who told me my aunt had a dream about my brother too. However, my experience was not in my dreams, but in real life. This has never happened to me before and it has been over 15 years since my brother passed away from a drowning accident. I only dream about my brother or see symbols that remind me of him. I am 29 years old and currently going through one of the most difficult emotional and spiritual periods in my life. From the outside things are great but deep inside I feel alone and maybe my brother made his presence known to help me put life in perspective again. He was 4 years old when he died which broke not only my heart but the hearts of my dad, stepmom, and entire family. I feel somewhat peaceful - more more so have an urge to fulfill my forgotten potential in ode of my little brother. Your post inspired me because I Googled if anyone has ever experienced what I experienced this morning. It is nice to know we are not alone.
There's always a reason our loved ones come to us in spirit--they care about us and are there to help lift us up when we need an energetic boost. ItsMayor, thank you for sharing your story about how your little brother came to you. I hope you feel encouraged and will follow through with your goals to find joy in life.
3 weeks ago I had a spiritual experience with my grandmother, who died 24 years ago. I was tucking a cover on the sofa, and on my last tuck, my grandmother entered my body. I immediately knew it was her. With a light, sweet voice she said to me," I am in heaven,I'm Ok,I no longer have (earthly) pain, you will be ok, and you will be here(heaven).Then she was gone. It was her, and I was left with a feeling of peace. I know she is with me now. She visited me when I had an extremely stressful, life changing meeting that was to occur in same week. She came to let me know she cares about me. It was my grandmother. I haven't doubted since it happened. I have no reason too.
Thank you for sharing your story, leeann61111. What a comforting message from your grandmother. she is certainly with you in spirit and is expecting you when you arrive on the other side. You are right; there is no reason to doubt that it was her.
Thank you for that information, Jefferson. I appreciate your taking time to share with us.
my 26 yr old son died suddenly. he was an officer in the Marines training to become a fightor pilot. A nite after he died, I heard "mama" twice in a weak young sounding voice. The next nite, it was about 2:00am. Husband was asleep, I was wide awake, the house was silent. Suddenly, from a room away, I heard MY SON's VOICE clearly say 2 or 3 words but I could not make them out. A few nights later I was in his room. I asked him to make a sound if he could hear me. Immediately, the closet creaked loudly. I asked again, it did it again. This happened 5 times directly after I asked. Then I felt a presence very strongly and could see a slight illumination but of no shape. I started to cry and had my eyes closed. Suddenly, it felt as if 2 fingers poked me in each eye gently. That is my son. He was always playing with me and picking me up and making me scream. The closet hasn't creaked since and it's been 3 months. He called me mama.
Lindy, thank you for leaving a comment here. As you can tell from others who have shared on this post, it is common for our deceased loved ones to let us know they are okay--especially in the weeks and months following their departure. They typically move on after you get the message they wanted you to have, but they still drop by and check on us from time to time. While they don't usually hang out in the earth plane (unless they have agreed to be your guide), they are easy to connect with by just calling their names or thinking about them. This creates a signal, an energetic vibration that they can sense and respond to.
Thanks again for dropping by and commenting.

My mom passed away January 04, 2012. About an hour ago my son Who is 21 came flying out of his run crying like I honestly have never seen. When I asked him what was wrong he said grandma was just in his room. All I could do was hold him and let him know how fortunate he was to receive that visit. I wait for such a visit... He helped me to care for my mom. When she passed we moved an hour and a half from our home. I'm so glad she knows where we are...
You talked about a guide, if they agree to be your guide.? What does this mean?
I'm also glad Grandma visited your son! You were wise to comfort him and let him know that this is not an unusual occurrence or something to be afraid of. Your son is fortunate that he is able to see in the spirit realm.
Our loved ones check on us a lot more often than we might imagine.
I have learned to recognize my ancestors presence by the signs they give me. My aunt has visited about a dozen times since she passed in 2009. She is always welcome.
Yea, what did you mean by "if they agree to be your spirit guide"?
Lou, if a deceased loved one and you are working together on soul development, you may both be in body at the same time, or you may both be dis-incarnated at the same time. Or, one may be in body while the other serves as a helping spirit or guide from the other side. These partnerships are agreed upon at a soul level, so it's not likely that you can choose a deceased loved one to be your guide (they may have other work to do in the afterlife). If they are your guide, you will be aware of their presence a lot more often than just a brief stop-by every now and then.
I hope that helps.
I lost a family friend about a month ago. He was like a grandfather to me, and was a huge part of my heart and life. He had Alzheimer's for about six years, and was really suffering towards the end. I have always had strange intuition and, as you mentioned, I discovered my father is one of my guides (he passed away when I was little and is often with me). When my friend started to to fade with the Alzheimer's I could always tell when it was the real him and when it wasnt, as crazy as it may sound. Not only were we close on many levels, but lately I have felt as though we have always been connected on a deep level I cannot explain. Having this ability allowed me to cope better than others until the last year or so. Before he died, I had the strange sensation he was with me, even though he hadnt passed yet. I really struggled at the end because I repeatedly tried to tell him (in my mind) to let go, but the thought of him doing so also broke my heart.
The night he passed, I was having a hard time falling asleep. All of a sudden, I saw his face. He was surrounded by light and looked so so happy. He was beaming, and told me he loved me, and that it will be okay. Then he hugged me, which was the weirdest sensation until I fell asleep.
I have told him I would like him to be with me if he wants once I have healed, and have been hoping what I have felt is real. I dont feel him all the time, which I feel is accurate. I think hes probably keeping his distance right now so I can adjust to the change and not depend on him. I have been experiencing things like seeing his face, feeling his hand on my shoulder, hearing his voice and laugh, and hearing thoughts I dont believe to be my own.
I feel I am following my instincts correctly because I have made an effort to not obsess, and to focus on other things, as well as have a life. But as anyone hurting, he literally had half of my heart, and the world feels very weird and different without him here. Of course I'm happy he is no longer suffering but its hard to realize that I can no longer see him or talk to him.
Also, I have been thinking... do you think its possible for him to have become one of my guides? I feel it would make sense. It would explain why I could always tell when he was himself. And we were so so connected, I almost feel that he is probably missing me too. I'm sure he knows I believe, and that would allow to communicate with me, and come and go, while knowing it won't freak me out.
I apologize for the long post. I have just been feeling like I needed to say all of this out loud to someone who might share my point of view with intuition. Thank you for listening and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. :)
I have finally spoken to my dead mum,she pasted on exactly 4 years ago.When we wanted to do something significant during her remembrance,we called our home town to ask our neighbor how to go about it because during their late uncle remembrance they told us that they contacted a powerful diviner that communicates with the dead,i guess what they communicated with their late uncle.We did likewise,thanks to Doctor ekadu.i hope you will be interested in talking to your dead loved ones someday,His contacted is...ekaduspell@hotmail.com
Myself and my 2 girls have been hearing someone calling our names like my dad used to do, he passed in 2008. We have heard a voice through the tv, have heard sounds unexplained. My 2 year old grandson, laughs when no one is around, and sometimes cries out of the blue while staring at the wall. How do i know who this is, and do i talk back? it gets scary. i so want it to be my dad, i dream about him alot
Call upon your guides as well as Archangels Michael and Chamuel and ask then to clear any detrimental or harmful energy from your home and personal space. You can use sage to smudge the area if you feel led to. The activity should cease, and you know it was not your father. Next, ask your father to reveal himself in a way that you will know without a doubt that it is him. There are certain things that were characteristic of him and you will recognize these traits. Be sure to pay attention to synchronicity, animals and objects that cross your path, songs you hear on the radio, and smells that represent him. You may even taste or have a craving for a food that was his favorite.
I trust this will help you identify your visitor and remove any unwanted energy that is not serving you. Keep us posted as to how this goes.
Chrissy, it is indeed possible for a deceased loved one to become your guide after leaving the body. Souls have "friends" or partners that help one another with soul development. one may be in body while the other is in spirit serving as a guide or support. Or, they may both incarnate at the same time and be in close proximity to assist in human form. They can also work together in spirit without a body.
Thank you very much Yvonne, this has been happening for over 8 months, I will try the sage and will let you know the outcome, Thank you again
You are very welcome, Karen. Do keep in touch.
Thank you very much for blessing me with these posts and comments. My mom passed away 2 weeks ago after a battle with a rare disease called scleroderma. I am only 21 years old and the past two weeks have been so hard and I know it will only get harder as major milestones in my adult life come and go. But through these comments I have found hope and faith that my mom will come to me with a sign that she is now okay and not suffering. I now know that my mom will be with me forever.
Victoria, thank you for leaving a comment here. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in losing your mom so recently. I trust that she will give you a sign that she is with you.
Hi Yvonne,
My mum passed away a year ago. I loved her so much. In the weeks after she died, I have had two very vivid dreams where we speak normally together - just as if we would have. The next days I was so emotional as they were so incredibly real, and in no way dream like at all. In another dream she kissed me and I could feel the kiss for days. Recently, I have the feeling that she is "inside" me. It's as if I am in her body, with her mannerisms. This usually happens during mundane day to day activities in house or when I am sitting down. They don't last very long. What does this mean? Sas
It is very common for people to have very real dreams about their deceased loved one. when one of these dreams stick with you in a profound manner, these are actual visitations rather than processing dreams.
We are in a period of time when human consciousness as a whole is shifting into purer (less diluted and separate) form. Future and past selves as well as advanced and highly evolved aspects are merging. Thus, we have some unusual situations in which we feel like we have merged with others who were once in our lives. This is because that "other" person who played a role in our life was actually a very close member of our soul family/group or possibly even as aspect of our own essence. I've written a book about this titled Walk-ins Among Us. See http://walkinsamongus.org if you are interested in learning more about soul merging and integration.
Thank you Yvonne for your response. I've just been reading your site too. Is there anything that I can do to be more receptive of this and for communication?
Being receptive and asking for a visit is the key to sensing your loved ones around you. The second thing (after paying attention to the signs they give you) is to believe what you hear, see, or sense rather than second guessing it.
Thank you - I'm just off to buy your book too.
Best wishes and thank you so very much to have shared this with you.
Thank you for reading my book. Let me know if you have more questions.
I live in London. I have just been reading on your website that you offer coaching. As I am so far away and don't have skype etc is this something that could be done via email. Is there a website to find out more about the type of coaching i.e. costs and whether I am suitable for coaching.
Best wishes
I typically use Skype for my out-of-US clients, but those who do not have that option may email me through my website to set up email coaching. http://weare1inspirit.com
I had a boyfriend commit suicide about 12 years ago. For many years he was a strong pressance in my dreams. Dreaming that he took me to show me where he stays now, it was a weird beach, with very dark waters, but felt peaceful. I havent dreamt or felt him much lately, which saddens me. I always try to ask him to come and visit, he hasnt. The last time was months ago, when I was very sick with the flu. He came to me and held me and I cried because I didnt want him to leave, he looked over his shoulder as if he was talking to someone and told them that I wanted him to stay a little longer, I heard other voices say he couldnt, that he had to leave. we said our goodbyes and i love yous, i havent had contact since then. I guess I would like to know why they will come all the time, then visit so scarcely...
Souls have work to do in other dimensions. therefore, after they leave their body, there is a grace period (varies from one soul to the next) in which the soul may hang out around the family it just left. After the grace period is up, it's back to work and the visits become less frequent.
My little 2 year old grandson has been telling myself (his grandmother) and his mom that Ole MeiMei is here. She is my Mother that passed almost two years ago. My Mama got to hold Zachary when he was a few months old when her health was declining and she was in the nursing home. Every now and then thru the last year I would show him her picture and he would kiss the picture of ole Mei Mei. Lately when in my bathroom he will say "Ole MeiMei is here" and point to the ceiling, always in same place, and at his home he'll say "I see Ole MeiMei." It brings comfort, but does this mean he sees other spirits or just her. He has trouble staying asleep all night wakes up crying and wants to be downstairs on sofa. We say "oh that's nice Ole MeiMei is here" and then we go on with other conversations. I believe that is the right thing to do.I wish I could see my Mom but I do talk to her.I see no reason that Zack would say this other than he does see her, but he is not afraid when he says it. What do you think? We are Catholics, not sure how to feel about this. Thank you so much! I told My Mom outloud the other day that if other spirits were bothering him to please tell them to stop scaring him at night, and since then he has slept all night. Sincerely Claudette Charlet tcharlet5@gmail.com
My husbands grandfather past away recently and it was very hard for my husband to cope with. last night he woke me up because he said he heard someone talking to him but cant remember what the person was saying and he couldnt talk or move. he said it felt like someone was holding his hands. it happened twice last night, his grandfather and him where very close that man was the rock of our family. could it possibly be him reaching out to my husband? or just how my husband is dealing with his grief?
Deceased loved ones often come to us in dreams because that is when we are less guarded with all our filters that don't allow us to believe that supernatural encounters are the norm rather than the unexpected or impossible.
I've had many people report that they could feel the spirit of a loved one touching them or sitting on the bed with them during these visits. They come to us from other side to help us move past our grief in the early months after their passing, which many times helps us find closure. They come at various times afterward to help us get through a difficult situation. Yes, it is very possibly that your husband's grandfather paid him a visit to help him deal with his grief.

Titi, it is not uncommon for loved ones to appear to us younger than they were when they passed. They are able to take on any identity from any lifetime. Actually, I believe that all lifetimes run simultaneously and that there is no "passed" or future lives. All is now.
My Dad just died suddenly last week, and just like some other people who commented my mother and me were very spooked at first but now we are trying to hide our fear so he will not be discouraged by our fear but, When it first happens your natural reaction is to have fear (unlike any earthly fear you have felt before) Its a totally different kind of scared, but once you realize its someone you love it's easier to accept! Be grateful most people never get any contact with a recently deceased loved one! DON'T BE SCARED!
It can be unnerving when you first have an encounter with a disembodied spirit. I remember when I first started communicating with them. I was afraid at first then it became annoying because they were in my bedroom waking me up in the middle of the night. I had to set boundaries with them and that stopped the interruption.
It is comforting when we learn that we actually know the spirit and that they many times have a message for us--mainly to let us know they are okay in the afterlife. They like to know that we are okay too.
my mother pass 1 year and 2months ago..my brother and sister passed away 9years ago. my mother had three children God kept me here for a reason. myself and my dad never had that dad son relationship. my sister came back to visit me. my mother and brother hasn't. I'm OK on the outside but I'm hurting on the inside. I need my mother to come visit me. my dad has a wife and three other grown children. only one of the girl get alone with me but we don't talk much. they are in there on world. I need help
It's hard to say why some loved ones come to visit and others don't. I have reason to believe it has to do with these three things:
1. the connection/lack of connection they felt for you during their life time,
2. their after-Earth life mission (locale or ability/inability to connect with the earth plane),
3. whether or not they had unfinished business with you
Feel free to suggest other reasons, but these are the most common ones that I have come across in my research.

My Grandmother died September 2013. Almost 3 weeks later I left my room for about 20 seconds. When I returned there was an over whelming smell of flowers in the room. It was so thick like I never smelled before. I checked the other rooms no smell. Then returned there it was again. Shockingly thick. I knew who it was my grandmother. It felt creepy because the smell was over powering. But overall comforting. It went away after about 2 hours. 2 weeks later this smell was infront of my neighbor in my house. She said come here smell. I did and there it was , but only in ine area then itvis gone. Ever since she has been there every day all day or night. Doorways , all rooms and hallways mostly. She has followed me when running errands in car, outside just about anywhere. It has been about two and a half months now. Some days it seems easier and the smell not under my nose all day long anymore. Also smell not as potend anymore. Then the next day she will be there all day again. Had priest come in even though I'm not Catholic. After that was more tolerable as far as the smell not as potent or hot and cold spots being as powerful. I was vey happy at first when she visited and felt comfort. But now that she is here every day and pretty much all day i'm creeped out to say the least. She is also not shy infront of some of my friends or neighbors. I know it's my grandmother I also often smell her perfume from when she was younger in germany. My cat follows her with her eyes and smells her leaning forward. I have had a very heavy spiritual experience with my grandfather which was her husband. I'm not feeling comfortable anymore not knowing if she is going to leave and go to her final resting place. Have tried sage and all. We were close but have not been able to see her do to family problems. But I wanted ti see her. I want to know is she earthbound and attached to me? Or will she move on? I love her very much but it is time to move on.
I would say this is an earthbound spirit or soul aspect that did not cross over. This invasion (even though she's your grandmother) is like having a friend show up at your door uninvited everyday and stay until all hours while disrespecting your privacy. This is not comforting and personally, I would not allow it.
If you have used sage and asked her to leave, and she doesn't, then ask yourself what you are doing to allow or require her presence there. Is there some unfinished business between the two of you? Call in your highest guidance aligned with the Light and then sit down with her and say whatever it is you need to say. Thank her for being in your life while she was in body and let her know that you love her but need her to leave. Tell her how she is negatively affecting you. Most deceased loved ones do not want to cause harm to their family members--they just don't know they are being a bother. Your grandmother may have something to say to you that will give her the peace and resolution she needs to move on. Then call upon archangels Michael and Chamuel and ask them to escort her to the light or some place in the afterlife where she can continue her soul's development and ascension.
I hope that helps you resolve this intrusion. Feel free to keep in touch and let me know how you are progressing.
Can your death family members try to take you with them? or can they show you or somehow let you know when something bad is going to happen?
I've heard people say that loved ones who have passed from the body have urged an incarnated soul to die in order to join them in the afterlife. This cord is an unhealthy attachment--even if the entity is a loved one--that needs to be cut. Remember that ghosts or spirits are just humans without bodies. If a person tried to manipulate you while they were in body, they may likely continue to do so from the afterlife. Setting strong boundaries with this soul/entity is very important so that you are not talked into abandoning your mission just to please the deceased.
My ex fiance recently died a tragic death. He was depressed and took too many tylenol. He and I were so much in love but life caught up with us and I moved to the city while he stayed in the country. I have never stopped loving him and he had wanted us to try again for the last year but I didn't because I didn't want to move. He died thinking I didn't love him and its killing me. I think he is trying to contact me. I have felt him lay down on my bed actually see the matteras move. I have felt little feather touches on my cheeks and arms. And the other night I woke up to get some water and I was thinking of him. A burst of blue light like a camera flash went off by the bathroom mirror. I am positive this is him. I feel grateful to have had these experiences. I really hope I see him. Do you think he can hear me? I want to apologize and tell him I do love him.
If your ex-fiance has gone to this much trouble to let you know that he is with you, you can bet that he can also hear you. Light a candle and sit down like he's there with you (because he is!) and tell him everything that is on your heart. Make sure that you let him know that it is okay for him to go into the light and that you will be okay. Higher missions and developmental opportunities await his soul in the afterlife. He and you can ask for angels and his I AM presence to escort him to these loving experiences in more beautiful realms.
Highest and best to you both!
When two people are in love and one dies. Is that other person with them? When both die are their souls together like in earth? How does it change.
My husband was murdered 5 hours after we got married, on my wedding day. We were totally in love with each other. The day after he was killed, was when he started to connect with me and it has continued. few hour's after he was killed, he actually showed me that he was still around by making my garter fall off my leg in two pieces. I actually felt as if it had been cut, while I was sitting down talking to the detectives. I knew it was him straight away, because I smiled. At first his spiritual presences where so heavy, like he did not know how to control his new power. He has connected with me in so many ways, the list is endless.
One of the ways is through my dreams. Two nights ago I had a wonderful visitation. I was laying down in my bed when I felt the cover being pulled from over my head. I knew it was him straight away, my head started to go all tingly and spinning. I couldn't move or talk. I saw the torso of my husband right in front of me I knew it was him, because he took my hand and put it around his waist, like he wanted me to feel him. I ran my hand over his chest and felt that he had his white ribbed vest on. I knew that this was not a dream as I could feel his warmth. I lifted my hand to touch his arm; squeezing it, I could actually feel the touch of him. He never said a word and within seconds he was gone. When I came to myself, all that morning I could feel him around me, as it is so easy for me to tell now; as my head goes all tingly. To confirm that he was really here he also left me another sign.
I have an open bible with my husband's red handkerchief, I've displayed it between the page like a book mark. While I was talking to my son; I felt my husband around me near the window where the bible was placed, which was high up on the shelf. I tuned around to see that the handkerchief was no longer in the bible it was hanging down like a flag out of the bible. My son was a little unnerved, but I was able to comfort him and let him know that it was ok. My husband really makes huge efforts to show me that his soul is still very much alive. This has really helped with the grieving process.

While losing your husband through murder on your wedding night is the most sad thing to have to endure, it sure is comforting to see how he is still blessing you with his presence in so many tangible ways. Thank you so much for sharing this!

My dad passed in 2003 and my mom in 2008. 2 nights ago on Christmas Eve into Christmas at 1:10 a.m. my mom clearly called out my name. I was wide awake lying in bed at the time. Both my dogs heard her voice as they perked right up, and my one dog who is DEAF barked at her and ran after her.
My deaf dog is ALWAYS barking at something / someone he sees in the house. He even goes running into the hallway and into one of the bedrooms. I'm positive they see my parents because I feel their presence in the home every day. I live in my parents' home - the home I grew up in.
These visitations are welcoming and comforting to me.
The first time my mom came to see me was less than a year after she passed away. I saw her in the hallway outside my bedroom one night. I got out of bed, went to her, and started crying. She asked me, "Why are you crying?" I said, "Mom, I miss you SO much." She said, "I'm fine." I went to hug her, and she was gone.
She has come back to me on many occasions -- a year later waking me up to tell me that I had left the spaghetti pot on the stove and had better "GET UP! You're going to burn the house down!" I woke up and remembered I had spaghetti that night and was so tired, I laid down for a bit. I ran out to the kitchen and, sure enough, I HAD left the spaghetti pot on a stove burner that was on.
I've also heard my parents talking to each other in their bedroom very late at night (although I couldn't make out what they were saying), and have had several very real dreams with them. One dream was that I was with them at a bus terminal. The 3of us were going somewhere. The bus arrived, and they were no longer in line. Instead, I saw them standing against the wall of the terminal. I said, "Come on - you'll miss the bus." My dad said, "You get on it. You still have a lot of things to do. Don't worry about us. Your mom and I will be here waiting for you when you're done."
Last week when I was in my home office, I smelled my mom's perfume twice on 2 nights.
I dream a lot about my dad but he comes to me in very vivid dreams. I KNOW he is with me continually, because I talk to him every day, and I hear him in my head telling me, "Your mom and I have never left you." I asked my dad last week to give me a signal that he's with me, and he said, "It's in the house. You'll have to find it." "Great," I thought. "Where in the house?" I opened a dresser drawer last week and I saw for the very first time in decades a Valentine to me from my dad, DESPITE the many times I had opened that drawer in recent years and had never seen it. It reads on the front, "A Valentine Just for You" and inside he signed it, "Dad. I love you! X " ("X" being a kiss). That's all the proof I needed, but their favorite charity is a well-known children's research hospital. I had planned on making a Christmas donation in honor of and in memory of Mom and Dad, when I heard my dad tell me last week to double it. I told him, "I'm not working right now, Dad; I can't." Again, I heard him tell me, "Double it." My parents were firm believers in "When you give, you get." 3 days ago I phoned to make the dollar donation Dad told me to make, and I told the lady of my experience with my dad. She said, "That was DEFINITELY your dad talking to you. One of our benefactors just stepped up last week and said that between then and Christmas he'd match every donation dollar for dollar, so your donation just DOUBLED what we actually got. Thank you, thank your dad for us, and Merry Christmas."
The very next day after my looking for a job for a very, very, VERY long time, I received notice that I got one! 1 day after making the donation. "When you give, you get." "You're right, Dad. You were ALWAYS right. Thank you. Merry Christmas, Dad."
J, I am so touched and blessed by your story about your parents and how your donation was doubled and then you got a job. This is such a profound and beautiful way that our deceased loved ones work with us and it shows how truly connected in spirit we are.
I had a friend her name was Toni we were the best of friends. Well Toni died late saturday night early sunday morning 13 years ago she died at home unexpectedly and no one found her until monday. But that monday morning I called her and of course she didnt answer she had passed but I didnt know until monday evening that she had passed. I had called her to tell her hey Toni answer your phone our song is on and I want you to listen to it with me. The song that was our song was called Lifes A Dance. Well that monday evening I got a phone call another friend had called to tell me that Toni had died. I was shocked. Well about a week later I was awoken one night Toni was standing by my bed and let me tell you she was absolutely beautiful. Toni had an aura around her that was so beautiful. Toni in life wore glasses The Toni standing by my bed didnt wear glasses anymore. She told me that she wanted to let me know that she was ok and that she was going to be my grandaughters guardian angel. Toni came to me twice after that but everytime I hear our song Lifes A Dance I know its her
OH, wow! I just wrote an article about how deceased loved ones can become our guardians or spirit guides. See http://ezinearticles.com/?Can-My-Deceased-Loved-One-Become-My-Spirit-Guide?&id=8209676
Hello thank you for replying. It is January the 14th now. Lots of thinks have happened with my grandma's spirit here. But getting less frequent and less powerful. I have had a spiritual visit from my grandfather too many years ago. It was beautiful. And also feel that this is the best gift a could have received from my grandmother. This visit was on a different level, something I have not experienced and was afraid of the unknown. But to say the least i'm starting to miss my grandma already as I know this is coming to an end. I keep getting February the 1st 2014. I know all the reasons why she wanted to stay before moving on. To protect and comfort me for so many reasons. We connected spiritual. My question is can these visits happen with other family members that are manipulative and I do not connect with spiritualy ocean they pass? So far I have had 2 long visits my grandma and my grandpa which loved me very much and I spiritualy connected with.
I'm writing this to Anonymous from January 14, 2014 but also to anyone who might be helped by it.
It is quite normal for a loved one's visits to become less frequent and less powerful as time passes. While I know you miss your grandma, be assured that this is actually a good sign that her soul is adapting to the higher realms and her astral body is being absorbed into the light. This doesn't mean that she won't be able to visit you. Her visits may be less noticeable because her vibration will be higher than what humans typically sense during our hurried days. If you take time to reach the stillness of your own heart, you will raise your vibration and be more likely to sense her presence. You may be able to call her in and share a sweet exchange of loving energy. During these meditation moments, you may also be able to connect with other family members who are of a high vibration. a
Those who are manipulative have a denser astral body and you will likely be able to feel them more easily. They are closer to the vibration of the earth plane and its chaos. You can tell them to "take a hike" any time they bother you. Your personal energy field and private home space is yours to control. You do not have to be bothered by these spirits.
Hi...i lost my bf recently on 20th jan 2014...he was 23 yr old...and d reason of dead is blood pressure low...just in 30min thos happnd....i can smell his fragrant...but i dont feel its true....im lost..and have no intention of living..and i really want to know how to die and go to him..im lost :(
I recently lost my father approximately 7 weeks ago. I'm desperate to hear from him, needing to know that he's ok. He was my biggest fan, we were very close. Any suggestions on how I should go about reconnecting with him? I miss him dearly.
It is understandable that you would want to connect with your loved one to know that he or she is doing well. Each soul has a path to follow after leaving the body. Some go directly to the light and are never heard from again or not for a long while. Others hang around a few days or weeks and then move on. Connecting with a deceased loved one through a seance and asking them to manifest creates a very strong "pull" that can interrupt the progress of a soul in the afterlife. It is best to simply invite the soul to visit with you if/when they can and then wait patiently without demanding. We are all connected in spirit, which means you can sit in meditation with your guides and talk to the loved one as if he or she is in the room with you. If your loved one cannot come or respond at that time, you can trust that the message will reach them. Think of it as emailing or texting them.
I am twenty nine and my mum committed suicide 1/8/2014 then 2 weeks later I was just about to fall asleep when I felt a hand softly touching my face I then lightly took hold of the wrist and started to slowly open my lids, as my vision became visible I could see my mum lying next to me and she was smiling and the more I opened my eye lids to see her fully she just slowly faded away and moving backward into a darkness still smiling and called out her and I said "please don't go mum please don't go" but for reason I let go of her wrist and she's was gone. For the next five minutes i cryed my eyes out telling her thankyou.
My dog passed away several days ago. Every time I walk into the bathroom I feel his presence. I walk to his grave everyday and talk to him. He was my baby and I heard a beautiful, loving voice tell me my dog was with him in heaven, and that the voice loves me and I should not hurt myself as nothing is to big for him to handle. It also said this when my friend died a month before. A few days ago I saw what I thought to be something run across the house and I had a dream about petting my dog and when I woke up I felt a nudge on my leg. I also think I heard his footsteps yesterday. I'm just glad he's okay and one day I'll see him again.
I had a nephew to get killed in a car wreck in 2006. his spirit stayed in his home until his wife left and left her children with their grandmother. we were told he spirit was protecting his children and after the grandmother had the children the spirit went away so the wife told. the mother came back 5 years later and the court gave them back to her. so has been gone two years she is now back and the grandmother has the children most of the time. the person that is living in the home told us tonight that there are strange things happen. he says zackery spirit is in his house. there have been foot prints in his kitchen. he has left his arm print on the wall. the man
s wife went in the boys bed room and she could not get the door to open. he says he force the door open and their came a peace In the room. the man says her sees a shadow form. what could this mean.
Anonymous, it seems like your nephew has not crossed over into the light. This is common for people who meet with a sudden or catastrophic death. Like your nephew, these souls feel the need to complete any unfinished business such as protecting those who are left behind.
3 months after my dad passed on, I was fishing at one of our best spots. I looked at the river bank an saw my dad walking along looking at ground and at the water. I felt a warm feeling come over me. He was full body and looked like he was happy. I turned my boat an headed to the bank, when I got there he was gone. But I got to see him one more time. I am proud of that. I love him very very much- And he loved me to. This I know for a fact.
Our Brother passed away just over a year ago of Cancer..our Family spent the last 6 weeks with him in pallative care and his passing bought us all even closer than we'd ever been..he joined our Sister whom passed 2 years nearly to the same day..his passing wasn't peaceful in the last hrs of his life, he just didn't want to go, trying so hard and asking us to take him out of his bed..I still carnt get those images out of my head..why?? Fast forward a year on, myself and two other Siblings have always been awaken between the hrs of 3 - 4am. .yes sometimes it drives us crazy but are kind of getting use to it now..does this have any meaning? Also my Sister had a very frightful dream the other nite where he was standing at the end of her bed dressed in black..she woke up screaming get off my bed and gasping for breath..I consoled her saying that maybe because you suffer from sleep apnea he awoke you as your breathing had stopped for that little bit too long or was he just visiting for other reasons?
Our psyche is filled with unresolved traumas, which can include watching a loved one die. These images get stuck on loop until we are willing to sit with them and allow them to unwind. This means feeling the emotions and letting them move on through. one of the best books on coming to acceptance with what happens to us is Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. Highly recommended reading for anyone with PTSD or other symptoms associated with painful life experiences.
My mom passed away 1-1/2 years ago. She had been in the hospital for 3 months, and she was not communicative for the last month or so. We had to make a hard decision regarding life support. Two days after Mom passed, she came to me in a dream saying "Thank you. I love you." I hoped so much it was her. I told my sister this, and she informed me she had nearly the same dream at the same time of the morning as I had. We just know it really was Mom. I'd love her to be around more, but to have that comfort after she passed was a blessing.
Thank you for sharing with us, Kimi. What a blessing to have your mom visit you to let you know she is fine. And, to have your sister confirm it. Who could ever doubt such a loving experience? :)
Hi.
I lost my dad in Sept 2014. We didn't always see eye to eye, but he was my dad... he gave me a TV for my sons room before he passed and every now and again it will just come on if left on standby... is this my dad visiting us? His he stuck in limbo. It really bothers me, I need to know he is at peace now... is the TV coming on a sign he is OK or has he not found his way... the thought of him not being at peace really does get to me...
Today I was working on my laptop getting a little frustrated with the thing not working..and suddenly I saw a vision of a girl I only knew through online social media community we were both a part of. I'm sure she knew of me as well. I recognize those blue eyes anywhere and I sensed her trying to make light of the situation with my computer. So I thought wow she died a while ago I wonder if there are any blogs etc. So I google searched her name and found some information about her death and noticed it was 2 days ago, 6 years later. I was overcome w emotion and tears. Maybe partly due to she died in a motorcycle accident, I myself ride dirt bikes and had a close-call crash once. It just hit home and I was surprised about the date. I have been playing with more meditation and binaural beats recently, could this be an experience of my psychic awareness opening? I have a lot of work to do on my chakras so I wasn't sure. I felt the need to contact her loved ones to tell them but no way I would I'm not experience with this. I ended up just posting a very nice quote she left us on her Facebook before she passed
I appreciate your honesty on this thank you.

I lost my partner in life in November of 2014. He was at his office and had called me to say he wouldn't be home until later that he had someone coming by to work on his truck. He told me how tired he was and that he just wanted to come home. Around ten I was going to bed and shut off the TV and it kept turning back on. Three times this happened. The next morning when he wasn't home I went to his office and found him. He was gone. The most painful time in my life! Since his passing I have had a few dreams. Nothing major just little glimpses of him. Last night I was crying as I sometimes do at night and his face appeared over me for a brief few.seconds. Almost in my mind's eye if you will. He didn't say anything. Just appeared looking so handsome. I like to think it was him letting me know he is here with me. I don't know.
So sorry for your loss, Renie. The soul is eternal and multi-dimensional. Your beloved is able to visit you and let you know he is doing well.
My sister passed just over 3 years ago. We were deeply close. Not twins but like twins -loved each other so much. When she was terminally ill, I didn't know how I would live without her but didn't let her know that, and just thought only of her well being, keeping love and cheerful as much as I could.
Then a month or so after she died she started coming to see me, and there was so much love and peace, like it was still her character but really REALLY elevated somehow. It was beautiful and wonderful, I knew she's okay. She came to see me often. Every few days. I felt her love surround me. But sometimes a touch of something like sadness.
Usually this sad thing would happen just before she didn't visit for two or three weeks. Then when she returned she was completely happy again.
Anyway this went on for three years, but just lately she has been so distant. It's like I can't even reach her with my love, like she's gone somehow. This really hurts. I know she is okay but it makes me sad. I dread her leaving orever and disappearing. I told her once when she was with me and asked me why I was sad -that I was scared of losing her. She said we would never lose each other.
It feels like a steel wall between us though right now.
After a period of resting from her Earth life, perhaps your sister may have had a mission to accomplish in her new situation in the afterlife.
Yes, thank you Yvonne. You are probably right. Stangely, I have sensed my dear sister's company a couple of times the last few days since I wrote that. A bit distant and I could not 'hear' any words each time, but with such affection, and bringing me a sense that everything was very well.
It seems that she meant what she said before. We will never lose each other. We are the deepest soul friends.
I can't see or really know what she is doing, and feel at a loss. But I suppose that's natural. Lots of us don't really know what goes on in the spirit world, but one day we will find out.
Maybe our loved ones sense our thoughts and try to reassure us. But I am grateful she's well and okay, and wouldn't want to put emotional pressure on her. I give her my blessing.
I believe they do sense our thoughts and know that we are sending them love.
My mother dies from liver cancer on august 8 2015, i was really close to my mother she was my world. Around a month later iaround 2:30 am i was laying on my bed on my side, i felt a wind type air hit my back enter me and all of sudden my shoulders got tighten like if someone hugged me from behind. I hear someone whisper in my ear but i didn't comprehend what she told me but i felt at peace. I stood up and i felt her leave my body that my kidney area got warm. Took seconds to be back to normal. Never felt that before.
My grandmother moved through me like that when she passed. It was the most delightful feeling ever! I wrote about it and you can read the post here: http://deathdyingafterlife.blogspot.com/2015/09/pulling-away-from-someone-who-is-dying.html
My Mom Passed Away 10/20/13..I had a dream about her last night..Not sure what it means..she held a egg next to my stomach and she said "Garden of Eden" Then I said is it a girl(BTW I'm Not Pregnant}..she just kept saying Garden of Eden..Then she asked me to watch over My big sister Until Michael {not sure if she meant the angel} can..She said she loved me..and also said a verse On Peter I don't remember the Verse..She said something about dead flowers on the grave.Wish I knew what it all Meant.

My dear mom passed away on Aug. 29 2015. She was in hospital for no major ailment except swelling on her body with inability to stand which was diagnosed as being due to electrolyte and hormonal imbalance. She was due to be discharged by the middle of August. But suddenly she developed many complications and passed away within 15 days of her probable discharge date. Although I have seen her a few times in my dreams afterwards, my mind is not at rest and I wish there was some way to know whether her time had come or we could have saved her. I keep wondering why she does not say anything whenever I see her. Can someone help? I am stressed.
Tricia, my grandmother knew she was dying before she passed on Tuesday, 9-15-15. The Sunday before, she told my cousin that she was going to have a boy. Nanny did not know Vanessa was pregnant. In fact, Nanny didn't know much of anything due to dementia, but when Vanessa told her she was going to have a baby, Nanny said, "It's a boy." The dying seem to have vivid dreams, visions, visitations and certain "knowings" as they prepare for transition.
As for the Garden of Eden, I think this may suggest that your mom is in a place of peace and paradise.
Nita, what are your dreams of your mother about? Perhaps that would give you a clue to the meaning. No soul passes before it is ready--even if it is a sudden or unexpected departure. The soul is guided by the higher self and divine guidance. There are no mistakes.
Thank you Yvonne.
Since my mom was unable to stand or walk just before she was hospitalized, it was pleasant to see her trying to walk in the first couple of dreams. In the third I saw her walking about the house while the whole family had gathered for her funeral. In the fourth, i saw her face the way it was handed over to us from the hospital. Two days back I saw her sitting in a huge church in the first pew while I am trying to read from II Cor 12:4-5, but can not find it in my Bible. I try to take the Pastor's Bible but its language is beyond my comprehension.
I also wish to mention here that my mom was hospitalized twice since July and both times immediately after her admission, I saw my dear father who had passed away almost 18 years ago. The second time around he was sitting in his formal clothes and waiting to go out. My mom also used to say that she is not going to recover even though she had no major illness except the complications that arose in the hospital.
Nita, I looked up the verse you mentioned: 2 Corinthians 12:4-5 ". . . was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell. I will boast about a man like that, but I will not boast about myself, except about my weaknesses." Seems to say that your mom knew she was passing and that she was going to paradise--the Garden of Eden, which Tricia mentioned in a comment right above yours.
Thank you for your blog. I have had such vivid dreams of my ex-husband that I did a Google search to see if this was common. We were divorced when he passed away suddenly from a heart attack at 54 (ten years ago), but we had always remained good friends and co-parents of our children after the divorce and up to his death. I don't know whether it's a trick of my brain or something else, but I have had dreams of a whole different quality when it seems like he is visiting me because they are so vivid and real. We will even be talking in bed and it seems completely natural and reassuring even when I recently told him about a guy I have been dating. When I wake up, I don't feel the least bit disoriented like I do with other dreams that seem "real", just calm and feeling like a real visit has just ended. I think if he came to me any other way, as some folks describe in their comments, I would freak out, but this way is really great, though I don't know quite what to make of it.
Thank you Yvonne. That brings some element of peace. God bless you for your words.
You are welcome, Nita. Feel free to visit or contact me on my website: http://www.weare1inspirit.com/contact
You sound like me in regards to your ex. We have also remained good friends and co-parents of our children after the divorce. We still have lunch together and text often.
I believe the spirits of our loved ones do actually visit us in our dreams. This manner is the least upsetting way for us to entertain them because when asleep, we are in a neutral or receiving mode that does not filter the way our waking brain does.
There is no "marriage" or "divorce" or earth-like relationships in the afterlife. There is only love and acceptance between souls who are a vibrational match for one another.
Yvonne,
I have always felt a strong connection to the spirit world. My experiences have always been comforting. My mother passed away when I was 18 (I am almost 40 now). She visits me in dreams that are not quite dreams. We meet in my childhood home, her favorite place, I am always very aware of what is going on and very in control of my words and actions during these visits. These experiences, dreams or whatever you call them leave very vivid memories that do not fade like dreams. I cherish these moments like no other.
I had a completely different experience last night/early this morning. A little before 5 am I was woken up by a voice saying "Mama". It sounded just like my 12 year old. Without opening my eyes I instinctively said "What". My voice woke my partner up and she said "What" to me. I opened my eyes and we were the only two in our room. I told her I must have been dreaming and tried to go back to sleep. This morning while getting ready she asked me why I had said that. I told he what had happened and what I had heard. She said she heard the exact same thing too but didn't want to scare me.
We had a still birth at 22 weeks about a year before we had my 12 year old. We named our sleeping angel Alyssa. Right after we lost her we were woken up one night by the light in our room suddenly being turned on with no explanation. We attributed that to her, but nothing ever since then. I'm not sure who said "Mama" last night. But I sure would like to know.
Regina, If it sounded like your 12 year old, I think that's a good indication that it was her. I have known children to do astral travel and visit parents during the night. I wrote about it on this post:
http://deathdyingafterlife.blogspot.com/2011/04/is-sleep-walking-related-to-astral.html
Please hope someone can help with this, my mum who passed away a year an a half ago from cancer!! Lately I'm getting strong aftershave smell in my kitchen so happens it's my dad's usual aftershave, what is this all about my dad who is still alive!! An is seldom in my kitchen!!
Smells can be energy trails that your spirit/intuition follows to connect to a person or event. We know that smells can trigger memories. It seems to me that memories can trigger smells as well. When I burn incense in my home during a ceremony, I can smell it for up to 48 hours later. If I just burn it for the good smell without a ritual, I don't smell it later.
My mom passed away 2 months ago...it was difficult but I,was sure I would be able to feel her presence as I did with others whom passed but NOTHING.....this makes me anxious and sad...does she not feel the need I have for her now
Elsa, it is actually a good thing. It means that the soul resolved its business before passing and that it crossed completely over. My grandmother did this. She came to me the night before she died and we have not heard from her since the week after her funeral. When I walked into her room where her body was lying while waiting for the undertaker, I could not feel any astral presence--only a peaceful flood of calm relief. I knew that the work she and I had done to help her prepare for her crossing was effective.
It is not the departed soul's responsibility to comfort us or help us get through our loss--although some souls do. This can actually keep a soul earthbound. I encourage you to find support groups, other people, counselors, etc. to help you get through your grief. If you would like to chat, contact me on my website: http://weare1inspirit.com/contact
I am experiencing the same feelings about my loved one that passed away in 2014.
My husband died suddenly (heart attack) over a year ago. Our son 's birthday was the same week. I dreamt my husband was lying beside me, very pale body, like a corpse but talking. I asked him if he was meant to be here and I think he said I don't know. He gave me a hug that was just the very special way he used to do. While his body appearance was unnerving the experience was comforting. My friend dreamt that he told her that he is happy where he is. My cousin dreamt he was chatting to her as he would have done, she was unnerved by that. Recently I was sleeping alone in my house, my son was unusually not there. I switched off all the hall lights. A few minutes later I went back to the hall and the light was on. I was surprised but doubted myself so switched it off again. Some hours later it was back on. At first I thought I was being burgled and then I felt it was my husband. But it spooked me completely. I could not find peace all week, I felt totally disturbed at a deep level. I was worried that he wasn't at peace. I spoke to a couple of people and they thought that he was just protecting me. Also, that using light to show that was significant. Since Christmas I have been profoundly upset for what my young son has lost, all the Daddy energy and fun. He had said he wished his Dad could collect him from school. Just now my son and I are in bed with respiratory infections. He has just told me as I write this that he dreamt of his Dad. He was collecting him from school!! I felt a huge peace and spoke to my son about Dad visiting him in his dream. I still am wondering if my husband is at peace, I want to know he is, but how?
Dreams of a loved one are many times actual visitations.
Sometimes an astral imprint or soul fragment is left behind when a body dies. While your husband is likely crossed over and at peace, this "debris" has enough energy to create a form and affect 3-D objects like lights or radios, etc.
It would be great to gather up this energy, clear it of karmic imprints, and help it raise in frequency to join the multidimensional soul in a higher realm. See http://www.weare1inspirit.com/light-language-activation-sessions#retrieval for more information about this.
My ex-boyfriend (whom I lived with and helped raise his children for 8 years) recently passed away from a sudden heart attack. I have lived on the other side of the world for the past 6 years. We kept in contact through messaging until a couple of months ago when I began thinking it was time for me to take the space that I needed to move on. I had no idea though that he would pass away. Either the night of his death or the preceding hours before (due to the time change and not having the exact time of his passing, I can't be sure if I dreamt this before or after his actual passing; at any rate, I had the dream definitely before I knew he had died suddenly), I had a vivid dream that woke me up out of my sleep in a shocked and nightmare-ish way. In the dream, he told me I needed to go with him and urgently. I told him that I couldn't just go with him. (To where? I'm not sure). I then looked away in the distance and saw his son who had passed away tragically about 7 years before. His son was standing waiting for him in a doorway. I said, "There's your son. Go with him." I then woke up, and I did not think of it at the time as a death visitation dream as to me my ex was still alive and well on the other side of the world. I was scared though and I couldn't understand why him asking me to go with him (for years after we broke up, that's all I longed to hear from him) would scare me so. Then, a day or so later, I received word that he had passed away suddenly from a heart attack. I am saddened by the loss and on a personal, perhaps selfish level, I am deeply afflicted by guilt over the series of messages from him that I left unreturned in the past few months. And while I know he knows how deeply I loved him, I can't help but feel like a bad friend who left things on a bad note. And I'm hoping this dream means that he was on his way to a better place with his son and that he did want to forwarn me that he was leaving this earth. Not being familiar with this, I've floundered within a state of sadness and guilt.
AimeeR, this feels like an actual visitation. The fact that he wanted you to go with him is an indication that he holds no ill-will toward you for anything you did or did not do. So, the only thing you need to do at this point is to forgive yourself and bask in the love that you shared with him.
Yvonne, my husband and I were married for 10.5 years after our unlucky previous marriages. I am sure our marriage was made up in the sky by the way we met and were happy like in Heaven on Earth all these years. He had a heart attack just before I came home from work. Today is two months after that day. He had a smile on his face when I said last goodbye to him. Still I need some sign that he is Ok. Is there any way to feel that he is Ok?!
My condolences on your loss. The smile he had on his face when he passed is an indication that he had an easy time leaving the body and crossing over.
Our loved ones who have crossed over communicate with us in a variety of ways. They may bring a familiar smell, or leave coins, feathers, or other objects in our path. They may appear in bird, animal, or human form. They may come to us in our dreams, or may be the voice we hear in our head. You may hear a song that brings a rush of energy. You may feel warmth or a breeze around you when they are around. He may be gone from the body, but he is part of you and will always be with you because there is no separation in spirit.
My son past away 6/18/2011 less than month after I got married I still miss him today I use to see him the last time I saw him he was walking down the side walk while I was on break at work I yelled his name and he smiled from ear to ear looked at the ground and walked faster never saying a word I have not seen him since
Once a loved one knows you are okay, they may not visit as much. This is usually a sign that they have crossed over and their astral body has cleared. This is a good thing for them even though those on this side miss them very much.
My dad died on Valentines Day 2016. He suffered at home here he got treatment through hospice. I miss him so much, but I have a sister who is going through a difficult grieving. How can I help her with this? Even for me, it has been odd walking into the house that he loved and not seeing him there sitting in his favorite chair or hearing his vouce when I call mom.
Every person grieves in their own way. It has been such a short time since your father passed, I would not be too concerned with how your sister is managing her pain. Try to be understanding and let her have her experience. Let her cry when she needs to.
It is a reminder of our personal loss whenever we see something that reminds us of the one who is no longer present in body. When my grandmother died, it brought up grief of other people I had lost. It triggered former memories and pain.
My husband passed away 20 yrs ago but I believe today he came to visit.. My ex daughter in law has been creating hell for me and my son as well as for their 11 yr old son. I am somewhat afraid of her so I keep my doors locked. This morning I was working in my kitchen and my family room sliding door came open..6 inchs or so...When my doors open (when not locked) they talk (part of my alarm system) "your slider is open" so I jumped around the corner to look and then ran around my home to check on my safety. No one was in my house, but my son must have left the door unlocked when he came in from the back yard... Needless to say, I shut and locked that door immediately. This happened last week also but this week it really shook me after what I have been thru with my grandsons mother. My sister said my husband was telling me, "this door is not locked for your safety so get it locked now" I'm not afraid when my son is here because she would do nothing to me. Bi polar people can be very mean when they want to and she has to be bi polar. We are going thru a lot right now with child protective services which has only made her more angry. Yes, I believe my husband came to protect me and remind me, "keep the doors locked when your alone, protect yourself from that crazy woman" I'm not afraid of spirits for I know he loved me more than life its self.. :)
I know this article is quite old, however, I've seen some current posts and responses, so, thought I'd give it a try. My mom passed away a few weeks ago. Although she was in the hospital, it was unexpected. I was there with her when she passed. A few days after her service, I was sleeping in her room, on her bed (I live quite a distance from my parents, so, I was staying with them.), and I had what I believed to be a dream of her standing at the foot of the bed, touching my foot. I opened my eyes, and she was there. It didn't scare me, and I closed my eyes. I then opened them again to see if she was still there, and She was then right next to me, reaching out to touch my face, which appeared to be in a loving manner, as if she was trying to comfort me (I'm not taking her passing very well). However, that scared me, and I seemed to have immediately woken up to my partner shaking me to wake me from what she thought was a nightmare. I have a few family members who believe it was actually her, as it was so vivid. How would I know if it was actually her and not just a dream? I have been asking her for a sign that it was her, however, asked her not to that again, as I know I would get scared again, I have not seen any sign though. At least not that I have noticed. I am back home now though.
My best friend pass away 7 months ago of a sudden heart attack. I was at her side when she passed away at her place of work. As I was cleaning up her office I sat down outside of her office talking to a coworker. The area was dark with just the security lights on. As I was talking to the coworker I looked at my friends office which has a window and on the other side of the window has a chair. While me and the co worker were talking I looked at the window and I saw a reflection of my deceased friends head it was the back of her head.There was no light around her it looked like a shadow outline. It spooked me and I look out the corner of my eye to see if its the co workers reflection and it wasnt. So could my friend be sitting in her office listening to us?
I lost my husband a month ago. Not sure cause of death yet. I'm lost and wished he would visit me. Let me know he's still here. Why do some people get that and others don't.? I'm just so lost and alone. Wish I had the comfort of knowing he's with me somewhere.
My husband passed away Unexpectantly a month ago and yet I have not felt his presents and I wish I could. To know he's OK. Every day I wonder how I'm going to make it to the next without him. I just don't understand why some people have that connection with the spirit world and some don't. I would love nothing more or than to hear him or feel him to know he's with me and he's ok.
Hi Sandra, i was just browsing and came across your message. Im sorry for your loss.
I lost my father suddenly to Stomach Cancer in August 13 2013 only 7 weeks after diagnosis.
3 nights after my fathers passing he visited me during the night by sittining on the end of my bed but i was scared and hid under my covers. When i fell asleep i must've slippep back out from my cover and was woken by a massive blow up my neck neck onto my face. My cat was starring towards me, i know she could see him and I acknowleged my dad by saying Hi and Thank you.
From the moment of his death though all of our electronic eqipnent, TV and lights etc eould flicker really fast. We would be talking, mum would not put the TV ON, we said to mum once to turn the TV ON abd that dad would want her to continue to live her life, the lights would flicker as though dad was agreeing.
DAD had always believed in the afterlife and told us he would come bavk to show us he is still around, and he has.
Did your husband believe in the after life? I cant answer why he hasn't visited you like dad has us but i do believe that a lot is to do with believing.
I hope you hear from him soon. Maybe its just too soon for him and he needs to build his strength to visit, something to do wit plains.
I had a visit from what I believe to be a spirit known as the "Hat Man". I was sound asleep when at 3:00 am, my eyes opened, my body froze and the only thing I could move were my eyes.
He came from behind my bedroom door and very slowly went around the foot of my bed. He then put one arm on either side of me and bent over to the point where he was about 2 or three inches from my face as if he was studying me. I could actually feel his breath. He then stood up and went slowly around the foot of my bed and disappeared behind the bedroom door.
He was tall with a black suit and black hat. I could not see his eyes. It was like a very clear shadow figure. I was so scared that I slept in the living room for two weeks. I was afraid to sleep in my bedroom.
I saw this figure on more time. I came home at night and left my car running so I could get out and open the garage door. Before I could get out of my car this same "hat man" ran across in front of my headlight and disappeared around the front of the house.
RE: the Hat Man. This is likely an earthbound spirit that was attached to the property or a piece of furniture. You can call on Archangels Michael and Chamuel to help this soul cross over.
My husband for almost 23 years passed away last June 20. His passing is fast, one week of hospitalization due to stroke, meningioma and edema. He visited most of our family, our children except for me. Up to now I cannot feel he's gone, for me it seems like he's only at work but this time no communication. I miss him so much.
Dear Unknown,
I truly believe in the afterlife. I talk about it often especially after a loved one has passed. Do you believe in the afterlife? Do you pray? I even need to work on the second one. Talk to God. He DOES listen. Don't only pray when you want something and when you just let your feeling known tell him how much you have missed him. Ask God to send the message to your husband and see what happens. Just know that those we love who are gone are always with us. Best of luck and love to you.
God Bless you

Yvonne perry. My dad passed away last week. We were very happy before. But he suffered alot during the last few 3 months of his life. I'm fifteen and we are Christians. One day when mum left to church about at 5 am. I couldn't tell if it was a dream or a vission I saw dad staring down at me at the side of the bed. Looking very sad (I'm the only child) I want to know of he is in a better place. I miss alot. He was a really good person.
My Dad passed away suddenly in December of 2014. He was found by his home health care nurse, and had been gone for a day or so. I was supposed to be allowed to hold his hand and speak to him for the last time at the funeral home. When I arrived, I was met with constant no's...I was never allowed to see him..I was and still am completely overwhelmed with grief..I had a strange feeling at the funeral home that my Dad was not there. The funeral home had cremated my Dad before I signed paperwork to have him cremated..I have found out some horrible things that the funeral home had done to him while he was in their care..I feel like every day is a struggle..I miss him so much that I just don't believe he is gone....I feel lost...there is no closure..only nightmares...of my Dad screaming in the furnace telling me no....then I had a dream that he was laying on his couch, much younger, I had this overwhelming sense of that my Dad being gone was all a dream..that he was here and I was losing my mind. I ran up to hug him...I was crying hysterically...and then I woke up and had this sinking, awful heartbreaking feeling...the grief came flooding back all over again.I tried to call his old phone number and it said party is unreachable. I just have this heaviness on my heart..an ache for him to talk to me...I have never heard his voice..only the one dream..for a quick second...I don't know if I just imagined it because I am so overwhelmed with grief..I don't know how to move on..the funeral home took my chance to say goodbye away..leaving a hole..looking for closure..I just don't have it..I feel like every day is the same day I got the call...every single day...how can I move on with all the circumstances surrounding his death? There was an injustice done to my Dad...and I want him to tell me that I'm doing the right thing..that he did love me and is proud of me..and that I took care of him the best I could...and that he's looking over me..protecting me and my family...
Dear Unknown whose dad passed last week:
If deceased loved ones seem sad when they visit us, it's probably because we are projecting our grief onto them. Your dad is mirroring your sadness. The more you focus on his happiness, the more you will see that reflected in his visits.
Our grief can cause a loved one to stick around (they try to help us move past our grief and they want to know we are ok). We don't want them to miss their chance to cross into the light and to a better place. Let your dad know you are going to be okay and that it is fine for him to go into the light. He can still come back for visits, but he needs to cross over as soon as possible.
My young son in law, (19 years old) just very recently passed away suddenly in a car accident and left my daughter pregnant and they also have a 3 year old son. My daughter and all the family was completely devastated. My daughter had a dream a couple nights after the accident, of him telling her he wants to come home. I need to know if he crossed over. Also, 2 nights after her dream, my other daughters fiance,had a dream that him, my youngest son, and late son in law were in the back bedroom, and my son in law was standing up, leaning over the chair, talking to my youngest son, but he couldn't hear what he was saying to my youngest son.like the conversation was "mute". The exact same night my daughter dreamt him wanting to come home, his little sister had the same dream, that he wanted to come home...Is our late loved one ok? Can someone shed some light on this at all?
Melisa, I don't sense that this man has crossed over into the light. He is in the "between" zone.
My husband passed unexpectedly almost 5 months ago. He was only 44. We were supposed to go out with our friends that weekend. Then in 10 days it was our anniversary and then my birthday and lastly we were getting ready to go in our yearly family trip to Canada. I still do not have cause of death, peace of mind or comfort. I've had no time to grieve and I just keep waiting to wake up from a bad dream. I don't dream of him and he never has visited me. I just wish I knew if he was ok. Why he had to leave. Anything. I keep playing the "Im doing ok" card. I'm soooo not ok. I don't know how to get through this. Please anyone tell me how I'm suppose to deal with this.
Dear Sandra. What a tragedy and loss you have experienced with the sudden death of your beloved husband. I wish it were just a dream you could awake from. It's totally normal to NOT be OK right now. I pray for you and for your husband to reconnect and for him to let you know he is ok. Sudden deaths can be confusing for both the living and the "deceased."
My name is Vanessa. My mom passed away of breast cancer last year. I loved my mom so much. Within the first month following her death, she visited me in a dream. She was not sick, she had a white gown on and we were in a room with moonlight shining down. It felt real. I was laying in the bed with her and she was hugging me. I could actually feel her warm touch and her hug. She was talking to me - but I could not hear her. She looked like she looked when she was in her 20's. It was so comforting. I did not want to leave.
A week or so later after I had the dream. I was laying in bed and was about to go to sleep. I put the covers over my head and laid there for a while praying to God. I finished praying and I could smell the odor of a cake baking - my mom was a cook and she cooked from scratch. It was early morning and no one was cooking anything. I laid there for a few seconds just smelling the sweet smell of a cake baking in the oven under my covers. It smelled so real, until I pulled the covers from over my head to see whether the smell was coming from out of the house, but it was not..It was coming from under my blanket. This smell happened to me twice. When it happened the second time, I told my mom - please be at peace - I am okay...Of course I was not...
So after that maybe a week or more later and I was on the computer late at night and I was startled when three books fell on the bookcase behind me. There was no way that these books could fall on their own...
I have moved to another state since my mom passed. I of course still miss her. Approximately four months ago, I was laying in bed watching TV and I felt a presence in the room and someone came and sat next to me in my bed. I could feel them actually sitting there. The presence sat where it could actually see my face....
I have three siblings, but none of them have had these experiences and my brother took it really hard after my mom passed, but none of them have had similar experiences. Guess I was wondering why the dead visit some of us, but not all...

Hearing from a deceased loved one is a two-way street. First of all, the deceased soul has to be able to find the pathway to the person they are trying to reach. Secondly, the person who wants to hear from them has to be open to the frequency that the deceased is transmitting from. So, even if a soul is trying to reach a certain person, they may not get through to them.
Some people remember their dreams every night. Others rarely remember their dreams. If a person is visited by the deceased in their dream time, it is possible that they did not remember in conscious state that their beloved came to them.
In 2003 I was laying awake in my bedroom and I was crying over a very stressful situation I was experience that wasn't resolving itself. I heard my Grandmother's voice say my name. She passed away in 1977. I remember relaxing feeling very safe and loved and I went to sleep. When I awoke the next morning I felt her essence all through my home. It was the most beautiful experience. I do not have any apprehension of death. I know my family will be there to greet me when I travel to them.
My father died August 20, 2016 and my mother passed August 30, 2016. I have been in a confused state of not understanding why I have not heard from them. Both were unexpected deaths and each day that passes makes it harder to accept that they are both gone. I need to hear from them as I am left alone as I was when they passed so no one understands the state that I am in.
Hello! I have been getting touched a lot lately and want to find out who is trying to say or what they want to communicate. I was sitting at my computer and felt someone had poked me in my back and I turned around , no one was there. Then laying in bed I felt a spirit touch my foot and last this week laying in bed the spirit made a squiggly S sign by my spine. I am glad to find your page and read more on what I need to know and how to communicate more without being scared.
Hi, I was meditating when I felt that I left my body trough a tunnel at a very high speed and then I found myself at what seemed my former grandmother's house, the place where my mother grew up, it was very dark so I asked for more light when out of the shadows appeared my deceased mother, she let me know she was not supposed to be there but did not know how to get out of there and looked sad. There were more people there that I didn't know, even a couple of young parents with two daughters, seemed like the couple knew they were dead but didn't want to transcend out of fear of separating from their children, who didn't know were dead. I felt like I had to help my mother but suddenly felt like I had to get back to my body and shook my head to do it. It did not feel like a dream. Does it make any sense to you? Please tell me if you think it was just a dream or I do need to help my mom.
If a loved one comes to you asking for help, you can cross them over. If you need help with this, please contact me on my website. http://www.weare1inspirit.com/contact
Can a spirit hang around for years after their death, actually live with you? My mom visited me after her death and said she does not want to go to heaven and I think she has taken up residence in my home and travels with us everywhere we go for 11 yrs now. Is this possible?
Hi Yvonne, I have dresser that was my late husbands who died in 2007, around 2009 it started making weird noises, expanding, creaking, no matter where I move it, it continues to sound off anytime of day and I have moved homes 3 times and it still sounds off, could my husband soul be trapped in his dresser? It is so bizarre and when I am late getting up for work it will really make loud noises creaking and knocking waking me up. I have tried communicating with it but it does not respond, it only goes of randomly.
Wow! That's amazing. I don't think your husband's spirit is trapped in the dresser, but he may be using it as a way to get your attention. Obviously, he does not want you to be late for work. :-)
Can a spirit hang around for years after their death, actually live with you? I think it is possible? A soul has free will even in the afterlife.
My beloved Father passed away at home aged 89 years on 14th February 2017, precisely the same day and month (14th February)that my beloved Mother did 27 years ago. My question is did my Mother call him to be with her. Same day and same month - only 27 years apart. We were quite young daughters when my Mother died, I often wonder if that is the reason Dad stayed with us, he was always protective of his girls'.
That's pretty amazing about your parents passing on the same day (Feb 14) many years apart. I'd say it's more than coincidence, but rather divinely orchestrated.
My mother passed away in India 14 years ago from a cancer recurrence. I was living abroad then and came back to spend the last few weeks with her. The pain of her passing has not lessened and I also live in guilt for not having done enough for her. I recently moved back to India and have been living in our old house. A few months ago, while sorting through some belonging, I sensed a distinct shift in energy, a very calm energy, and felt surrounded by a warm smile and immense love. It was her smile and I know it was her. This is the first time I sensed her presence in all these years. It was an extremely pleasant experience. I wonder why she chose to visit now. Did the house provide an easy pathway for her to visit? This is my second encounter with a spirit. The last time was when I was sitting next to my mother as she lay in the hospital bed in her last days. There was a similar shift to a calm energy and I saw an apparition of an older man.
Lakshmi, when a person lives somewhere, their energy gets imprinted into the house. This makes it easier for them to find their way back to that location in the afterlife. I'm sure as you were going through your mom's things and having thoughts of her, it sent out a signal to her in the afterlife. Thus, she came to let you know she is doing well.
I hope you can let go of your guilt and accept that she loves you unconditionally.
Thank you so much, Yvonne. Could you perhaps share your thoughts on the apparition/spirit I saw near my mother before she died? I have wondered over the years who it could have been and if it's someone I know/knew. I understand that spirit-guides come to the dying to help them transition into other realms?
I feel that the apparition was one of your mom's loved ones helping her cross over. Think of who that might be--someone she loved and was close to during her life. When you think of different people that she loved and are on the other side, how does it feel in your body? The thought of the one that feels good to you, is likely the soul that came for her. My grandmother's mom came for her.
She did mention that her mother was calling her. However, this was a clearly a male apparition. I wondered if it was a "guru", one of her religious/spiritual teachers. Ah, well...I guess I'll find out someday. Thank you, I'll keep your advice in mind.
At first I heard the word "Jesus" but wasn't sure if she was close to him in this lifetime.
She was a devout Hindu, so unlikely to have been Jesus :). Thank you for your time, I'll just let this take its course. Best wishes.
My mother deceased 3 yrs. I've had 4 incidents in which I feel like I'm her, moving like her, looking like her, thinking the same. Randomly, not thinking of her at the time. That's it. Not particularly pleasant.
I believe they are indeed.
