Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

SHUDDER! Wow.... I never knew there were so many other people who have had this kind of experience. No one in my family took me very seriously about the events that transpired between me and my sister, beginning when she died. Before anyone had even discovered her body, I'd been contacted. I hadn't spoken with her in months, and suddenly it was like she was talking in my head telling me I needed to call her on the phone. I did, only to get her huband, who told me "I can't find (her). We just got back from the lake, and she's not here. We've got people looking for her now. She didn't want to go with us; I never should have left her here, but she insisted we go without her. I've got to find her - I'll call you back".

Within 10 minutes, he called back. “She shot herself…” “They found her in the woods…” (That was all he could manage, and the call ended). Since then, a number of things have happened, including the inexplicable smashing of a statue I placed in her memory (she was angry for having killed herself), items showing up which had not been there and were clearly messages from her, feelings of her close presence and even spiritual touching and communication whenever I made attempts to reach her. I even allowed her to use my body when she yearned to taste the physical realm again. This went on for about 6 months, after which she crossed over. Now she visits only rarely, mainly in my sleep.

Also I forgot to mention, I have seen the visage of several relatives looking in to say farewell, letting mee know they can watch from beyond, shortly after their deaths. Usually it happens by surprise, seeing them in the background in a mirror, or beside someone in a car. Then after a doubletake reality is restored as I realize they aren't really there, I just saw their ghost.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

The only experience I've ever had was of both of my grandparents together showing up in a picture I had taken on New Year's eve, a year after the date of my grandfather's passing. Every picture I took that night was full of mist - which many people later dismissed as breath or condensation from being a chilly night. It was on a digital camera and I stupidly thought it was malfunctioning and deleted several of them before downloading them onto my computer. One photo was *clear as day* of their two faces. My grandmother had passed 15 yrs earlier and my grandpa had remarried a wonderful woman - but they were together again.

My mother lost her older brother when he was 7 and she was just 2. They were really close, he loved her and protected her and was so proud of his baby sister. She says she always knew he was right there for her until her early twenties when she finally told him she'd be alright now and he could go.

My mother was also very close to my grandmother and for the last 15 yrs or so mom feels a strong connection there. There are signs, she hears music sometimes as she drifts off to sleep, and gets the dreams. My mom has been quite sick for years now and it's comforting to know that while she wants to stay here as long as possible, when it's her time she will have no fear.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

this thread gives me the goosebumps and brings a tear to my eye....

As some of you may know my older sister committed suicide back in 1990 when she was 19 years old.

She did not die in the house or near the house, she had left suicide notes the day before and had driven out into the valley to a place called "Chilliwack" British columbia and was found drowned ina bathtub in one of the small h otels.

The night we found out the horrible news, I ended up sleeping in my parents bed ( I was 17) and I swear to God I had woke up in the middle of the night and saw her standing agaisnt my parents dresser in their bedroom. Her image was so clear as a bell, she was kind of looking very sad with her face sluimped down as if she was sorry that she had died.

I've had numerous dreams about my sister since her death, and even have had dreams recently (being 16 years since her death). When I dream about her, sometimes in the dream I don't notice anything different, as if I don't know that I'm dreaming, and there is a childhood dream playing out and my older sister is there in the dream. Other dreams I seem to know that I'm dreaming and am shocked to see her and question if she is supposed to be in the dream or not or be alive because I thought she had died. In my dreams she is always calm and her normal self, I know one time I dreamt that she had had kids and was much older than the age she died at.

Suicide of a loved one is one of the hardest things to deal with I believe.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

Brook, I'm a true believer in the spirit world and you are both working this out. I have this belief that if our lives are snatched from us sometimes we are caught in the middle. Corky might be trying to make it to the other side, letting you know its alright or that he is still present with you. Even though you had different relationships in the end you had loved.

You are experiencing his spirit, and he is going to get it to you through all mediums. You have the right to be mad, and let him know that. Let him know the emotions you are going through, the feelings you have.

I have had so many experiences with my relatives who have died since I was a child. Before my mother and father knew my paternal grandmother had died, I told my parents she was in the backyard with me playing. Then they got the call she died. My father has visited me in times of trouble since 97, he is a jokester and sometimes hides things in the house. I'm not kidding. I live alone so no one else could do it.
Don't be afraid, he was your love at one time. He won't hurt you or the kids.

I don't know how i know this but I do.
peace and blessings to you and the kids.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

I believe tha the bonds extend beyond this life- absolutely. I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years and change. His mother died from cancer (primarily breast) almost one year before I met him. 3 years and 1 week ago. I've always been a very vivid and lucid dreamer, and I've had numerous dreams about her. I've told bf and his sister about them and they're often very accurate in details concerning her voice and mannerisms. They miss her so much and I can see it everyday, and although I never met her, I feel it too. It doesn't bother me, it's actually sometimes comforting. She was an amazing person and everytime I dream about her I feel like I knew her.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

The stories in this thread have given me the chills and brought tears to my eyes. Also its nice to know I'm not the only one lol
On the night my Dad died, I was driving home from my sisters - us kids had gotten together to make travel arrangements - I was upset and decided to go for a drive. I found my Dads favorite song on a CD popped it in the player and drove around crying. The song played over and over while I cruised and cried. Over bumpy roads sure to make a CD skip, it played beautifully. On and on until I was emotionally drained and drove home.

Now you guys may be thinking so, whats the connection to the spirit world.

My CD player was broken.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

This is truly ironic that I'm reading this at this very moment. The time is 12:36 P.M. EDT.

One year ago, today, between the hour of 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., I had an eerie feeling that something terrible had happened to someone. At 12:36 p.m., I received a call from my husband's uncle's stepdaughter saying that DH's Uncle had passed away!! Here's where it get's even stranger. About a month later, I was speaking with the Uncle's wife and asked her when he passed away (she was with him when it happened). She said he collapsed at 10:30 a.m. and was pronounced dead (from a massive heart attack) at 11:30 a.m.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

My mother Was Murdered when I was 14 years old. I remeber that night waking up at 2am she had been shot at that time and it was like I felt chills up my spine and an uneasyness about me. I woke up and I knew that she had died I don't know how I just knew.

Back years earlier I had always looked at pictures and I remeber asking my mom if she was going to die. SHe always said she would be with me always. I remeber looking at her pictures crying in the pic she was alone and sad and not with us. It wasn't till after she diet that I realized all my life I knew my mother would not be with me.

Often in my dreams she takes me swimming and it's almost like she is here and I can smell her. Sometimes I will be sitting and be extremely sad and the hair will stand up on my arms and it;s like she is right there with me then I feel a clam about me. It's strange but there are sooo many times that I could ahve been killed if I was only 3 seconds sooner and I believer that she is watching and keeping me and my children and my Husband safe. She never saw me get married she never saw my children but, I see her in their smiles. When someone says I look like her it makes me feel happy inside.

I have her inside me always.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

Wow!! These are all great stories, so I'll add my husbands.....His father died about 3 years ago....it was really hard on my husband...they were very close. They did alot of things together in the mountains, hunting being one, my husband has seen his dad several times while he was hunting, usually at a distance and his dad is waving, it's really comforting to him.

The really weird thing is that my dh's mom gave him his fathers watch....it works great except the date...the date stopped on the day my dfil died...and to this day it stays on the same date!!!!

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

Wow.

Again, just ...

Wow.

These stories have really made my heart smile. I'm so sorry for all the losses.

At least now I know I'm not going completely batty.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

You know, the times are weird for Corky's death too, now that I think about it.

Corky's dad passed away on May 14th.

May 14th this year was Mother's Day. (The earring I lost was a Mother's Day gift.)

Corky died on May 15th. 13 years, 1 day after his dad.

Gramma Lila passed away May 22nd, last year.

Corky's Memorial Service was May 22nd.


Corky's time of death was also 11:06. That's what time of day Aaron was born.


Just....weird.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

I wish my dad would come by to visit me. He passed away in April from pulmonary fibrosis...a 65 yr old man who was vibrant and active, from diagnosis to death in 7 mo.... a horrible, horrible disease! Anyway, my mom saw my dad a few days after he passed, standing in their bedroom, looking confused. About a month later she awoke from a dead sleep and heard him clearly say "hello". I would love to hear from him or see him or have a sign from him. I miss him dearly. He was the one I could talk politics with and I'm surprised at how much I miss that. And he only got to know his granddaughter for 15 months of her life. So tragic and I'm still trying to work it all out.

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

I wish I "sensed" something from my mom too. Nothing. A dream here or there - nothing I can really remember when I wake up. A Karen Carpenter song will pop on the radio and remind me of her. But, that's it. What I wouldn't give for a sign. Any sign......

[gabriellek19]

Re: Spirits/Ghosts- Personal Loss ...A thread got me wondering..

Yeah it is frustrating to not get any kind of sign...or am I just blind to it? Not noticing things? I've often thought of sitting with a physic but they are so expensive. I feel my grandmother ALL the time and can even feel her smiling at me. But with dad there is just an emptiness...and he totally believed in being able to send a sign and he always said he would do his best to do so. Maybe he is spending his energy on giving mom signs since she is his one and only? Hadn't thought of that before.
