Messages from the other side

Do you believe in the supernatural? Do you think that anyone has ever tried to contact you or send you signs from the other side?

Thanks Sue, I appreciate your support more than you know. I was told by the spiritualist that the "veil" between us and them is a thin as a strand of hair. Have you read the book THE SHACK ? It really helped me understand a bigger picture of what happens to our souls after our body dies. I've really been angry - losing one's only family/child does lend itself to being angry and I know its one of the stages of grief. However, as I said, I hope that my sweet Amanda will still want to contact me as the years go by. Thanks again Sue for not making fun of me. Many of my friends at church have turned their back on me b/c I went to see a spiritualist. She was a godly woman who just had a gift. I just don't understand why some have to put God into such a small box. Be blessed
Karen

Karen, I would never make fun of you. It is sad that church going people at times hurt others by their judgment. Guess that is why not judging was one of the commandments. Grace is all about accepting others and we are loved regardless of what we do as we are all just learning and growing along this path of life. I encourage you to stay close to the lord and don't let that church cause you to turn your back on God. Find a grace teaching, loving church family. I have one and I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this without them. They were better or at least as good as my own family. It helps that Tom was also well loved there. They were there for me even in my personal life and they still talk about him. He did so many things there that I actually feel as close to him there as anywhere. It is also easy to remember him because others talk about him too. He and I were in a band together and he wrote music and at times his music is still being done. What a blessing. They left a place in the choir where he used to stand until they got so many new people and they filled it up. It was neat that they were honoring him in such a way. Pastor says "the body dies, the soul and spirit lives on". I believe that.
I have never been to a spiritualist but I think I would if I could talk to Tom and get a clear answer back. I am not sure how I feel since I have not had that opportunity. I do talk to Tom all the time and feel he is still with me. I believe only the body dies.
I am very close to my daughter and I know it would be the same with her. I sometimes feel both my parents are around me.
I was having a melt down after Tom passed and it came to me that I need to talk to Mom(she had passed only 8 months prior), and when I realized I couldn't even talk to her, I really was losing it. All of a sudden I just started to laugh and I could just see them sitting together like they are in this picture I had taken and felt like they were saying, "we are still listening", just talk. Later I found that picture in Tom's van. It was up over the viser. He had to have put that there after Mom passed. He loved her too. I felt that the picture was no accident and they are together. Mom always told me what a good man he is as if I didn't know. He was always so sweet to her and always called her mom. It makes me feel good to think they are both watching over me and continue with their unconditional love.
Take care of yourself and you will find your way. Find a new church home if you must but don't let them hurt your walk with the lord. That is always personal. Suep

My mother passed in August 2008. I was so sad and missing her on my birthday which was in December. I tried to go about my day and went into my bedroom to make the bed and I could smell my mother's perfume so strong. It was nowhere in my house except my bedroom. I laid down on my bed and I could feel her presence with me. I still have moments when I know she is watching me and she will never leave me.

On the dawn of the very day my son committed suicide I had a dream with him looking at me and I saw my other son crossing a room where there were more people.
I woke up and thought not only how strange it was but also how amazing to be able to keep the memory of that scene - dreams usually fly away.
I was considering all these things when the phone rang and I got the terrible news. It was March 20th - almost two months have already passed and I hope through my Faith I will get someday the Grace of healing.

Kathy, what a nice blessing you had. Amaryllis, I think those dreams or like a warning to help to prepare our hearts in some way. I dreamed of my dad right before he passed also. I woke knowing I was going to have to let him go. With your son it was different because my dad was already sick but I still feel it is a warning of sorts.
I am so sorry this happened to you both. suep

Hi Melissa, my name is karen, and i just joined after i saw your story. my heart goes out to you, but most of all, i can relate to you, and i do understand what ur saying about the cell phone thing. I went thru that,after my only son was killed in a motorcycle accident. the love of my life, my pride and joy, gone. gone forever. And so many strange things happen with his cell phone, and so many other strange things. It made me feel better, knowing that other people go thru this stuff also, and im not crazy. . But to talk to people who have never gone thru, they just think ur crazy. I really think ur boyfriend was telling you he was ok, and is doing good,and will keep you safe, he was telling you not to cry. Have you ever read sylvia brown books? she is really good,and i belive her, cause of the grief,and all the strange things i went thru. I belive in what she says. She says this is hell,here on earth. Are love ones are in a great place,and they know how much we miss them. Stay strong melissa, he is looking over you at all times, and wants you to stay strong. God bless.

Hello~
When my brother past in Feb. of this year from an auto accident, we were so shocked and still am grieving terribly about it that we dont know how to cope really. I was telling my mother that maybe we could just think that he turned evidence on this local drug dealer, and now he is down in Florida hiding in the witness protection program. That he is happy and sunning himself with a margarita in his hand. Well it wasnt three days later, she started getting these blank phone calls, three in one day with nobody on the other end, but the caller i.d. said Florida! My phone recieved like three blank calls with nobody there, but I truly believe it was my brother letting us know he was there and could hear us talking about him! I feel him so strongly when we really get to talking about him. He is with us, so I tell him I know you are there. He and I had such a strong bond as siblings and as adults, people sometimes said we were like twins, or if they didnt know us they would have thought we were married! I miss him more then I could ever imagine & sometimes wish I could just be with him, but right after he died when I was crying sooo hard I almost threw up, I heard him in my head saying, STOP CRYING! It's so awesome up here Shannon! You will see one day! But right now you have to be strong! I wasnt! So now I need you to be for me because you have to look out for my babies! We will be together again, but right now you need to pull it together! For me! please!! I couldn't believe what I was hearing in the middle of my hysteria! I thought I really lost it & was gong skitso! There was more to that scenerio, but I will keep that to myself. I know now it was him, and he is always with me, protecting me, and guiding me. I had this crazy thought the other night about his long ugly toes,& I started talking to him about how we have the ugliest toes! He got the great thick hair but we have the ugliest toes! It made me feel like he was right there laying on the bed next to me laughing with me.I hope this helps someone who thinks there loved one isn't with them. They are! You just have to unclutter your mind & listen.

I absolutely believe in contact. I have had several---I'm not nuts. Some people will find signs of their loved one, but you sometimes have to look for the signs. Othertimes, such in my case, my nephew committed suicide and I could not get over it. He would always visit in the early morning hours if he was laid off and I would usually be sleeping. My husband would let him in and he would shake my hip violently while I was sleeping on my side. Since he has passed, I have felt this twice and it happened when I would be so overcome with grief, that I would cry and cry until I could sleep. I know I wasn't dreaming, because I could FEEL being shaken and would think it was my husband. He would be sleeping. Another subtle sign was from my father who passed many years ago, but I still miss him. I was thinking about him and talking to him in my mind and I heard a crash in my closet. I looked inside and a large box that I keep all of his army pictures in and pictures of him and my mom before they were married were laying on the closet floor. Some may call this an accident, but I KNOW it was a sign that he was there with me. Just look for the signs and you'll see.
