Death of a loved one

[Kimba]

Hello,
I am new to your forum and wondered if anyone would like to tell us all about an experience you have had with the passing of a loved one. Did they come to you in a dream? Did you sense they were with you at any time? Did something go missing from its place at home only to turn up in the same place months later? Whatever it was I am very interested to hear your story.

To start I can briefly tell you mine.
About 16 years ago when I was 19 my boyfriend comited suicide. We had a baby together and it was pretty traumatic for me as I had no support from anyone but I soldiered on. Anyway I cant remember exactly how many days after his death but it was not long and he came to me in a dream. He was sitting on a farm gate that was very familiar to me (but yet I couldnt place it) and he told me he needed to say goodbye. I remember being very upset and crying with him. I did not see my brother but I knew he was standing behind me and my boyfriend said i would be ok and gave me the sense that my brother would be there for me. he got off the gate and walked off into a field. And all I could say was 'wait...wait...im not finished yet...wait.
it was only after I had this dream that I was talking to a friend and she said that before my boyfriend died he told her he was happiest at the farm we lived at only a few months before. it hit me like a brick and i realised that is where i was in the dream.

The weird thing is a month before he died I knew it was going to happen but didnt know how. I felt silly mentioning it so I didnt. Instead we talked about life after death. We agreed that if one was to die before the other they would come back and tell the other one.....he certainly did.

Whats your story?

I had a dream of my grandfather, before he died.
We knew he is close to the end of his life, as he has been hospitalized once, and brought back from clinical death. He said to my cousin, why did you brought me back here ? It was so good there in the brightness ...

Anyway, I knew he has to go sooner or later, and one night I had this dream of a white dove trying to escape through the carpentry of a church's bell tower ... and when I woke up, I knew it was about him.
Later, he died, and even though I was close to him from my childhood, I did not feel any sorrow. He was a wise man, without vices, who once told me to remeber to learn always, and who had a six children, and a long life, died at the age of 90.

I did not have any visit of people who passed away and i know my example is unfitting a bit ...

I've been blessed with very few death in my lifetime *knock on wood*. I did have a fascinating dream once however of a "past-life"ish kind of nature.

I had this dream when I was 16:

I was standing in the yard closest to the field next to our home with my brother and a childhood friend. Out of the tall grass came a huge female mountain lion. My friend took off running despite my protesting against it. The lion kept stalking towards my brother and I. In my head I said "What do you want?" The lion replied telepathically (at least I think) "I've come for my child back". The REALLY weird part was me telling the lion "I'm not ready to go yet." The lion just looked at me and then turned around and left.

I've never had an affinity or connection to lions prior to the dream but since then I feel a huge connection. It also is odd because my zodiac sign is Leo. :P

a few days before my mother crossed over i started to feel like i was wrapped up in cotton wool, it was a weird feeling, like the guardians protecting me.
Mum had open heart surgery ( she lived at the other side of the world, i wasn't with her), very risky, survived it, but three days later when she had to get out of bed she collapsed and died. i knew a couple of years prior which month and year she was going to die, so i was kind of prepared, yet the shock has some impact.

about 3 month later i was looking at my budget spreadsheet, trying to figure out a way of paying off my debts, when suddenly Mum stood next to me (in spirit obviously but clearly there) and said 'don't worry, it is all taken care of'
imagine my surprise, i asked 'but how' , but she had vanished again.
the following day i went to the bank teller to check my account balance, to see if my pay had gone in ( the debts were the overdraft of this account) the balance was in the positive, yet the amount did not match my pay.
i was confused, thought the pay office had mucked up and walked into the bank to ask them to check this deposit.
they confirmed it had gone in overnight, a foreign amount which was enough to pay off my debts and a bit extra.
it just about floored me, as you can imagine, and i was very shaken up...who put that money into my account?

well, mum's husband was going to send over my inheritance, which was mainly her jewellery. he wanted to keep the wedding ring (understandibly so) and decided to deposit the money it had been valued at into my account.
Mum either knew his intentions or guided him to these actions, hence her appearance by my side to let me know it was going to be alright.

nowadays i often dream of her, but they appear to be mainly dreams of a healing nature.

Namaste
Savannah

I had a friend in college who passed away and sometimes ill still hear his voice...it was very distinct. Nothing major or anything I guess

Hi Erica.........That's interesting too. Do you think your friend is trying to tell you something? That is usually a warning for me. Next time it happens take notice over the next few days or weeks. In my case I heard my name being called a few times as I was getting into bed. A few months later my partner died. other times I heard my name being called it has been a warning of things to come over the next few days. it is always a distinct voice too.

Hi Kimba,

Lately my paternal grandmother who died in 1997 now visits me. Interesting that she makes her presence know by the perfume of the hairspray she used to spray onto her hair, a very distinct smell I shall never forget. Anyway she is here at the moment to assist me with a few things, very grateful for her help. I loved her as a child and used to visit for weeks and later on we still had a very special bond and link to each other and it now persists after her passing on as well.

What is just so amazing for me is the way, through smell, in which she let me know she is here. This never happened before, I usually feel them or see them, but not smell, so this is a new exploration for me as well.
