Have you ever been given a "sign" from a deceased loved one?

Question

Have you ever been given a "sign" from a recently deceased loved one? Or, have you ever seen your loved one in the form of a person after they passed away? My wife believes she received a sign from her father who died years ago. I'm not a believer, but this one was pretty convincing. Tell me your story. Ten points to the best one.

Answer 1

Absolutely.

I had a near death experience a couple of years ago. Not only do I know that we are loved and watched over, I also know that when people tell you that they've seen a deceased love one, they should be listened to.

I have stories about myself and my family that would probably give you chills down your spine.

Good for you for not making fun of your wife. What she experienced was real. Don't doubt her. Support her. He father came to tell her he loved her and she probably needed his reassurance for one reason or another. I'm guessing that she felt pretty good (though a little unnerved) after seeing him?

Since being married to me, my husband has seen and heard things that he cannot possibly explain. Now when something strange happens in our house he looks at me as if to say, "What did you do now?"

These things happen all the time. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Answer 2

Well when my mom lost her dad, (my Grandad), she said that she got a sign from him letting her know that he was ok. I'm not going to go into details, but thats exactly what she prayed for, was something to just let her know that he was ok and safe. That was right around the time where I turned my own life around...





Some of these later answers are saying that it's impossible for a sign to be sent, but I do not think that's so. Maybe the sign didn't come from the deceased friend or relative, but it came from somewhere else about the deceased. You never know.

Answer 3

I think the only thing that happens to me is an occasional feeling that the person might be with me, watching me, or I might hear myself say something that sounds just like them.. This is all too easily explained away as being inside my head, which I mostly believe as this is what is meant by the dead live on inside you, but I do sometimes feel some sort of presence

Answer 4

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 5

I believe that God's Spirit gives you the "Holy Ghost feeling", when you are in need of encouragement, after the loss of a loved one. I believe if the person is a Christian, that God relieves their grief , though it may be God, Himself, in the thoughts of the person, ya know?

Also, when my dad died, I walked outside and it was horribly quiet, and not even a BIRD was singing. I prayed "God, please, I NEED to hear a bird." And before I really got it out of my mouth, a mockingbird took my breath away--right to my side, landed on a branch, and sang away.
When I go to work, daily, just about ALWAYS, there is a mockingbird where I work that LOVES the top of the lightpole where we have to walk in. He lights and sings EVERY TIME I get out of my car, I promise.
I always think of my dad, looking in on me. I LOVE mockingbirds, even MORE than I ever have.

Answer 6

NO but my sister has. My grandmother died after a number of years of being placed in a home as she had a stroke and was unable to walk any more. My grandmother was a very tall solid woman so she could not get the help she required in her own home. She was very independent before her stroke and a very proud woman. She had lost two husbands previously and then remarried two years before her stroke. In the home she was very unhappy, she missed her home her interdependency and life as she once new it, all she wanted to do was go home. My sister and my self went to see every month as it was a long way to go. She was always asking us to help her to leave and we were sadden by this as she was giving up as she knew she was going to die there.We quite often left in tears as we new she had given up and just wanted to die. A time after she died my sister had a visit from her in her sleep reassuring us that she was happy and she was walking as much as it saddens me i am happy for her now as she is once again happy

Answer 7

I have seen "ghosts" on several occasions. some I know - some I don't. When my boyfried was killed he was around talking to me a lot. He told me he was fine and he was glad it was him and not me. I had a friend who's brother was killed - they had run a motel together and each had his own cabin. After his brother had died he didn't rent out that cabin, and it was empty, but guests would always complain about the loud music coming from it - sometimed even naming the music - which had been his brother's favorite,

Answer 8

I've had dreams of dead loved ones, but I know they are only God (or even your own mind) giving you comfort.

Once we are dead, there is no coming back, no giving of signs, nothing. If you are Christian, you cannot believe in it because of what it says in the story of Lazarus the beggar (no, not the one raised from the grave by Jesus, the other one). If you are Atheist, then you cannot believe in it because you believe we simply die and go back to the earth.

Answer 9

when my father passed away, my children slept downstairs with me instead of in their own rooms. i saw my father bend over them, and kiss them goodnight. it was the day of his death. his form was smokey. he loved them very much, and worried about them because their father did not care for them. a few years later, after my mother died, i felt left alone in the world. i was waiting for my daughter to come out of a friends house, and i had a buddy holly tape playing. i remembered how my father said i had good taste in music when i was a kid, because he liked buddy holly too. he beat me when i was young because my sister lied to him about me. that night, waiting for my daughter, i wondered why, deeply, that he beat me. his voice came on the tape, saying i'm sorry, i'm so sorry. he was letting me know he had been misled. when i heard him, i knew i had to let the past go , or he would have no peace. i knew too that he knew the real me then. signs are real, and prove that life does not end here.

Answer 10

I believe...two days after my grandfather died we were all sitting at his house in the kitchen and the blender turned on and it wasn't even plugged in and sometimes if you go into his bathroom the water will turn on by itself.
