It has been about 13 weeks since they have passed and when I go to bed a night, I keep thinking about how much I miss them. It makes it hard to sleep at night. Last night I felt like they were near me and I smelled the scent of roses. Has anyone elsed ever had that happen to them. It smelled so real.

In view of the deep attachment and love you had with your sister and father they appear to have come to you in your memory, dream and sleep. Loosing 2 very close relative in a span of 6 days is horrible and no word can console you. You will also not be able to forget them or their demise.
But you have to come out of this. Only time will make the change and you should also try. Try by diversion of mind. You devote more time, ofcourse if you have, for the cause of CANCER, which consumed your sister and you will get some solace by it. You can serve people and also tell them about anti-cancer programs etc.
Secondly, I request you to practice meditation and it will bring you peace in your mind. You can meditate whenever you want any number of time. Try to have diversified activities and you will come out successfully. -

I have never lost anyone that was close to me, besides that I practice non-attachment. But to answer your question, all senses exist in the mind. So if you smelled roses, I will not doubt or mock you at all. Nor will I deny that it was thier presense. You can small the scent of roses if you are or are not around any. I myself choose to try and cut of my senses, except for food. And I only drink water, so that one is set for me. But senses kick back in when they need to. Like when a skunk is nearby. LOL. I will tell you something to my belief. Each man/woman is a heaven or a hell. So when you smelled the roses, it was them in you. You ARE a heaven. So in an essence, they are with you right now. And one day, GOD will reveal that to you. And I want to give you my condolences. The situation that you went through is just a natural part of life. One of the inevitable consequences of existing. But look at it like this, they are more alive than me and you are right now. Unaccepted by most, but is the truth. Take care!

No, i have not lost all and sundry because of breast maximum cancers, yet my mom grow to be clinically determined with it this year on the age of 86. They reported that it would come again, because she did not bypass by skill of radiation. I truly have had countless pals which have had it, and after remedy, 3 of them were given blood clots and that is what killed them. i'm sorry about your Grandma, my pal, yet i'm happy that your aunt has gained the conflict.

My father committed suicide in October, a few days before my birthday. The day he killed himself, I had a dream that he sent me a birthday card and he'd written in it, "Remember no matter what happens, I love you." I woke up freaked out (he had been suicidal for months, but things had been better for several weeks before) and tried to get in touch with him all day, and couldn't get through. I got the call that night. I honestly feel that was his way of saying good-bye to me.
Another freaky thing that happened after the burial. My dad was a hunter, and he died during hunting season. The last exchange I remember at the grave-site was my father's childhood friend crying and hugging my brother. We got into our car and were on our way up to my uncle's house for a gathering of family and friends, when a couple of police cars and an ambulance rushed by us. We were all scared it was someone heading up for the gathering, and sure enough -- up the road a ways we saw my cousin and a long line of other cars pulled over. We stopped, and learned that a deer ran out in front of some lady's car, bounced off her car into the on-coming lane, and my aunt ran over it. We drove away, thankful no on was hurt. That's when my brother -- my brother who doesn't believe there is a God, let alone ghosts or spirits -- said in a quiet voice from the back seat, "Right before we got in the car, Rick (my dad's friend) said to me, 'I hope your dad sends me a deer.' " His car was right in back of my aunt's car. It was broad daylight, and deer don't usually get spooked into the road in broad daylight. We all think it was a sign from him.
So yeah, I believe in stuff like this too. And I'm very, very sorry for your recent losses.

I have not had that experience, but I know of other very credible people who have had similar ones. I have had some tragic losses, but I can only imagine what you are going through. I can assure you that, while you you will never forget, it will get easier. You will find that the memories grow, while the bad ones fade. God bless you.

The fragrance of God, is what I call it. It may have been them saying goodbye, and then God presence or scent filling the room with his fragrance, to let you know that everything is fine and to go on with your lofe, they are happy were they are. I have smelt the fragrance before, when I pray for people. Once out in the open, so it was strange that the fragrance was so strong, and in my room at night. Be comforted.

The memory of the wake is probably still fresh in your mind, and may be brings that smell to you...I feel so bad for you. I lost my sister April of 2005, and my mom way back in 1992 she died at 45yrs of age, and I always dream of them both, and miss them terribly... People say time will help but I think the closer u are to them the harder it is --and any amt of time won't help... My condolences, and best wishes...to you and yours

In this day, with all the turmoil, war and dis pair we have the tendency to take things like family for granted, until they are gone. In the last 10 years I have lost two uncles, all of my grandparents, and my mother. I have had to watch my father (now 83) worry himself over his wife of 56 years death and will never get over loosing her. We loose things and people all of our lives, but we never ever think of it as them being better off. Although we don't have them in our lives anymore, we still have their memories and spirit with us, so don't torment yourself over their deaths. Be happy for them. At least this way they are no longer suffering. The Lord will bless you and keep you.

I know how you feel, and its good to think of them sometimes when they're gone, but if you have a hard time sleeping try thinking of something else while you're in bed so it wont hurt your feelings all the time.
