Have you received any kind of 'sign'.......??

From your lost loved one?
There are so many who tell me they can 'feel the presence' of their loved ones.
Sadly, haven't felt the presence of my beloved sister since she died
one month ago today...
Never remember receiving any kind of sign from my mother or father........


This sounds so selfish, but there is a nagging emptiness that won't go away.....
Seems if she could come to me in a dream or something, that perhaps
I could feel more at peace.....
Does this make sense??????
:(

" I had one dream, my dad passed away 7 months ago. I had a dream that I was talking to him, on a white park bench in a park somewhere. I don't remember the entire conversation, but he said "I can hear you when you talk to me, even if it's just in your head." I'll never forget my dream. Other than that, nothing. "

" Im not sure if this is a sign or not, but I had hugged my grandfather goodbye...literally 15 minutes later we realized he had passed. (Extremely suddenly).

When we were driving to the hospital, I was still feeling the warmth from our last hug.

I like to think that it was his spirit telling me he loved me, but it may have been my own imagination. I suppose it's my own choice. I can believe what I choose...I'll believe it was him. "

" This definitely makes sense to me. Maybe you can try to talk to her before you go to sleep - concentrate on your sister, maybe have something there beside you which belonged to her and then just think that you need her to communicate with you and let you know that she is ok. Good luck! Read the book "Hello from Heaven", too. "

" I have to say that I've been waiting, wishing for, yearning for the same thing. My world would change if somehow I could hear my sweet Luann (wife) tell me in some clear, understandable, unmistakable form that she is OK, I need to be happy and move on and that she'll see me soon. I've never received anything of the such from any loved ones, those great souls of ages long past or those most recent. It would definitely provide inner peace. "

" These dreams are, I HOPE, communications from our loved ones. I have had many many dreams of my dearest Dad and Mom - and I have had some signs from my Dad and Mom...enough to have me believing that they are around. This sounds like a sign to me - and I hope you take this dream as such. I wish you everything good. "

" I have had a few experiences/dreams since my dad passed away. My son's toys will start when no one is around. I have had some dreams, and my parents appear to have found each other. The best sign happened a few days ago. My son (who is 27 mos old) has been asking for my dad, his pap-pap for several weeks now, my son wants to see him. I am putting my son into his car seat, all of a sudden my son gets so excited, he says I found pap-pap!! I asked him where pap-pap was, he pointed upword and said right there, see him? Then he waved, and said hi grandma!! (his grandma had passed away two years before my son was conceived). My heart just stopped, but I just started talking to them, my son told me they were there, and I believed him! So I had a nice conversation with them, I hope they keep coming to see my son and me!

She will give you a sign someday, and I hope it is soon "

" SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. I LOST MY HUSBAND 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD A FEW SIGNS.I CAN'T FEEL HIM ALL THE TIME BUT I KNOW WHEN HE IS NEAR. I DON'T BELIEVE YOU DIE AND THAT IS IT I HAVE FELT HIM. I BELIEVE THEY CAN COME BACK SOMEHOW BUT MAYBE WHEN GRIEF IS SO RAW YOU UNINTENTIONALLY BLOCK THEM BECAUSE WE ARE SO UPSET.MAYBE THINK OF HAPPY TIMES IT'S OKAY TO LAUGH AND SMILE YOU KNOW IT WILL HELP.SOMETIMES WE TRY TOO HARD. TAKE CARE. "

" The one thing that sustains me through all this is the hope I will get some sort of tangible proof that Vincent is still with me.

I am so happy for those who have had a genuine experience with this. Vincent took his own life, and I wonder if he is unable to deal with the pain he left to us. I still hold out hope though of getting some sign that is undeniably from him--something only he would have known. "
