Can the Dead Here Us?
 

That is "Can the Dead HEAR us?"

It's only natural when a loved one passes on, that one wonders if where he/she is after death if he/she can watch, hear, respond to what's happening in the still alive physical realm. Recently my father-in-law passed on. In life, he was a painter. My spouse and I were talking about his house and how to go about removing all the paint that has accumulated there over the years. As we sat in the house talking it over, suddenly the truck alarm went off in the garage. There was no one in the garage and the truck keys sat on the kitchen counter in the house. So what caused the very loud honking alarm to go off on its own?

After getting it off I reminded my spouse what we were talking about when the alarm sounded off. Both of us were convinced that Dad was chiming in using the truck alarm to get our attention.

Just got me wondering just how capable humans are of trying to communicate with their still living loved ones.

Oh they can definitely hear us, and it's amazing how they respond~! I remember my brother and I discussing my grandfather over the phone years ago when my lights went out and my door slammed shut. I was so scared at the time I ran out the door when I found it, lol. I called my brother back and told him what happened; he experienced some strange activity, too. My grandfather played video games on his SNES gaming console, and he loved Donkey Kong Country. My brother had been playing Donkey Kong Country one night in the living room, and got up to take a break. In the living room, he heard the volume on the television go up full blast. Everybody else was in bed, so nobody else could have done it, and that wasn't something that t.v. did.

But yeah, I think that was your father-in-law too. I wonder how many times though, if any, that I have missed signs and communication attempts from those who have crossed over. I try to keep my eyes and ears open at all times.

Thanks so much for sharing your story about your grandfather, wozniak. I'm like you now (since the truck alarm went off), thinking about just how many signs I may have missed from other loved ones that passed on. Since that incident, I've been talking more to people that are no longer here, thinking they may hear me. I have a photo on the shelf of my grandparents that I haven't seen in ages, but I loved them dearly. I'm hopeful now, that they are watching over me.

No they can't. Don't worry!

They can hear us and see us just fine. It's all good.

To me it seems like loved ones tune in and out of us. No they are not there with us every second so aren't going to see or hear everything but they do know when we are in need and when we tune into them. And meanwhile they are never that far away. And they are likely to pick up on the smallest kind thought sent their way.

I agree Tobi. You said it better than I could of. I might also add they are not invasive. They respect our privacy.

When my mom was terminally ill with cancer it was very stressfull. I came home to live with her 5 days a week. My kids came with me as well at the same time my mom had custody of my sisters 3 kids. So I was taking care of 5 kids in total all 5 and younger, plus my mom who was going through treatment. On a particularly stressful day. The AC quit one of the kids was sick with a fever and the house was so hot I couldnt even get the thermometer in her mouth because it kept reading the house temp. We were totally broke and I was so stressed. I laid down on my moms bed and fell asleep for about 15 minutes. My grandmother came to me and told me not to worry there was a check in the mail box. She told me everything was going to be fine and that she loved me. When I woke up my daughter came up to me and said look i drew a picture for gram crackers which is what everyone called my grandmother. I knew instantly she had also talked to my daughter too. I told my mom about the dream and when the mail came sure enough there was a check in the mailbox for 600 dollars. My dad who absolutely never paid child support for me (after all I was 27 and he still owed over 50k) had sent a check.

Our loved ones know when we are at our breaking point and they communicate with us. They hear us and they visit on holidays and birthdays and special occasions. A year after my mom passed and on my birthday My husband sang me Happy birthday at midnight and for whatever reason he recorded it. It was just us and he was goofing off and then all of a sudden this white mist almost like smoke materialized in front of my face. You could only see it on the video through the view finder. I know that was my mom coming to visit me on my birthday.

Namaste`

I like what you said, Tobi! I think, like you, that they can hear us when we talk to them or are thinking strongly of them in times of need. I wouldn't want to be watched 24/7 though, LOL. :D

Compendium - I'm so sorry to hear about your mother's illness and passing on as well as the hard times that you went through. I hope those hard times are behind you. Thank you for sharing your story. It's stories like this that inspire those of us who have lost a loved one. Again, sorry for your loss. :hug:

Thank you BlackRaven I lost all of my loved ones in a span of ten years, but I have a very different outlook on those I have lost. I was ecstatic when they passed they got to go home and I was so happy for them. I communicated with my mom even while she was in a coma. We had a deal though. When the time came she would go and not hang on for us. It was very painful to watch my grandmother hang on for the love of her life and I didnt want to watch my mom go through that. Life works in funny ways though, even with her being terminally ill we where not ready with the paper work and a few other loose ends. So I went in and told her I need you to hang on for me so I can get things in order. As soon as everything was official and taken care of I informed her and she passed away within an hour spiritually and her body a few hours after that. I did the same thing with my mother in law though I didnt have enough time with her :(. I tried to help her let go of the anger and stop living in the past. She was a very young soul though and she had a lot of trouble with forgiveness. All my family members came to visit me within hours of passing and when all the women I loved passed on they brought me Astral to a place just outside of heaven and we all had a nice conversation though I cant remember the content. What mattered most to me was that they where all so very happy and joking and laughing together. Some would say it was my wishful thinking that created the dream, but while I was there one of my moms old boyfriends opened a door and yelled at me that I dont belong there and that they had no right bringing me there. I had no idea he had passed away or that his first wife had passed. When I woke up I did a search and sure enough he had passed a year prior from a heart attack and his first wife had also passed. That was enough confirmation to verify the reality of it to me.

I love sharing my experiances with others because I always hope people can take solace from it. The only thing in life anyone should fear is fear itself. It lowers your vibration and attracts negativity.

Spirit can see and hear us that is why if you want to talk to them they will hear you. if you are thinking of them they draw close to you.but they are not with you all the time.
you don't have to speak out loud to them because they are just a Thought a way.

Namaste

Compendium - I believe I know how you feel when you say you were happy when your loved ones got to go home. My 94-year-old father-in-law just passed away in his own home surrounded by family. Of course there were a lot of tears, but I didn't cry. I just felt relief for him because he had suffered for so long and seemed to keep holding onto life for the adult children in the family, even though everyone was fine. He lived almost 20 years longer than his wife.

I liked reading about your astral travel experience. It is very interesting to say the least.

I am sorry for your families loss. It is painful for us when those we love move on from this physical realm. It is important for them to understand this seperation is only temporary and though it seems like forever it really goes so fast. I like to see it as I have extra champions in heaven. I talk to my loved ones often, we laugh and joke and tell funny stories about them in my house, sometimes I hear them laugh with us or their responses. My children especially find comfort in this.

i was complaining about someone who past away (the topic of a past event came up in conversation and i still had strong feelings about a particular time) well the person who past away, came to me in a dream a few days later to tell me that the situation wasn't all their fault - so that's enough for me to know that - Yes they hear us!

Autumn i had a lot of anger towards my family that has past on and the worst thing was I had to deal with it. I knew they were watching it all and once i was done I felt and still feel horrible about it. Even though I have apologized not a single one has visited since.:(

You have a right to feel angry. Your human. Don't feel bad about it. Maybe light a candle as a sign of peace for them. Regardless of how you feel about them.
It might help you heal :)

Thank you Compendium. I appreciate your sentiments. :hug:

Right on. :smile:

My husband died just over a week ago and I really thought I might feel him around me. I could feel his mother when she passed. I could hear her voice and even speak to her but with my beloved husband there's nothing. We were married for 47 years. Nothing can ever be the same again for me. I have spoken to him and cried a lot for him but still there's nothing not even a little sign that he can hear me. When he died I told him I'd be alright and that he didn't have to worry about me. He went peacefully but a he was a little reluctant to part. I had to tell him it was ok.

Jillity - I am so very sorry for your loss of your husband of 47 years. I can't imagine losing my spouse. The pain must be unimaginable. I wish that I could say time heals all wounds, but that's an empty cliche. I do believe as we keep our passed loved ones in our thoughts, prayers and talk to them in our own unique and private way - they can hear us. Again, my heart goes out to you Jillity. Thank you for sharing. I hope that you have family and friends that can support you during this very sad and trying time in your life. :hug2:

I believe that those who have gone on are aware to a certain degree what is going on and sometimes they appear to us in dream or in a ghost form. They appear to some more than others. Why this is I don't know. I don't know if they make the decision to communicate to us in dreams or in ghost form or whether that decision is made by a higher entity.

Hello

Those that have passed can set off alarms turn on and off a tv or radio. I once had a phone call come in from someone where the phone line had been cut off. This pre dates the answering machine or call display ext. It was a call for help, with a name and address given, so I passed it along to the authorities.

It was a few days later that I got a call back to say "pranks can lead to charges" as that house was abandoned and the owner of it passed, there is no active phone in the house.

When it comes to making changes in the house, renovations, at times are noted by those that lived and loved the house. They at times feel that something is done they do not care for or feel they still have a say. At times its best to ask permissions to make changes to a home.

I had that with my home two woman that loved the house are still visitors at times here. One loved the roses that were planted here when the house was built in 1980 so I keep them well. The other woman had a passion for "wall paper" so when I came to find some rather "loud" paper under the paint in the kitchen I kept some of it and made a picture memory of it.

Hi Lynn. Thanks for commenting on this thread. I believe you're right on when you say one should ask permission from a deceased one before making any changes to his/her home. My father-in-law would never, ever throw any paint out and for us to discuss getting rid of all the paint cans in the house likely stirred him and so he sounded the truck alarm. We heard him loud and clear!

Abraham talks about the story when. Ester could sense her dead spouses energy around. She said "but it id like I want to have him actually talk to me."

Later on she went to a hotel room and a black bird like a Mina bird was on the balcony outside. It said "Can you hear me now?" Over abed over....so neat!

I personally dont think they are around often but I only say that based on my own experiences with passed over family.

eg I used to often experienced my passed over pet cat but I only experienced my deceased uncle once about 10 years after his death (he died young and tragically), it was like he'd only just managed to get here and he was like trying to catch up with all the family (maybe it was cause he died in a sudden accident he couldnt visit earlier?? it may of been harder to heal from that and accept his death??)

but with my grandfather.. both me and my sister experienced him in the same night 3 days after his death and not since

I havent experienced any of my other family members of this lifetime after their deaths so just dont think they are commonly about, well not with me anyway.

as an interesting sidenote to this topic of passed over ones visiting. I had a visit from someone who was my son Nathaniel from another lifetime who was in awe of our things here, he was from around 15th-17th centuary and was in awe at our beds lol, his bed was stuffed with straw and he was able to experience my bed here. He came and lay in bed with me. (i guess in those times families probably often shared beds, it wasnt weird for him to get into bed with me). I didnt remember him till I met him again. Another time I possibly had my italian???? mother from another past life visit she called me by a past life name and just stood there stroking my head. So anyway, we not just occassionally get our passed away loved ones from this life visit but also at times others too.

I agree baronesslucy. After my grandmother died she appeared to me in what I thought was a lucid dream one morning. She was vividly glowing with yellow and white light all around her and was at the foot of my bed.

That is neat CreativeSpirit. Black birds are know in folklore to be messenger birds from the dead. Love it!

sea-dove...You sound like a believer to me with all the experiences you've had. My pet dog came into my bedroom after she died (I could hear her chain collar clinging) and she cuddled up next to me on the bed. Others told me it was my grief making me think I experienced that, but I know what I know.

Hello

With pets they do come to us. My eldest Son told me about my Dad (whom passed long before he was born) and told me about a large round dog, that had slime coming from its mouth. My Dad as a boy had a British Bull Dog. Then he said about a small brown dog that was in a picture with my Dad and me, I date to "black and white" photos. So he could not know that dog was brown, that was my childhood dog. Then a small rough fur black dog, that was the one I had after my first dog. Then a cat that was a fur ball, that got you wet when you patted it. That was my Grandma's cat. My Dad had all of them with him on a visit. My Son was 2 ish at the time. He called the man in his room "Spirit".

So yes our pets come to us...it is real. I was in the Reading Room one night on here and a black bunny came and sat on my livingroom floor. It was the bunny of a member that had passed a bit ago.

So yes you did experience a visit.

Lynn

I like your use of the word "Spirit" in your post. It is most appropriate. Verily, "Spirit" can see and hear us and can manifest whatever is most appropriate in responding to us. :smile:
