My profile photo is a photo I took one evening about 2 weeks after my mother passed. I had asked the day before if she could send me a sign.
I was always taking photos of my 2 dogs and I took one that evening.
She loved them both. I was sitting on her sofa at her house when I took it.
I saw nothing when I took it, but when I checked the photo, what a surprise I had! I knew she was fine ^j^

I appreciate that you shared your experience with us. I was with my Mother when she died. I was the one who announced to the others that she was gone. Even though you know they are in a better place, I went downstairs and cried.

You seem to be taking their lost well...... but when my Mother died, I thought it would not bother me..... but it did. So, in a little way, I can only imagine how you feel.

Take care.

One of my sisters grabbed up a lot of Mom's things. I had first 'grab'.
That sister took all of that stuff that she could fit in a u-haul trailer so as to put it in a room to become a shrine. She did that also with her Father. She would go to his gravesite where she would see and talk to him.

My Mom passed 02/03/19 @ 1125 am. A few weeks before her diagnosis I had a few dreams. We surrounded her in her hospital room. I leaned over to Dad and told him to let her go. A few weeks later she was diagnosed with colon cancer ( her 2 strokes and MS did not help matters)

The night before she passed I was asleep in bed with her when I dreamed of a white door closing on me. I woke up in a frenzy and found my Dad putting a white hospital blanket on me.

I talk with my Mom every morning. I can still see her smile and hear her voice.

For all that have loved and lost, I am truly sorry.

I lost my mother on the 10/12/2016 and my father on the 20/02/2017. My mother to Parkinson's and a rare blood disease, and my father to cancer.

The sad truth about death is that we are oblivious to it most of the time even though it surrounds us, and even though it is a fact of life. We allow ourselves to distance our feelings and thoughts around it because it's not somebody we know, or it's not directly affecting our lives at that moment. Then one day it happens to somebody dear to our hearts, coming quickly into focus and more real than ever. Suddenly death isn't just a word but a feeling, of cause and effect.

In the aftermath, we go through the motions neither one of us following the conventional patterns of grievance, taught to us by those who have yet to face death head-on. We don't grieve in any particular way or form because we each deal with pain and hurt differently, and that's OK.

The truth is, nobody tells you how much it will hurt to lose somebody you love, but then again, nobody reminds us to appreciate them more while they are here. That's because sometimes you never really know what you had until it's gone.

In our hearts and deepest memories, we seek to find a comfort that leads us down a path to healing and in remembrance of those we lost, we pay our respects and offer our forgiveness.

As a tarot reader, knowing the meaning of the Death card actually helped to remind me that following death is rebirth and transformation. I believe in life after death, and I believe they are safe and that they are at peace. I know that when I ever come to doubt that, nature, signs and synchronicities they remind me of their presence. Butterflies, feathers, music, rainbows...they are here and they still live among us. They watch over us, protect us and most importantly, love us.

To those that are still looking for that comfort, I offer you the words on my mothers grave a piece of a poem that reads

"Softly the leaves of memory fall, gently I gather and treasure them all. Unseen, unheard, you are always near, so missed, so loved, so very dear."

My father loved the poem Desiderata to which I agree, has a lot of valuable insight about life. I shall leave you with the beginning of that poem the words on his grave, which I think, gives us all a little wisdom to live by.

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence."

My thoughts are with you all and know you're loved ones are at peace.

I feel like the hardest part, especially in the beginning is once the service is over and people go back to their normal lives.. you still feel stuck in concrete. It's still hard on me, however I feel like I mourn her more for other's than myself. I've come to terms with her being gone. I just haven't come to terms with other's feeling the same as I do.

Yes bill that is so correct when it slows down people leave, some you will see again others you wont.
As a child my grandmother used to take me through the cemetery by her house we would sit there for hours.
just reading the head stones and enjoying the peace.
Sometimes she would see me waving to people they were spirits. at the time i thought everybody could see them.
The smiles on their faces was worth a lot. no pain going where they wanted
I was only three four maybe but i used to have conversations with them.

There is no death just a continuing of life



Namaste

Native, it's odd how people view things. Around most people I accept their condolences. However, to myself, I think of my Mom as having a new Birthday. She graduated from this realm to another.

That's pretty cool you were that close to your grandmother. Just the idea of someone so close to you accepting the things you can do. My great Aunt had similar abilities to yours. She said she could see the spirits of all the animals that died along her road. Now that I think of it she was always drawn to me. Maybe she knew I was more like her than other family members.
