Anyone feel like a dead spouse/relative looks out for them?

[SpamChaudFroid]

For background, DH died a few years ago, and at the time it was horrific. I still miss him, but can cope now, and life feels quite positive again.

I was getting ready to go out to a meeting yesterday morning, a meeting I did not think I'd get the outcome I wanted, (from past experience). My 7 month old puppy had sneaked past the cats into my bedroom and began barking at a small painting I have of late DH in there, and doing that skittish play bow thing they do when they want to be chased. Then he started doing the same to the urn that I still have DH's ashes in. Jokingly I said to DH, (I talk to him still) to give me a sign, and could he please help me out in this meeting.

The meeting went perfectly, and went exactly as I'd needed it to - a first! Then later on, when walking the puppy, I looked up into an oak tree, and there was an oak apple. I ALWAYS used to try to find those to show DH, because he'd never seen one. I always associated actual apples with him, because he would eat an apple every day without fail at teatime with a cup of tea.

I snapped off the twig with the oak apple and pocketed it, and am looking at it now and wondering if he's still keeping an eye on me.

Anyone else feel like this? It's very comforting. I'm not religious, but do have my own ideas about life after death.

My mum says she can hear her mum chuckling every time she gets in a pickle with her sewing/knitting. She often asks her advice and gets a hint. Good to be passing on those practical skills from the beyond eh gran? My mum is very no-nonsense by the way!

Why would they not look after you? Love never dies we, the living, just needs to accept that it has many forms.
And my thing is whenever I need ‘help’ I can smell my Nans perfume, she used to wear yardley tweed, or a robin sets itself down near to me whatever the season. Had one last week come out of nowhere, sat on a bollard and stared at me for a few minutes solid!!
Nice to feel that around you. Comforting x

That's so beautiful and moving. I wrote about a couple of butterfly experiences I had a couple of weeks ago. You can find it on this board.
