Has anyone had a message from the dead?

[SummerBlondey]

My Mum passed in June 2020. She was very spiritual. She was adamant before her passing that she would send a sign from the other side. It's now 8 months and no sign. I am normally very non woo, but was secretly hoping for something......

I always have extremely vivid dreams, and I guess I have no reason to think that this, was anything more.

I have
When my mum was dying she loved the hymn I watch the sunrise. I sat at her bed and sang it to her. It was also played at her funeral.
We had a psychic come to the house about a year later.
When I went in she started humming the hymn at first I didn't know what she was doing. She started to sing it and told me your mammy says thanks for singing it. She also told me my mum and dads first names and asked me who put my mum's false teeth in the bin🤣🤣 it was my sister.
BUT I was devastated because my dd had died 2 years before and she didn't mention her.
I planned to go back but covid put a stop to that.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't believe that someone who is no longer here is able to send messages. But I think if you are looking out for it and 'tuned in' then you won't miss the things around us that remind us of them -their favourite birds, flowers, scents etc. So maybe plant some favourite plants in your garden or find a place you know she loved that will bring her closer.

I think there are signs for you to remember that person.
Something will jog your memory, remind you of that person and if you are open to it you'll see this sign everywhere, could be a favorite animal, colour, textile, anything.
It's not a message though, but lovely to emember the person.

One thing's for certain. If there are signs, they do not come via people who charge you money to receive it.

Nobody knows this better than me. People should know that it's for entertainment purposes, and not to be taken seriously. People do believe though, just the same as Christians and other religions practice their belief. There are a few of us ethical ones out there, but we don't really tell the future.

My stepdad had a weird thing. Probably just a glitch in his phone but it gave him comfort nonetheless.

My mum passed away in 2018, she was in a hospice for two months before she died and in that time she joked with my stepdad that she'd let him know when she got to wherever she was going. She was Danish so we always joked she was going to Valhalla.

A week after her funeral my stepdad got a text notification (relevant - he does not have a smart phone, he has a Nokia brick which does not group conversations together in a long chain, but which keeps them separate like emails like old phones did.)

The text was from my mum, it was one that she had already sent him, over a year before, when she had last gone to visit her parents just before they both sadly passed away. It read "Arrived safe and sound, have found Mor and Far and we are going to get something to eat. Love you lots."

Somehow this old text had popped itself to the top of my stepdads text list and presented as a new text.

As I said, probably just a glitch but it certainly gave him (and me) a bit of comfort.

I think I have, watched TV one night, OP suddenly moved on the settee, made us all jump, and said "Fancy making us a cuppa tea?" and then rolled over, farted and then that was that.
Actually we get this sort of 'message' most evenings and we don't even have a Oujia board.

When my granddad died over 20yrs ago, I got a message from him a few days after he died. I wasn't close to him, hadn't seen him in over 10yrs nor spoken to him in that time. Knew barely anything about his life.

I was reading and had a strange thought /message that wasn't my own or anything to do with what I was reading. It was... Not green, not blue, not a tshirt not a shirt. Blue slippers and a tin of cat food still under kitchen sink for a year.
I mentioned this weirdness to my mum who phoned my granddad's wife (my step nan) a few days later about the funeral and mentioned this message to her. My step nan was shocked. She told my mum that he died in the bathroom and every morning would put his clothes for the day over the door after his shower. The clothes that day was a turquoise polo shirt and his blue slippers were on the floor. There was also a tin of cat food in the cupboard under the kitchen sink. Their cat had died a year before.

There's no way I would have known any of this. I can't explain it.

Wow! This is incredible!

I have chosen to believe that, often very random, coincidences are signs from loved ones as it gives me comfort others obviously don't and that is their choice. I too lost my mum last year so my heartfelt condolences to you.

I did ask my mum for a sign a couple of months afterwards (was watching ghost whisperer and thought why not) ten minutes later her phone rang, coincidence? Probably, but comforting too. Hope you get a sign or find peace if not.

We hear our deceased cat sometimes and I get dreams he’s running towards me. Last time I told him I know this is a dream because you haven’t moaned at me for picking you up.

I replied to you earlier and mentioned my Dad passed away. I did see a renowned Medium who said some very interesting things and facts no-one could know. I went with an open mind and am cautious but was also pleasantly surprised. I am of course sceptical about many Mediums too though, many con-artists!!

Over the years I’ve become more open to the spiritual side and possibilities, due to various unusual, personal experiences,
hearing of others experiences and even one that my Dd had when she was about 3-4yrs old (including describing a deceased person accurately, she saw them “looking after a family member”, a person who she would have definitely chosen to look after and even knew their correct name!) - a person we or no-one had definitely never spoken about in front of her and not a name she would have known to make up!

I think it’s nice to believe and offers comfort.
Sending you much love.

My uncle had a reading after my Nan died from someone that has no idea about our family.
Apparently my Nan said she was worried about my son and my cousin. I was a bit cautious about this until. My son was viciously attacked at school later that year and my cousin has been arrested 4 times since then due to drug and gang dealings.

I don't think anyone should be stating adamantly that the dead don't send messages. I mean, logically, we all know this on some level. That doesn't mean it needs to be thrust down someone else's throat who's clearly grieving.

I don't expect messages from my parents, having said that. But I 'am' my mum - we were so so similar and she's 'in' me and that's where she lives. Not in a weird creepy way I hasten to add

When I get caught up in a spiral of feeling sorry for myself and I'm mulling the whole mum dying thing over in my mind , and I'm wailing away all snottily, I suddenly hear her voice, as clear as anything, saying ' for god's sake! Stop that immediately, what on EARTH is the matter with you? Pull yourself together.' .... and it's SO her to say something like that. And I literally stop immediately and feel a bit of a knob. I certainly don't produce this voice (although I must do?) and it doesn't speak to me from a corner of the room or anything. The voice just says the words, it's my mums voice and well, you do what your mum says, right?

I have a child obsessed with death, can’t sleep some nights with worry. When he was 3 he was in my bed one night and said to me ‘why are they all still there in the corner’ and I asked who, he said all of them - all the people in the corner of the room (like a ceiling corner) , they are there every night, This happened 4 times at that age - I asked him, he said they weren’t unfriendly but they weren’t looking at us either. I’ve tried to put his mind at rest (he is 8 now) and on it goes. I am not religious. My husband is (not really) but he has managed to calm him using a religion. He knows me and his dad are different and he still tells me about the people. However when I showed him photos of his family he recognised my grandad immediatly as one of the people in the corner.

No-one knows. In science energy is neither created or destroyed; a basic rule of physics - it simply transfers from one form to the next. In old Ireland when a person died in a room, the window was opened straight away, to let the soul go free - the energy. Every family is connected on that same energy level. You’ll find her in your perception of life in small signs. Everybody on this thread only has their own perception and perception is the only reality individually.

My parent died 10 months apart ( this is 10 years ago). Dad first, Mum second.
My sister and I were at their house, our family home, about a week after Mum’s funeral, packing up some books that we were keeping.Both our parents were avid readers all their lives. It was a still day, no wind at all, and we’d shut the screen door carefully as we came in ( in Australia in Summer: flies). We were sitting on the floor packing when the screen door opened and slammed shut, really loudly. I just called out, “it’s ok, we’re just tidying up for you, everything’s fine.” It didn’t worry us at all, nothing else has ever happened like that.

I can't understand how people can be so arrogant as to know they are right when they say there is no afterlife.

I lost both my parents last month. After my dad died we came home and a clock which has sat on the sideboard for nearly 3 years was on the floor. Not only was it quite a way on the sideboard it just cannot topple on its own. Also if it had somehow toppled it would be close to the sideboard but it was across the room.

A few days later me and DH had been in and out of the garden a few times - feeding the birds, getting things out of the freezer in the shed, using the tumble dryer which is in the shed. Our electric meter cupboard is on an outside wall by the side of the kitchen door so you walk past it as you go into the garden. After numerous trips I went outside and the meter cupboard door was wide open with the door actually back flat against the wall.

I asked DH if he had opened it and he hadn't. I have never opened it in the 3 years we have lived in the house. In fact don't even know where the key is and DH has opened it once when we first moved in. It doesn't have to be read as we have a smart meter. If anyone came into the garden they would have to climb over a locked side gate which is 6ft tall or a locked back gate which is over 6ft tall.

About an hour before I discovered the open cupboard I had heard a bang or thud which I thought came from the kitchen. I looked but could not see anything. The cupboard is on an outside wall of the kitchen.

Even stranger the lock on the cupboard door was actually still locked so would have been unable to open.

Last week me and DH were sitting eating and there was a thud and the clock was no longer on the sideboard but about 3 foot away from it to the right. I had actually laid it flat as it would not tick standing up and also it was, again, pushed on quite far. There is absolutely no way it could fall by itself and it didn't fall as it was too far from its original place

I lost a very dear friend and then had this robin keep flying into the house for a few days in a row and I had to keep letting it out. All a bit odd I thought, googled it and learnt some thought they represented a dead persons spirit. I can't begin to tell you the peace that little bird brought me, I felt he was trying to tell me my deceased friend was all right and wanted me to know that and not be sad. I lost my mother in September, now I have a robin come and watch my whilst I'm gardening, I think that could be her keeping an eye on me (she liked gardening whereas I struggle with it)

Thanks for all of these amazing stories, they are all so interesting.

The thing is, after being a non believer, I actually changed my mind about 13 years ago, when my Mum went to a Spiritual event in a church hall. The Mediums there had no idea who they would speak to, as there were no appointments made, you just wandered around.

Anyway, she spoke to a Medium who said that she had a message for someone called XXXX. This being my name. I have a really unusual name, I have only met one or two other people with this name in my whole life!!

The message she gave my Mum for me, was so spot on regarding my life at that time, that it changed my mind completely about the afterlife etc. The Medium spoke about me moving house, and finding a good man. But at that time, I was married and my house was not for sale. My Mum said the Medium was wrong. What my Mum didn't know (yet) was that I was planning divorce proceedings and looking at houses on the internet, that very same night she got the reading. (And I did move and marry a good man!)

The Medium went on to say, that my Mum would come to own a guitar (Mum not musical whatsoever), and that after that she would win the lottery.

As you can imagine, my Mum just brushed all of this off.

About 2 years later, my parents were sitting in their garden, late at night (summer time), and a guitar came flying over their back fence, and landed on their lawn! Shortly thereafter, they won £20,000 on the lottery (back when you could win £20,000 for matching the colours & numbers).

I mean, how accurate was that Medium!!

The first time I heard our deceased cat it was 12 days after he died and I told dh who told me I was imagining it. 4 days later he heard it too.

He had the good grace to tell me.

My friend was murdered in his own garden..
Next day street was cordoned off and full of police.
That teatime 4 white doves landed in his lawn. Very moved tbh.
The night before I left that street my friend appeared in my bedroom. Fully clad in his biker leathers. Imo to say goodbye and that I needed to move on from his death.

OP that's very strange. Hearing things like this and some of the other stories makes me think there definitely has to be something. Like someone else said, maybe you will get something when you are ready for it. Sometimes in my mind I ask for a definite sign from her, but in a way I don't really mean it because it would terrify me and I'd run so maybe that's why she hasn't done anything.

Re the what’s app calls from 1969/1970, it’s a bug what’s app are fixing

Ah woo shattered!!

I’m really not sure I believe, but...

My dad used to love music and singing; he would constantly walk round the house singing to himself and sing whilst driving etc. He had two songs he would do this for, one was his favourite song of all time that we used in his funeral and another song that he would just sing the same one line from over and over.

The first Christmas after he died, my mum and I were trying to do some Christmas shopping and talking about how we hoped we’d done him proud and wondering how we’d get through Christmas without him. All of a sudden, a busker started singing his favourite song (from the 60s and not a particularly well-known one). The same happened when I moved into my first flat in a different city, I was walking through the city the day I moved in when a busker played that song.

Also, the first birthday I had after he died, I was shopping in a city and turned a corner onto the main road to hear a busker singing the same one line that he used to sing from the other song. On my mum’s birthday, we were driving in silence and I suddenly got the urge to turn the radio on and it was the same one line again.

Logically I guess you just look out for things more once someone passes and it’s more things that remind you of them... and I guess he just liked the same songs as buskers 😃

Before this though, I used to really stress myself out looking for signs. Be kind to yourself OP

I've had a few white feathers when I have needed them.
One from a cemetery, Two from a boardroom, one just from my bed.
