Weird things happening around death

New username because this is specific.

my lovely mum died very suddenly this morning. It’s a huge shock. I couldn’t get there in time and am hundreds of miles away.

but. I lost a glove a few weeks ago. I was really annoyed about it and retraced my steps. Today, I took a route I don’t use that often, looked down and saw my glove in the gutter of the road. I’m sure this is coincidence but it’s very strange. What are the odds?!

Regale me with your unexpected tales please.

I never wanted children. My mum wanted me to have children. A month after she died I found out I was pregnant. When DS was born he had the exact same ocean blue eyes as my mum and my and DH have dark eyes. Now I have three children and I ADORE being a mum. She was so right, I was born to be a mum.

I'm very sorry for your loss, op. May your mum be at peace and always watch over you ❤️

Not quite the same but I went into tk maxx for a dark coat for my mum's funeral. She loved a bargain. I found an icebreaker (nice merino wool) fleece and it didn't have a label on. It would usually be about £80 there but they gave it to me for 19.99 and it did feel a bit like she'd had a hand in it.

I love these stories. Thank you.

None of us thought she would die. And she was so adamant yesterday that she would be going home today, though we all knew that she was still a way off that. I guess that depends on your definition of ‘home’ …

Sorry for your loss OP

Just after my father died a pigeon came down the chimney, sat on the dining room table and was unusually calm then left out the window.
DF hated pigeons and spent most of his last few years complaining about them and shooing them out of his garden.

I am so sorry for your loss, OP, big hugs.

My little sister has recently died after a really awful, sudden battle with cancer. She died late at night but my parents didn’t tell me until the morning. That night I dreamed that I was going to visit her (and dreading it, as she was so very ill) but when I went in to see her she seemed really peaceful and content. She wasn’t at her home but in the bed in the spare room at my Grandma’s that we used to sleep in as kids (Grandma died several years ago).

When I had that dream she had already died, I just didn’t know it yet. I don’t believe in ‘woo’ but that did make me feel very strange and still does.

When my dad dies I was going through som old photos for the funeral/wake and found £50 note in the box. 🤣

I'm very sorry to hear about your mum. May her memory be a blessing. Sudden death is very shocking and you will be a long time processing it before you can even start to grieve (my father died in such circumstances 17 years ago) I'm glad you felt your mum's spirit near you today.
My late mother gave me gold earrings years ago as a gift. I misplaced one of them and after a search all over my bedside locker and bedroom etc, I resigned myself to the loss.
Months later, my beloved very elderly Labrador was struggling badly (we'd had a few episodes )and I called the out of hours vet on a Sunday morning to come and put him to sleep. While awaiting the vet, I had a crisis about whether it was really doggie's time or not. I opened the cutlery drawer (which is in daily use) to find a spoon to make coffee and nestled in the teaspoons was the missing gold earring. For me, it was a clear message from my dog loving mother to send the Labrador to her as she was waiting for him. It gave me comfort on a very difficult day.

Sorry to hear about your mum.

My MIL had a three letter name (not common). When she died we saw car registration letter combos of her name for about a week.

I truly believe in the week or so after death, there are signs from them to you. And I’m not woo at all.

Thank you for the kind wishes. This is totally not how I expected it to be. I’m not ready.

When my cat died (the best cat ever, my little buddy who I still miss every day) a few days later I looked out of the patio door and the seat cover was folded making a shadow in the shape of his silhouette in the exact spot he used to sit to wait for me to open the door. Then the wind blew and it was gone

My grandmother died when I was a teenager. Not long after, my mum was clearing her house and I took one of her paintings and put it on the wall in my room. After that I had a few nights of horrendous nightmares. Then on the third night, I had a dream that my grandmother had to go on some kind of dangerous journey. I was hugging her and telling her I loved her, etc. After that the nightmares went away.

Synchronicity ❤️ I really believe in it.

Take comfort from it. I am so sorry for your loss xxx

🙄 I’m so sorry that my mother appears to be following some kind of trend

I've told this one before on MN ( and got shredded but here goes )
When my Dad died , we (DH and I ) were at his house for the funeral.#On the last night before his cremation in my house our cameras picked up orbs .
There was nothing on the camera to activate it , no street lights or car lights . My DC were fast asleep.
I think my Dad was saying "Bye" while he still had an Earth Body .

We had gone to see Derek Acorah a few years before (on tour not a 1:1) , he said your loved ones will send you a sign .

She really really did too. I could not believe seeing that glove there.

I am sorry about the loss of your Mum :( My Grandad died quite a lot of years ago, and my Mum, his daughter had a Peace Lily in the house. On the day he died the Peace Lily started dripping liquid from the leaves, I presume sap or something, but it really looked like it was crying. Very strange, but brought me a kind of comfort.

Sorry op posted on the wrong thread i will get it removed.💐

My mum died after a long cancer battle. Towards the end she couldn't eat alot. Found sucking sweets therapeutic. Werthers original were the sweets she preferred.
A week after she died we saw two on a path when out for a walk. Very random.

I’m loving your stories. Thank you

I was abroad competing at an athletics meet the day my mother died. I’d had a phone call in the morning to tell me my mother was unwell, but there was nothing to indicate she was about to pass away.
During my warm up for the race I could hear my mother’s voice saying things to encourage me, she told me I could win. The race began and all the way I could hear her saying I could do it. I ran the race of my life, I won, and I broke the record.
As soon as I got off the track I was told to phone home. My mother had passed away 15 minutes before I started that race.

Oh wow. I have goosebumps reading this

My Dad used to collect elastic bands as he always used to say they would be useful. I still find elastic bands in random places - usually on the hall floor in front of the door when I come in from work. There’s no explanation for how they get there.

When my Mum died I used to pop into her empty house to clean it and make it look a bit lived in. For several visits it felt as if she was still there, and I could sense her presence. Then one day the house just felt cold and empty and as if she had gone wherever she was going to.

My grandparents died years ago and were buried in the same grave. Whilst visiting the area with DH, we went to the cemetery and spent some time tidying their grave and putting flowers on it.

When we went to leave, DH's (fairly new and reliable) car twice refused to start; the first and only time it ever had a starting problem.
