More of the WTAF what happened to us today?

[bumblebee50]

Okay so we were in a city today celebrating my twin sons' birthdays. My brother died just over a year ago and I was just talking about how sad I was. I had transferred money to one of my son's accounts last night and commented about how my brother's name was the first name of the account transfer list. This made me feel really sad. Anyway walking down the busy town main street 2 minutes after discussing this a man came up to me and said I had dropped £10 and gave it to me. All the money I had was in my purse in my bag and I hadn't dropped anything. My husband and sons had only had £20 notes. Is this not weird?

If it was a busy area he probably just miss saw and thought it came from you?

At first I said to him that I was very grateful and he was being very honest - maybe I stole someone else's money?

Are you looking for a practical answer to this, or are you thinking there is a psychic connection to this? No judgement just interested!

And I mean psychic as in you were talking about your brother and then the £10 got handed to you?

So he saw a £10 and wrongly assumed you dropped it.

Weird why? What’s the connection between talking about your brother and a man handing you money?

Say what now? I'm confused. How does your brother come into this?

Sorry to hear about your brother

I think the man was being honest but made a mistake about who dropped the money x

I know it was probably a weird coincidence but my brother always gave my sons £10 each in a card and i was feeling really sad about it - he was only 51 when he died and I always miss him on these occasions. I know it's a coincidence but it kind of gave me comfort.

It’s not remotely weird. You didn’t drop it; but he wrongly assumed you had. And rather than tell him it wasn’t yours, you’re choosing to think your brother sent it to you from the Other Side.
He didn’t. You nicked it.

You know what OP, if it gives your comfort then that's all that matters

But I don't think you should have started this thread, as it will probably put a downer, on that little comforting feeling you have, because people are not going to lie and pretend it's weird, when it's not.

I still don’t really get what’s weird, but I’m sorry to hear about your brother . I lost mine when he was 27, it’s hard.

Maybe I did nick it but at the time I was so confused thinking maybe I had dropped it but when I thought about it more I wondered how that would have been possible and out of the four of us why he handed it to me.

Awe, I can see why it's a nice thought that it was connected to your DB

To be fair it doesn't matter what anyone says - days like these are always now a downer of sorts - it's been just over a year but I still think about him every day - I just don't really mention it to anyone - everyone thinks I should be over it I think - which isn't entirely realistic I think!

No-one should think you should be over it.
I do think you should celebrate your twins birthday and not allow your brothers death to overshadow it.
He would not have wanted that surely?
Celebrate his life with your lovely twins

Condolences on the loss of your brother. Maybe the tenner was a sign that he is still with you? Maybe not. You will never get over your grief but it does become manageable, easier, in time. Look after yourself.

it didn't overshadow our day - I hardly ever say anything - the funny thing was we had just been in an out of the way pub that had a tent in the alleyway up to it with a psychic in it and i mentioned that I would like to go in and try and connect with my DB but that's as far as it went - I wasn't serious and 60 seconds later the guy hands me the money!

I live in a community that looks for and gets comfort from these types of situations in grief.

I don't think you stole the money, it was just a misunderstanding and a man gave you £10, no more no less.

I am sorry about the death of your brother.
