Strange events since my mum died

[FatAgain]

Just want to preface this by saying I am a complete cynic, a total atheist and having see my mums body I am absolutely under no illusions.

but something odd just happened.

I was having a crafty nap and I woke up because somebody has just been in to check on me and as they left, the door closed softly. It was definitely open when I went for a read.

it wasn’t my husband and son - they were gardening and haven’t been in the house.

it’s so comforting….. yet….. I don’t believe in this sort of thing. But somebody definitely came to check on me.

At the same time a blackbird who always appears when I’m upset outside was, according to my husband, hopping along the bedroom window sill. In fact he had taken a photo to show me and it’s time stamped as the same time I woke up.

the door was closed properly and it didn’t swing shut, no breeze, nothing.

odd?

DM died 4 weeks ago and I get the occasional whiff of her favourite perfume around my house.
I don't wear perfume at all.

Sorry for everyone's loss. Hugs @NewUserName2023

I used to smell my dad for years after he died too

I lost a pregnancy at 20 weeks a week before Christmas. The babies cremation was two days after Christmas. Only dh and I attended as per my wishes. It was howling as we parked and walked upto the crematorium. The rain was pounding off the ground. As soon as we left after the short service as soon as we stepped out the door the rain stopped and the sun started coming through the clouds. It was one of those bright after the storm moments when the sun beams look beautiful breaking through the clouds.
The night I had lost the baby dh and I had left the hospital heartbroken, my arms actually physically ached, it was like a instinctive reaction to having delivered a baby but having nothing to hold. We sat in the car park at around 1am in silence for a few minutes unable to move or talk. It suddenly started snowing that really pretty way with big fat flakes swirling the car.
Obviously people living near us would have experienced these things as well without having gone though what we just did but it was a comfort to me at that time that these things happened.
