Robins and other signs

[WalkingToWorkToday]

My lovely Dad died 6 weeks ago. He was elderly and unwell so it wasn’t entirely unexpected but I think about him all the time and it’s all still very raw. I struggle to know where he is now. I know “he” wasn’t there when I saw him at the funeral directors but people say that in time I will feel his presence.

When I went to his grave last week, I asked him to give me a sign that he was with me. I don’t know what I was excepting - I guess a white feather or an overwhelming feeling of love - but there was nothing.

But yesterday when I was walking, I heard a bird tweet and a little robin ran along the fence next to me for a few seconds. I blew him a kiss and he flew off.

At the time I thought, “that was my sign” but it was probably coincidence. I want to believe Dad is in a better place. I feel so deep in grief that I don’t know what I believe anymore.

Does anyone else feel like this?

In Recent years, A robin has seemed to symbolise someone who has passed away. I’m not sure when this association started. I was never aware of it in the past.

Sorry to hear of your loss. My mum is sure that Ronins mean that my gran is nearby. It brings her comfort. My husband is convinced that his dad visits him in his dreams and wakes up feeling happy.

Im really sorry for your loss. I understand when you say you think about your lovely dad all the time because my own dad died just over two weeks ago and I’m the same.
I also have this deep need to know where he is and I’ve even asked him out loud.
I have been watching near death experiences on YouTube and they have brought me a lot of comfort.
Ive always believed that an afterlife is no more far-fetched than life on this planet and I will always choose to believe that.
Just because we can’t see something, it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
My thoughts are with you.

It’s often a feeling more than anything, or spiritual perhaps. I don’t know if I believe in robins or feathers - DM does.

As a child she overheard me having a conversation with someone, when she asked me I said it was an old lady but I couldn’t tell her anything else (just carried on playing). She’s convinced it was her late DM and it brought her comfort.

Sorry for your loss 🌷 it will get better with time when the good memories seem to shut out the bad.

Signs are where we see them. I saw an extraordinary amount of rainbows shortly after a bereavement and I liked to think that was them, but of course everyone would have seen them too, and who knows what special significance they put on them too.

Thank you all for your replies and I’m sorry for your losses too xx It’s very easy to think I am the only person feeling this way but, of course, I’m not.

As you say Pinkpromise,Just because we can’t see something, it doesn’t mean it’s not there. That gives me comfort❤️

Bettyboobles, my friend also believes that her parents visit her in dreams. Sadly, I’ve only dreamed about my Dad once and he was still poorly Dad. I hope in time that will change.
