Reincarnation

This may sound strange and I know there is no scientific facts surrounding reincarnation its purely what you believe but my baby was due 10/07/24 and my grandmother who I was extremely close with passed away very suddenly in hospital on the 20th June, I believe due to the stress of it all it caused me to go into early labour and my baby came 4 days after she passed on 24th June, at first I found myself feeling like she had sent him early to help me deal with her passing but as time has went on and my baby has began showing their personality, there is so many similarities between them and I often find myself wondering (possibly just my crazy mind trying to process the grief) but is there anyway of reincarnation 4 days after death? Could it be possible she was reincarnated into my child..

Sorry if this sounds crazy

What sort of similarities are you seeing OP?

Blondee99 · 15/12/2024 15:31

Mostly their temperament, my granny was such a calm happy always smiling woman and I just see my son so like her, she had blue eyes and everyone else in my family have brown or hazel including the baby's father and his side but my baby has blue eyes

I fully believe in the possibility of reincarnation. Truth is stranger than fiction as they say.

Really fascinating stuff

If you think it gives you comfort, believe whatever you like.

I believe that when you’re dead, that’s it. There’s absolutely nothing else. Nothing could convince me otherwise. But I also think it might be nice to have other beliefs.

I’m sorry for your loss, but reincarnation makes very little sense. There are billions more people in the world now. And what would be the point? If you can’t remember the learning from your prior lives, how is that useful? What you are seeing is genetics. And epigenetics. I hope you find a way through your grief to happy memories of your granny.

Sometimes the best way to deal with grief is having a strong belief in something (religious or not).
My niece was born 6 weeks after my son passed away and although I didn't think she was a reincarnation, she certainly helped me to cope through those early months.
She now looks more like me than she does her mom (my sister). She even gets called by my name instead of her own sometimes.
However, I believe that there is certainly something after death, I am not religious but the idea of my son being nowhere after 21 years without him, is absolutely heartbreaking.
Whatever helps you to deal with your emotions, whatever belief you have, is yours and it doesn't matter if people believe in reincarnation or not. If you believe it, continue to believe and allow it to help you to heal.

Science is finding out some very odd things about consciousness. Maybe we are all reincarnated. Perhaps we all hang about as bodyless consciousness until we enter another body. It's not so far-fetched when you consider the other mysteries of the universe. How can space be infinite? How can there not be an end? It doesn't seem possible, but it is. Our observable universe was once the size of a peach, according to NASA and other reputable resources. That's much weirder than reincarnation. I think it's absolutely possible that your new baby is your departed grandmother's consciousness/sou/spirit, whatever you want to call it.
