Anyone had any 'odd' experiences after loosing a loved one?

[Disenchanted3]

My mum, Uncle and Aunt did just after my grandad passed.

They found it very comforting and took it as him telling them he was alright.

Part of me would like him to let me know too (but part of me def doesn't!)

Since my mil died I find on average about 40p a week in 5ps we find them in bed-in cereal-in our shoes everywhere.

like what??

my mum keeps finding little silver stars round her house since my little brother died. she takes it as a sign he's happy x

I kept seeing dragonflies everywhere after my dad died. Live ones, dead ones, jewellery ones or even paintings on scarves or cups etc He loved wildlife and I take it as a sign he's still looking over us

After my Nanny died I my mother and I kept getting hugely strong wafts of lily fragrance when we had no lilies in the house. Made me feel a lot better!!

Dad died very recently and the day after he died DD and I came into the house to find her wind-up musical box playing. Instead of freaking, as I normally would, I felt very safe and comforted.

My sister's mobile phone sent my brother and my neice the same photo of my parents about half a dozen times each in the middle of the night - they have not appeared on her bill as messages sent.

The night Mum died one of my sisters, who lives abroad, woke to see a figure she is sure was Dad (he'd been gone a couple of weeks at the time) standing in her bedroom.

Since Mum died - nothing. She obviously felt that Dad had said all there was to be said.

Awww LG

My Dad died when I was 10.5, a week later, I woke up and he was at the bottom of my bed. He said "Im so sorry, I love you"
I reached out to him and he shook his head, said "sorry" again, and faded away.

Ive never been sure if I was dreaming or if he was there.

Betty, how did that make you feel?

When one of my grandad's died, I had a really vivid dream about him. My whole family were in a place he used to work, and he was there too; unfortunately in my dream I was the only one who could see him, and no one else believed me.

I lost my beautiful girl nearly 3 years ago. The week of her first anniversary I found I was pg with my DS3. It was a really hard time although I was desperate to get pg and he was wanted. It was all a bit emotional.

Anyway back to the point. When DS3 was born I kept finding little bits of glitter in his hair (he was born with loads). Everyday he would have a teeny bit in his hair. I would keep forgeting about it and then finding more. It went on for ages and I still find it sometimes now.

I dont have glittery tops (ick) and I dont wear glittery eyemakeup (specially after giving birth). I think its his big sis sending down a bit of glitter to her little bro. I KNOW it sounds all corny and mawkish and icy but I DONT CARE its my story and I am sticking to it.

Thats lovely chegirl

DHs grandad died and we have a photo of him on the fireplace, i found a tiny shiny star and put it on his photo.

The other day there was another identical star on my buggy hood so I got that to put on my grandads photo!

Unfortunatly DH cleaned the bloody fireplace and the stars are gone when he put the photos away to clean, but I have a feeling they will show up

naughtalessnickerless, I found it reaaly comforting and I wanted him to 'come back' to prove he was really there.
There are some lovely stories here.

There are some lovely stories on here. I hear them a lot from my friends who have lost their kids. It brings such comfort.

My DD saw butterflies shortly before she died. She left me with this beautiful image and now whenever I see a butterfly I see her. They are everywhere! On clothes, jewelery, pictures and the real ones of course.

I am sure that the stars will turn up again Dis.

DISENCHANTED3, what happened to your mum, uncle and aunt after your grandad passed away? What was their odd experiance?

Since I lost Rosie I keep seeing butterflies - both real ones and butterflies on thing and people frequently give me butterfly cards without knowing. I know its very likely its a coincidence and I am just noticing them more but its nice to think its a wee sign.

when my Nanna died suddenly from a massive heart attack, a few days later I had a very vivid dream that we were all together in her living room and she was telling us that she was ok now, and it hadn't been that bad but she had to go and trying to explain what it was like - I discovered that my bro had had an almost identical dream (don't know which day) and my Mum and sis had also had dreams in which she spoke to them.

Nothing when my Grandad died but some odd dreams when my Mum died - I dreamt one night that she was still alive but very sick and I was helping her with decisions on how to get better - then woke up and remembered. I guess that's normal though, not weird.

Some lovely things on this thread...

my dd2 was robbed of her handbag in leeds ,all gone including mobilephone full of photos,reported to police and mobile blocked.next night our grandson died of cot death,we were gutted even more so because photos were lost.
two nights later i woke up ,dh white and pacing round our room,his mobile had gone off at 3am and asked to accept bluetooth message from dd2,he accepted and photos of our grandson came through, he then remembered dd2 no longer had phone as waiting for replacement,it realy scared him as he didnt believe in afterlife.
dh does not it brought alot of happiness to me.

some lovely stories on here.
My big sister passed away in late 2004. She had been on at me to have a baby for a few years, and I got pregnant in early 2006.
I was walking my dog early in the pregnancy, when I heard my sister's voice say 'I'll help you with this baby'.
I rang my mum when I got home, and she had just walked her dog and said she heard my sister's voice say 'Are you there, Mum, it's me.'
Maybe it was all in our minds, but it was comforting nonetheless.

This is 100% true

A boy at my sons school died in a tragic road accident and since then Ive been really on edge with regrds to teens and road safety.

A few months ago ds1 and 2 aged 15 and 13 went to the barbers-dh and I were in the kitchen we both heard the boys talking saying 'watch out' -this panicked us as clearly they werent at home for us to hear.

Dh rang them to check they were safe-they were.

When they got in they admitted just as dh foned them they were arguing amongst themselves as to whether they should rush across the busy by-pass or walk further down to the crossing.

Some lovely stories here which I'm finding very comforting. I'd love more signs from my Mum and Dad. I miss them so much that it'd be great to know that they are still around.

My mother's DP [not my father] did not get on with his mother.
They had an framed embroidery of hers hanging in their kitchen.
DP was killed in a car crash.
Several days later my mum was discussing how involved DP's mother should be in the funeral arrangements when the framed picture fell off the wall and smashed on the floor.
My mum not surprisingly took this as a sign.

My pops heating turned off at a switch behind the boiler, where it couldnt have just been knocked, when my nan died, also the morning she died, before we found out, the tele turned itself off, and didn't do it again after.

When my neighbours DH passed on the clock he loved so much in the back room stopped working, even after many attempts to get it going again.

my grandad hated having wet washing drying in the house.after he died my nan moved house and my uncle bought their house.my aunt hung some wet bath towels over the bannister at the top of the stairs.she went out and when she returned the towels were on the floor.
my grandad also didn't like giving people gift vouchers for a present.after my nan moved she bought a voucher for a present for a friend.she put it in the drawer in her kitchen but it disappeared she never did find it.
