Afterlife / Spiritual Experiences

[carlyV8]

Looking for some comfort.

I lost my sister suddenly over a year ago and am really struggling with grief.

I am very spiritual and believe in life after death, but since she has passed my life has gone from bad to worse, I hate my job and home, and I’m constantly looking to move and change jobs but nothing, family members have also become unwell and I just need a break.

I did a lot for my sister when she was alive and some naive / stupid part of me thought that after her passing she would be my guardian angel and “make things work for me” like moving and a new job which hasn't happened. Probably sounds stupid I know.

Has anyone had any experiences with loved ones that have passed? I just want to know my sister has moved on and is happy so by reading your experiences it gives me hope she is in a better place. X

Sorry for the passing of your sister. It's a great shame.

When my mother died, I started to find white feathers everywhere I went.

I do believe in spirituality and souls, ghosts, residual spiritual energy.

From what I can gather about spirituality, it could be that your sister has crossed over permanently in to the spirit realm, which I am told is a happy, peaceful place. It tends to be the troubled souls that stay around and appear in front of pre-mortal beings.

Have you felt her presence since she passed?

Have you smelled any unique smells e.g. her favourite fragrance or favourite food, favourite flower etc?

I'm told it takes a LOT of energy for a spirit to come through to us and so many spirits send nice messages in more subtle ways, such as scents, feathers etc.

Sending you kind thoughts.

I am so very sorry to hear you have lost your sister. It sounds as though you were very close and her loss must be hard to bear. A year is no time at all and I am sure you are still grieving terribly.

My best friend died in her early 30s. Before she died she asked me if I would go to the place where her ashes were scattered and have one last glass of wine with her and a chat. I was too upset to do it at first, but a plucked up the courage to do it on her next birthday. I took a bottle of her favourite wine, poured her a glass and one for me, then sat on the beach.

There was nobody else around and the sea (where her ashes had been scattered) was empty and flat calm. I thought of her for about an hour and sipped my wine. When I'd finished I picked it up and took it to the water's edge, said a cheers to her and emptied her wine into the sea.

At that very moment a group of dolphins swam across right in front of me, leaping out of the water, playing in the surf back an forth, and then they were gone. It was astonishing.

I've told several people this and am not sure they believed me, but it is true. It helped me very much and I hope it helps you. Wishing you peace and happy memories of your sister. All will be well.

I did about 6 months after my brother took his life. I’m not keen to say this to too many people. I haven’t told my DH because he would dismiss it but anyway. I was laid in bed, feeling quite grief stricken, thinking what if he’s gone somewhere awful, what if he’s cold, alone. Those kind of thoughts. Then suddenly and very clearly I heard a voice say ‘I’m ok, please do not worry’. It was in my head but I knew it wasn’t my thought. I also knew the person saying it wasn’t alone. There were two ‘entities or presences’. The voice didn’t contain any anxiety in it, it was more composed than he had been. That was it, I just sat up and was a bit shocked. That was my experience.

I've had experiences where I've been stuck on a problem and the solution has been given to me by my late husband or by one of my parents (depending on the area of expertise.) Might just be my brain eventually figuring it out, but I'd like to think that they're looking out for me.

I also had one experience of being badly hurt in a hospital day procedure and hearing my husband checking on me [after I got home]. Might have been wishful thinking, of course.
