Have you ever seen the spirit of a loved one that has passed over or felt their presence

Just that really.

I find it so interesting, i believe but just like to hear from people who have actually seen or felt their presence

At my mums funeral I felt a strong presence/energy around me, I looked around to see if anyone was reacting to feeling it too, but no reaction. I like to think it was my mum. Many years later my brother told me he had seen our Mum standing at the bottom of his bed.

Never. But my mom (biggest skeptic in the world) saw my deceased dad walking into her bedroom and followed by two shadows. She was fully awake when it happened and it was traumatic for her. Not only the shock of seeing that but also the lack of support from family and friends when she shared the experience with them. It must be awful to see something like that and to have nobody to talk to.

I'm convinced I had a conversation with my Mum two days after she died. It all happened in my head not out loud and I know many would say it was just the imagination of a grieving daughter but I believe it was real. It happened as I was standing at the sink washing up, a task we often did together when we would share what was on our minds so it felt both very normal and extraordinary at the same time. During the conversation she told me that she would now watch over my adult son who has special needs when I couldn't. It was a huge comfort to me.

When my mum died (she was a devout Catholic - I'm lapsed), I remember thinking that if there was an afterlife I would definitely feel her presence. And I felt nothing; never even a smidgeon). But then I found that I felt her at strange times and not in the way I expected. For example, she was a keen gardener (me not so much) but I found that I started to get interested in gardening and, when I was in the garden, I was full of memories. And not just memories of events and things she did, but memories of emotions I felt with her when she walked me round her garden. Comforting, joyful emotions

I still don't believe in the afterlife, but I do believe that people live on in the people that loved them.
