Lovely experience at the graveyard today

[sh77]

Hi

I went to lay down flowers and pray for my daughter at her grave today. I cried as I prayed as I miss her so very much. As I prayed, a robin came and perched itself on the thinnest of branches planted in the grave that was very near my daughter's. It stayed there for about 6-8 seconds (seemed like a long time when I was there) and flew off.

I would love to think that it was a sign that my daughter knew I was praying for her. I know she knows I pray for her but today's experince was really beautiful (may have been coincidence).

Just wanted to share.

Never could have imagined that I would be visiting my child's grave in my lifetime.

Whether or not it was a coincidence, it brought comfort to you, and that is lovely - hang onto that if you can. So sorry to hear about your daughter.

Hello sh77,

this is a beautiful experience and I am sure that the sprit of your daughter is there with you when you pray and talk to her. Because she is a part of you, you carry her with you wherever you go and a song you may hear or a memory that comes back will make you feel close to her again.

I am sorry you have lost your daughter, it must be so hard for you. Have you been to the bereaved threads on MN and spoken about her? There are others who can give you support and who will understand what you are going through. x

(((((((((()))))))))))
robins are sometimes 'seen' as being an earthly visitor to represent our otherworldly relatives - i haven't explained myself very well so i hope that makes sense?xx

Ah, sorry to hear you have lost your daughter , but hold onto that comfort, its a lovely thought. I love 'finding' feathers every now and then, when I'm not even thinking about my little girl in particular...it does give comfort. I know there is hope one day that we will meet again, God willing... that makes me happy too x

Thank you so much for the lovely replies. I haven't been on here for a while and the responses brought tears to my eyes. Yes, Beanie, we will meet our girls one day. It is the only thing that keeps me going and gives me hope. xx

hi stumbled across this really and felt i had to comment. I lost my sister to cancer and my mum did not cope very well at all. My sister had only just turned 30 and it was all too much for my mum until she had the most vivid dream. I will cut it short but it involved my dd and my sister in my house and my mum described it as a kids party and my sister was sitting with us at the party and my mum could not believe she was there. She said she asked my sister how she was and how did she get here but she started to move out the room and up the stairs. My mum chased after her but at the top of the stairs my dd who was only 2 at the time was palying about and looked likely to fall. Now my mum could see my sister was walking into a room but she wanted to help my dd who was going to fall down the stairs. She thought she would quickly save my dd and then chase after my sister but by the time she entered the room she was gone.

My mum visited a spiritulist who asked if she had a dream about the above and my mum could not believe it. The message was strong for my mum that she has others that need her love and that she should be strong and continue with her life.

I so believe in after life tooo many things to tellyou but i wish you well and may i say robins are adorable and i strongly feel that was a little message for you. Take care xxx

Basl thanks so much for sharing this. I am so sorry for the loss of your sister.

It is a very moving dream and one that will probably never leave your mum. I had 2 amazing dreams shortly after my daughter died. I (my soul, spirit) visited her, wherever she was. I prayed so much for these dreams. I still do. But I was in my deepest grief then and those dreams gave me incredible comfort. I really hope your mum and you see your darling sister again.

I had another experience (happened twice actually). My hubby and I were talking about our daughter, and a ladybird came to us. The first time, I didn't think too much of it as it was summer and many ladybirds around. But, the second incident happened 3 days ago in our central London flat. Hardly ladybird season and we have no plants.

Maybe I look into things too much but I like to think she knows we exist and talk about her and miss her incredibly.

Basl - I really would love hear about your other experiences.

Sh77 you are most welcome, it is a pain nobody can understand until it happens to you. I miss my sister so much she was the youngest of three and has left behind two lovely sons 11 and 9. I can not begin to think what it must be like for a mother to lose a child and i think that bond is by far the strongest. My mum grieves alot in private as she recently read the Gloria Huniford book and said she found comfort in that gloria felt she was going mad because she still felt so bad and everyone else moved on. We explained to my mum that if you break down all the time we just would not be able to function and my older sister and i have young children to look after.

I have always when to clairvoyants over the years as i strongly believe in it. I lost a boyfriend years ago before i was married. he died in during a car crash. I have had many messages from him infact everytime i have gone he comes to me. To cut a long story short, not long after my sister died i went for a reading and the lady described me as having two sisters but one of them lives very far away. She kept coming back to that and the finally said oh i know she has passed over. She described my sisters illness and that my sister was in shock as she was felt she was too young to die. She said it was a bit too early for my sitster to give strong messages as she was healing. She told me she had two boys and a husband. She also assured me not to worry as she was with an old friend of mine Simon. This was the name of the boyfriend that died. Concrete evidence if you ask me but i know everyone thinks differently.

My mum feels she gets a strong sence of smell of perfume now and again and nobody else can smell it and also she feels she comes to her in her dreams when she is at her lowest.
I wish you some comfort in what i have said and so sorry about the spelling i am not very good at this but felt i had to let you know. I do understand and hope this helped. Take care.

Basl thanks so much for sharing. What you wrote is comforting. You sound like a wonderful person and someone who has been through so much. I went to see a psychic 15 years ago and she kept asking me if i lost a baby and i kept saying no. She then asked if my mum did (she hadn't) and then asked if I nearly died as a baby. I didn't. Maybe she was picking up the loss of a child to come.

I did have a couple of dreams before my daughter was born that she wouldn't be with me for long. same when I miscarried. I hope I have some nice dreams that I will have another child. If not, I have one waiting for me.

This month, things really changed in a good way for my husband and I after so much heartache in the past 12 months. Really strange - we both got new jobs back in London, new flat, new car, I handed in my thesis. Also, spiritually, I feel like something heavy has left me.

Sorry if if it doesn't make sense. Just needed to write it down.

Sh77 may i ask how old your daughter was when she died? I am glad to hear you do sound like a very possitive person and inteligent. I am such a bad writer hope you are not distracted too much with the awfull spelling.
I am finding it is good to write things down and i get alot of support from mums net on various issues. Today i took the children down to my local park and became very sad as my sister lived in house looking on to the park. My children and i sat on a bench with some snacks and i had tears streaming down as i could feel the most awfull pain in my heart because i knew i could never pop into see her anymore and it hurt so much. I talked to some friends i have made on mums net about that and it really does help. A colleague from work is passing a book about angels onto my mum as it is all about dreams etc. I will get the details and pass them on to you.
Hope you have a good nights sleep and it has been a pleasure chatting with you xx

Just want to say sorry if i ofended you with my last question. I did not intend to be so personal. Hope you are ok
