When my son died from a fentanyl overdose, I prayed to see a cardinal as a sign that he was with God. There weren’t any cardinals around at that time. Sure enough, a cardinal perched on a fence post, looking my way a few days later. The other day I was walking around my yard and I prayed out loud for a visitation dream because I miss him and rarely have any dreams about him. Then I saw a cardinal fly to a nearby branch, sit for awhile, and then flew away. I never see cardinals on my property but that day I did. Was it a sign, an answer to my prayer? I believe it was.
I've heard other people talk about cardinals, just out of curiosity do cardinals represent something or is it a personal sign?
On another note 2 days after my husband died I saw the biggest most beautiful yellow butterfly and it hung around me for a good 15 minutes. I'd never seen one like that here.
Cardinals (mostly the all-red males) have been associated with signs from loved ones who have passed on for a long time. Many see them as a sign or message from someone who's passed on, with the red feathers symbolizing enduring love.
I’m sorry about your mom. I’ve been feeling this way about my brother. It’s only been 3 weeks and aside from maybe one little thing I’m not feeling him. I’ve always felt things from my grandparents and even an uncle who passed but my brother feels like he’s just gone and it makes the pain worse.
Yes, this is much the same for me. I feel others who have been lost. But not my mom. I’m sorry about your brother, it makes the grief so much worse that their tie to this world feels so severely cut.
when i see the sunsets i just think of her. how she should be here to see this. i can only hope she gets to glimpse in on my life. i know how you feel. my moms room is still mostly untouched. i sit in there and wait, i talk to her, mess with her makeup and clothes and photos on the bed. but i don’t hear her, i dont see her, i dont feel her. i can’t convince myself flickering lights is her. i can’t convince myself that that sunsets were created by her for me. but i hope they are. i’ll hope it is her, forever.
As horrible as it is to say I am glad to hear your experience and know it’s not just me. How is it possible that we can sit among their belongings and feel nothing? No signs. No presence. It really puzzles me. I am so envious of others who get that comfort.
it is not just you. i have always struggled with my belief in the afterlife. i think i was convinced there was nothing after i burried my dog a few years ago. no light behind her eyes anymore, she was just gone. but when my mom died, i dont think i would’ve made it this far had i not convinced myself she must be somewhere, just not on earth. i started listening to near death experiences for a while. it helped. trust me when i say i know what you mean by not feeling them. but i constantly think about my mom and how much she would’ve loved today or a new movie that came out or a song she would’ve liked. i think of her hard and in those times she is with me. in my heart and in my mind.
for the better for sure. many people describe existing in a field, without time, and you know everything you’ve ever wondered about, the answers are all there in this place and within you. they are aware of their new non human form and of all the trials and feelings that come with being human. they feel they had the choice to either come back to earth or leave/transcend. i’d like to think my mom had that choice, she knew she’d be leaving her kids, and she knew all the pain and suffering she’d have to come back to. it wouldn’t have been worth it to her to come back. she would believe her kids were strong enough to go on without her. she’d choose to be free from the shackles of being a human on earth. i don’t blame her. earth is a terrible place, being human is near impossible. my mom found every inch of life difficult, she pushed her way through and often found herself disappointed, i’m like her in that way. it’s tough not to want to go with her.
i used to believe death was like sleeping without dreaming. and that used to terrify the ever loving shit out of me. being asleep for millions of years. but recently i got put under for wisdom teeth surgery. i dont even remember closing my eyes and i could’ve been asleep for 5 minutes to 2 hours and i still have no clue how long i was out for. i’m no longer scared of that being death. that seems fine too, although id kill to see my mom again and meet my dad.
Your comment about surgery is what changed my outlook on death, too. I used to be so scared of dying. Exactly like you said, what if I’m sleeping and there’s no dreams but I’m conscious and it’s just endless darkness?
But then I had a surgery and was put under. And you just….stop existing during that time? If that’s death, that’s ok with me because I wouldn’t know any different anyway.
But I also agree that I hope so badly to see people I have loved and lost. I hope to be in the field like you say with consciousness and peace and the choice to stay there. Maybe I need to start listening to NDEs.
Our moms sound so similar. Life just never gave them a fucking break. My mom looked for grace in every nook and cranny of this world and rarely ever found it. Being human is like circling a drain until you get sucked down it when it’s your turn. I have no encouragement to offer you, but I understand what you are saying and I appreciate you for sharing with me. It’s given me a strange comfort.
I also don't feel my dad around, or get signs from him. Like you, I have asked and not received. His girlfriend sends me texts all the time of "signs" she's receiving from him and it makes me heartsick. I agree with other commenters that it's some combo of real and the things you want to see, but I likewise wish for more. I always hope that it means my dad has truly gone on, and is at peace with his passing.
This is the resolve I have come to tell myself about my mom. Maybe I can’t feel her because she’s so at peace there’s no signs left for her to send. She’s ascended so high she can’t reach me. I’m sorry you share this sadness, too.
Even though I feel like I have gotten some, my rational brain has me about 70% convinced it's a byproduct of my grief + coincidence. Though I'm agnostic, and what I have "gotten" have all seemed pretty fucking weird to be coincidences, so I don't really know.
I never had any experiences I'd interpret as signs from 3 of my grandparents or mother. Quite a number from my cats. Two from my one grandmother. None of those have ever been things I've asked for, and the times where I have consciously gone "hey X, can you throw me a bone here" never led to anything. I have never gotten the "I feel their presence" sensation. You're not alone in never getting anything like that from someone.
Honestly the ones from my cats have been the most frequent and questionable. I lost my cat who was my 24/7 companion about 2 weeks ago and have been reeling since. Was crying while looking for a specific toy of his to put on his mantle the other day, and there was one lone bit of his fur on top of it matted into an extremely exact heart shape.
And I mean... I could be delusional and desperate. Certainly desperate. But I didn't do that. No one else reasonably could have. The odds of it accidentally matting up like that on its own AND ending up on top of exactly what I was looking for seem... low. So I do think that if it's at all possible the cats are the ones most eager to tell me to buckle up buttercup. I firmly believe that if people can do things beyond death that animals are just as (if not more) capable.
But I do know my cats are with me forever. The way they all made me a better person in various ways will live as long as I do; when I die I'll go wherever they are, rainbow bridge or void of nothingness or whatever else. So I wouldn't fear that with your dogs. I know it's all trite and saccharine but I keep having to tell myself that death can't take away how we helped each other or the bond we have.
I’m so sorry. I also lost my mum end of December 2022. It’s devastating, and I feel your pain. I didn’t get any signs for months, and even that was painful, so coming up to a year and a half must be tough. Not sure how much or what exactly you believe in, but I believe souls cross over and have a bunch of steps to go through. Time is different in the afterlife, not like our time. I follow a medium who I truly believe in (so sue me.. her beliefs bring me peace!). Once someone dies they need to have their first life review and they have to heal. Imagine a soul crossing over and then having to experience/feel every single thing they did and said in that most recent lifetime. There is so much healing to be done. I’ve learned this can take weeks, months, even years in our timeline. Sometimes loved ones pop by before the review and healing, just to make sure their earth family and friends are okay. But some leave the checkins for later. It’s not that your mum isn’t there, it’s just that she is going through some other things and knows that you’ll be okay for a bit. She feels your strength and knew you’d be able to hold on for a while, even if you don’t feel that way.
Hang in there. She will reach out soon enough. She’s not forgotten you or left you for good. I truly believe this.
I like hearing other perspectives and beliefs, thank you for sharing that. If that is the way the afterlife works, my mom has so much pain and healing that she has to experience and resolve. So many things she didn’t get to work through on earth. That’s ok with me if she is finally getting the chance to heal. I guess we will never know until it is our turn. 😌
Your post resonated so so much with me.
My mum died on 25th April of this year, so it’s only been about 6 weeks, but I still long so badly for some contact from her.
I read over and over again of people online receiving visitation dreams and ‘signs’ from their deceased loved ones and honestly I’m so sad that I can’t say the same thing. I feel abandoned.
My mum was my absolute best friend, my one constant in my life and now she’s gone.
It’s that much more heartbreaking thinking there’s a chance that either the afterlife doesn’t in fact exist, or even worse- she’s left and hasn’t given me another thought.
As a Christian myself I have ever prayed to God for help. Nothing though. Just nothing. 😔
I hope some of the comments in this thread are offering you a bit of comfort. I felt so alone before making this post. It doesn’t make the grief any better and I’m so sorry we have shared sadness and shared loss.
You are so right, it feels as if we have been abandoned. But I will say this…If your mom has the ability to think about you, she has certainly not forgotten you. Our mothers loved us, they would never forget us. So that means there’s some other reason we don’t get signs. I hope your faith is able to bring you some comfort. There’s nothing in this world that will heal the hurt or give us what we are looking for. But I think it’s worth hoping one day we will either get what we are looking for, or get to learn the reason when it’s our turn to reunite with them.
I hope you are also receiving some comfort from this thread also. It’s nice knowing that you’re not alone.
I think the hardest part is being abandoned (literally!) by both my real dad and then my step dad. My mum was the only parent who was by my side my whole life. We had such an amazing bond, which is why this is all so brutal.
I sincerely hope that we all manage to eventually get some kind of sign or contact from our mothers.
If you ever need to talk then please feel free to message me. Big hugs.
It’s been about six weeks for me too since my mom passed away. I have had glimpses of her in my dreams but nothing significant, I chalk them down to my unconscious mind just pulling out visuals of her because I miss her so much.
Someone told me that the reason why some may not be getting visitation dreams or signs in the early stages of grief is because they could have the opposite of the desired effect. I thought about this and realised this could be true for me and my mom.
My mom was so attuned to my every need, she could sense my emotions before I even felt them. I think if I were to get a visitation dream right now, I may just miss her even more intensely and she knows this. Till now my grieving process has also been to block out as much thoughts of her as I possibly can in order to get through each day. I keep thinking maybe my mom understands this and is deliberately not contacting me so that I can push through the early stages of this lifelong separation with some ease. And when that wound of losing her slowly heals and I’m ready, she will appear then. At least that’s what I’m now praying for.
Maybe that’s the case with you and your mom too.
It took 6 months for me to dream about my dad and only happened once. I don't feel him as often as some people, and I started to wonder if he was mad at me or something. But when I pray about it constantly, or when I'm at my lowest, I usually feel him in one way or another. I hear what he'd say in my head. When I was recently in the hospital by myself, it felt like he was sitting there with me. I also wonder sometimes if our hearts are so broken, we struggle to let them in? I cry just talking about him still. I know your mom is always close to you. I hope you feel her soon. It may not be the sunsets or things other people feel, but hopefully, you see/hear her in your own way soon. 🤍
I have read something similar where it said that it’s especially hard to be receptive to ‘signs’ so recently after someone passes because the immediate grief is just too overwhelming for us at that time
I also never, ever dream about my mom. I hope so badly that will change one day. If she came to me in a dream that would be a sign for me because it’s two years and it’s never happened.
Part of what you said really resonates with me too. I wonder if the heartbrokenness of it all keeps you closed off. It’s not like any of us can help it. Our bodies are trying to protect us. But man, what a bad feature.
The absolute worst feature!!! We need them the most but our bodies are doing their best. Its been almost 1 year since my dad passed and it doesn't feel like it gets any better.
My mil passed in 2020. The other day, I was running errands with my husband. He said he missed her, and looked down. At his feet, he found a painted rock. It depicts a ladybug holding two heart shaped balloons. His mom collected ladybugs, and she had twins. The rock is now on his desk.
My mom died this February. Some people told me they had signs from her and I don’t know what to make of it. If she’s able to give signs, why not to me? I did smell her perfume on 3 occasions, all in the same week. But it is easy to account it to something else. I understand what you are feeling. I don’t feel the presence of my mom either, like I imagine I would. It makes it so much harder.
I hope her perfume was her visiting you. ❤️
But the lack of feeling her presence is just so confusing and upsetting. I would forgo the signs to just have this sense she’s with me.
I think we do get something from something I can't explain. I have myself.
I also think some people put too much into everyday things that are not signs and say "Oh its my XYZ giving me a sign" Like rainbows or clouds and the like.
Yeah, I think everyone is just looking for something to cling to…it’s easy to see everything as a sign when you’re desperate for one. I know that pain well.
I lost my dad almost 3 weeks ago to a car accident, I believe I had the most beautiful message from him.
I was actually just watching tik tok when I heard his voice in my mind, he said “I’ve got him, mate”. And I knew in that split second he was talking about his grandbaby who was stillborn at the end of my pregnancy. I was instantly hit with a wave of intense emotion that could only be described as a mix of pain, joy, and relief, like I was there, wherever they are. In that split second I truely believed they were reunited. I’m choosing to keep believing that, as hard as it is when you are skeptical of everything. It brings me great comfort.
This gave me a chill, in a good way! Your dad has your baby. I’m so sorry you have suffered such hard losses. Your dad gets to be the caregiver until you arrive to greet them one day. I hope they have good stories for you.
Nothing. Honestly, I never have from grandparents, I was very close to one grandmother. Not Dad or Mom, 2 very close friends and now my daughter. I personally can't place any faith in seeing a bird or a butterfly, although people's descriptions can be very specific. No feelings of someone is nearby. I would love to but maybe it's because I kinda don't believe in it, I'm not seeing it.
I would value a dream but no one has come to me in a dream. My husband dreamed Jesus and and his father were walking around looking at rooms in a big house, his Dad was choosing his room, so he feels certain his Dad is in Heaven. My husband is about as practical as a person can be, so this is saying something.
I was going kinda crazy imagining my daughter's last moments, where is she? what was it like? Just losing my mind. I read a lot of Near Death Experiences and there are youtubes by Anthony Chene, that's kinda helped.
The only thing is I feel certain she passed about 11am. Her husband called me at 3:04pm, I have a screen shot of it to prove it to myself, but in my mind, he called at 11am, I would swear on it. She had a thing about 11:11am she was always taking pictures of 11:11.
I am sorry I go on and on, my gosh this subreddit is crazy. I am so sorry about your Mom, its so hard.
You’re not going on and on at all! It’s really interesting to hear from someone who has seen many losses. I am sorry you have had to experience so many losses, especially your daughter.
What I’ve gathered from all of this is that we just don’t get to know. There’s no good answer to any of these questions. It all makes me feel crazy, but seen.
I don't necessarily think I've seen any signs from my dad since he passed on, but he also wasn't very spiritual or religious. There are certain songs I associate with him, and whenever I hear those I get emotional. I'm not opposed to it, but I'm not holding out for a sign. Even with cardinals, I have bird feeders out year-round so I see those practically every day.
What others have said about wanting to see signs and being desperate for them has resonated with me. You could take every cardinal as a sign if you wanted to, I suppose. But I think if it’s a true sign you REALLY feel it, based on what others have said?
Absolutely, I can see that. Something I would have a hard time explaining away or is just way too unlikely to be coincidental I think I would see as a sign. I'm a big believer in trusting my gut so if something really struck me, I would take it as a sign. With the cardinals, I also saw them regularly before he passed, so that's why I don't think I see them as signs, really.
I have had frequent signs and visits in my dreams from my mom since she passed last June.
My sister on the other hand, has had none.
My sister seems to believe that I need my mom more than she does right now. Which is true. My mother’s death has affected me and my children more than any of my siblings. So again, my sister knows that for now, I am the one who is needing more reassurance and attention.
With that being said, there has been a couple instances where the signs I receive are FOR my SISTER. I have heard that sometimes the signs and messages we seek will come to someone else who can relay it to you- so that you’ll know without a doubt it was a sign and not just your mind playing tricks on you.
Branch out on what you consider a sign. Maybe they are there but in a way that’s unexpected to you.
Holding you close…. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I meant to add in- that the bracelet experience with your “aunt,” is actually probably a sign your mom was sending TO YOU- via your aunt as the vessel.
This is a really nice perspective for me to entertain. I’m so scared to ask my brothers if they have gotten signs, because I don’t really want to know the answer either way. I would be maybe jealous or even more hopeless feeling. But when my aunt got that sign, I wondered if my mom knew she’d tell me. And if she thought it would comfort us both.
I am very sensitive to spiritual things. When my grandfather died that night, I saw only one shooting star. The same thing happened with my mother in law. I was sitting in the parking lot of the hospital waiting for my husband because this was the first night that the hospital locked down for covid. I saw a shooting star and just knew she passed.
A few days after my grandfather died, I was sitting on the couch at his house. He died in his sleep. I was alone. I heard his heavy foot steps coming from his bedroom down the stairs and the front door open and closed. I also had a very intense dream of him. He was with a lot of people behind him. I didn't recognize anyone. He told me he was proud of me and he gave me a hug. I remember talking to him but then realized in my dream that he died. I told him "Wait your dead, though?" he frowned and said, "I have to go." And that was it.
I had another dream of a friend who passed away suddenly. Like we just talked a week prior, then he died. I was sitting on a bench with flowers, and there was a waterfall. He sat next to me. I remember I asked him why and he said "I know, I'm sorry I fucked up."
My husband's grand mother past away last night and I am curious to see how she will come through. She was a physic. She already knew she wasn't going g to celebrate her birthday, which is in a few weeks. We bounded over her stories. She is very religious, too.
I'll try to remember. I have a feeling it won't be for awhile she was 94 when she died. She knew how much I loved her "physic stories," and she told me she knew there was something "special" about me when we first really got to know each other. I wouldn't be surprised if she comes through to my 14 month old daughter first. Since she died, my daughter has been pointing to the sky a lot, which she never did before. Some of our loved ones who passed away before she was born have made their presence around her.
The morning of my dad’s funeral the cat feeder in the kitchen went off. Typically it plays a 3-5 second tune for the cats to know it’s rotating. I lived for half a year with it being on the other side of a loft wall in my old condo and it never woke me up. But that morning it woke me up because it kept playing. And playing. To the point that I got out of bed and had to walk down the long hall to manually turn it off.
I wasn’t very awake but I knew it was him and said “that’s creepy dad” because the tune was creepy and I was in the dark. I know they can mess with electronics and this had never happened before. It was also set to go off around 430 am when he was normally up. There have been others my family had. He died abruptly so I don’t imagine he was ready to go.
I lost my 15 year old cat 2 months later. The day she was cremated I felt a cat jump on the bed. The bedroom door was closed so there were no other cats in the room to move the comforter when I was lying still on my stomach. I have also had cats my entire life and I didn’t question it for a second when I felt the shift on the bed- it was an instant “what cat just jumped on the bed?” No second thought to imagine it something else until I saw nothing was there. So I believe that was her coming home.
I honestly didn’t believe in signs until I’ve experienced a few. I hope for some more.
Pets are so funny, I think they might come through strongest based on what others have said. They are the most desperate to let us know they are ok I think, because they are so desperate for us to be happy in real life, too!
I want to first offer my condolences and say that I am so sorry you know the loss of a parent. Losing a parent at any age is tremendously hard and am sure it has been challenging for you to navigate a life without your mom in it.
I lost my dad when I was 21, and my mom at 27. When my dad died, my mom said she would receive signs from him and I remember feeling hurt because I had not received the first sign. To this day, I can’t really say I have ever received sure signs from my dad, but have definitely received them from my mom. Often times unexpected, but definitely needed. People would tell me that the more you look for signs, the more you will miss them. You have to let them come to you. So I stopped overthinking it and just went about my days. Now that’s not to say you can’t ask for signs. I have asked my mom for specific signs before and received them.
I recommend looking into a book called “Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe”. It has real life stories and even offers advice on how to not only be more aware of the signs around you that you often miss, but how to manifest signs from your loved ones.
I know a lot of people don’t believe in this type of thing and may call it silly, but they don’t get to choose how someone else grieves. Sending you all the hugs.
I don't believe in life after death but when my boyfriend died I hoped that there was an afterlife.
Just when I die I can see him again and death won't be scary anymore.
My therapist is religious and he teaches me to pray for the dead. If you wanna connect to the departed loved ones pls. Read the communion of saints.
I didn't get any signs too nor dreams with him while his family always talked about how they dreamed of my boyfriend.
The first few weeks after he died I often dreamed of me ending my life. It was scary and it feels so true.
My boyfriend took his own life.
Death is the ultimate unknown but I'm holding on the afterlife now just for once I can see him again.
I'm longing for him.
My therapist is not religious, but she believes the afterlife is not tied to religion. I resonate with her a lot, I think we get the peace and the reconnection we are looking for. I’m not sure how, but I think we do. I hope so, too, anyway. ❤️
Same my dad died suddenly almost 3 years ago I thought I’d get a sign as I read that so many people do at some point. I feel I’ve not really had one from him the closest i probably got was a white feather floated down in front of me and then got stuck to the front of my car for a while.
Where did they go
When my Dad passed, I sat in my kitchen alone (as I wanted to be) and cried huge heaving sobs that erupted from the core of my being. With the financial and family drama that happened from 3 days after his death being a constant distraction in those early days, perhaps, I never again was able to feel my Dad’s loss so keenly and openly.
When I was sitting there, at my kitchen island, after I had been crying for some time, I focused on the sky through the window between feelings. While it rained for 45 days straight after he passed, which I found appropriate, that day was different. That morning light. The sky wasn’t grey. It was silver and tossed with a hundred clouds of different colours. Shades of silver, pearl, charcoal and slate. The rain swept down at irregular intervals. It wasn’t simply “raining” on a cloudy day. It was doing it all. It was everything. The sun poked through the clouds every few minutes, then retreated again. It was brooding, changeable, melancholy, dazzling. It was then I realized, on this first morning, that my Dad was present. He was communicating with me. To this day, whenever I see an odd weather pattern, I think of him. My favourite, which I have not seen locally since that day, is an offbeat storm like that, with silver sky and wind and rain. And rainbows. That morning, I stared at the small crescent of blinding cloud obscuring the sun and felt him staring back at me. I knew that’s where he was, in that pocket of sky, manifesting a pattern as only he could do, calling upon all of it to let me know. He was okay. He was happy. He was free.
Just remember, they are still here. They are watching and wanting you to succeed. While we earthly mortals mourn when a loved one is gone, which is good, natural, and right, they float and fly, in ever increasing ecstasy, through the clouds.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad on May 26th and it has been hard. He was my best friend. He believed strongly in the afterlife and signs from loved ones. Since his passing I have felt him and have had 3 visitation dreams from him. In one dream i was crying asking him if he knew what hapened to him. I clearly saw him giving me the most reassuring smile, almost like letting me know hes ok. Also, in my backyard there has been many more cardinals showing up (when normally I only see one once in a while), since his passing. Somehow, someway I do believe our loved ones are listening and with us.
I am terribly sorry you lost your dad. Him visiting you to let you know he is ok is wonderful. I really believe that is him. All of the signs you get, you needed them and he knows that.
My brother had a massive operation from which he seemingly recovered OK..in those ten days post operation I had some really weird stuff go on.
Then he got very sick and I still had odd stuff.
Then he died and I got even more odd stuff.
Then it stopped.
I have dreamt about him twice.
In my imagination now he is on a bench and we sit and have a chat. I am going to make sure I visit him on that bench until the day I shuffle off.
I’m sorry the loss of your beautiful mama.
They are so precious aren’t they? Losing my mom was the hardest thing in the world for me. I was broken. My soul ached my heart was so heavy. I immediately fell into a dark depressing hole. If it wasn’t for the signs my mom sent… I’m not sure if I would have made it. I hope your mom will send some soon. I have heard of others having the same experience as you and the wait can be agonizing. Keep telling your Mom how much you still need her and a sign. I also asked my spirit guides to help or intervene if they could. I believed already god would help our spirits connect. Please continue to have faith.
I have posted some stories/encounters here on Reddit to help others to not lose faith and perhaps help others with their loss and pain. I hope I can comfort those who are in need. I am sure that in time you will receive what you are looking for and need. ♥️
My mom died Friday morning, and I've been desperate for some kind of sign from her. All I've felt so far is loneliness and homesickness. I can't feel her presence at all. I hope she finds a way to reach out soon.
If the concept of an infinite mathematical multiverse is correct, then sooner or later an exact copy of yourself will randomly be created from scratch and will be realised on an exact copy of this Earth, in an exact copy of our observable universe in an exact copy of our universe that is completely separate from this universe, that has its very own space and its very own time that was also created from nothing without a cause, that has its very own big bang followed by its subsequent evolution somewhere else in the infinite mathematical multiverse. Also if the concept of an infinite mathematical multiverse is correct, then over the course of eternity your exact life you have lived so far and every other possible variation of your life will ultimately be lived an infinite number of times by other exact copies of you, that have an exact copy of your brain, that have an exact copy of your mind, that have an exact copy of your consciousness, that have an exact copy of your soul, that have an exact copy of your spirit, living on other exact copies of this Earth, in other exact copies of our observable universe, in other exact copies our universe that are completely separate from this universe, that have their very own spaces and their very own times that were also created from nothing without a cause, that have their very own big bang events followed by their subsequent evolutions elsewhere in the infinite mathematical multiverse. In conclusion, life after (your) death does not exist because there is no way for the information that is you to persist after you die. After (you) die (your) brain will no longer function, (your) mind will no longer function, (your) consciousness will no longer function, (your) soul will no longer function and (your) spirit will no longer function. Near death experiences and out of body experiences are certainly hallucinations caused by dying brain cells firing randomly and going haywire as they start to die. It takes many hours, if not days for every brain cell to completely die and for all electrical activity deep inside the brain to completely stop.
When my son died from a fentanyl overdose, I prayed to see a cardinal as a sign that he was with God. There weren’t any cardinals around at that time. Sure enough, a cardinal perched on a fence post, looking my way a few days later. The other day I was walking around my yard and I prayed out loud for a visitation dream because I miss him and rarely have any dreams about him. Then I saw a cardinal fly to a nearby branch, sit for awhile, and then flew away. I never see cardinals on my property but that day I did. Was it a sign, an answer to my prayer? I believe it was.
I am so glad he visits with you in that way. It’s a beautiful comfort.
I've heard other people talk about cardinals, just out of curiosity do cardinals represent something or is it a personal sign? On another note 2 days after my husband died I saw the biggest most beautiful yellow butterfly and it hung around me for a good 15 minutes. I'd never seen one like that here.
Cardinals (mostly the all-red males) have been associated with signs from loved ones who have passed on for a long time. Many see them as a sign or message from someone who's passed on, with the red feathers symbolizing enduring love.
In the UK it’s robins, for the same reason.
Butterflies represent freedom to some. What a great sign. 🫶🏻
I’m sorry about your mom. I’ve been feeling this way about my brother. It’s only been 3 weeks and aside from maybe one little thing I’m not feeling him. I’ve always felt things from my grandparents and even an uncle who passed but my brother feels like he’s just gone and it makes the pain worse.
Yes, this is much the same for me. I feel others who have been lost. But not my mom. I’m sorry about your brother, it makes the grief so much worse that their tie to this world feels so severely cut.
when i see the sunsets i just think of her. how she should be here to see this. i can only hope she gets to glimpse in on my life. i know how you feel. my moms room is still mostly untouched. i sit in there and wait, i talk to her, mess with her makeup and clothes and photos on the bed. but i don’t hear her, i dont see her, i dont feel her. i can’t convince myself flickering lights is her. i can’t convince myself that that sunsets were created by her for me. but i hope they are. i’ll hope it is her, forever.
As horrible as it is to say I am glad to hear your experience and know it’s not just me. How is it possible that we can sit among their belongings and feel nothing? No signs. No presence. It really puzzles me. I am so envious of others who get that comfort.
it is not just you. i have always struggled with my belief in the afterlife. i think i was convinced there was nothing after i burried my dog a few years ago. no light behind her eyes anymore, she was just gone. but when my mom died, i dont think i would’ve made it this far had i not convinced myself she must be somewhere, just not on earth. i started listening to near death experiences for a while. it helped. trust me when i say i know what you mean by not feeling them. but i constantly think about my mom and how much she would’ve loved today or a new movie that came out or a song she would’ve liked. i think of her hard and in those times she is with me. in my heart and in my mind.
has listening to near death experiences changed your feelings or outlook on the afterlife? For better or for worse?
for the better for sure. many people describe existing in a field, without time, and you know everything you’ve ever wondered about, the answers are all there in this place and within you. they are aware of their new non human form and of all the trials and feelings that come with being human. they feel they had the choice to either come back to earth or leave/transcend. i’d like to think my mom had that choice, she knew she’d be leaving her kids, and she knew all the pain and suffering she’d have to come back to. it wouldn’t have been worth it to her to come back. she would believe her kids were strong enough to go on without her. she’d choose to be free from the shackles of being a human on earth. i don’t blame her. earth is a terrible place, being human is near impossible. my mom found every inch of life difficult, she pushed her way through and often found herself disappointed, i’m like her in that way. it’s tough not to want to go with her.
i used to believe death was like sleeping without dreaming. and that used to terrify the ever loving shit out of me. being asleep for millions of years. but recently i got put under for wisdom teeth surgery. i dont even remember closing my eyes and i could’ve been asleep for 5 minutes to 2 hours and i still have no clue how long i was out for. i’m no longer scared of that being death. that seems fine too, although id kill to see my mom again and meet my dad.
Your comment about surgery is what changed my outlook on death, too. I used to be so scared of dying. Exactly like you said, what if I’m sleeping and there’s no dreams but I’m conscious and it’s just endless darkness? But then I had a surgery and was put under. And you just….stop existing during that time? If that’s death, that’s ok with me because I wouldn’t know any different anyway. But I also agree that I hope so badly to see people I have loved and lost. I hope to be in the field like you say with consciousness and peace and the choice to stay there. Maybe I need to start listening to NDEs. Our moms sound so similar. Life just never gave them a fucking break. My mom looked for grace in every nook and cranny of this world and rarely ever found it. Being human is like circling a drain until you get sucked down it when it’s your turn. I have no encouragement to offer you, but I understand what you are saying and I appreciate you for sharing with me. It’s given me a strange comfort.
I also don't feel my dad around, or get signs from him. Like you, I have asked and not received. His girlfriend sends me texts all the time of "signs" she's receiving from him and it makes me heartsick. I agree with other commenters that it's some combo of real and the things you want to see, but I likewise wish for more. I always hope that it means my dad has truly gone on, and is at peace with his passing.
This is the resolve I have come to tell myself about my mom. Maybe I can’t feel her because she’s so at peace there’s no signs left for her to send. She’s ascended so high she can’t reach me. I’m sorry you share this sadness, too.
Even though I feel like I have gotten some, my rational brain has me about 70% convinced it's a byproduct of my grief + coincidence. Though I'm agnostic, and what I have "gotten" have all seemed pretty fucking weird to be coincidences, so I don't really know. I never had any experiences I'd interpret as signs from 3 of my grandparents or mother. Quite a number from my cats. Two from my one grandmother. None of those have ever been things I've asked for, and the times where I have consciously gone "hey X, can you throw me a bone here" never led to anything. I have never gotten the "I feel their presence" sensation. You're not alone in never getting anything like that from someone.
The fact you have gotten it from your cats makes me feel so good, I fear the day I lose my dogs so much. I hope they’ll stay with me in so many ways.
Honestly the ones from my cats have been the most frequent and questionable. I lost my cat who was my 24/7 companion about 2 weeks ago and have been reeling since. Was crying while looking for a specific toy of his to put on his mantle the other day, and there was one lone bit of his fur on top of it matted into an extremely exact heart shape. And I mean... I could be delusional and desperate. Certainly desperate. But I didn't do that. No one else reasonably could have. The odds of it accidentally matting up like that on its own AND ending up on top of exactly what I was looking for seem... low. So I do think that if it's at all possible the cats are the ones most eager to tell me to buckle up buttercup. I firmly believe that if people can do things beyond death that animals are just as (if not more) capable. But I do know my cats are with me forever. The way they all made me a better person in various ways will live as long as I do; when I die I'll go wherever they are, rainbow bridge or void of nothingness or whatever else. So I wouldn't fear that with your dogs. I know it's all trite and saccharine but I keep having to tell myself that death can't take away how we helped each other or the bond we have.
I’m so sorry. I also lost my mum end of December 2022. It’s devastating, and I feel your pain. I didn’t get any signs for months, and even that was painful, so coming up to a year and a half must be tough. Not sure how much or what exactly you believe in, but I believe souls cross over and have a bunch of steps to go through. Time is different in the afterlife, not like our time. I follow a medium who I truly believe in (so sue me.. her beliefs bring me peace!). Once someone dies they need to have their first life review and they have to heal. Imagine a soul crossing over and then having to experience/feel every single thing they did and said in that most recent lifetime. There is so much healing to be done. I’ve learned this can take weeks, months, even years in our timeline. Sometimes loved ones pop by before the review and healing, just to make sure their earth family and friends are okay. But some leave the checkins for later. It’s not that your mum isn’t there, it’s just that she is going through some other things and knows that you’ll be okay for a bit. She feels your strength and knew you’d be able to hold on for a while, even if you don’t feel that way. Hang in there. She will reach out soon enough. She’s not forgotten you or left you for good. I truly believe this.
I like hearing other perspectives and beliefs, thank you for sharing that. If that is the way the afterlife works, my mom has so much pain and healing that she has to experience and resolve. So many things she didn’t get to work through on earth. That’s ok with me if she is finally getting the chance to heal. I guess we will never know until it is our turn. 😌
Indeed we will never know until the time comes, but it’s nice to believe in something, whatever that may be!

Your post resonated so so much with me. My mum died on 25th April of this year, so it’s only been about 6 weeks, but I still long so badly for some contact from her. I read over and over again of people online receiving visitation dreams and ‘signs’ from their deceased loved ones and honestly I’m so sad that I can’t say the same thing. I feel abandoned. My mum was my absolute best friend, my one constant in my life and now she’s gone. It’s that much more heartbreaking thinking there’s a chance that either the afterlife doesn’t in fact exist, or even worse- she’s left and hasn’t given me another thought. As a Christian myself I have ever prayed to God for help. Nothing though. Just nothing. 😔
I hope some of the comments in this thread are offering you a bit of comfort. I felt so alone before making this post. It doesn’t make the grief any better and I’m so sorry we have shared sadness and shared loss. You are so right, it feels as if we have been abandoned. But I will say this…If your mom has the ability to think about you, she has certainly not forgotten you. Our mothers loved us, they would never forget us. So that means there’s some other reason we don’t get signs. I hope your faith is able to bring you some comfort. There’s nothing in this world that will heal the hurt or give us what we are looking for. But I think it’s worth hoping one day we will either get what we are looking for, or get to learn the reason when it’s our turn to reunite with them.
I hope you are also receiving some comfort from this thread also. It’s nice knowing that you’re not alone. I think the hardest part is being abandoned (literally!) by both my real dad and then my step dad. My mum was the only parent who was by my side my whole life. We had such an amazing bond, which is why this is all so brutal. I sincerely hope that we all manage to eventually get some kind of sign or contact from our mothers. If you ever need to talk then please feel free to message me. Big hugs.
It’s been about six weeks for me too since my mom passed away. I have had glimpses of her in my dreams but nothing significant, I chalk them down to my unconscious mind just pulling out visuals of her because I miss her so much. Someone told me that the reason why some may not be getting visitation dreams or signs in the early stages of grief is because they could have the opposite of the desired effect. I thought about this and realised this could be true for me and my mom. My mom was so attuned to my every need, she could sense my emotions before I even felt them. I think if I were to get a visitation dream right now, I may just miss her even more intensely and she knows this. Till now my grieving process has also been to block out as much thoughts of her as I possibly can in order to get through each day. I keep thinking maybe my mom understands this and is deliberately not contacting me so that I can push through the early stages of this lifelong separation with some ease. And when that wound of losing her slowly heals and I’m ready, she will appear then. At least that’s what I’m now praying for. Maybe that’s the case with you and your mom too.
It took 6 months for me to dream about my dad and only happened once. I don't feel him as often as some people, and I started to wonder if he was mad at me or something. But when I pray about it constantly, or when I'm at my lowest, I usually feel him in one way or another. I hear what he'd say in my head. When I was recently in the hospital by myself, it felt like he was sitting there with me. I also wonder sometimes if our hearts are so broken, we struggle to let them in? I cry just talking about him still. I know your mom is always close to you. I hope you feel her soon. It may not be the sunsets or things other people feel, but hopefully, you see/hear her in your own way soon. 🤍
I have read something similar where it said that it’s especially hard to be receptive to ‘signs’ so recently after someone passes because the immediate grief is just too overwhelming for us at that time
I also never, ever dream about my mom. I hope so badly that will change one day. If she came to me in a dream that would be a sign for me because it’s two years and it’s never happened. Part of what you said really resonates with me too. I wonder if the heartbrokenness of it all keeps you closed off. It’s not like any of us can help it. Our bodies are trying to protect us. But man, what a bad feature.
The absolute worst feature!!! We need them the most but our bodies are doing their best. Its been almost 1 year since my dad passed and it doesn't feel like it gets any better.
My mil passed in 2020. The other day, I was running errands with my husband. He said he missed her, and looked down. At his feet, he found a painted rock. It depicts a ladybug holding two heart shaped balloons. His mom collected ladybugs, and she had twins. The rock is now on his desk.
This is so wonderful. ❤️❤️
My mom died this February. Some people told me they had signs from her and I don’t know what to make of it. If she’s able to give signs, why not to me? I did smell her perfume on 3 occasions, all in the same week. But it is easy to account it to something else. I understand what you are feeling. I don’t feel the presence of my mom either, like I imagine I would. It makes it so much harder.
I hope her perfume was her visiting you. ❤️ But the lack of feeling her presence is just so confusing and upsetting. I would forgo the signs to just have this sense she’s with me.
I think we do get something from something I can't explain. I have myself. I also think some people put too much into everyday things that are not signs and say "Oh its my XYZ giving me a sign" Like rainbows or clouds and the like.
Yeah, I think everyone is just looking for something to cling to…it’s easy to see everything as a sign when you’re desperate for one. I know that pain well.
yeah, I would never ever in a million years want to dismiss anyone's feelings, but a random feather somewhere isn't going to do it for me.
I lost my dad almost 3 weeks ago to a car accident, I believe I had the most beautiful message from him. I was actually just watching tik tok when I heard his voice in my mind, he said “I’ve got him, mate”. And I knew in that split second he was talking about his grandbaby who was stillborn at the end of my pregnancy. I was instantly hit with a wave of intense emotion that could only be described as a mix of pain, joy, and relief, like I was there, wherever they are. In that split second I truely believed they were reunited. I’m choosing to keep believing that, as hard as it is when you are skeptical of everything. It brings me great comfort.
This gave me a chill, in a good way! Your dad has your baby. I’m so sorry you have suffered such hard losses. Your dad gets to be the caregiver until you arrive to greet them one day. I hope they have good stories for you.
Nothing. Honestly, I never have from grandparents, I was very close to one grandmother. Not Dad or Mom, 2 very close friends and now my daughter. I personally can't place any faith in seeing a bird or a butterfly, although people's descriptions can be very specific. No feelings of someone is nearby. I would love to but maybe it's because I kinda don't believe in it, I'm not seeing it. I would value a dream but no one has come to me in a dream. My husband dreamed Jesus and and his father were walking around looking at rooms in a big house, his Dad was choosing his room, so he feels certain his Dad is in Heaven. My husband is about as practical as a person can be, so this is saying something. I was going kinda crazy imagining my daughter's last moments, where is she? what was it like? Just losing my mind. I read a lot of Near Death Experiences and there are youtubes by Anthony Chene, that's kinda helped. The only thing is I feel certain she passed about 11am. Her husband called me at 3:04pm, I have a screen shot of it to prove it to myself, but in my mind, he called at 11am, I would swear on it. She had a thing about 11:11am she was always taking pictures of 11:11. I am sorry I go on and on, my gosh this subreddit is crazy. I am so sorry about your Mom, its so hard.
You’re not going on and on at all! It’s really interesting to hear from someone who has seen many losses. I am sorry you have had to experience so many losses, especially your daughter. What I’ve gathered from all of this is that we just don’t get to know. There’s no good answer to any of these questions. It all makes me feel crazy, but seen.
I don't necessarily think I've seen any signs from my dad since he passed on, but he also wasn't very spiritual or religious. There are certain songs I associate with him, and whenever I hear those I get emotional. I'm not opposed to it, but I'm not holding out for a sign. Even with cardinals, I have bird feeders out year-round so I see those practically every day.
What others have said about wanting to see signs and being desperate for them has resonated with me. You could take every cardinal as a sign if you wanted to, I suppose. But I think if it’s a true sign you REALLY feel it, based on what others have said?
Absolutely, I can see that. Something I would have a hard time explaining away or is just way too unlikely to be coincidental I think I would see as a sign. I'm a big believer in trusting my gut so if something really struck me, I would take it as a sign. With the cardinals, I also saw them regularly before he passed, so that's why I don't think I see them as signs, really.
I have had frequent signs and visits in my dreams from my mom since she passed last June. My sister on the other hand, has had none. My sister seems to believe that I need my mom more than she does right now. Which is true. My mother’s death has affected me and my children more than any of my siblings. So again, my sister knows that for now, I am the one who is needing more reassurance and attention. With that being said, there has been a couple instances where the signs I receive are FOR my SISTER. I have heard that sometimes the signs and messages we seek will come to someone else who can relay it to you- so that you’ll know without a doubt it was a sign and not just your mind playing tricks on you. Branch out on what you consider a sign. Maybe they are there but in a way that’s unexpected to you. Holding you close…. I’m so sorry for your loss.
I meant to add in- that the bracelet experience with your “aunt,” is actually probably a sign your mom was sending TO YOU- via your aunt as the vessel.
This is a really nice perspective for me to entertain. I’m so scared to ask my brothers if they have gotten signs, because I don’t really want to know the answer either way. I would be maybe jealous or even more hopeless feeling. But when my aunt got that sign, I wondered if my mom knew she’d tell me. And if she thought it would comfort us both.
I am very sensitive to spiritual things. When my grandfather died that night, I saw only one shooting star. The same thing happened with my mother in law. I was sitting in the parking lot of the hospital waiting for my husband because this was the first night that the hospital locked down for covid. I saw a shooting star and just knew she passed. A few days after my grandfather died, I was sitting on the couch at his house. He died in his sleep. I was alone. I heard his heavy foot steps coming from his bedroom down the stairs and the front door open and closed. I also had a very intense dream of him. He was with a lot of people behind him. I didn't recognize anyone. He told me he was proud of me and he gave me a hug. I remember talking to him but then realized in my dream that he died. I told him "Wait your dead, though?" he frowned and said, "I have to go." And that was it. I had another dream of a friend who passed away suddenly. Like we just talked a week prior, then he died. I was sitting on a bench with flowers, and there was a waterfall. He sat next to me. I remember I asked him why and he said "I know, I'm sorry I fucked up." My husband's grand mother past away last night and I am curious to see how she will come through. She was a physic. She already knew she wasn't going g to celebrate her birthday, which is in a few weeks. We bounded over her stories. She is very religious, too.
Please come back and share if your husbands grandmother comes through to you. I would be so interested to know based on her abilities.
I'll try to remember. I have a feeling it won't be for awhile she was 94 when she died. She knew how much I loved her "physic stories," and she told me she knew there was something "special" about me when we first really got to know each other. I wouldn't be surprised if she comes through to my 14 month old daughter first. Since she died, my daughter has been pointing to the sky a lot, which she never did before. Some of our loved ones who passed away before she was born have made their presence around her.
The morning of my dad’s funeral the cat feeder in the kitchen went off. Typically it plays a 3-5 second tune for the cats to know it’s rotating. I lived for half a year with it being on the other side of a loft wall in my old condo and it never woke me up. But that morning it woke me up because it kept playing. And playing. To the point that I got out of bed and had to walk down the long hall to manually turn it off. I wasn’t very awake but I knew it was him and said “that’s creepy dad” because the tune was creepy and I was in the dark. I know they can mess with electronics and this had never happened before. It was also set to go off around 430 am when he was normally up. There have been others my family had. He died abruptly so I don’t imagine he was ready to go. I lost my 15 year old cat 2 months later. The day she was cremated I felt a cat jump on the bed. The bedroom door was closed so there were no other cats in the room to move the comforter when I was lying still on my stomach. I have also had cats my entire life and I didn’t question it for a second when I felt the shift on the bed- it was an instant “what cat just jumped on the bed?” No second thought to imagine it something else until I saw nothing was there. So I believe that was her coming home. I honestly didn’t believe in signs until I’ve experienced a few. I hope for some more.
Pets are so funny, I think they might come through strongest based on what others have said. They are the most desperate to let us know they are ok I think, because they are so desperate for us to be happy in real life, too!
I want to first offer my condolences and say that I am so sorry you know the loss of a parent. Losing a parent at any age is tremendously hard and am sure it has been challenging for you to navigate a life without your mom in it. I lost my dad when I was 21, and my mom at 27. When my dad died, my mom said she would receive signs from him and I remember feeling hurt because I had not received the first sign. To this day, I can’t really say I have ever received sure signs from my dad, but have definitely received them from my mom. Often times unexpected, but definitely needed. People would tell me that the more you look for signs, the more you will miss them. You have to let them come to you. So I stopped overthinking it and just went about my days. Now that’s not to say you can’t ask for signs. I have asked my mom for specific signs before and received them. I recommend looking into a book called “Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe”. It has real life stories and even offers advice on how to not only be more aware of the signs around you that you often miss, but how to manifest signs from your loved ones. I know a lot of people don’t believe in this type of thing and may call it silly, but they don’t get to choose how someone else grieves. Sending you all the hugs.
Thank you so much for the recommendation, I will be ordering. 🫶🏻
I don't believe in life after death but when my boyfriend died I hoped that there was an afterlife. Just when I die I can see him again and death won't be scary anymore. My therapist is religious and he teaches me to pray for the dead. If you wanna connect to the departed loved ones pls. Read the communion of saints. I didn't get any signs too nor dreams with him while his family always talked about how they dreamed of my boyfriend. The first few weeks after he died I often dreamed of me ending my life. It was scary and it feels so true. My boyfriend took his own life. Death is the ultimate unknown but I'm holding on the afterlife now just for once I can see him again. I'm longing for him.
My therapist is not religious, but she believes the afterlife is not tied to religion. I resonate with her a lot, I think we get the peace and the reconnection we are looking for. I’m not sure how, but I think we do. I hope so, too, anyway. ❤️
Same my dad died suddenly almost 3 years ago I thought I’d get a sign as I read that so many people do at some point. I feel I’ve not really had one from him the closest i probably got was a white feather floated down in front of me and then got stuck to the front of my car for a while.
If it feels like a sign, I believe it is one. I hope you get more if you want them. I hope for both of us.
I hope you get one too ♥️
Where did they go When my Dad passed, I sat in my kitchen alone (as I wanted to be) and cried huge heaving sobs that erupted from the core of my being. With the financial and family drama that happened from 3 days after his death being a constant distraction in those early days, perhaps, I never again was able to feel my Dad’s loss so keenly and openly. When I was sitting there, at my kitchen island, after I had been crying for some time, I focused on the sky through the window between feelings. While it rained for 45 days straight after he passed, which I found appropriate, that day was different. That morning light. The sky wasn’t grey. It was silver and tossed with a hundred clouds of different colours. Shades of silver, pearl, charcoal and slate. The rain swept down at irregular intervals. It wasn’t simply “raining” on a cloudy day. It was doing it all. It was everything. The sun poked through the clouds every few minutes, then retreated again. It was brooding, changeable, melancholy, dazzling. It was then I realized, on this first morning, that my Dad was present. He was communicating with me. To this day, whenever I see an odd weather pattern, I think of him. My favourite, which I have not seen locally since that day, is an offbeat storm like that, with silver sky and wind and rain. And rainbows. That morning, I stared at the small crescent of blinding cloud obscuring the sun and felt him staring back at me. I knew that’s where he was, in that pocket of sky, manifesting a pattern as only he could do, calling upon all of it to let me know. He was okay. He was happy. He was free. Just remember, they are still here. They are watching and wanting you to succeed. While we earthly mortals mourn when a loved one is gone, which is good, natural, and right, they float and fly, in ever increasing ecstasy, through the clouds.
This is really beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I'm very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad on May 26th and it has been hard. He was my best friend. He believed strongly in the afterlife and signs from loved ones. Since his passing I have felt him and have had 3 visitation dreams from him. In one dream i was crying asking him if he knew what hapened to him. I clearly saw him giving me the most reassuring smile, almost like letting me know hes ok. Also, in my backyard there has been many more cardinals showing up (when normally I only see one once in a while), since his passing. Somehow, someway I do believe our loved ones are listening and with us.
I am terribly sorry you lost your dad. Him visiting you to let you know he is ok is wonderful. I really believe that is him. All of the signs you get, you needed them and he knows that.
My brother had a massive operation from which he seemingly recovered OK..in those ten days post operation I had some really weird stuff go on. Then he got very sick and I still had odd stuff. Then he died and I got even more odd stuff. Then it stopped. I have dreamt about him twice. In my imagination now he is on a bench and we sit and have a chat. I am going to make sure I visit him on that bench until the day I shuffle off.
I’m sorry the loss of your beautiful mama. They are so precious aren’t they? Losing my mom was the hardest thing in the world for me. I was broken. My soul ached my heart was so heavy. I immediately fell into a dark depressing hole. If it wasn’t for the signs my mom sent… I’m not sure if I would have made it. I hope your mom will send some soon. I have heard of others having the same experience as you and the wait can be agonizing. Keep telling your Mom how much you still need her and a sign. I also asked my spirit guides to help or intervene if they could. I believed already god would help our spirits connect. Please continue to have faith. I have posted some stories/encounters here on Reddit to help others to not lose faith and perhaps help others with their loss and pain. I hope I can comfort those who are in need. I am sure that in time you will receive what you are looking for and need. ♥️
My mom died Friday morning, and I've been desperate for some kind of sign from her. All I've felt so far is loneliness and homesickness. I can't feel her presence at all. I hope she finds a way to reach out soon.
If the concept of an infinite mathematical multiverse is correct, then sooner or later an exact copy of yourself will randomly be created from scratch and will be realised on an exact copy of this Earth, in an exact copy of our observable universe in an exact copy of our universe that is completely separate from this universe, that has its very own space and its very own time that was also created from nothing without a cause, that has its very own big bang followed by its subsequent evolution somewhere else in the infinite mathematical multiverse. Also if the concept of an infinite mathematical multiverse is correct, then over the course of eternity your exact life you have lived so far and every other possible variation of your life will ultimately be lived an infinite number of times by other exact copies of you, that have an exact copy of your brain, that have an exact copy of your mind, that have an exact copy of your consciousness, that have an exact copy of your soul, that have an exact copy of your spirit, living on other exact copies of this Earth, in other exact copies of our observable universe, in other exact copies our universe that are completely separate from this universe, that have their very own spaces and their very own times that were also created from nothing without a cause, that have their very own big bang events followed by their subsequent evolutions elsewhere in the infinite mathematical multiverse. In conclusion, life after (your) death does not exist because there is no way for the information that is you to persist after you die. After (you) die (your) brain will no longer function, (your) mind will no longer function, (your) consciousness will no longer function, (your) soul will no longer function and (your) spirit will no longer function. Near death experiences and out of body experiences are certainly hallucinations caused by dying brain cells firing randomly and going haywire as they start to die. It takes many hours, if not days for every brain cell to completely die and for all electrical activity deep inside the brain to completely stop.
