The first week after my Mom passed I had two really nice dreams with her. It's only been a few months since I've had them and now I can't remember exactly what the were about. I just remember we were together and laughing and just hanging out. I hadn't had any since, until last night. This one was different. This one I would gladly like to forget. We were walking together chatting and then I realized that she had fallen behind and when I turned around she had fallen and was being carried away by a stream of water. The water was so cold, I tried to jump in to save her, but she told me to go ahead without her. I was still trying to save her when I woke myself up because I knew it be too painful to see her die, even if it was only in a dream.  I don't want to believe she had anything to do with that scary dream, but maybe she did.

im glad we all are sharing, i would like to share something i felt about my mom last night, it was the first time since she died back in December....I was watching an old cartoon special, it was from the 40s,and it reminded me of her, its delightfulness, and i grew up with them....i had a picture of her, and i looked at it, and it was as if she was right here with me enjoying it....it brought me such joy, the picture i have of her has a smile on her face....it was a joyfoul moment and my first connection with her since she passed......i wanted to share....she is still here with me...

@ Sue.  your words were very powerful and I thank you for sharing them with me.  I believe what you say is true.  anger and sadness is a block to experiencing a visit.  it's difficult to channel those emotions and focus on remembering the good feelings with the love that was shared and lost. it's challenging and heart wrenching but not impossible.  a faith / trust in a being higher than myself helps balance me as well.

everyone, there is life after death, no, we havent experienced it, but, that person's soul goes straight to heaven....i know thats what happened to my mom, and you can tell that is what happens....that person lives on, as i was told by my presbyterian parents....with a new body, a new life....with God....i strongly believe in this....and its comforting to know that this happens, for us here :)

Llana, most faiths believe in life after death. I've also read a lot of books that convince me there is life after death. There was a show on 20/20 a few months ago on near death experiences, I recorded it and play it every once in a while when I'm having my darkest moments. The people they interviewed seemed very believable and the stories they told were so similar that I have to believe there really is life after death.This is the only thing that keeps me sane, knowing I'll see my loved ones again. Please read the book ninety minutes in heaven and heaven is for real; it will give you a deep perspective on the afterlife. I get a lot of signs from my loved ones these days, the latest one happened just last week. We experienced a major event that could have changed the course of our lives forever if God had not intervened. Hours after it happened, I felt a warmth around me and my moms presence. When I got home that evening, I saw three pennies on the dining room floor, it was really spooky but comforting. Three days later, the issue was totally resolved in a very miraculous way. I know now I have angels watching over me; my three brothers, mom and dad are my angels. If you look for signs, you'll see them, I pray that you will. God Bless you dear.

Mercy.

Mercy,

I have a hard time believing in the afterlife.  But I clearly recall some time ago waking up in the middle of the night and seeing my mother in front of my bed kissing my forehead.  It freaked me out!  I thought I was dreaming, but I was actually wide awake.  I keep looking for signs and don't see them, but maybe I'm missing them.

Two days after mom passed away, she came to me in a very vivid dream. It felt so real but didn’t last very long. The Monday before she passed, a very strong hand gripped me, when I reached out to touch the hand, there was just air. I know it was mom. I never believed in pennies from heaven until she died, every time I’m having a hard time, I find a penny. One time a penny actually dropped on my head in the middle of our driveway; there’s just no way to explain this, all I know is that these are all signs from mom. I miss my mom so much; I actually have pain in my chest on most days. I never thought grief could hurt physically. I know if I didn’t have a daughter; my body would just die off from this grief.

Sue,

I can totally relate to what you said as I had so many things that I wanted to say to my mother before she passed away last year from Ovarian Cancer.  She died five months to the day she was diagnosed and before that she was fine.  It was so sudden.  My mother and I had a love/hate relationship.  We had the same personalities and clashed all the time.  I thought I had time to patch things up before she passed, but I didn't.  I wanted to be there when she passed, but in the end, it hurt me so much to see her body shut down and leave this earth.  Sometimes I regret it, sometimes I don't.  I miss her every day!  Sometimes I see daughters fighting with their mothers and I just want to shake the girl and tell her how lucky she is to have her mom because I don't have that anymore and it's tearing me apart.  It's also had to see my dad dating again.

Kevin,

I have experienced the same as you have. Exactly the same. I am more greatful to experience the vist-connection than I am sad when it ends. I do want to cry and be sad when it is over. Sometimes I feel a gigantic pang of grief. My mom and I shopped together every Sunday. Because I work all week..it was our day together. I never realized how much I would begged to have those days back. I believe anything is possible if you open your heart and mind and allow it to enter. Sometimes she swishes through me like a breeze and I say "Hi Mom". She just says..."I'm here". I believe if you are full of anger and hate for any reasons (your family, your job) those feelings control you and you can't "receive" what you and I are experiencing. When mom was in the hospital she told myself my sisters that two little babies slept with her one night. One on the left, one of the right. My sisters told her it was the medication. When they left..mom and I talked about it and we knew that the babies were two angels. My sisters are not open minded enough to think such things are possible. I am so greatful for having the mother that I HAVE.. She is still my mother.

@ Suzanne. I have had two vivid dreams with my mom and although they are so wonderful and peaceful at the time of the dream, when I wake up and realize it wasn't real, it feels as if she died all over again.  I used to go shopping with my mom every weekend since I can remember and the other day I went to a market I used to go a lot with my mom and I felt this overwhelming sense my mom was with me. the feeling was so intense I felt as if I were going to collapse on the floor.  again I felt her for the moment and then it was gone.  Every time I experience these feelings I am grateful but the pain of losing her hits me every time.  do I want to continue feeling these sensations, yes.  is it scary?  yes.  Hopefully you have these "visits" but be prepared and understand it may open feelings you will have to deal with.  I hope you experience the spirit of your mom.  She's out there, loving you.  just in a different way.  listen with your heart.

Peace.
