Any Signs
Many years ago when I was only 8 years old, my grandmother died. She, in essence, was my mother since my mine has passed when I was 6. The night my grandma died, I was sleeping in a small bed next to hers. She has been taken to the hospital while I was sleeping and died during the night. I awoke in the night, and keeping in mind that I was only 8 yrs. old, saw a cloud which looked like smoke above me to the right of my bed. I looked at it and wondered what it was. I heard my grandma say, "everything is going to be okay, but I am leaving you". The smoke disappeared, and I went back to sleep; in the morning I was told that my grandma had died and was not coming back home.
In 1984, my nineteen year old son died of a heart condition, and his sister and her husband were lying in bed ready to go to sleep when they, too, saw a cloud of what looked like smoke drift across the ceiling. They had no idea what it was, but they both described it in detail. They were sure it was a message from my son who had died two nights before.
I have always been skeptical of people who say that see ghosts or images, but this was very real to me and to my daughter and son-in-law. I would like to believe that the soul does not die, but goes on to a better place, but I am not sure if these images portrayed my loved one's soul. Yet, I can not dismiss the fact that we saw these clouds of smoke.
Since my husband passed in 2015, I keep hoping that I would feel, see or hear something, but I never have had that experience. After 55+ years of marriage, I would have thought I would have gotten some kind of image.
Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

My sister had a sign from my mom, who passed away unexpectedly. My sister was out of town, heard a knock on the door and mother calling her name. She got up to answer the door but no one was there. About a half hour later she got the news of our mother's death.

Thanks, "Jesse's Mom". I went to the sight and read the comments; I am hoping that this mist that my daughter and I saw was the soul of my son and husband on their way to paradise. That would be so comforting and would give me such peace. It would also give me hope that I am going to join them soon.

I have read about this. After my son passed, I have research the afterlife as much as I could. Here is a link:

Hi Maxey, like you I was sceptical about after life messages or signs. I always kept an open mind about it. Four weeks after my girlfriend died I walked into my Hallway and was met with the most overwhelming scent of a thousand Carnations. The experience lasted about 15 minutes. I had no Carnations in my garden, greenhouse, none of my neighbours grew any Carnations. The only possible answer was from my girlfriend Carol. Over the years Looking back I have had signs from my Mom and Brother like the smell of a particular brand of tobacco, they smoked and the regular smell of Heinz soup. Often late at night or early morning when my neighbours are asleep. I don't get any cooking smells from them at all. I am totally blind and no matter how hard I try and use logic to find an answer to the Carnation scent. The only possible answer is from my girlfriend. She couldn't send me any visual signs. The only way was something she knew I would reckognise and that was her favourite flower Carnations. I also got the scent of her perfume when I went to bed one night. It lasted 5 minutes and I so wanted it to last all night. I think perhaps people may miss signs because they are not visual. I will treasure those signs forever. It wasn't my mind playing tricks, at least I don't think so. It did mean something very special to me and always will.Don't dismiss things that may be signs. They may be there just that we may be too absorbed in our own grief to notice. That is not a fault, that is a natural process of grieving. John

I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"
It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
