I too have felt loss, when my son22 died suddenly of a heart attack, two years ago. I made an altar under an old tree.  I hung wind chimes, prayer ties, and below is Mother Mary. I call this my listening tree. I talk, it listens. I sing and the chimes sing back to me.  The chimes seem to to know right when to ring, and wind seems to know when to blow. I am giving a free tel class to help others have an Invisible Relationship. As they are are not dead they are very much alive in spirit. The event is post under events.
Have you felt an encounter? Please share. I send you love, Coach Louise
