A good friend, Janice, passed away about 12 years ago. In a dream, I saw in in a red nightgown with white flowers telling me she was OK and not to worry about her anymore.

A few weeks later I met a mutual friend, Lisa. Lisa and I had not spoken since before I had that dream. Lisa started to tell me she had a dream about Janice. My first question was "What was she wearing?" And guess what Lisa told me -- a red nightgown with white flowers.

I guess Janice was making the rounds that night just to let us know she was OK.

I believe. I just wish I understood it better...like why some do and some don't, how, when is this possible...etc There's obviously more to it that we just don't "get".

I also had a reading by John Edward. It was nice to hear from my MIL and FIL again.

I don't understand this either and I wish I did. I do believe; however I've never experienced anything like this with my loved ones who have passed and I wish I had. Espcially with Mother. I really wish I'd had some indication after she left us that she was still with us in spirit and was ok but I all I ever felt when I thought about her was a large void - a huge 'nothingness'. She was never a spritual person and did not believe in any kind of afterlife so I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

I firmly believe there is more to it than we know. You're not the only one who wishes and wonders why they haven't had a "sign". For what it's worth, I've never had anything on my own. Just that encounter at the John Edward seminar.

I don't buy into the whole biblical heaven/hell thing. but I've had enough paranormal encounters to convince me there are things we can't possibly fathom. it's the ultimate mystery. good for you, I hope it helps to keep the thought of your mom close.

A few months after my dad passed, we (siblings) asked my mom if it would be okay to change the greeting on her answering machine. It was my dad's voice and it was just strange to call and hear his voice. She said it was fine but she wanted us to save the tape. I bought a brand new tape, took the old one out and put the new one in. I recorded the new greeting. I put the old tape on top of the TV so my mom would see it when she got home. A few days later my sister called to ask me when I would be getting around to changing the tape on the machine because she just called and dad "answered." WHAT?? Not possible. I called and sure enough, it was the same message. I drove over to my mom's house and the tape was still on top of her tv. I pressed the button to play the announcement and it was my voice. It only happened those two times but it totally freaked us out!

My DS was hospitalized a few years ago. I asked my Mom(his granny, who passed 8 years earlier) to hold his hand during this horrible time. The next day he told me "Granny was with me last light. I woke up saw a light in the corner of the room and there she was". They are never gone!

My sister and I think Grandma came to visit us after she passed. Before Grandma passed my Grandparents took our entire family to Hawaii. They rented a house for all 15 of us. Grandma loved these trips because she was surrounded by family and we all got along which was very rare. We went to Maui twice before she died. After she passed away Grandpa decided to take everyone again. The thrid time was just not the same with out Grandma being there. She was the glue that held the family together and it was very sad being there without her.

On the third trip my sister and I went parasailing. The guides on the boat were flirting with her from the momment we stepped on the boat. The used her name quite a few times before it was our turn. As they were strapping us in the harness she became very nervous. The guys on the boat strapped us in and he was giving us last minute instructions. They looked at my sister (Amy) and said "Ok Evelyn, you will be fine trust me and have fun!" My sister and I looked at each other and both of us had this warm easy feeling. Evelyn was Grandmas name and we knew she was there with us. We asked the guy what he said and he repeated the statement with my sisters correct name.

We talked about it later and Evelyn is not a common name and he had been calling her Amy over and over again. It really brought us comfort since everyone had been missing Grandma so much on this trip.

My Godmother who passed in 1999 talks to me all of the time. She and I were closer than my mother and I were. Well last week I was a bit in the dumps because I'm seeing this guy who I've known for a couple of years who he and I were really good friends prior however we just started seeing each other seriously for three months know. Well a month after we started dating he tells me he is in love with me. I'm feeling the same way too. But he is the type of guys who does not say I love you everyday he thinks it wears out its meaning if you say it too much. I think it's crazy but I know a lot of people who feel this way, women included.

Well we both have been really busy lately traveling (both of us are in the Air Force) and have not spent a lot of time together. So me being a typical woman start questioning the fact that does he really love me. So I'm driving to meet a girlfriend for lunch last Saturday and out of the clear blue I hear her voice say "Kim he loves you more than you think, matter of fact he loves you more than you know" Just be patient things are going to work out. I know you love him and want to show and express that to him more often than what you can now. So I say out loud "then why wont he tell me".

Tuesday he and I were on the phone talking while at work, and out of the blue he just starts expressing to me how he feels about me and all I could do was smile This is the most recent my Godmother and I talked but she speaks to me all of the time. I feel her with me almost everyday. Darn I miss her so I"m crying as I type this.

My husband was driving to his mothers in the next town. He got such an awful feeling that something bad was going to happen to one of the kids that he actually had to pull over to the side of the road. Rural roads and not much traffic.Two weeks later my 16 year old nephew was killed in a head on in that exact spot. My husband had made this drive hundreds of times and for some reason this feeling hit him hard that day. After my nephews passing, my youngest sister who is also 16 had a really hard time dealing with his death and one night my Mom said that she kept screaming that Adam needed to send her a sign that he was ok....her clock radio stopped on the exact time of his death. My sister {his Mom} also kept asking for a sign...for a couple of nights right after his passing, the door bell would ring exactly at 11:00 pm which was his curfew and the sign that him and my sister used to let her know that it was him getting home. My sister {another one!} was driving home one night and feeling bad that she hadn't gotten a sign and thought that it would be cool if a deer would walk out to the side of the road as Adam was into hunting...a skunk ran out in front of her and that's something that Adam would have done to her! My sign....one of the girls at work was telling me about someone that she knew who had a relative pass away. Her sign was a dragon fly....this person turned over a rock at their cottage and there was an imprint of a dragon fly on the bottom of this rock. So I tell her that I haven't seen a dragon fly in a very long time. The next month we're at the AKL and I'm sitting out on the balcony in the early morning as to not wake up the restof the family and lo and behold....a dragon fly starts hanging around our balcony...it couldn't have happened at a mor magical place! I tell my 16 year old daughter about it and while I'm waiting outside of the school to pick her up for her drivers test a dragon fly starts trying to get into the window...I told her she had nothing to worry about and she passed with flying colors! Do I believe? You bet I do! {Sorry this got a little long!}

A friend of mine's father had been fighting cancer on and off and was thinking about retiring from his job. He was thinking about it heavily at work one day when he walked by a garbage can that had a piece of paper sticking out and all that could be read was "Retire", then a day or so later he drove home and the car in front of him had a license plate that said "retird" he knew for sure this was a sign!

He came home and talked to his daughter about signs and he asked her if she believed in them. She said "not really" but thought his stories were cute.

He passed away from cancer not too soon after.

She was devestated and went for a drive before the wake. A car sped out of a street and cut her off. The car was going really slow so she started getting mad. She looked down and saw that the car's license plate said "sml4me" (smile for me) the car sped off really fast right after she noticed the plate... she knew it was her dad.

Thanks everyone for sharing your beautiful stories.

My Mom was the most devoted baker, I mean she loved it, from sun up to sundown. I on the other had have always hated and still do hate to bake. But for 2 full weeks after my Mom passed I had an incredible passion for baking, couldn't get enough of it. I thought that since my Mom was now gone perhaps as a tribute to her I simply learned to appreciate it. Then one day while I was happily baking along I looked out the window and saw a Blue Jay, it was the weirdest thing because we just sat there kind of froze starring at each other (I know I'm talking about a bird here). I think that I got that it was my Mom or made me think of her anyway and I just started crying when she flew away. And that was the end of my baking career, never again, can't stand it. I know it's too weird but I'm pretty sure it was her spirit baking through me, I don't know if she wasn't ready to leave yet or just thought she would try one more time to light a passion for baking in me, but I know it was her.

Those are great stories. The only 'strange' encounter that I've ever seen is my son, when he was around 2 1/2. We had just moved in to this house, where my husband had grown up. My husbands dad passed away when he was only 4, so he barely knew him but they are the spitting image of each other. I was here alone with my son and he walked around the corner in the living room to the hall way and said "daddy" and held up his arms like he wanted to be held/picked up. I thought.....strange! So I sort of peeked around the corner and he just looked at me and then back up and said "daddy" and made the motion again.

Really bizarre!

Oh and I suppose another one would be that right after my grandpa passed away I received a letter from some state office (wasn't too meaningful), but I scanned the letter and noticed that the signature was my grandpa's name! His name isn't that odd, so I always just tossed it in with coincidence. He's only been gone a year though, so there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of him and I'd like to think that he's still here with us.

I think thats wonderful! Its very comforting to "hear" from a passed away loved one. Its happened to me many times. Keeping an open mind and being aware and receptive will ensure many more visits.

in our last house my wife would smell a strong odor of someone smoking in a bathroom when she took a bath or shower sometimes. neither one have us have ever smoked. we had gutted that bathroom to the studs to make some improvements. our neighbor told us that had been where one the other owners of the house was found, and he was a big smoker. who knows? I think the OP's experience is one of those things that can't be explained. and I love experiences like that.

Wow.

We have Uncle Charlie visit from beyond, and now that my mom, dad and DH's sis are up there, we seem to have a lot more of those messages from beyond. My mom was working her magic for my sister a few weeks ago-got into LPN school a week after it started. My sister told me the whole chain of events and we both were crying, because the events of that day had mom's help all over them.

I was at work by myself a couple of weeks ago and I needed a piece of hardware that I only had back in the stockroom. I started hanging the clothing I needed and went to place them on the two bars I'd set-then there was a thrid one on the fixture. I think my SIL was there to help!

My Mil decided to go back in get her Masters when she was in her 50's, my FIL really encouraged her to do this. When he suddenly died she was going to quit, and we all told her she had to continue, that Dad would not have wanted her to quit. The day she graduated we were standing in the alcove at the college (A no smoking zone) My 2 kids were very little and were standing by the windows looking out and my nephew was right there. My SIL and I both at the same time said "who is smoking in here, because we smelled cigarette smoke...and we were not close to a door. We looked over by the windows where the kids were and there was an empty pack of the brand of cigarettes my FIL smoked...it was not there just a few minutes earlier. Dad smoked Camel non-filter...not a very common brand anymore. WE just knew that Dad came to watch my MIL graduate.

I've been seeing signs all day today that a friend that recently passed leaves for me. I wondered why today of all days that the signs were so prevalent but after reading this thread I think I have it figured out. My Aunt passed away last nite and I think my friend is letting me know that my Aunt is with him now.

My daughter and her friend also sensed something tonite.

I love the timing of this thread because this topic has been heavy on my mind all day!

I just had to post! I am so happy for all the posters that have seen or heard a sign from loved ones! My DSIL experienced this years ago Her mom passed when she was 17 and her dad passed when she was 20. Well when her and my DBIL got married the morning of the wedding (she was still living in her parents home) she opened her closet door and this envelope fell of the shelf and just fluttered to floor. She oopend it and there was a letter saying how proud we are of you that you continued on in the face of grief and working to support a house alone at such a young age and momma and I are with you on this day please dont think you are alone I will be with you when you walk down the aisle!! and it just said I will always love you daddy!! Her and BIL also had an experience together! (they continued to live in her parents home) When their 2nd DD was born she had a major heart defect well on the valentines day after her birth they had just gotten home late from the NICU and fell asleep on the living room floor together with their oldest DD who was 2 at the time. Well their older DD had gottne a little stuffed animal that when you squeezed his tummy it would say little phrases. Well this little animal woke her and my DBIL calling her name and telling her dont worry about the baby mommy and I are watching over her and we wont let anything happen to her! And please Donna try to let go of your worries and fear she will be fine and always remember mommy and I will always watch over you and your family and we love you very much!! My DN is also 11 years old now and in excellent health!! When my DSIL told me this I cried!! My youngest DS who is now almost 4 at our old house used to look in at the corner of the ceiling in his room and talk to someone and say things like what are you doing? and I love you too! When we moved it stopped and then about a month later I heard him in his room talking so I peeked in he was looking at the ceiling again in the corner and saying there you are! Where have you been?? I have missed you!! I know I love you too!! Who could this be? A gaurdian angel? Or maybe my Grandma or one of my grandpa's who passed away when I was a child??? Sorry for the long post! But I feel strongly about this and I love to hear others stories!
