Members Popular Post foreverhis Posted January 9 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9 That happened to me nearly every morning for the first year. I don't know if it's common, but I suspect we are not alone. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking he's having too good a time where he is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Popular Post KayC Posted January 9 Moderators Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9 I haven't heard from George since the day I tried to find out my soc sec benefit (told here in signs), that was 10 1/2 years ago. But I've heard it's hard for them to reach us, and if he is having a good time (and I'm sure he is...I'm a wee jealous!) I'm glad for him. His life was hard, all until he met me. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Popular Post foreverhis Posted January 9 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted January 9 For me, it was my own heart waking up first, rather than John actually having managed to “pierce the veil” that separates us. In those few moments between being asleep and being fully awake, I would reach out or roll over toward his side of the bed with my heart expecting him to be waiting, warm and comforting. Then my brain would remember he is gone and I could feel his side of the bed cold and untouched. I do believe there have been rare times when John has come to me, but they were when I was in extreme distress and pain. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, but he hasn't for several years now. Maybe he figures I've learned to deal with it all. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking he's having too good a time where he is. Sorry for the loss of your Tom. It’s been 4 years and 5 months for me. The only comfort I have of my husband being gone is that his pain and suffering are no more and he’s resting in peace with Our Lord God in heaven. Other than that I’m lost without my Richie cuz he was my lover, my one true friend, and he was my protector and my defender until he died 4 years 5 months ago. I must move forward with my life by living each day for myself, taking care of myself, to pray to God daily and to read the Bible daily, and to start socializing more with the family members I have left. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Tom did come to you and I’m glad that you were able to experience his presence. My husband has came to me in my dreams a handful of times for a short period but then I wake up knowing he isn’t here. I’ve asked God over the years to let my husband come to me in any form so that I can have one last time to look into his eyes, to hold his hand, to feel his embrace, to hear his voice and most of all, to let me know that he is alright and living peacefully in God’s kingdom. My prayer hasn’t been answered yet and hope someday God will let me experience that one last time with my husband. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Popular Post Gail 8588 Posted January 10 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10 I have had a few dreams of my husband. They were very comforting to me. But I haven't seen him in a dream in a few years now. But one day, when I was awake and had been walking around a festival all day. I was tired and hungry and sitting on a bench. In the late afternoon light, I saw my husband walking up a hill coming toward me. He was wearing his regular comfortable clothes. His silhouette was exactly John, his gait was my husband's gait. He nodded a greeting to someone he recognized, exactly as John would do. My heart was racing. It was my darling husband walking up the hill to me, after he had been gone for so many years. I believed it was really him. Of course it wasn't. When the man got close to me, he wasn't my husband. He was a stranger. I sobbed. It was such a strange experience. I knew my husband was dead and had been dead for years. Yet when I saw this figure, I really believed he was somehow back, living, was about to go get a bite to eat with me. My heart and mind had absolutely accepted the impossible. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. The first time I received a sign from my husband was when I was depressed and in a lot of pain. I begged him for a sign and he came to me in the middle of the night. The second time I was in distress about the fight my son and daughter had. Last winter I just felt him all around me in our house. I heard him say (in my mind), “it’s pretty cool over here,” and that he was “good” and not to worry. Just my imagination? Maybe, but it gave me comfort. It still does. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that! Sometimes I find myself thinking I wish she was still here but if she was, in reality, she would not be in good health. 7 hours ago, Griefsucks810 said: I must move forward with my life by living each day for myself, taking care of myself, to pray to God daily and to read the Bible daily That’s where I am at right now. There are things I have convinced my self that I cannot do yet without Veronica, such as driving to TX to visit her or my family. Just can’t do it without her in the “co-pilot’s” seat next to me. Net yet, anyway. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Popular Post Sparky1 Posted January 10 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10 The other morning I had a split few seconds 'dream' of my wife. Her face wasn't really clear, but we were walking together and she said something about me being with her, and I said of course it's a million times better being with you. We kissed and then I woke up, and that contentment was indescribable, the joy I felt was unreal. It was a long while since I had dreamt of her. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Popular Post DotPark Posted January 13 Members Popular Post Report Share Posted January 13 I was in a room doing a jigsaw puzzle, and I had (mostly) closed the door to keep the cats out. I'm not a scaredy cat, I'm not afraid living alone. And I looked up from the puzzle at the door and got a chill imagining Tom opening the door, sticking his head in, saying a cheerful "How 'ya doing?" Haven't felt that chill in forever...maybe it WAS him. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are undoubtedly "open" to the impossible.... I haven’t seen a living man who looked like John until I was closer, though there have been times when I have thought how some stranger’s hair or shoulders or walk reminded me of him. But there have been a few times when my mind and heart played tricks on me here at home. The most vivid was only a few months after he died. I was pulling into the garage on “my” side. I swore I saw him over on his workshop side and my heart started beating fast. I was certain he was there and losing him had been a bad dream. I got out of the car and looked closer. That’s when I realized that it was his straw hat and workshop tool apron hanging on the hooks right where he left them. It was so real and then kind of eerie. Was he there for a moment? Maybe. To this day, his hat and apron still hang on hooks in there, but separate now so that I don’t keep having that same shock to my heart. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
