Signs

As some of you already know my son died almost 4 years ago when he was 4.

it’s his birthday on Thursday. He would turning be 8. I can’t believe it’s been that long since he was born. I’ve been finding it hard to think about because he’s almost been gone as long as he was here. I didn’t think that thought would affect me as much as it has.

anyway he was obsessed with Buzz Lightyear. He LOVED Buzz & Toy story.
This morning I was walking to the bus stop with my kids and my daughter picked up this off the floor. Usually I don’t let her keep things she picks up but she handed me this.

I couldn't say no. I wanted to cry, I have never had strong beliefs about the afterlife, in fact, I don’t believe there is anything, but this feels like a sign from our angel. It just feels too coincidental not to be, especially so close to his birthday.❤

Has anyone else had any signs from loved ones?

Trust your own instincts, if that’s what it feels like to you who is anyone to tell you that is or isn’t the case? That will only ever be their interpretation and that isn’t important. Only yours is!

So sorry for your loss ❤, I became a mother myself this year, even thinking about that kind of loss makes me extremely tearful and anxious, it definitely does seem like a very strong sign and I hope it bought you some comfort

I personally haven’t had any ‘signs’ from loved ones, I suppose my biggest bereavement so far has been the loss of my sister at the age of 30 a couple of years ago, we are only a year apart in age so grew up very close, I’m still waiting for some signs but my mum swears she has had a few very strong ones from her, and she usually doesn’t believe in things like that

You poor thing. I am so sorry for your loss. Would you like to talk about him?
I’ve not really had any signs from anyone, but I really wish I could from my nan&grandad. God I miss them.

I’m so sorry for your loss, I truly wish you all the love in the world, especially during this difficult time of year. Your little lad had excellent taste, a fan of someone who cares about loyalty, values and protecting others. To infinity and beyond, Happy new year Xx

It is unfathomable really. People sometimes ask how it feels but it's really not something I can describe.

I'm so sorry for your loss too. I hope you get some signs soon. I didn't believe them either, and the rational part of me is saying that this is just coincidence and it may well be but it has given me some comfort at least.

People ask that a lot but I wouldn't know where to start with him! He was just the best kid, so happy all the time. I know it's cliche to say but his smile really did light up the room. I miss his laugh more than anything. I think it's getting harder because I'm starting to forget what it sounded like.

Sorry your your losses ❤

fly high with the angels little man

my partner lost his sister/my in laws their daughter to batons disease 20 years ago
we went last Boxing Day to lay some flowers for her and have a chat
as we turned to walk away it started to rain
we sheltered under a tree for the few minutes it took to stop and started to head home
about halfway back something made me turn round
and there was a rainbow-it started at where her grave would have been
i firmly believe it was her saying hi to us-and that she isn’t far away at all

I had a difficult time mentally when i was trying for my son , I had lost 2 babies and I just couldn't see any light at the end of the tunnel but throughout that time I kept finding feathers , seeing hearts in the sky which made it all a little bit more bearable.
After my dad died , again I find feathers and just random things will happen that will make me stop in my tracks. Not long after he died we moved and I was so scared that I'd lose his presence . When we got into our new place our neighbour introduced herself , her name was Sandy . My dad spent 22 years in the army and his nickname was Sandy , from the day he joined up to the day he died he never used his real name for anything other than official documents. I think that was his way of telling me it was ok to move on he will always be with me .

I lost my baby daughter when I was 17, she was born sleeping, we named her Lola, when I was pregnant with my son, I didn't want to do a test to prove it as I was terrified but everywhere I went there was a song on with Lola in the lyrics, I took it as a sign from her, whilst in labour with my son, a beautiful sunny winter's day, it randomly started snow then stopped as soon as he was born! I'm convinced she's by us in everything we do

I don’t honestly know what I believe as I’ve never experience any thing. That being said, if it helps you and makes you feel close to your son, that is absolutely all that ever matters.

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤ It must be incredibly difficult, especially on your son’s birthday, I hope you have lots of support in real life. Personally, I think it’s a beautiful sign. The night my grandpa died, he came to me in a dream. He was a wind soaring through the air above his homestead, a place he loved more than anything. We talked and he told me he was so happy he was finally free. I had no way of knowing he was going to die. My husband’d dead grandpa appeared to him as he was driving and screamed Stop!. This saved his life. Nobody knows what really happens after we die, and because so many people have strange experiences that bring them closer to their loved ones who passed away, there is no reason to reject the idea outright just because we have no scientific evidence of it. Wherever he is, I hope your boy is happy and free.

I'm so sorry for what you have been through ❤
I totally believe in signs. We suddenly lost my stepdad 18 months ago. Ever since then, I have noticed Robins so close to me and I genuinely believe it's a sign from him. Its usually when I am washing up (me and him would always do the washing up together) and I see them outside the kitchen window on the tree. Also when I have been in my daughter's bedroom, I have seen a Robin three times now just come to window ledge. Could be a coincidence, but it really comforts me. X

I lost my grandma in November and I'm still struggling to come to terms with it. I do however feel that her presence is around with us, out of nowhere I had a little white feather on my leg and I am so sure it was her.

I definitely think that was a sign for you and when these moments happen they are so special❤

My grandad, who I was incredibly close to, passed away very suddenly in July. One day I was on the phone to my nanny and said I could do with some extra money as one of my dogs had just had an operation and asked my Grandad if he could help me. Well a week later I got a tax rebate of over £600 and paid off the vets bill. Every birthday and Christmas he would put £5 in a card and would say ‘if I could give you more, I would’ I like to think that was his way of doing that. Now if only he could get his series 90 Land Rover we’ve inherited to work!
