Forever Dear

“Those we love don't go away. They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near still loved, still missed, and forever dear.” (Anonymous)

When life in the physical realm ends, love and energy continue on. If your loved one reaches out to let you know they are okay, don’t be surprised. Your deceased loved one may decide to connect with you in ways that are both different (and familiar) from what you might expect. The signs below can bring you comfort in acknowledging you are not alone, and that the soul lives on.

·        Feeling their presence: Do you feel like your loved one is looking out for you? That they are still with you and watching over you? How might you feel their presence? There are quite a few ways. You may sense a shift in the air, feel like you’re being watched, or you just get a strong feeling of their presence which lets you know that they are with you. You could also feel your loved one sitting next to you, or gently touching some part of your body.

 
·        Moving objects or placing them in your way: Even from beyond the physical, your loved one is able to move objects to get your attention. This sign may take a couple of forms. Either they move objects of yours, like flipping over a picture, moving a piece of clothing into an odd location, or causing something to fall as a way of getting your attention.  

Dimes and pennies, crystals or stones, feathers, flowers and keys are common examples of the types of objects deceased loved ones may move onto your path. You may receive objects other than these that are somehow significant to your loved one like seashells (if they loved the beach), paintbrushes (if they were an artist), or even screws and nails (if they were a builder).

 
·        Showing up as an Insect or animal: They are able to channel their energy into an insect or animal (for a brief period of time) to bring you a sign that their spirit lives on. They may appear to you in this way as a butterfly, dove, rabbit, dragonfly, or any other number of insects or animals. When this happens, the animal or insect will usually do something that is out of character that catches your attention.  

They may land on your hand, come into your home, or appear closely, right in front of you as if they are communicating. This is a common type of communication. If something like this happens to you, trust that your loved one is with you, and letting you know that they are okay, and that you are not alone.

 
·        Smelling their signature scent: Did your loved one smoke, wear a certain fragrance, make the best chocolate chip cookies, or enjoy preparing you a certain type of food? When a scent like this happens for no reason, you’re experiencing a sign that your loved one is with you.

“No matter what, you’re going to lose people in your life. Realize that no matter how much time you spent with someone, or how much you appreciate them. Sometimes it will never seem like it was enough.” (www.livelifehappy.com)

 
·        Strange electrical occurrences: An underlying energy flows throughout all of existence. Your loved ones (who are now pure energy) are able to easily tap into this energetic flow to get your attention. For this reason, one of the most common signs from spirit happens when those from beyond the physical play with electricity.

There are a number of ways they can do this, like causing the lights to flicker, turning the TV, radio, or lights on or off. They can also cause appliances, phones, devices or kids toys to beep for no known reason, or turn on without being touched. They may even call you on the phone from an unknown number… And then when you answer there is only static or nothing on the other end at all.  


·        Synchronicity:  Have you experienced an increased number of coincidences and synchronicities after your loved ones death? They very well may be pulling some strings from the realms of spirit to help things line up for you in your life. Your loved ones can assist you in aligning with chance meetings, new opportunities, and with attracting new friends. A slight variation of this is synchronicity in the forms of signs. Are you thinking of your deceased aunt Emma while driving, and suddenly a huge sign for Emma’s Shoe Shop appears? When something synchronistic happens in your life and you just get the feeling your loved one was somehow involved. Chances are they were right in the middle of it.


·        They communicate a message: While a loved one can’t audibly speak to you because they are not a physical being anymore. They are able to communicate with you telepathically. Pay attention to the thoughts which just pop into your head when you’re doing something else as this is a common way in which you loved one in may reach out.

Especially if it sounds like something your loved one would say, or brings you a message of love, encouragement, or answers a question in a voice which does not sound like your own. When you ask them a question and then receive a response, it’s highly likely that this is actually a message from them. Another slight variation of this is when a certain song seems to start playing in your mind out of nowhere. Listen to the lyrics, and tune into the message. The song may even play on the radio at just the right time.

Your loved ones can use other people to deliver their messages too. You may overhear a bit of someone’s conversation, or someone in your life may be inspired with a message of guidance or reassurance that is actually a message from your loved one. You could even be thinking of your loved one right before noticing a bumper sticker on a car, which brings you a message.

 
·        Visions: Seeing a full on vision of your deceased loved one is one of the least likely ways to receive a sign from them. If it does happen, it will be a sign that you cannot dispute. I think the main reason more people don’t see their dead loved ones as apparitions; is because your loved ones intention is to comfort you, and let you know they’re okay.

They do not want to scare you with a ghostly appearance. There are other ways in which you can receive a vision from a loved one. It is very common to see them through a vivid memory. This type of mental vision of your loved one will happen almost like you’re imagining them. It will appear seemingly out of nowhere. Orbs are another common way in which your loved ones may appear visually through photographs. Keep in mind taking a picture into direct sunlight, or in a dusty atmosphere can also cause orbs to appear.  

 
·        Visitation dreams: Dreams are one of the most common ways in which your deceased loved ones will reach out to connect with you. Visitation dreams from your loved ones are much different than normal dreams. For starters, they are incredibly vivid, and real.

When you wake up from a true visitation dream you will know you were contacted by your loved one. The main focus of visitation dreams is communication. Your loved one will likely relay a message, and let you know that they are okay. They will appear healthy, and vibrant (regardless of their state when they died) and after sharing their love with you, and communicating a message, the dream will end.


Death is not the end. It is a new beginning for those we have lost where they are greeted by the familiar faces of old family, friends, and pets who have passed on long before them. It is an amazing transition to a new world called, “Heaven.” (Matthew Fraser) [i]
