Re: Signs
Less, I know it is hard to believe these things......but when my Ma was diagnosed with Cancer my Dad had been dead for a good 9 years...maybe more....so I wasn't in the throes of grief....and while you may say that I was in a kind of grief, having Ma diagnosed with cancer......I am a pragmatist and in times such as these look to the practical.....I had actually booted up the computer to look at the kind of treatment that ma would be offered....so I was shocked to the core to see the blue screen...which i initially thought there was something wrong with the computer......the message in the box stayed on the screen for a good 10 seconds......I thought I was going nuts...especially as my dad never subscribed to such things...his thoughts were once you are gone...well, thats it.
I truly have no explanation for the experience......and there have been more 'shared' experiences...the last one only 18 months ago.
So while I accept your scepticism...and your opinion.....I know what I have seen....and heard.

Re: Signs
I have had several experiences which were and still are very special to me. I don't feel that here is the place to describe them and open them up to ridicule. I know what I experienced and I know what I believe. That is enough for me.

Re: Signs
Some lovely stories and I also think it is our loved ones supporting us. As for my signs, when Ian had his allotment he used to pot his seedling and put them in my airing cupboard to propogate(not something I was happy about because there was soil all over my stairs) Not long after he died there was soil just outside the now redundant airing cupboard and I also found one of his markers. There is no way that soil was there all that time. He wasn't fit for his allotment last year. In the early hours of this morning one of the guests on here was looking at a thread and I clicked onto it. Anyway it was called something like "The Dash Of Life", not many people had contributed to it only Ianto and Willow I think but it sure makes me think he is around me.

Re: Signs
I was working in Carlisle back in 1975, had just finished for the day at about 9-30pm and was stood at the bar in the hotel when I got this very cold shiver down my spine, it lasted for about 60 seconds. About 30 minutes later I recieved a phone call from my mother telling me that my Grandmother had died, I asked what time and she said just after 9-30pm, very strange

Re: Signs
Took me ages to find this thread!!
Anyway, just wondred what peoples opinnion on this is?
I had a dream last night, and in it was my lovely sister (passed away in June), and my Grandad, (passed away a good few years ago).
I was getting out of a taxi on a street I did not recognise, with my mum, one of my brothers and Phil, my partner. As we were getting out I noticed my sister on the other side of the road pushing a pram! I asked my mum, why is Trish over there pushing a pram and she just laughed at me. I was so upset that I ran off towards a house at the bottom of the street. On the way, my sister caught my hand and said, It's ok now Gail, she can't and won't upset you anymore! she then took me in the house and left me sat on a chair. When I turned around, my Grandad was sat in another chair and smiled at me and said, don't worry about anything now, your doing ok.
Then I woke up!!
Can anyone tell me what this means please? I'm realy confused because I don't know if it was just a dream or it was meant to mean something.
Gail xxxx
