For those of us who are grieving, holidays and special occasions can be bittersweet and very painful, as we wish our loved ones were right here beside us celebrating too.
However, from my spiritual work and own personal experiences, as well as thousands of others I have ministered to since 1998, I have come to learn that our loved ones in Heaven are like angels on our shoulders now. They would never miss an important occasion in our lives, because our special occasions are important to them too!
Loved ones will often let us know that they are right there celebrating with us by the many different “signs” they will give us. For instance:
Christmas – a tree ornament that you connect to them, may be the only one to fall off your tree. Or your Christmas tree lights might suddenly start flashing on and off when you walk into the room.
Hanukkah and Birthdays – a candle might start to wave wildly at you, as if to say, “Hi, I am here with you always.”
Although our loved ones are around us watching over us, and gently guiding us, especially during holidays and special occasions, they will let us know they are with at other times in our lives too.
Some afterlife signs to be on the lookout for that are listed in my book, God’s Gift of Love: After-Death Communications are:
1. Dreams that are comforting.
2. Visions of a loved one.
3. Pets and children can see spirits. Pets will visit us from Heaven too.
4. Audio & Music – you may hear their voice or their favorite song.
5. Godincidences – those coincidences that seem to be directed by Heaven.
6. Telepathic Thoughts.
7. Scents of your loved one.
8. Touches that are gentle.
9. Presence – feeling their strong presence at that moment in time.
10. Electrical Manipulations of TVs, lights, radios, garage doors.
11. Computers sending photos or music or emails from a loved one.
12. Phone calls, texts, answering machines messages, caller IDs from loved ones.
13. Photos that fall.
14. Objects that belong to them that suddenly show up.
15. Gifts from someone unexpectedly received on a special occasion.
16. Coins that mysteriously appear out of thin air.
17. Butterflies, dragonflies, birds, animals, insects that act like they know you.
18. Rainbows, shooting stars, and special cloud formations.
19. Numbers, license plates, and receipts that have significance to you.
20. Candles that suddenly start waving to you, or come on by themselves.
Because these “signs” are often experienced after praying for one, I believe they are a gift from God’s heart to replace our heart’s sorrow with tender moments of joy. To remind us that our loved ones can still see and hear us and are just a thought away. So keep on talking and writing letters to your loved ones, for they love the communication from you! Never feel guilty about smiling and having joy in your heart again! This is what they want for us, because it gives them even more joy to see us feeling joy!
May God bless and comfort you.
