Do you believe in the afterlife?
 
The reason I ask is that at the end of my Mother's funeral on the 25th something weird happened, As we were getting ready to load our car with flowers a wild rabbit (Being chased by 2 Beagles) ran right into my sister-in-laws feet, Looked around for a second and then ran off.

That was weird considering even the funeral home director saw it and mentioned it was a sign from our Mom from the otherside letting us know everything will be alright.

My sister Lesa (Who was unable to attend due to medical reasons) has noticed that one red rose she has in a vase keeps changing position, She thought it was her cats messing with it but she put the vase up outta the kitties and the same thing continued...Lesa told me about it and I laughed at her because she never knew Mom loved red roses, So much we had rose bushes aound our housewhen we were growing up.

Just the other night as I talked to Lesa about Mom no sooner did I say Mom's name and Lesa said her living room grew cold and her PC crashed for no apparent reason...All I could say to that was "Isnt that weird?" (Lesa isnt knowledgeable in the things of Fleetwood Mac)

My older brother Geary left our home for his home on Tuesday and on his trip home his truck started acting weird. He stopped at a gas station to get some fuel for his Surburban and bought his family lunch and when he went to start his truck it would not even start up, He checked everything and didnt have a clue...So the gas station attendant gave him a boost and his truck temp gauge maxed out for no apparent reason...So he loosen the radiator cap figuring built up pressure caused the problem with the gauge (The excessive fluid overflowed into the overflow container). So he decided to try to make it home and said he said out loud jokingly "Are you trying to send us a message Mom?" and the next thing he knew was his truck's problems seemed to have disappearred...Maybe our Mom is playing jokes on us from the otherside, So have any of y'all had anything similar happen after losing a loved one? And did it seem like they're sending you a message that everything will be alright?

:angel: i do very much believe, my dad passed when i was 16 & he wore a certain cologne & sometimes i can smell that scent when no 1 is around me & my hubby doesn't wear that brand of cologne~ i always believe that it is my daddy letting me know that he is watching over me & my little family :angel: ~

Yes, I do believe in the afterlife. I don't remember anything odd happening after my Mom passed away, however.

Well, actually I did have something odd happen when she died. I was trying to get out of an appointment with a friend and I remember dreaming that my Mom told me that " I know that it is awful but at least you don't have go tonight now." A few minutes later my Dad was knocking on me bedroom door that something was wrong with my Mom. She had passed already. The really odd thing that I remember was that night just a few short hours before she was really happy and smiling. I think that she already knew.

Define "afterlife." :)

Awwww...
 
I think your mom is most definitely trying to tell her family that she is still with you spiritually and watching over ya. :)

Yes, I have heard that this a sign when you smell something that was some what associated with them.

wondergirl9847 03-31-2005 07:44 PM

Well..
 
Being a Christian and seeing/experiencing things that are unexplainable, I most definitely believe in the after life. I believe in Heaven and Hell. I also believe in angels, and that the people who've passed already are still with us here, for various reasons.

My mom had a weird experience once on the way to pick me up from work. She told me after she picked me up that she had looked in the rear view mirror and saw a man's face. She said she wasn't scared and was peaceful after she saw him. I believe this was either her angel or her baby brother who died as an infant. :)

I don't believe it any of that stuff. When you die, you die. But I have an odd little story.

I used to have three cats. The oldest cat was Maxie and she was sweet and loveable and had to be put down. Nothing weird happened after that. My second oldest cat was super smart. She would kitty-talk all the time and played mind**** games like purposefully running in front of me to try to trip and just generally piss me off. She was polydactyl and very independant and quite the character- very smart. My third cat is part siamese and a complete and utter dope. She is sooooo dumb. So much so, that I think she's a little bit of a kitty retard- ya know, her brain seems to shut down and she just sits there frozen.

Anyways.... ever since my second cat was put down, the dopey cat has started to manifest many of the characteristics of her. I can't explain it and it's very strange. She's talky/gabby and does all these things that my other used to do.

I'm attributing it to the fact that dopey probably is sowing her oats now that she's the top kitty. In any case, it's weird.

I believe that people send messages from the other side. I know someone who has meet and worked on a case with a "medium." This person didn't believe that such things were possible either, until they worked with the medium, and the medium proved herself over and over again. Also, not to sound corny, but the show "Medium" is based on a real person, also. Therefore, I believe people send message from the other side, if you're perceptive enough to notice them, which obviously you are. :angel:

After my hubby died, and I moved into a new house, my outdoor lightbulbs on either side of the garage kept burning out. No sooner then I would replace one, the other would go out. This happened about 6, 8 times within a couple of months. Someone suggested Jason was messing with me. So, when I went to replace another burnt bulb, I told him to "leave 'em the f*ck alone..." Needless to say, I haven't replaced a bulb since. There was a couple of times in the past 2 years (I can't believe it's been that long) that I've wondered aloud where something was, and I clearly hear his voice in my head telling me where to look. Sure enough, it's where I'm told to go. Yes, I absolutely believe in the afterlife.
