Loss of our son aged 27

Dear Victoria
Thank you for your kind reply.
Love to all
Ann :heart:

Dear Victoria
As you say there are so many things we don’t understand, but which give us hope.
Like visiting robins!
Three years ago my friend lost her daughter, early in the year. They asked people to wear something purple at the funeral as it had been her favourite colour. That spring, their garden was full of wild violets. They had never had them before.
Katherine liked snakeshead fritillaries, quite an unusual flower, and had a big clump she was proud of. I never grew them, never had any. Two days ago I found one almost hidden in my garden. No neighbours have them. Where did it come from? Did Kath send it for me? I hope so.
Much love, Ann :heart:

Dear friend. Lisa was a florist. A highly successful wedding florist, in fact worldwide she was sought after in relation to the Highland Wedding experience.
After her passing a dear friend sent us a climbing rise called Lisa. Whilst we were planting it, Brooke included a Robin was hopping around us the entire time! Really close, watching what we were doing the whole time.

What keeps me going is our wonderful granddaughter Brooke. This is her at our elder daughters this weekend. She is a professional artist. She has a studio I her garden and has set up a personal work station for Brooke when she visits! Bless the little soul.
Lots of live to you.

On a similar vain to the last few messages. In the 7 years since I lost my son I’ve dreamt about him 100s of times. Usually forgotten by morning. But on at least 4 or5 occasions. I’ve had the most surreal dreams where I can only describe it like he’s been to see me in my sleep. Wether you are a believer or not is not up for question. I can only feel what I felt and go with that experience.

He fell asleep at the wheel of his car and crashed on a desolate moorland road. No one else involved. In one of the dreams I’m sat in the car with him. We are stationary parked up at the crash site. He’s explaining to me what happened. He’s talking to me in a post incident way. Telling me what has already happened. When I woke up I was crying. I could recall every single detail. The smell of the upholstery in the car. In was night time and the engine was running. I can recall what he was wearing and every word we spoke. He told me. He’d had a really long day and he didn’t recall falling asleep. He just remembered waking up when it was all over and he realized he was on the other side.

Another dream we were stood out in a field on a summer’s day. And in the distance two of his friends came running towards us shouting my son’s name. As they got closer my son turned to me and said. This is what I have to put up with dad. They are coming to warn me about the crash. But what they don’t understand is. I’m already gone dad. It’s to late. He then gave me a big hug. I could smell him and feel him. Then he disappeared. I know it may sound farfetched. But always the morning after I can recall absolutely every single detail. It hasn’t happened in a long time but in the first year or two I can only describe it that he’s been to see me.
In all the dreams I’ve had of a similar nature he always disappears just as I wake. It usually takes me a few days to get over the dream as it’s like I had him again just for a few glancing moments but then he’s snatched away. He has convinced me that he is ok and I’m not to worry. Ok. Thanks for listening. Jim

Dear Jim
Thank you so much for sharing this.
I do believe, but there is just so much we don’t understand yet.
I hope it’s a consolation to you that your son IS ok, and you will see him again.
With love :heart:

Thanks Ann. I have always believed I will get to see him again. I’ve been to see a clairvoyant twice and she told me stuff only I would know about him. I know some are sceptical. I was probably one of them. But I would swear on all of my experiences. Jim.

Dear Jim,

That is the most poweful way they can visit you, they don’t mean to scare you but can let you know they are OK, it’s called visitation dreams and they are very powerful. Like you Jim I have had them from Sam. I can always tell when Sam is about, and daft as this may sound I have some shells on my bathroom windowsill and whenever he is around they get moved about. I was told by a medium to talk out loud to Sam as they can hear you and they watch over you.
With love

Thanks Helen. It’s funny. It’s not a thing I talk about to other people as they tend to think you are just imagining things or they just laugh at you. My son is called Sam as well. Since he’s been gone we have all manner of things happen in this house . In the beginning it used to frighten the life out of me to the point I would be shaking. But things happen in the house that often that my wife and myself don’t even bother anymore we just mention it to each other. It’s even to the point I can be in the house on my own and there are noises like someone else is in the house. I mean don’t get me wrong it’s not like a episode of Scooby Doo. But there is definitely a presence every so often. Jim

Dear Jim, thank you so much for telling us about your dreams. I was spellbound. I have had a few times when I am sure that Gemma has come back k to me briefly. One day, a few days after we lost her, I was distraught and said out loud ‘Gems where are you?’ and immediately I heard her say ‘I’m here Mum!’ It was undeniably her and I am tearful now as I remember it.
I too saw a psychic healer and she was amazing. As soon as I sat in front of her she said to me ‘you have lost a child haven’t you’ and she knew details of what happened to Gemma and also what was going on in my life at the time. I was so paranoid about being tricked that I had used a false name!
I came away feeling so comforted.
There is so much we do not understand but we are able to be honest on here and talk openly about how we feel xxx

Thanks Victoria. When I went to see the clairvoyant it was a good while after the event. Probably about a year. I won’t go into details but my son didn’t have a mark on his body after the crash apart from the back of his head. ( The car ended up on its roof). When I got to the mediums house I didn’t give her a name . She opened the door and invited me in before we got to her front room she said . I’ve got a young man hear something has happened to the back of his head. She went on to tell me the exact time of the crash and the colour of the car. This was before I’d even sat down. I sat with her for an hour and she told me about a dog we had years ago when Sam was a little lad the dog was called frank. She told me the dogs name and said they were now together again. She went on to tell me lots of personal stuff that she couldn’t possibly have known. I haven’t told anyone any of this before apart from my wife.

Thank you again Jim.
It’s so good that we can talk openly on here, other people might find it weird.
It’s good to try to support with love and sympathy those having a bad time, but it’s also good to share uplifting stories that give us such hope.

Hi Jim,

I too saw a medium called Marcus, he was absolutely brilliant. He said to me when I went Sam’s over there (meaning the other side) and he’s met up with Ben. My sister in law lost her son in a freak football accident the year before it made the news.
he was tackled and it had been raining and he ended up sliding on his backside and hit the clubhouse wall with his head, stood up then collapsed and died 3 days later in hospital. Clive my brother in law when I mentioned about the shells and the dreams said if you had told me that before Ben had passed I wouldn’t have been rude but would have listened but not believed, now I know the truth.

I shall see Marcus again this year but I talk out loud to Sam and he answers. The one thing I will always be thankful for is the 34 years I had him in my life. As he was going into a coma (he died of a brain tumour) I said I love you Sam and he replied love you too.

Love Helen

Thanks Helen. I’ve had people in my house . Other family members when things have happened and they’ve seen it with their own and still they won’t believe. But all I can say is. If you know,you know.

Dear Jim, I had a very similar experience. I don’t want to go into details but my daughter took her own life, after suffering from post natal depression. The things that the psychic healer told me no one else could have known. I talk to Gemma and always say a particular phrase to her. She repeated this phrase back to me, word for word. She gave me so much peace. Like you, I don’t tell people because it would feel awkward but here I feel among kindred spirits xxx

Thanks Victoria. I wish I was clairvoyant I’d be talking to him everyday and asking him what the hell he’s playing and does he have any idea of the void he’s left.

It’s so lovely to hear about your exsperiance s with your loved ones . How could there not be an afterlife , as all our children have let us some way they are still with us. And it’s so comforting . The best exsperiance was the Ouija board we did with Sarah my Daughter . Dawn told us everything , it was like a phone line to Heaven . I didn’t want it to end . It was unbielivable. Can’t wait to do it again in June . Even last December on her 5th anniversary , I went to pull the blind in the bedroom , and her photo slid off the dresser … But like you have all said when you tell people , you can see them sneer at you . . But we know better. Maddie xx

Dear friends,
Some of you know our son was in the army on operations in Malawi training the African park rangers, it was to protect the Elephants against poachers, he tragically lost his life following an attack from an Elephabt. A few weeks before the accident he kept sending us messages and pictures of a dragonfly which kept sitting on his leg or beside him it came to see him over 3 days , my fatherinlaw had recently passed away and we said it’s grandpa visiting you, he then told us that he had the most vivid dream that he was with his grandpa and he had hugged him, he said when he woke in the morning he felt tearful and very emotional as it seemed so real, we have had many encounters since Matt’s passing involving dragonflies, I do share these with others as I love to talk about it, if I didn’t think Matt was with us I wouldn’t be able to go on, our children will never leave us :heart::pray:
Love to all Michelle xxxx

Zoe, it is strange that music came on.
Lisa loved watching the series Keeping Faith in fact she was watching it the night before she passed. The music Faith’s song came on my car radio on the Sunday morning that’s 3 days after her passing. I was taking the dogs for a long walk.
When I got back to the car, I turned on the engine and it came on again! A couple of days later I was going shopping, turned on the ignition and the radio came on and again Faith’s Song! I know that was our Lisa. It couldn’t just be coincidence as the dj’s wouldn’t play the same song on two separate programmes.
My friend who lost her husband in a private plane crash had the same experience.
Love to you Zoe.
