Hi, I had my first visit from a Robin today. It’s 4 mth since my husband R passed. Here’s why I believe it was a sign.
My bro-in-law G (R’s brother) rang asking if I was in and he’d pop in for a cuppa. Before he arrived I spoke out loud to R saying ‘your G is coming for a coffee if you want to be around to ‘see’ him’. Just as we started chatting in living room I spotted a robin outside the French doors. It landed on the wooden sleeper on raised lawn. He walked along then stood central to the doors looking towards us. I commented on how bright red his breast was and he was quite big. He stood there for quite a while not moving even when I got up to look. I sat down and he moved away then came back again looking through the doors at us.
His brother likes birds and feeds them unlike me so seemed very appropriate. Having often asked for and been given signs, I feel it was R letting us know he was there with us. It brought me great comfort x
@peterj this brought a smile at the end because I’m happy how it was between your feet looking up, that was definitely her 
A robin’s never been that extremely close to me so that was definitely her letting you know she’s by your side through this difficult time.
I hadn’t seen my best friend for months and months after Dad passed, and I was sat in her kitchen, her backdoor was open, and she made me laugh but I was saying to her how guilty I feel that I’m somewhat finding “content” moments again and laughing…
…and then, in that moment, I turned my head to look out the door into her back garden and sitting there, directly opposite me, perched on the fence, was a little Robin.
I immediately felt great comfort because I hadn’t seen one for a long time and I just know that was Dad sending it me because he’d heard my conversation with my friend, and he was letting me know it’s okay to laugh again and to keep seeing my friend and not feel guilty.
It was as though something made me turn my head at the precise moment because any second later and it wouldn’t have been there.
The Robin flew onto the fence, saw me looking at it, then flew off within seconds.
I love hearing people’s stories of Robin’s or white feathers and butterflies 
I always talk to Dad and ask him to keep sending me signs. It was only the other day I saw a few white feathers throughout the day.
I was watching the queen’s funeral service today, feeling very tearful ( I lost my wife 4 months ago) and the sadness of it all brought feelings rushing to the surface, then through my tears I spotted a Robin hopping about in the garden and I felt a sense of calmness. Was it a sign?
Absolutely @Andel.
I’m a great believer in Robin therapy, if such a thing exists - and if it doesn’t, it should!
How I agree with Wingingit as Robin therapy is wonderful. I have allotments and one of them is my husbands. I say ‘my husbands’ as I still feel he’s around. Sometimes I am working and a Robin will come very close to me and just sit watching but I have even had one sitting on the handle of the wheelbarrow. It’s my husband making sure I’m doing everything to his liking. I have been doing a job that my husband took very seriously and a Robin appeared and sat watching me very closely and even following me. He was there again keeping an eye on me.
Steffie88. I stayed the weekend with her brother and his wife. We went to a pub where we’d all been together when she was still here and sat in the garden. A robin appeared sitting on the branch of a tree directly opposite me. Stayed for quite a long time before flying away.
I’m sat by a river again and as I always do, I sent a text to Ian asking where ‘he’ was. To my amazement, I turned around and there was a robin! He’s sat just staring at me now. XJulie
I’m having a bad week and yesterday trudging back with the dog, head down I saw a white feather by my foot , then another and another all along the road, probably ten in all, I stopped walking , thinking what is this ? looked around and thought No ??? then another feather onto my drive, along the drive and another on my doormat, I thought he is with me when I’m really down and out, he’s here and blow me down, having breakfast this morning looking out into the garden, normally I’m in the kitchen, a robin is looking straight at me in the eye for at least three minutes and again I feel he’s here letting me know he’s with me, it lifted my spirits and gave me hope
Hi MAB
I’m pleased seeing all those white feathers and a robin has given you hope as it’s often in such short supply. I haven’t seen a robin recently as been away but hopefully on my return so will the robin.

I simply don’t believe any of it sorry , feathers are all around you if you look .
Not believing helps with the grief, if I believed on top of my grief I’d never become me again. I won’t let grief destroy me .
I think the thing is @Northumbrian54, we’re all different.
What helps one person cope with their grief and brings an element of comfort would/could have the complete opposite effect on someone else, or no effect whatsoever.
Whatever helps you cope and remain functional , providing it harms no-one, most of all yourself, is my mantra.
100% agree
I have saw a robin a few times since my partner passed, always gives me hope he is still with me and makes me feel comforted.

That’s so lovely.
Loved ones also communicate through whichever device we use more because I’ve noticed Robins randomly appearing on programmes and then when I watch my soaps I’ve noticed a few white feathers/butterflies in the episode and I felt great comfort. I even asked my mum one time if she noticed it because she watches it too, but she didn’t spot it, so I believe I was meant to see it.
And if you use your phone a lot, they’ll communicate via your phone, because you could be scrolling and then randomly see something with their fave song playing on it etc.
But it’s all down to the individual person and what you believe
Since Dad passed, I have a small business set up in his memory and one of the things I make are clay Robin heart keepsakes and I believe Dad communicates with me by sending me Robins. I went to visit him at the crem a couple of weeks back and then with the corner of my eye I spotted a Robin as I was leaving. If I hadn’t have looked at that moment, I’d have missed it - I had asked Dad to send me a sign and something made me notice it at that precise moment and I immediately felt comfort and knew it was Dad 
Hi yes we have to believe in any small way ,that our partners are watching over us and sending love to us ,on this very hard journey we have Infront of us .xtake carex
I firmly believe that Robins are a sign from our loved ones as are butterflies and white feathers.
We lost my beautiful niece to cancer eight years ago, she was 31!
This really happened, I was in the garden gently swinging on the hammock. The words came and I wrote this poem for her and to her.
I think she would like me to share it. It might resonate with some of you here. It’s called “Sitting With My Garden View”.
Sitting with my garden view
In peaceful tranquility thinking if you.
Flowers surround me
Scents fill the air,
Showing their colours
With artistic flare.
Sparkling like diamonds,
Water droplets, on petals glisten.
For your conversation,
Intently, I listen.
In the near distance
A Robin calls,
As I open my eyes
A white feather falls.
Sitting with my garden view
In peaceful tranquility thinking of you.
Now coming to rest
As softly as a sigh,
My beautiful butterfly
Lands near-by.
Wings opened wide
To catch the heat of the sun,
In a few very short moments
Our time will be done.
To say goodbye,
As if by command,
For a few seconds more
She settles on my hand.
A gentle flutter of delicate wings,
Floating off on the light summer wind.
This was definitely in your own unique way,
And left a feeling of solace,
As you flew you flew away.
People would choose not to believe,
Because for some,
It’s just to difficult to perceive
Sitting with my garden view
In peaceful tranquility thinking of you.
Just love the name you’ve chosen. CakeyNana. In all this sadness it made me smile.
Thank you peterj I’m glad it made you smile. It’s what I do and what I am
