In reply to the discussion: The strangest and most beautiful thing happened today at mom's funneral. [View all]kimbutgar
(23,280 posts)13. I got chills reading your post
Both my parents have passed on but they sent me messages via strange things happening that they were ok.
When my Father died, the next day my sister and I were sitting in the living room of the house we grew up in and a mouse ran across the room stopped and stared at us for over a minute standing up. We both at the same time said thats Dad saying goodbye.
I was with my Mother when she passed and was holding her hand. I told her Id be ok and then she died. I felt her spirit go through me as I felt a warmth and a feeling of being hugged.
