Thanks for sharing that Mary. How wonderful of your Mom to give you that sign!

Gordon please do let us know how your visit to the medium goes. I'm very interested.

I don't think I ever told this story on here and for some reason I am compelled to tell it today.  I almost lost my mom back in 2004 when she was hospitalized for a broken hip and had surgery to replace it.  She received too much morphine and stopped breathing and the nurse did not catch it in time so her organs all shut down and she was in a coma for 21 days-given a 3% chance to survive.  After she totally recovered we had a talk one day and I asked her if she died before me and got to heaven and was happy if she'd send me a sign, the sign we agreed upon was a red balloon.  Two nights before my mom passed we had a wind and rain storm and as my son was standing at the back window he said, "a balloon" I immediately asked what color and he said red.  I jumped up looked out the window and saw it go over the neighbors house and back down again.  I called hospice to check on my mom and they said no change.  The next day I asked my neighbor if she found a red balloon in her yard and she said she saw something in the corner of the yard and would go take a look-sure enough it was a red balloon and after I told her the story, she brought it over to me. I placed it in a basket in our living room.  The morning after my mother passed away I was in our dining room looking for my digital camera.  I could not find it there so went to the back of the house to look in my bedroom.  When I came back out to the dining room that red balloon was sitting on the floor next to my chair. Noone else was home and somehow that red balloon made it over 30 feet out of a basket in my living room to my dining room!  I believe mom sent the sign! When I was feeling my lowest one day, I went out to the swimming pool so I could be alone and cry and it was a crystal clear day and as I lay on my float crying I said, "where are you mom?  Is heaven up there?  I miss you so much!"  and what happens... way up in the sky a red balloon floats by.  So I do believe in heaven, I know my mom is there, and I know she is happy and that is what gets me through each and every day!  Sorry this is so LONG!

For those of you listening out there... A fellow co-worker's mother passed in her sleep right after my mother died. She is grieving too. She talked me in to going to Los Angeles to see a psychic medium who charges a lot of money but is well known. I did not really want to spend the money to go or discuss my loss because I really don't believe in psychics. But my mother did. So I do want to at least open that door and see what is behind it. My mother once told me she talked with a Medium and believed she was an old soul. I felt that was kinda ironic because she is a devout Christian. She said one day after she was gone I would find out more about what went on. I asked my father if there was anything in her will or left behind, yet there was nothing. So for her, and for support of my grieving co-worker, I am scheduled to see a Medium in a few months. I will keep you posted, but I will need more than their is someone here whose name starts with a "T" to convince me. I guess I have nothing to lose by trying.

I just didn't know because we tried to get her to squeeze our hands but she couldn't, but I heard hearing is the last to go, so I hoped and prayed that she did.

I believe she heard me, she would squeeze my hand and her eyes would move under her eyelids.  when that would happen I would say, "That's right Mom!  you were amazing"  or "That's right Mom, I'm going to take care of dad for you just the way you want.  You taught me how to take care of him, what he needs and likes, and i'll do so you don't have to worry." 

I believe, Jennifer, that your mom heard you, the sound entered her ear and traveled through her brain to her heart.

Lisa, that's so great that happened, that she gave you a sign! I think I may have been to torn up to notice anything. Once the doctor told us the bad news, every time I talked to her, I broke down and cried.

Jennifer, I'm sure she heard you. If you read one of my earlier posts you will see why I really believe she heard you. My Mom gave me proof that she heard me.

I've been sitting here thinking about my mom and her last days on earth..and I'm still seeking 'closure' I guess you could say. My mom was in a coma for three weeks and I often wonder if she heard me..I apologized for a lot of things and I made sure that I told her I loved her many times a day, but never knew if she heard it! Ughh I miss her so much, it literally hurts my heart!

Michael, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom's passing! Your post was very beautiful and she was very lucky to have you there with her! I'm sure that was very comforting!

Michael, I'm very sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I'm sure that she was comforted by all the things that you were doing for her.

Brad, it was the same with my Mom. She had severe alzheimers & her passing was directly linked to that. The death certificate does not say alzheimers, which kind of bugs me, because the cause that they have listed would not have happened had it not been for the alzheimers. I feel like people don't understand alzheimers. Until they start listing it as the cause of death it won't get the attention or funding for research that it deserves. I don't sleep much either. It really hits me hard when I go to bed. All I do is think about Mom & what a lonely world it is without her. Mom would be telling me to get on with my life too!! I am trying :( For a couple of weeks after Mom's passing, I couldn't even stand to have the TV on. It seemed so trivial & the sound of anything really bothered me. That has gotten a liitle better. I can have the TV on unless I get upset. Then I just want to sit in a dark room & cry. I'm thankful for the wonderful people on this site to share with.

(Part 2)
My mother, your mother, our mothers have all taught us those important things in life. From tying your first shoelace, to hopping on your first bike on your birthday, to that complicated Algebra Test, or to that complicated project you needed a. Second opinion on. Now my mother had one last thing to teach me, and that is how to handle the death of someone extremely close to your heart. She would say, "Life is what you make of it." so with those words of wisdom, keep your mother always close to your heart. Keep talking with her as you would with God, and continue your personal relationship with her going strong -- even if it is now on another level or plane of existence. For there are times when I really do feel as if she is still right there with me, guiding me as she always has. But most of all... I can still feel the warmth of her love.

You take care, and bless you all.
