I have said many times that I don't really believe in an afterlife, even though I've  had dreams that I can not explain, but earlier I experienced the strangest thing, I was sitting on my sofa reading a news paper when a drop of water dropped on to the paper, then my dog started acting strange he seemed a little spooked, he was looking from one end of the room to another in a bizarre way, I checked the ceiling and it was dry it could not have fell from there, anyway I just googled water drops from nowhere and discovered that many people believe that they are signs of tears of a loved one telling you they are with you, I really, really hope this is true I can't tell you all how much I hope I've just experienced a so called sign, Ive had many strange dreams of Andy with I felt were real, but nothing physical like this, I had an horrendous day at the beach a couple of days a go, so maybe Andy is trying to tell me it's ok and he's here, yes I know I sound crazy but I am going to believe, I need to believe xx

Cooper, thankyou for telling me your experience,  I love that you can sometimes feel him holding you, I would love that, I find that so wonderful it made my eyes tear up, love to you xxx 

Alice, I cannot explain that drop of water, all I know is it came out of thin air, it could not have came from anywhere, and I know that for certain,  I really hope it was from Andy I love him so much, can I ask what sign you received if you don't mind sharing it, I know that somethings are so personal to people so I understand if you don't want to, thankyou for your lovely comment.xxxxx

Joanne, I think it was a beautiful sign.  I'm so glad he sent it to you! 

You said maybe you sound crazy... maybe we all do.  But like you, I choose to believe, because I need to believe. 

Billy Jo, I, too, have received a sign with smell.  It was shortly after my husband died and we had no money.  I was praying for help, and thinking to myself, Mark, what do I do now?  I had the strongest smell of his cologne.  It's very unique.  I ended up checking his wardrobe to make sure the bottles were still intact, and they all were.  I was so sad and wanted to go through his wallet to look at all the pics he had in it, as it was sitting beside the cologne bottle.  I had checked it weeks before for any cash.  I ended up finding $80 in it, in plain view.  It helped get us through.  But his cologne scent had been so strong and that was over the smells of dinner.  It lasted about 10 minutes.  I haven't smelled it since, but there are times I can feel him holding me... usually when I'm terribly upset.  It feels real. 

Thanks so much to you both for writing about what happened!  It gives me great hope!

Thankyou Billy Jo, for telling me your experience,  I too like you would have instantly have looked for a scientific reason but I just have a feeling it was something more, I didn't even think about looking at the story or word the drip landed on, and I have thrown out the newspaper so I can't check, but I will remember if it happens again. I send you my hugs too xxx

Hi Joanne, what you experienced, I would say is a definite sign. Four weeks after my girlfriend died. I got the strongest scent of Carnations in my hallway. I mean like a thousand Carnations. I have no flowers or plants in my home and no Carnations in my garden. I am totally blind and she knew that the only sing I could relate to was one of smell. I've had the scent of her perfume when I go to bed. Not often but it's there for a few minutes. I long for it to last forever but it doesn't. I always kept an open mind about signs after death but never considered them very valid until it happened to me. Another close friend died last year and now and again I can smell her perfume. In years past, I could also smell Heinz tomato soup or a particular type of Ciggerette smoke. I put that down to neighbourhood ambiance. Not any more. I know they were signs from my parent's and Brother. I honestly would have given you some scientific reason for the signs before the Carnation scent. It wasn't my imagination, it was real and it lasted at least 20 minutes. Then it was gone completely. There is nothing that can do that, nothing earthly Please take it as a sign and related to the beach. If it happens again, pay attention to the story the drip fell on. Take care. hugggs

Assumptions

An assumption is an unexamined belief: what is thought to be true without ever really realizing that we think in that way. For better or worse, understanding starts with entertaining the idea that something is true.  Truly profound thoughts generally come to light from the relaxation of these (flawed) assumptions.  This is where I find myself today...Perhaps, one of the more significant drivers to pushing down the loss and grief at the time of the accident, ignoring it and mindlessly walking…See More
