Pennies from heaven or no?
I use to tell this story before my husband died.
I was visiting a friend and her young sons parakeet passed away while we were there. He was so upset. I told him a story about "pennies from heaven" and every time you find a penny it's from your parakeet who has joined your grandpa in heaven. His little face lit up and he said "they're togther?" I told him he would soon find a penny and he would know they were saying hello
That night we took the kids to midnight "glow" bowling. As we walked out of the bowling alley well after midnight......we found a whole bunch of pennies scattered on the sidewalk in front of us. He gathered and counted 32 pennies.
Coincidence? I don't know....but it sure brought him comfort.
And no.....no one owned up to doing it
I have had other experiences since my husband passed away. I don't care if it's real or not. It makes me feel better to believe.....isn't that all that matters?

Thank you Hazel :)
This past Mother's Day I woke up feeling sorry for myself not having my husband there to bring me flowers. After I laid there and cried a bit I put my feet on the floor and at the door saw a tiny little flower.....a weed really....lol. Maybe the cat brought it in on her tail?
I wasn't a dozen roses, but I loved it and I totally believe it was him.
I smiled the rest of the day.
When ya think about it...we're lucky gals to have husbands that would work so hard to still make us happy. Whatever helps.

Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More

LESBIAN ..GAY 2 SPIRITED loss and grief
Anyone who has lost their gay partner..soon finds that there may be a few things that are different...such as sorting through things and feeling like an intruder because it is also family stuff etcSee More
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
