Our Departed Loved Ones Communicate with Us From the Other Side — the Question is Do We Hear Them?
Common signs from loved ones
The issue is whether those receiving the messages are open enough to hear them and believe that they are actual communications from their loved ones.
I have grappled with this in my personal life. I am skeptical by nature, and while I believe in life after death, I don’t automatically believe signs are anything more than coincidences. It has to be a loud and clear sign for me to know it is from spirit.
A personal message from beyond
Several years ago my best friend lost her mother. I was devasted for my friend, I was also hit hard by her mom's passing, she had been like a mom in many ways to me too. I was visiting my friend, staying at her house. One day, I was alone in the apartment and needed a needle and thread.
I had sensed my friend's mom was around so I asked her out loud if she knew where my friend kept her sewing kit. I was directed to a closet, reached my hand in, and pulled one out.
Later I told my friend about it, and she gave me a surprised look, she said the sewing kit wasn't hers, it was her mom's.
