UPDATE 9/10/2023:
This
site is currently under reconstruction
as my hosting company went out of business without informing
any of their customers. Obviously I obtained a new hosting, but I lost
access to many of my files as the backups are split between a few old
computers and will take some time to locate.
Not long before the hosting surprise, my husband and father had both
been diagnosed with different terminal illnesses. As their illnesses
progressed, so did my free time. Rebuilding a website is no small task,
so it had to take a back seat to my main priorities of caring for Mark,
helping my parents, caring for our rescued animals (Shelties and
squirrels), caring for our home and working full time.
Then on August 17, 2022, my
father returned home to God.
Then just
3 months later, my
husband joined him.
Needless to say, it's been a bit overwhelming to lose the 2 most
important men in my life in such a short period of time. While I knew
they would pass relatively close together, I certainly wasn't expecting
it to be a mere 3 months apart. Of course I'm sad, but I'm still
grateful to God for blessing me with
the most wonderful father and husband imaginable. I had my father for
my entire 50 years of life and I had my husband for over 25 years (with
nearly 32 years together in total).
They say there's 7 stages of grief, with anger being one of them. But
that stage doesn't exist for me because I know (not just believe... I
know) beyond a shadow of doubt that life and love continue to exist.
Mark, my father and your loved one haven't gone anywhere different than
countless
others before them, and they certainly haven't gone anywhere that you
and I
won't one day be ourselves. They are without a doubt in excellent company.
I understand you've come to this site because you're searching for
evidence that your beloved, be it a person or a pet, is still alive in
some way. And I understand how easy it is to doubt your belief in God
and the promise of an afterlife
when you lose someone you love. It's the ultimate test of your faith.
But it's only when our faith is tested that we discover the true belief
within our hearts. We can either choose to pull away from God in anger
because He took someone we desperately love away from us, or we can
draw closer to Him for the comfort He promised (Matthew
5:4) and be grateful for the
blessings we've been given. It's a choice. Which one do you want
to choose?
With saying all that, I'd just
like to caution you on your evidence seeking
journey because it's easy to fall into the trap of seeking out active
2-way communication with spirits. While
there's absolutely nothing wrong with talking to your loved one and
asking them for "signs" that they're still around, don't ask for more
than that because opening the door to welcome in the spiritual world
means you're opening a door for any of them to walk through - and you
may not like who shows up. Just rememeber that any spiritual
communication that takes you away from God means it's not of God.
You don't need a psychic to "prove" to you that your loved one is still
around. They're proving it to you themselves every day but you have to
actively pay attention to the signs. And that's not easy to do when
you're overwhelmed by grief because it prevents your brain from being
able to fully focus. It's also hard for love to come through anger or
sadness because negative emotions block love. Grief actually makes it
harder for them to get their messages through to you.
So start paying attention and don't doubt. Above all, be grateful for each sign, and you'll
start noticing more and more every day. It could be something as simple
as noticing that the A/C in your home cuts on when you start talking to
your loved one or driving in your car and noticing a bumber sticker,
street name or license plate that makes you think of them. When you
start noticing these little coincidences, thank your loved one for
sending through a hello, then thank God for allowing the message to be
received. Be joyous and thankful for every little sign, every single
time, and you'll be amazed at how many you'll start receiving.
