Touched By The Extraordinary Blog

These were the types of experiences my hospice and grieving patients shared with me, whether they were dealing with pet loss or they were widows, widowers, moms, dads or family members and friends who had lost their loved ones to cancer, some other life-threatening illness or in a sudden death such as a car accident or act of violence. They would tell me about their stunning signs, coincidences and synchronicities such as butterflies or fireflies hovering close to them after their family member had died or frequently finding that the song they most loved and shared with the deceased would be playing the moment they turned on their car radio – and would often replay while in the car.

Others shared dreams, visions of angels, guides and communication with those who had died, as well as stories of miracles, healings and prayers being answered. And others would speak of incidents in which they felt the presence of a deceased loved one, perhaps via a brief scent of their cigar, cigarette, favorite cologne or perfume, or possibly by means of an electrical event such as the electrical lights, television or VCR going on the moment they were thinking of the individual. All of theses events were always considered to be connections with the Divine, such as God, angels, Jesus, Mary or deceased loved ones.
