Talk to me about the afterlife

[Mummato2]

As some might know I lost my dad 2 weeks ago unexpectedly. I hadn't seen him in 8 years and hadn't spoken with him in months leading to his death.

The pivotal issue for me is his de facto cremating him when he held such strong beliefs for burial in life.

Anyway, I am an Anglican but have a very strong belief in spiritual energy after you die.

What's your belief? Do you believe a persons soul (for lack of a better word) can still see everything around them? Do you believe my dad can see my babies he never knew?

I'm struggling with where he is at the moment

Sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad

I'm not sure what I believe in, but I'm certain that there is life after death, that our loved ones watch over us. I personally feel my own father around me who I lost when I was young.

^^ I am the same as CM.

When my grandfather passed, I believe he was around between the day he died and close to his funeral. I remember waking one night feeling that someone was in our house (I felt quite scared) but then I 'heard' my grandfather tell me 'it is ok, it is just me'. I then felt really calm and went back to sleep.

My dad passed away in 1996 and I felt his presence around for days after, at first I was scared but then it was conforting. For me I choose to believe that he can see my kids that he never met as they were born after he died. I also ask and have asked for his guidance and advice or just a question about something in the past and the answer I got came true. So I do believe.

I lost my mum just over a year and a half ago. It was sudden but not a surprise. My Sister and brother were closer to her than I was but almost immediately after her passing I could feel her presence all around me. She and my Dad had split more than 20 years ago and although they could be in the same room my Mum did not have any time for my Dad and preferred not to speak with him. After her death, my Dad turned up to my Sisters place with a big bunch of flowers - he told her that he was just sitting at home in his chair dozing and that Mum came to him and told him to go and buy his daughter a nice bunch of flowers to make her feel better.

The night before I found out I was pregnant which was 8 months after Mum had passed she came to me in a dream and told me I would be pregnant (we were trying) and that this baby would be a fighter. (we have had 2 angel babies). I woke up and tested and sure enough positive.

My niece who is turning 3 in September talks to 'Grandma' all the time. She sees her and is alway saying to my Sister 'Look it's Grandma'. At first my Sister was a little freaked out but now she loves that Grandma is around all the time.

I am a strong believer in the afterlife. I believe our loved ones are always watching over us. I ask my Mum for guidance and support all the time.

I hope that you recieve comfort in the times ahead and that you may feel the presence of your Dad if that is what you want.

Take care,

Wow! You know I "felt" my dad in my DD's room in the week after he died.

She is a great sleeper and at 2am (thanks Dad) I woke to her giggling and chatting away to someone......I went in and "felt" something there - I am sure it was him.

My mum and dad had been separated for 14 years and she never saw him in that time. 1 hour after he died my mum had a vivid dream about him looking young and healthy. He was talking to her about my DD who was asleep in a crib.

I do believe as well - it's hard talking to people about it because some have looked at me like I'm ready for the white jacket
