Zara - gave me goosebumps too..
Leasha - I remember reading your birth story what feels like forever ago. You were very close to your grandad, right? Do you still feel his presence?? I like to think that somehow our loved ones are watching over us all, keeping tabs.. I really miss my grandad too... we were also close
Sorry, got off topic there
Nae, glad I gave you a chuckle thinking about your friend x
Ahh my nan was watching me and this thread i think... last night i had a dream she was talking to DD1, sitting on the end of her bed having a chat with her, i woke up and silence, then out of nowhere DD1 was 'chatting' to herself.. the dogs barked, scared her and she started screaming....
So i say "hello nan"
This happened when DD1 was little aswell, i dreamt nan was standing over her bassinet, i woke up looked and nothing was there, went back to sleep woke up again and DD1 was talking to herself and i am positive i 'saw' someone leave!
I do agree with the one person dies for another to be born. My Mum passed away in April this year and I got pg in July. I'm secretly hoping for a girl too for this reason, may sound odd or corny, but if we had a girl i would be convinced a bit of my Mum would be in her....IYKWIM?
I dont believe that it even has to be within a family. My god mother died of breast cancer I think and too this day i think that it was her leaving that allowed a special friend to fall preg after trying sooo many things. I thank her all the time and having her middle name im reminded of her everytime i have to give my full name. The fact her and i shared a fav colour and she was buried in a coffin of that colour makes our bond stonger.
tellytubby, We were very close, we lived with him for 15 years of my life, so a lot closer than most people would be to their grandparents I think.
No I don't feel his presence anymore. Not for almost two years now. I think he has moved on now, I don't feel that he is even in this world anymore, probably reborn into another.
Now I think about it when I was pregnant with DD my Pop died and now I am pregnant again DH's grandfather died a few weeks ago. When I was pregnant with DD I had a dream my Pop told me she was a girl and what her name was. I think it was an unfortunate coincidence that they died at that time but I like to think of them watching over my babies.
A thought about relatives dying after a baby was conceived but before birth (because I believe the soul is already there or atleast waiting at conception)..........
Maybe that relative is supposed to be the soul that guides the new soul (baby) into the world. I dont truly believe that anyone is ever alone at the time of birth or death. Some other soul is there to ease the transition, whether they are a relative or a 'stranger'.
Heaven - It took me a while to "click" who one earth you were talking about, but when it did... I literally l.o.l'ed. Hahaha! Nope, definitely wouldn't want to be related!!
Leasha - Living with a grandparent would definitely make you a lot closer.. I can only imagine the heartache you experienced when he passed. And to be soo close to popping also. Must have been stressful I loved reading your post. What religion are you, if you don't mind me asking? x
Zara - That's lovely She is still visiting you and your family.
