I recently lost someone close to me and I keep drawing these weird connections that I am interpreting as signs or messages. I don't know what it means but it makes me think it's all OK. It's not OK. Is this part of denial?

I don't really know, but I don't think so. You miss that person, so you are acutely aware of everything and anything that reminds you of them.

Thanks. It's not so much things that remind me but more like things that would be an inside joke or remember the time we talked about this. For example, neither one of us were believers but we loved discussing the possibilities. We both agreed reincarnation was the most plausible and fascinating thing that could happen. I was the one in the room when they turned off the medication keeping her body alive and she officially passed. I went back out into the reception room where everyone else was and sat down. Directly across from my field of vision was a poster that said "A new name, A new day". When I got home that day another similar thing happened with a different conversation we had.

I guess I shouldn't try judging my reactions to this. I'm just a little afraid of the process. It's going to be bad when it hits me. I should take whatever comfort I can get wherever I can get it.

You are hyper-aware. I've watched three people die. I can't speak for you, but the same sort of thing happened to me three times. My mom loved pink roses and show tunes. I saw and heard them everywhere.

keep looking for the signs and remember that your loved one who passed on can hear your thoughts

So I'm sitting here having a good cry at my dining room table. My dining room and living room are one big rectangular room with the dining table at one end of the room and the living area on the other end. On the furthest wall is mounted a 60-inch flat-screen that is turned off. I can see the reflection of the dining-room room lights in the darkened TV. My mind asks me how many lights there are. 3. Now, look up. How many lights are there? 6. I only see a reflection. I see only half of what there is.

Sorry, L8. Too soon for a rep. Have to settle for a virtual hug.

I think it's like pregnant women suddenly seeing babies everywhere. They've been there all along, but now you notice them.

I'm sorry for your loss.

If you want to read lots of answers and threads about this subject, go to the ADVANCED search engine, type in "signs", then go to "find in", unmark the "all threads" that will be automatically checked, scroll down to "Grief and Mourning" thread and you will come up with 4 pages that have threads of people seeing/experiencing signs.

My tablet won't allow me to copy and paste because I tried yesterday. There are very good posts in those threads.

What you could also do is share each thread with yourself by email.
