Do You Pray For This While Mourning A Loved One?

Praying for signs and perhaps getting them immediately?!



Have you ever yearned for a lost loved one so intently, and then something 
strange happened and you wondered if it was really them?

I know sometimes I am quite insistent that I am ready and willing to receive a "sign from beyond" and I mentally call out to my son to let me know he is around.  Sometimes I search afterwards, and have my awareness antennae on high alert, and nothing happens... but then, some days, I am blessed.

The other night, I was with my partner on a midnight nature tour, and we parked the four-wheeler in the middle of nowhere, so we could enjoy the peaceful night and look at the stars.  I sat back, taking in my surroundings, as the moon was just bright enough that I could make out silhouettes of the trees and bushes that huddled around our seclusion.

I mentally called out to Logan, and stated this would be a great time for him to come in full-form apparition, and walk out of the darkness into the silence of our retreat.  My eyes scurried around, searching for a glimpse of mist or something that would resemble my son's spirit.  I couldn't see anything forming out of the stillness, but all of a sudden something rustled in the bush beside us.

My partner walked closer and said, "Did you hear that?"

We both listened intently, and the silence penetrated our ears.

Seconds later, another scattering sound emanated in the bushes.  Our attention was glued to the noise that had penetrated our awareness, but then my partner shrugged it off as a bird nesting nearby.

In the darkness, a smile spread across my lips and I silently nodded in agreement... "Sure, that's all it was. Right Logan?"

I know my son, and he would have appeared if he had the knowledge to do it, but I also know he wouldn't miss an opportunity to make his presence heard.

Whether or not you believe in signs from deceased loved ones, they truly give great comfort when you allow your mind to accept them.

Tucking A Shredded Heart Back In Where It Belongs

By -

 It doesn't seem to matter how much time passes since our loved one was taken from this physical realm.  There will be moments that hit you like a brick, and the emptiness fills your shredded heart. Sometimes I catch a glance at my son's photo, and I yearn for his presence.  I know he comes to me in a spiritual way, to comfort me in the moment but I long for more.   The last days of his existence in this world plaque my mind, and I wish we had talked longer, hugged, and made the most of our last moments together.  Unfortunately, they ways of the world overtook us, as we had to cut his birthday celebration short as the next work day was looming over the evening. I remember picking him up the next morning to drive him to work, and as our last minutes were fading, we were consumed with the time on the clock.  We were running late on the highway, and when I pulled into the community to drop him off, the cement truck was waiting for him. He grabbed his item...

How Grief Transforms As Time Passes

 Many people have heard the phrase, "time heals all wounds"... In the case of grief, this is not necessarily correct.  Grief does transform as time passes; however, it never really truly ceases to exist. When you are first faced with the loss of a loved one, the pain is raw and emotional.  The feelings of helplessness and emptiness fill your entire being with dread.  Sometimes the emotions are so overwhelming, it's hard to imagine that the pain in your heart will ever stop aching. In my own journey of loss, I have watched my grief transform in many ways.  As I write this, I can't even fathom that I have existed on this planet without my son in physical presence for almost seven years.  In the early days of his passing, my heart was shattered and at that time, beyond repair.  It brought me into a tail-spin of crushing trauma to realize that I had to go on living, when I thought he could not. Over the course of my heart-wrenching journey, I've realized t...

The Signs From Cardinals

By -

During a recent visit to see family, we headed out of town and just as we turned onto the highway, a bright red cardinal jetted across the road right in front of us.  This was not the first time that I had seen a cardinal do this, and so I made a comment wondering if this was something cardinals normally do, or if they just really wanted to be noticed?  I mentioned that perhaps my son was accompanying us to see his loved ones, and that is why this bird gained our attention? A couple hours into our drive, we arrived at my parent's home, and immediately upon walking to their door, a song emanated from the tree branches.  I was familiar with the melody and my eyes scanned the tree limbs trying to catch a glimpse of our friend.  He kept singing, and just then, I noticed him in brilliant red sitting upon a limb.  I smiled and said to my partner, "Okay, Logan must be with us, as there's another cardinal!" Later that afternoon, after stopping at my daughter's home, her...
