My mom passed around midnight last Friday peacefully in my arms. So much love I kept telling her as she opened her eyes and looked directly into my eyes. Her breathing became more shallow as I told her it was ok to go, that daddy is waiting to reunite with you and that I’ll be okay. And with one last breath she left. It was surreal, beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time. I stayed with her for several hours until the mortuary arrived and took her away. I jumped in my car, crying the entire drive home. The sun was just coming up as i pulled up my driveway. Just as I stepped out of my car a school of more than a dozen hummingbirds encircled me, fluttering about playfully singing. It was amazing then suddenly all but one of the tiny hummingbirds flew away. The hummingbird that stayed behind just hovered a few feet from my face and stared at me for seemed like a good 10-15 seconds then whooshed past my head and was gone. I believe it was a sign that my mom was with my dad and joined by all their many friends who had previously passed. It was amazing and eased some of the sorrow and grief I was carrying. Thankyou Julie for sharing your stories and information. Your KZbin channel helped me navigate the hospice process and helped prepared me immeasurably.

The day my mother-in-law passed I looked out the kitchen window and saw a small baby Blue Jay sitting on the edge of the bird bath. It would NOT move. After several minutes I went out to see if it was ok. I walked up to the bird bath and gently talked to it. It was not at all frightened but just sat there looking at me. There were no other birds around, so after a few more minutes I walked back inside. Now after several more minutes I got up and walked away, returned looked out the window and it was gone. My mother-in-law was a real "bird fanatic" took care in feeding them and always a feeder outside her kitchen window. I am sure this was here way to let me know she was gone and moved on and at peace.

It was her. Zero doubt. It is actually quite common for people to have visits from a bird after a loved one crosses over.

Lovely story Julie, strange to say but at a dark time in my life an insect gave me hope too -- I was sitting in the car waiting to go into court for a hearing to determine whether I would be granted a restraining order against the person to whom I was then married -- there was a history of physical violence, he had found where I was living, and I would have to confront him in the courtroom. Since there was also violence in my family-of-origin I was dealing with fear and anxiety that went about as deep as it could go. I was trying to collect myself to prepare for this when a wasp came and settled on the (closed) driver's side window -- it remained literally eye to eye with me for several minutes and as I watched its small movements I felt unaccountably calmed, reminded somehow that there was an invisible pattern of life that would sustain me. As it happened, my then-partner did not attend the hearing -- the restraining order was granted but I decided to leave the state entirely, it was the beginning of a new life.

I once was in a very hard place. I stopped in the road , threw up my hands and and rides, God. I saw out of side of my eyes a swarm of orange coming at me. What landed on me was a swarm of orange butterflies. I couldn’t tell you if they was 10 seconds or 10 minutes went by, but when they left I felt that feeling that passes all understanding was all over me. My problem was taken care of within 20 minutes. Butterflies have always been my favorite. The Lord always meets us when or with what ever is special for us.

[@bdvdjd1]

I was at the lowest point in my life and got pregnant. I was confused why God would do this at this particular time and struggled with what I was going to do. One day I was outside looking into the sky and asking for guidance....a butterfly landed on my stomach, sat there silently without fear as i touched it. I knew right then and there. The butterfly flew away once I felt peace

[@user-vm9mv3zu8j]

Why do women do this. Reality check time. God didnt get you pregnant. You got you pregnant. Lets be real, your choices put you in a bad spot. Happened to me to. Can God help you out, yes. Everyday, I see women complaining and blaming everybody else, but themselves. Glad you pushed through.

What a fantastic story 🐞 Day before my son was born 18 Aug yrs ago Monarch’s swarmed a tree. Felt a reassuring sign. He was born super healthy and is a happy adult, now. 🦋 Years later, a swarm of Dragon Flies surrounded me and my Jeep during a difficult time. I’d been meditating on scripture and some difficult happenstances. Felt like my spirit animal showed up in the form of a DF. Since then, it’s become a symbol of transformation in many ways :) ❤

The autumn day I took leave from my teaching job to stay home with my husband in hospice, I walked by windows that looked over a wet playground field. On the field was a flock of robins drinking from the wet fields. I didn’t know robins flocked like this. The next morning at my home another family member said to look outside. On the maple tree outside my window were more robins than I could count. The tree was bowing from their weight. I take this as a spiritual sign that I am loved and supported.

[@Ski7440]

After my dad died I was cycling along in the countryside.. and thinking of my dad . Out of nowhere three butterflies hovered infront of me then flew towards me and one landed on my nose .. I felt it was my dad , his mother and his father .. so touched 😊 almost like a sign

[@christianuniversalist]

a dear friend of mine was clinically dead in the hospital after a med error in pre op when a nurse administered midazolam which he had a deadly allergy. He had a powerful NDE where he saw Jesus and his mother who passed and so much more. During his NDE he saw large beautiful butterflies. Definitely they were there for meaning and purpose in his experience. Butterflies are highly symbolic: we become new creatures in Christ.

[@58landman]

I love stories like this and I believe, although I have never experienced it that I can recall, they are real and they serve a purpose. On June 6 of this year I had to let my 16 year old Golden Doodle go. He had been with me for 15 years and 10 months; I became his dad at his age of 8 weeks. He and I were together nearly all day long and nearly every day and he had his 16th birthday on June 5. He was so demonstrative with me and I understood him and his moods so I held on to him until his birthday but he was desparate to go and I helped him, it was the last act of love I could give to him. I have experienced many deaths and passings and I seldom cry because I know our souls move into another place that is especially for us, but I miss him and even now my eyes are filling with tears. In my prayers I seldom ask the Lord for anything for me but I would love to have some kind of validation from him to know how I am grieving about his absence. He could even bite me if he wanted.

[@boething]

I had a butterfly follow me around for several days after my mother died, and the pastor that did her service, a woman who knew nothing of this, wore a shirt with a butterfly on it to the memorial. To this day, butterflies are very symbolic to me.

💯 there is always hope, u just have to keep goin 💜 I went up bush with a friend n felt i needed to reconnect with nature as the stress of life was really starting to weigh me down, when we got to a nice spot we stopped, i walked up towards a small water fall to look at the top of it n saw a beautiful butterfly on the ground, didnt want to strp on it so i put my finger out expecting it to fly away then it stepped onto my finger, i stood up n it flew onto my top then walked up n sat just under my shoulder while it opened n closed its wings, it sat there for a good 5 mins before it flew away onto a near by blade of grass, i felt like all my stress was gone from having the 5 mins with my favourite insect, felt like a loved one was letting me know that everything is going to be ok 💜

Isn't it fantastic that when in recovery/transition of life from what seems like the hardest, and most hopeless and down and out we can be, that when we turn ourselves over to a higher power and lay it at their feet and spend the time to talk and ask and pray, that we get to be lucky enough to be given a response like this that is so mind blowing we KNOW NOW there is SO much more and we are being told we are going to be ok because we are being taken care of and watched over!

One day I was having a yard sale and was parting with a myriad of favorite trinkets..I realized over time were special connections from family and friends..I had enveloping health issues and would never marry or have a family. A man stopped by and was carefully browsing. He took an interest in my lady bug collection..a spring greeting my German uncle sent every year called Maria Kafer. She arrived with a witty message and a notepad or a magnet a clip or some similar item. As I was telling the man about my uncle and how I had saved the lady bug momentos for years…he suddenly went “Whoa…” and there was a lady bug on his hand..as sure as sure a connecting of narratives in the spring sunlight morning in Southern California. ✨🌿🌈

Every question you asked yourself- and answered had to do with God your Creator. HE, not your higher self was trying to direct you out of yourself and to Him. He definitely was showing you that He hears you🐞, He knows what you’re going through…. seek Him. I’ve gone through terribly difficult times when my knowledge is so inefficient. The Lord had shown me that He was allowing this so that I would choose to go to the Bible, read it, and then seek wise council from biblical councilor’s. Helped me tremendously to not seek council from my “higher self”.🐞

I'm with you on your interpretation of that experience. A side note, many different insects 'swarm' at certain times of the year. That was a lady bug swarm. I've seen mosquito swarms so thick you could sweep them up in piles. One story I heard was a swarm of mosquitoes one year was so thick it suffocated livestock. Perhaps Mother Nature's way of 'thinning the herd'?? I think those of us who see these ghosts or spirits and other 'things' are fortunate people. I was in the Navy and at sea often where I saw things that were unexplainable. I suspect many other sea going sailors have stories to tell but don't because they don't want others to think they have gone 'round the bend.

After my Mom died in 2014 and before the funeral, I was sitting on the back porch steps and two black & blue (red spotted purple is the correct name) butterflies flue up and landed on me. They stayed until I finally got up to go in the house. Then a few years later my niece posts a picture of my great niece (then an infant), was smiling and talking to the same type of butterfly that had landed on her stroller. Last May, my Dad and I were visiting my Mom's grave in WV and the same type of butterfly came and landed on the door to the car when I was trying to get in and move it out of the way of another man who wanted to take the one lane road through the cemetery. My Dad was in a really foul mood out of nowhere that day and looking back, I wonder if he knew that the next time he'd be up at my Mom's grave was March 4, 2024 when we buried him beside her. I miss them both so much, and haven't seen any butterflies of that particular type since last May 2023.

When we had a celebration of life for my cousin. Her brother ordered butterflies for us to release at the end of the service. I was standing next to her youngest son who was going through some stuff. All the butterflies flew on to the plant with all these flowers and 1 went and landed on Jared's shoe. And wouldn't leave, it walked all over his shoe and I pointed it out to him. I told him that was my cousin coming to check on him. He had tears streaming down his face. I took a picture because I knew noone was going to believe this story. I truly believe that it was my cousin coming to tell her baby it was going to be ok. About 10 minutes later Jared caught the butterfly and sruck it on the bush. He turned to walk away and the butterfly followed him for a few feer like she was telling him she loved him and would see him later, then it flew away. ❤❤❤
