This is why I believe There is something GREATER

This was a crazy but real experience I found myself in while I was dealing with a hard time in my life. While this isn't Hospice related, I believe stories like these are important when we are coming to grips or understanding our own mortality and our lives here.

A little over a year ago my only child committed suicide. I thought I'd never heal to the point that I have, I still have a very long way to go. About 2 weeks after his death I was sitting on my sister's patio grieving horribly & asking why? I verbally begged God to confirm that Adam knew I was sorry that more couldn't have been done, that he knew how much I would always love & grieve for him & that I forgave him. I needed to know my son knew this, & that he was resting in the arms of Jesus. I heard nothing. I said, "God, if these prayers are answered then make a cardinal appear on the top of the pole that my sisters bird feeder hangs on. Not 2 minutes later I turned my head toward the pole & on top of it stood a cardinal.

My 20 year old love of my life son passed away unexpectedly in Jan with no medical explanation as to how/why he died. My friend, who also lost her son, talked about her son sending her cardinals and how cool that was. I love cardinals and I asked my son to send me a cardinal too. I looked out the window - nothing. Fine - I thought. 2 days later, I let my cat out in the back yard as my s/o was doing yard work. There was a big ruckus. He asked me to bring the cat in because there were a male and female cardinal freaking out about the cat being outside. They built a nest and had baby cardinals in the tree outside of my son’s bedroom. I not only got my cardinal - I got a whole family.

I am sorry about you son. No mother should have to go through that kind of pain.💔 I lost both my parents recently. It's so strange, because I am not religious, but when I am having a really bad day, I talk to my mom and feel her close by. In life she had a lot of faith, went to church, and always prayed, sometimes to St. Christopher. When I couldn't find an important document, I cried and asked her for help. Almost immediately, after looking under my bed for the hundredth time, I found a book mark with the St. Christopher prayer to find lost things on it, don't know where it came from to this day! I found the document right after that. This stuff happens to me all the time. Something tells me that your son is very close by. And we will see our family members again, I believe it with my whole heart! Take care!!🦋🦋

My wife died of cancer in January of 2014. She donated her body for research. We received her ashes a year later and met at a spot by a lake that we had all decided was the place of her rest. We all stood on a rock by the lake with her ashes in August of 2016. The black flies were horrible. When I opened the box with her remains, all the black flies went away and a single monarch butterfly came and visited each of us. It landed on my toe and on my grandson’s head. I took photos and when I have gotten down and need comfort, I look at those photos and know that there is something more beautiful than we can imagine.

What a beautiful story! I hope you are doing well after your terrible loss

[@MaxMiniTV]

Through a weird series of events, about 10 years ago, I became the caretaker of an acquaintance who I really didn’t know that well. He had just been diagnosed with liver cancer, and had no one else, so he moved into my house. Shortly after he arrived, a hummingbird, made a nest right outside the bathroom window. That was unusual in itself, as I had never even seen a hummingbird near my house in the middle of downtown LA . There was one little egg in the nest; it looked like a TicTac breath mint. Over time, this man became one of my best friends. When he had to go into a nursing home for full care, I visited him every day. On the day he passed, a hummingbird flew right up to me, as I walked out of the nursing home. When I arrived home that day, both the hummingbird and the little egg were gone, but all that week hummingbirds showed up everywhere. Two months ago, I had to say goodbye to my beloved, 15-year-old dog. As I was cradling his body, following euthanasia on the cement patio of a vet hospital, who came to visit? A hummingbird. Not long after that I went to see another little dog who needed a home at the Humane Society. When I saw the hummingbird hovering outside the door, I knew I had found the right dog.

I had a German Shepherd Pittie mix. Absolutely the smartest dog I ever had. She was also a runner but she did it to play with me. She’d run next door and stand at the gate pretending she was going to get the neighbor’s ancient cat then she’d turn and look at me and laugh (I swear she laughed) She knew she couldn’t reach the cat but she wanted to mess with me. I used to take day trips with her and I enjoyed her company more than any human. She’d get away from me sometimes but always came back. She died of smoke inhalation in a house fire. I tried to save her three times running into the fire but she was woozy and wouldn’t come and weighed 80lbs so I couldn’t lift her. I wanted to die when I lost her. Her fur was black, brown and yellow. One day after she died I was walking and crying. Suddenly a pale yellowish butterfly (exactly the color of her fur) came and flew around my head then flew ahead of me. ( we have few butterflies here and not that color I had never seen that color)It did it 3 or 4 times. It would wait for me to catch up then circle me and fly ahead. Finally it flew ahead staying with me but ahead. The next day I had taken a walk in a different direction and the same thing happened. It only happened twice but I knew it was her saying goodbye and forgiving me for not being able to save her. One my worst days the thought that one day. I will see her again gets me through. I love hearing these experiences.

A few years ago my wife, a retired nurse from Florida, told us of a time when she was in a patient's room talking with the relatives of a coma patient. He had been comatose for some time and was not expected to recover. Very unexpectedly, the patient awoke, got up and out of bed, and waving his arms, said, " I'm going home! I'm going home! Hallelujah, I'm going home!" He then returned to bed and passed away. I have no doubt that he did go home. It was inspired that he took the time, and effort, to share his farewell.

My grandson was born with a rare genetic mutation. I’d been a nurse 30+ years and had never heard of it. He spent almost three months in the NICU. I was my daughter (his moms) primary support as dad was not stepping up. The day my grandson was to come home I stopped in the grocery on the way to the hospital. I chose a checkout lane and then for some reason decided to move to another (it was a bit longer). The cashier was a young friendly girl who proceeded to tell me (unsolicited) that she has a rare genetic disorder. The SAME as my grandsons! She also told me how great her life and doctors are. I’m still flabbergasted to this day! Thank you God for your Holy Spirit guiding me to that lane and for nudging the sweet cashier, Haley, to share. It gave me so much comfort and hope ❤🙏🏻. Needless to say, I shared with my daughter. We both cried happy tears 😭.

Second night at the third/regional hospital I was in I couldn’t sleep. I wasn’t troubled, upset, worried. Just couldn’t sleep. Nothing new, happens to me at home. So I scrolled through the tv channels. Found one dedicated to nature videos. No words, just calm peaceful music and scenery. I watched through the night. Being very peaceful and calm. Atone point it really hit me that God loves us all so much that he gives us this beauty for free! No strings attached!!

I just lost my dad to cancer this summer. The wonderful people through Hospice helped so much. Our hospice nurse gave us a booklet about the stages of dying. At the end was a story or poem, not sure what to call it, but it gave me so much peace about what was happening and what was coming. It was called "And this is dying". I won't type the entire thing here, just the ending. I highly recommend that you ask your hospice nurse if she has a copy to give you. This is how it ends, in more ways than one: " Just at the moment someone at my side says: "There, she is gone!" There are other eyes watching her coming and ready to take up the glad shout: "Here she comes!" And that is dying.... " I hope that you are able to say goodbye and walk away from those last moments knowing that you left nothing unsaid. Though I'm still dealing with my loss, I sense that those last moments are going to eventually change from heartbreaking and traumatic to something really important & comforting. Good luck & I pray for an abundance of peace for you & your mom.

Several times family members heard owl hooting during his last illness. Several years after he passed, a young granddaughter of his was dieing of cancer. She was at home, in a desert area of Arizona. For three days before she passed away, a great horned owl came and stayed, in a tree near their home. Her mother posted pictures to the family. After she died the owl was not seen again.

When my husband, kids, and I moved from Ohio to Virginia I was very homesick. In Ohio, I used to watch a red winged blackbird that was always in an area by an entrance ramp to a highway. I felt like I knew him. It had been months since I’d seen one, but driving back to our house on a rural road, I finally saw one perched on a wire farm fence. I stopped the car very near it and the bird and I communed for at least 5 minutes, maybe longer! We were looking at each other as time stood still. I felt so loved at that moment. Now we live in St. Louis and a few years ago, there was a freak windstorm where the birds were having a hard time getting their bearings in flight. On one two lane road, near the concrete divider, I saw a dead red winged blackbird. I was so sad! And I said, “But I never got to know you or meet you!” Then I heard Jesus say, “That’s how I feel.” I took that to mean that Jesus doesn’t force Himself on anyone, but is sad when someone is gone that He never got to know. I know others may scoff at my story; that’s ok. I know what I experienced.

My father was dying of lung cancer. I was lucky I had two months with him. The day he died, he got out of bed, showered and shaved then returned to bed. The last thing he said to me was, "Have a good day." After that for over 2 hours we sat there talking telepathically. I confessed something I didn't need to, but he accepted it. He told me, "No regrets." I kept looking up and over to the bedroom door, no one I could see. Then I looked up above the foot of his bed, up at the ceiling and turned and said, "You have to go Dad." He noded or smiled, he somehow acknowledged me. Then off he went. "Thank you Alfed Edward Sonny Wong, for being my Father."

I have a Yorkie when I was a teenager into my early 20’s. She, unfortunately, had an allergic reaction to a shot she got from the vet, went into shock, and passed away that day. It was pretty traumatic for me. That night, I was sitting in my apartment and asked my deceased grandfather, whom I feel a deep connection with despite never meeting the man, to send me a sign that she was OK, “as little as a bug.” Sure enough, less than 10 minutes later I’m still sitting there just watching TV, and I feel this smack on my arm. I look down, and there is a little gnat on my arm. My apartment never had bugs, and my windows were closed. I couldn’t explain it, but I certainly felt a sense of peace after that. A year later, we lost our Bichon. Not as tragic of a situation, she was just old and it was her time. A month after that, I hear a faint knock at my door. I get up and open the door, and outside is a Yorkie and a Bichon, just sitting there staring at me. Logically, these dogs were one of my neighbor’s who were just getting some exercise in the hallway. But for them to come to my door to say hi (which never happened before or after), gave me the feeling that my dogs were trying to tell me that they were OK and were together. I hung out with them for a few minutes and heard my neighbor’s door open, so I said my goodbyes and they walked off towards their apartment. Maybe this was all coincidence, but then again, maybe it wasn’t. At the end of the day, both experiences gave me some comfort that I very much needed.

HI Julie, mine is a Willy Wagtail bird. They always seem to appear when I need a lift of heart. They put a 'smile' in my heart. In 2006 my Dad passed away, he was cremated and the funeral directors were across the road from my church. We had brought my Mum home to live with us as she was legally blind and not able to cope on her own. When the ashes were ready for collection, i didn't want to upset my Mum by taking her to pick them up, my husband was at work, and without realizing how hard this was going to be for me, I hopped into the car and went by myself. When I got to the funeral home I went in and told the receptionist that I was here to pick up my Dad's ashes. I actually think I was still in shock and trying to be so brave for my Mum. She asked me his name, and she pointed to a settee and told me to have a seat, she would be right back. It struck me then that this seemed so surreal that I was asking for my Dad, and here I was sitting on a settee in what looked like a lovely sitting room. She came back with a brick sized parcel, wrapped in blue velvet with a yellow tassel on it. This was my Dad!! I can't even remember walking out the door. I looked across the road to my church and ran there cradling my Dad's ashes. We have a wee memorial garden, and I stopped at it, hugging my Dad's ashes and sat down on the pavement crying hard for the first time, I had tried to be so strong for my Mum and kids. I sobbed so hard and when I opened my eyes, right there at my feet, so close, was a wee Willy Wagtail flicking it's tail and looking at me so intensely. I all of a sudden felt at peace, and with the tears rolling down my face sat there on the concrete talking to this wee bird. I went home and told my husband about this experience. They still appeared when I was down or worried, then my Mum passed away in 2009. We had to go to the funeral home to pick a coffin for her, that is an awful task. I wasn't sobbing coming out as she had only passed a few days before and I was in that stage of grief that I just focused on what had to be done for the funeral, but the tears were more or less in my eyes and running down my face. As my husband and I walked out off the Funeral home, a Willy wagtail flew down to my feet, 'See I said to my husband, there is my Dad" just then another one flew down beside it, and I joked, "and there is my Mum with him" we walked across the street to the car and one flew up to the overhead wires above the car, the other stayed beside me and wagged it's tail at my feet outside the car, then, flew up to the other one on the wire! My heart sang!! My whole family now knows about me and my link to Willy Wagtails and they have appeared over and over again over the years since. On birthdays, anniversaries and even when we were going away with our caravan last year and we had bad floods so I was worried about the trip, one flew into our pergola, right past my face and on to our fence, as we started to drive away with the caravan it swooped across our window. And, would you believe when we got to our destination 4 hours away, (we live in Australia) and parked our caravan one was sitting on the fence, and was there all that week off and on. It was a lovely week away and I had worried about it. I am Christian and have a deep faith in Jesus, and I know He sends us comfort in different forms, I think nature are one of those forms.

This very same thing happened to my mother after my father died just a few months short of their 50th anniversary. She was lying on the couch, broken and grieving, when she felt a comforting hand on her forehead. After that, she was able to move forward, confident that they would someday be together again.

In 2012, I had a heart attack while mountain biking. Almost took me out. I spent a week or so in the hospital, and one day shortly after my release, I had driven to my cardiologist for a follow-up appointment. They did an echo cardiogram and told me I was improving, but still not "out of the woods". I left the office feeling pretty stressed, scared and uncertain what my future might hold. I remember very clearly getting in my car and just sitting there, trying to "get my lid screwed back down" mentally. My car was parked facing a large retaining wall made of paver blocks. As I sat there, a dove flew in from out of nowhere and landed on the wall directly in front of my face. I swear, he cocked his head, made eye contact with me, held it for several seconds and then flew away. I've always associated doves with God and peace, and to me what that bird silently said to me was "You're going to be okay, Jack". I mean, he could have landed ANYWHERE on that massive wall , but he was eye level and held my gaze. I definitely took comfort from that incident and will never forget it. Coincidence? I suppose skeptics would say so, but the timing, proximity and the perceived message was just too perfect, to me. I suppose it doesn't matter what anyone else believes or disbelieves about it, I just know what I saw and felt.

After my mom passed away over 7 years ago, my sisters and I were cleaning her place. I found 4 tiny red hearts on the floor, similar to confetti. I have 3 sisters so that was for the 4 of us. I scooped them up and covered them up safely to take home (2700 miles away). The day I got home, I was in the bedroom unpacking and I sat on my side of the bed, and there on the floor was a glittery red heart, about 1 inch in size. I always have felt the hearts were from my mom and keep them in a tiny container in my bedroom.

Cardinals…many times whether grieving or not, I’ll see a Cardinal and I know it’s a sign. Putting down my 13 yr old Lab and consumed with grief, returning home from the vet, a Cardinal appeared in my backyard. I know it was a sign that he was ok. It wasn’t stopping my pain, but gave me such comfort knowing it was a sign. ♥️♥️

thx for sharing Julie ! that was an inspiring story. recently when my dog had to be put down cuz of health issues, i came home from the vet and was emotionally drained, i asked God to give me a sign that my dog is gona be ok and that i made the right decision to put her down. my dog was black n white. within minuets a black n white butterfly flew next to me and i held out my hand and it landed on my hand. *happy tears*

Hi Julie, You are a blessing to me. Through your posts I was brave enough to help an elderly man through his end of life journey. He was not a big believer in a higher power and he was afraid to die but he had terminal liver cancer. I did not have experience in being a care giver but I was divinely guided to do this. He was not a relative he was a person who had nobody. In one of his agitated states he left his room and put the kitchen faucet on and left it running for a long while. He also let the faucet running in the bathroom. Both times I was annoyed at him and told him it was not good as water was expensive where we lived. After he passed I wondered how he adjusted to his new transition. So I’m outside and go inside and the faucet is on. It’s very bright in the room. I realize it’s a message from him. I laugh and go past the kitchen table where he always sat. The table is all cleaned off but directly in his seat is a shining new dime. I never leave change around. That is my story. ❤️

Dimes are the signs I get from my loved ones who have passed too!! I had a mental breakdown last summer and ran into a quarry near my apartment to cry. I sat down on a big rock and a couple feet in front of me sitting righ on top another smallish rock was a dime, like it was carefully placed there.' I often come across a dime when I'm going through a hard time. It happens too frequently, at the most needed times to be purely coincidence. It's such a comfort to know that the people I love and have lost are still there in some way.

It was the first mother’s day we had been able to spend together in years. As we were having breakfast, a cardinal flew in the open patio door, perched on top of the china cabinet and sat there for about two hours before flying out the door and away.

I see dragonflies after the death of a friend or family. I have had some epic situation‘s, but one I will never forget. It was winter -30, and my friends funeral was in the afternoon. I said to my husband in the morning “I won’t see my dragonfly today” and I was quite upset about about it. I had to work in the morning. At my job my clients have to take their shirt off. My first client took off their shirt and turned around and their whole back was a dragonfly tattoo. My friends name was Michelle and my clients name was Michelle. I completely broke down. I believe!❤ Love your videos Julie, they really help a lot. ❤

I had a similar situation. I am a hospice nurse and had a lot of amazing experiences with butterflies after my mom died. 6 months after her passing, I attended a patient's passing. The grief of losing my mom was still quite raw and I told my client's daughter about the butterflies and how I hoped her mom would send her hellos from Heaven. I said, " but now it's winter and the butterflies are gone." I then went to another room to call the funeral home and give the patient's daughter time alone with her mom. When I stepped into the other room, I saw that the lady who passed had a huge, poster-sized picture of a Monarch butterfly hanging on her wall. I heard God, in my spirit say, "Winter doesn't stop me."

A few years after my mom died. I decided to come to terms with the rocky relationship we had while I was growing up. I finally came to the point were I understood why she treated me the why she did. She was simply the product of the horrible why she was brought up. After I forgive her. I wanted to emphasize the good memories I had of her. One was the great delight she had when she heard the western meadowlark bird song. A few weeks after that when ever I stepped out of my house. I heard that birdsong. From then On every time I heard it I just started to smile and said "Hi" mom. Forgiveness was accepted by all.

Hi Julie, in 2021 my older brother had died in April. He was a pilot by trade, and when we were planning his celebration of life, I wrote a poem for his handout. It was about being a pilot and looking down on his life and family. It was a really nice poem. I also was really interested in listening to Helen Jane Long’s “The Aviator” it just seemed to go together. I always thought of him when I heard the song. One day when I came back from his funeral, I was listening to the song in the back yard early in the morning. This Huge monarch butterfly came flitting into our yard, it presented itself right in front of me, then landed on my head. It sat there for quite a time, then when the song ended, flew away and never came back. Needless to say, when ever I hear The Aviator I think of Dean and every time I see a butterfly I know he’s around just letting me know he right here with me.

I love this. Three days after my dad died I was hitting the bottom of my grief. I was beside myself. Once I managed to come up for air, went out to my back yard, I walked over to see my chickens, and there was a ladybug floating in the bird bath. I rescued it, of course, and she sat on my finger and moved her wings in and out of the red covers to dry them out. In that moment I felt comforted, like my father came to me. It felt like no coincidence. We are Czech, and a common term of endearment for girls/women is “ladybug.” He used to call me this. I was overtaken. The sky, the trees, the breeze, the way the shed smelled, all the things he had given me in it and the love we shared, the worlds seemed to overlap. This sweet little ladybug ushered in two weeks that I saw numerous animals that are quite rare to see: a turtle in the wild (coming down a ditch in the suburbs), a beaver in the river in town (Platte River, south Denver), a herd of bighorn sheep by the highway, and owls in the park. I feel that surely our angels can take animal form to watch over us!

That was a beautiful story and I would love to know the meditation you did. I had a Parsons Russell Terrier a few years ago. I call him my soulmate dog. He was a stinker and knew how to open the fridge and always made a mess. But he loved me so much and I loved him so much too. He got Hemangiosarcoma and I had to have him put to sleep. It was horrible. A week after he passed, I was sitting on the sidewalk on my break at work and my cellphone rang. It was the vets office letting me know his ashes were in. They literally said "your baby's ashes are here." I agree'd to pick them up after work and hung up the phone. Of course I started crying, wonderful thing to do at work, and out of nowhere, this giant red dragonfly came zooming along and sat down right next to me. He stayed with me for quite a while. I got pictures and he even let me pet him. That was significant to me because my dear doggie once ate a dragonfly that my neighbor was screaming at. He thought he was such a good boy for saving her from that bug LOL it was a shocker when he swallowed it LOL but then the day his ashes came in, he sent me a dragonfly. I miss my boy so much.

I took care of my dad in my home the last year of his life until he died. A few days before he died he told me that his uncle had visited him in his room and said he would be coming back soon to take him home. A few days later my father died. A few weeks later I kept finding pennies in odd places. I did not think anything about it, I mean that can happen to anyone. But I would place them in a dish on my dresser. Soon the dish was overflowing. My husband even asked where I was getting all the pennies. I still did not connect these to my dad, I just thought it was weird. One night I got up from bed to get a drink of water in the kitchen. As I walked back I saw a penny lying in my doorway. It had not been there when I left my room. I whispered, “ Dad, is that you?” In the morning I realized it was. My dad had given me a China tea set that was doll sized when I was young and I had that set up on a bookshelf. When I came out of my room in the morning I found my tea set strewn across my carpet. I picked the cups and saucers up and went to place them on the tea tray that they had sat upon. There was a penny on that tray. To this day, 20 years later my dad leaves me pennies on special occasions or when I am troubled. For example, when I got a new home I bought a welcome mat and when I went to lay it down in front of my door there was a penny there.

I love this so much!!! For me, I asked my dear uncle to show me that he was ok by having an owl appear in our yard within three months. We've never ever seen an owl in our yard so maybe I was asking a lot from him. Well, it was 2020 and for the first couple of weeks I would look out the window in hopes of seeing an owl, and soon gave up and forgot about the request. And then one day we had cabin fever so bad that we went out for a leisurely drive in the country. As we returned at dusk and pulled into our driveway ... there it was! Perched on our split-rail fence at the top of the driveway so I couldn't miss it. I was in awe! To top it off, as I walked into the house it dawned on me that it was exactly three months after his passing.

In my younger years I ran a little, 4-6 miles a day. When you run on the roads like I did you are supposed to run against traffic so you can see if there is an issue coming at you. One day on my return run home I decided to run on the other side of the road with traffic coming up behind me instead of against me. I felt uneasy, something telling me I shouldn't be on that side of the road. I didn't know what the feeling was but it made me change sides of the road. As soon as I did, I looked over to where I was and a large fork lift had come loose from the truck that was towing it and it ran up on the sidewalk where I would have been running and eventually ended up in someone's front yard. Ever since then I've felt someone was looking out for me, a greater power. I know there is someone/something taking care of me. Thanks for your postings, they mean a lot.

It was so real to her that she covered herself up. He was smiling without a word and then faded into the sunlight. Finally, a tree right outside his window was growing too close to our deck.

Many years ago, my dad painted a windowsill on the back of our house. After he painted the sill, a TON of ladybugs showed up and stuck themselves into the paint. We all laughed, dad was pissed. Every time I see ladybugs, I think of my dad. And now I will think of you too! 💕💕

[@K3Bear11]

Ohhh Julie....this made me burst out crying with Joy for you!! I have had sooo many of these experiences...the list is long. I usually don't share them as I think others don't really get it....but I am finding more and more people do experience these things. They are without a doubt messages from beyond and trust me....they are related to Hospice. Never, ever 2nd guess the messages that are sent to you....not even for a minute. Much Love for all you do!!! OXO

[@0tter333]

First I'd like you to know, you have helped me tremendously. I was drawn to your video's after my mom, then dad soon after, died. He lived with me the last few months, and we had a wonderful hospice care group. There are no words to describe my gratitude to them🙏 Thank you ALL for your sacrifice, knowledge, and love. My story of believing we can tap into another part of existence, greater power, whatever, happened many years ago. My dog of 15 years died, and my remaining other became ill and had to be put down within a few days. Devastating. I owned 20 acres that I planned to build on, and wanted them buried out there. With no road to my land, I had to use a sled to pull their bodies out there (Scottish Terrier and St. Bernard!). It was hot, I was in terrible grief, and the mosquitoes were in peek season. They were eating me alive. I felt beyond defeated, and eventually sat to cry. I watched (and felt) them biting me. Then, I started to ask them, out loud, to please stop. Just this once. Just this once, please give me time to say goodbye to my sweet companions. I just kept repeating, "Please?" After a short cry, I noticed... They had stopped biting. Still lighting on me, but not another bite until I was close to back at my car after burying my boys. I was very grateful and I knew that somehow something gave me my peace. I lean towards knowing there's so much more 'out there' than we can imagine. I tried telling my Folks my beliefs, and they tried believing, but,.. at least now i feel confident that their Spirits are pain free, they are one with EVERYthing now, and i feel them with me, showing me signs, filling me with love when im down, and I'll be with them again, someday, somehow. That is a deep comfort.

[@tana5098]

Yes. You will. I definitely believe in God and what he has planned for us after our days on Earth are finished. It will be a wonderful reunion with all our deceased loved ones and furry friends. I look forward to being with my Heavenly Father. God Bless You. 🙏🙇‍♀️✝️👑🕊💞

[@Super007sp]

Yes it’s all true. I feel blessed that God gives me little gifts along the way. I’ve lost my entire family now and God is definitely RIGHT THERE when I need him. ❤

[@tana5098]

@Super007sp Isn't a blessing to have the Lord by your side each and every day? I have two siblings left who aren't in my life anymore. It feels as if i'm alone. Luckily, i have an elderly 97 year old mother whom i'm thankful to still have here. But, i know there is coming a day soon when she will no longer be with me, and i'll be alone. Rest in the knowledge that someday you will join your mom and family in a reunion of souls. It will be a grand celebration indeed. This is what i can't wait for when God takes me to my Heavenly home with him. There will be no more sorrow, violence, cruelty, or pain. Only the Angels and our Father to reunite us with our loved ones. Don't be sad. Finish the path that Jesus has set you on and bring joy and gladness to others. Love is the most important thing of all to give unselfishly. It it then that our hearts are full, and those we touch also become filled with the Holy Spirit. May you be blessed in all the days of your life. Amen. 🙏🙇‍♀️⛪️👑💖

My dad died from bone cancer 26 years ago. About 10 years ago, I was visiting his grave and grieving hard for the first man I had ever loved, begging God to show me that he was with Him in heaven. A small ivy leaf blew into my car, sideways. I looked around and could not see any ivy plants on nearby graves. I was content that daddy really was in heaven. On my way home, I decided to drive past the house I had grown up in. Low and behold, it had a for sale sign in the yard and "open house today" on it. I turned into the driveway without thinking and walked into the house. Nothing, and I mean nothing, had changed from the last time I had been in that house. I bawled like a baby. I'm sure the real estate agent thought I had fallen off the crazy train until I explained everything to him. Once, I had composed myself I continued my drive home. All of these years later, I am certain I will see my beloved dad again when my time comes.

My husband died at 40. I was left alone with our toddler. I struggled a lot. We lived on a small lake. One wintry morning I looked out of the picture window at the lake and there were 7 white swans. I had never seen a swan on the lake before. It suddenly occurred to me that it was 7 days until Christmas. I realize that the 12 days of Christmas actually refer to the 12 days AFTER Christmas but I knew in my heart these gifts came from my husband (who would have flubbed that timing up in real life too, ha ha). I never saw swans on the lake again. On a non creature related encounter, the next spring I suddenly had morel mushrooms pop up in our backyard... again, never happened before or again. I still encounter signs that feel as if they are, if not communication from, moments to remember, my husband, mom-in-law, mom, dad... This summer it was preying mantis that seemed to be everywhere in the yard-I like to think they were my MIL letting me know she still prays for us.

[@mtnpeace2]

Absolutely beautiful! I too have had such an experience, and your video is a beautiful reminder. My mother had an NDE when she was 27 and I was 3 (76 now). She imprinted on me that we don’t die, we just become more. She conveyed that she experienced a Love that was so beyond description, its depth and breadth beyond our human ability to know. Long before she passed we had lots of discussions about life, death, beliefs. She reassured me she would let me know we were still connected and we settled on a way she would let me know. Sounds far out to many, but it was how close and connected we were! Three hours after she passed, she came to me exactly as she said she would!😮 I experienced such deep love from her. It was amazing and reassuring . It’s a treasured memory and experience!! Thanks so much for providing this forum!

[@peggyboyer7967]

I was going through a hard time in my twenty’s and as I was sleeping one night I had this incredible dream of a dove flying over me and I felt so peaceful and relived. I to this day remember how strong it felt and when I woke I was different, my problems melted away and I knew that life was good and there is something greater than me and these problems. At 73 to this day this dream is still very much with me and I never forget that there is a higher power and I am safe.

[@annahunter2192]

I've had life changing dreams too. One of them was a pod of dolphins coming to play with me. I was being healed and uplifted with their clicks and joy of being alive and being with me! I felt different when I woke up too. When I saw real dolphins for the first time I cried like a baby (in front of alot of people) Everyone must have thought I was a fruit haha 😅 Nothing I could do about it. I was just overcome ❤ We are quite lucky hey 🕊🐬

[@jacqueline8559]

The dove is the bird of peace. Also, when John the Baptist was baptising Jesus, in the Water, the Holy Spirit descended upon Him ,( shown by a dove flying above Him). God was giving you His peace. You are very Blessed,. He showed his great love for you

[@ChrisJohnson-hk6es]

I had a NDE several years ago. I have never been religious, and I am confident I am a sane person for the most part! 😂 I recall rising above the room, wathing my wife frantically applying a wet towel on my head, and my father in law yelling for me to wake up. I then found myself in a warm white tunnel, going along in the current. I wasnt scared, and it was a very comforting ride. Then I walked into a room and saw all my lost loved ones and close friends! I then remember my beloved Cocker Spaniel pawing at my thigh! I remember running my fingers through his hair, and getting puppy kisses! It was amazingly unreal! We all talked, and i cannot remember a single word we said. I then was guided to a room, and i spoke to someone I couldnt see. Again, i dont remember what was said. But, i ended up in this tunnel again, and i could see my body at the end of the tunnel. I remember trying so hard to make it back, but my arms were getting tired! Then suddenly, i awoke! I remember my first words were, "I just died!" The look on my wifes face was like she had seen a ghost. I remember my arms burning too! I saw what I saw, and I no longer fear death. Im fact, i am excited for what awaits me. This place was beautiful! Colors so vibrant and beautiful.

[@marilynhoward4561]

Last summer, while relaxing on my patio, I suddenly heard a strange, buzzing. When I opened my eyes, there right in front of my face was a humming bird. It just hovered for several seconds until I said, "Is that you, Mama?" It quickly flew away as I smiled with complete shock and joy. 😊❤

[@stevekopcial129]

I just lost my wife to Bladder Cancer in Dec, she had the same type of Lady Bug experience as you did, because of this experience her nickname was Amy bug and she did collect ladybug items., we even have a medium sized Ladybug in our flower garden. This story hit home for me. I even had Ladybug experiences when I worked in several hospitals, at certain times of the year surgery had Ladybugs in the rooms.

[@jackiesmithsmetaldetecting]

This is not quite the same , but My late Father used to have 2 pheasents visit his garden for breakfast, years before that he used to incubate pheasent eggs and put them back in the forests. The day of his funeral he did not want to be brought in the house with an open casket he just wanted to go home then to church, the most strangest thing happened when he arrived home, about 50 pheasents all ran behind the hearse right down his garden and into the fields next to the house, we all stood there watching in shock, never seen them since.

[@Please_Dont_Call_It_Frisco]

Thank you for this. I'm Julie, too! I lost my father to a long battle with Parkinson's in 2021. Only weeks after, my oldest sister died of an accidental overdose. The two deaths were incredibly different, but in the midst of the grief, I had the most peaceful, and sure, knowledge that they were together and that I would see them again in some form. I was working at a hospital at the time, and my sister and father (an RN and a Critical Care physician) seemed to be everywhere. The smells of medical care and healthcare facilities are the anthem of my childhood, and my dad and sister were in the faces of docs, nurses, even patients that I encountered. I refused to go along with my surviving sister and mother's story that my sister died of covid, and I was disinherited and shunned as a punishment. The loss was (and still is) enormous. I would escape to the hospital chapel to nap because the experience caused me such physical fatigue, and I would sleep so peacefully there, even with my Vocera squaking and people filing in and out. Sometimes I wonder if it was all just wishful thinking and a self-preservation act of faith (I am not religious). You validate that my sister and dad are ok. Their energy surely exists on another plane of existence that I don't yet understand, but I have comfort in the simple knowledge that I will be with them again. There is indeed something greater. Thank you. (I recently made a video to honor my sister that is on my channel page)

[@cherylbrooks-ic1pg]

Last night I met my mother's Hospice nurse & she was wearing a large LADY BUG pin. I've been watching your videos for a few months, & this is the 1st time, I believe, hearing your story of higher power & 🐞's. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. I believe, but I feel like I see Spirit in SO MANY ways. I'm glad you have the lady bug, Julie. Peace & love to you.

[@marynance4302]

The day i had to let my dog Livie go was one of the hardest days of my life. She was my ❤. Driving home from the vet's a very vivid rainbow appeared right in front of me and stayed there all the way home. I knew she was with me.

[@pattibond2342]

On my dog's one year anniversary, I was struggling (I still am). I was driving back from somewhere that we went often. Of Course she was on my mind. I look ahead, and there were 3 rainbows. I had lost 3 dogs/my kids, at that time (a few years apart). Then the weirdest thing .... Suddenly, it was like I was driving Inside a Cloud of rainbows. It stayed with me! I kid you not. It was So weird & unbelievable, that I looked out my driver window, and I was still "inside it"!!! It's like it was moving with me! I busted out crying & Thanking God. I've asked God often for confirmation, & I pray Every day that I'll be reunited with them. He has Always given me signs that are Special to me, and that Only He can do! As a Believer, I know where I'm going when I die. Everything, is made by God we we are All His Creation. Animals will be in Heaven; and it's So like Gods character, for Our pets to be there too!

[@paulaglover6510]

Hi Julie! I loved your ladybug story. My father died several years ago, and a few years later my sister told me that every time she saw a ladybug she knew Daddy was visiting her. I thought, "He must not love me as much because I never see ladybugs!" Before I go on, I have to tell you he was a wonderful, hard working man, but also very clumsy. So a day or so after I was feeling sorry for myself thinking he didn't love me, what do you know? A lady bug lands on my car windshield. It fell on landing, slid down the windshield, and tried to get back up while sliding and still falling. My dad loves and visits me, too❤

[@nisamskreuzer5891]

Thank you nurse Julie, You remind me why I became a nurse. Not something I see but an experience of expansion. I went to a funeral in a small community in the mountains of only a couple 100 people. Standing outside I felt her spirit rise and grow covering the whole valley. It was so intense, awe inspiring and mesmerizing. 30 years ago, I will never forget.

[@nellyb2434]

I was having a particularly hard time with someone I'd been dating for a few months. I had stayed over that night and in my heart I realised he wasn't a good person to be with. I went and sat on the floor of his bathroom in the morning, head in hands getting ready to get dressed and get out of there for the last time. I shut my eyes and just thought 'oh mum, I wish I could speak to you, just one more time' and felt incredibly sad that I couldn't as she'd passed years before. I lifted my head up and opened my eyes and there in front of me was the most beautiful butterfly. It began circling around me and i felt this amazing calm and peace..a direct contrast with how I'd just been feeling. I stood up and it flew to the door. I opened the bathroom door and it flew to a bedroom, with purpose, straight to a sash window that was closed. It slipped immediately through the tiniest gap between the two windows and I watched it fly away up towards the sky. I was absolutely stunned and mesmerised and to this day, I believe that was my mum.

[@beckykay9178]

You are divinely cared for, lovely lady. God loves you. And he is using you in a mighty way to help others at a difficult time in life. Much love to you. You have just helped me understand what happened to my dear father-in-law in the days leading up to his recent death. Interestingly, I felt that I was divinely guided to go see him just over a week before he died. Nobody else recognized the signs of impending death but me. Had I not listened to that voice somewhere inside me (which I believe was the Holy spirit) my husband, our kids and I would have missed our opportunity to say goodbye to this wonderful man.

[@kathygildea2025]

Oh yes, I believe the Holy Spirit guides us in this way. What a precious story.❤

Julie I love your story ♥️🐞 My thing is rainbows. At the darkest times in my life or when I’m seeking answers I’ve seen rainbows in the sky. Every time it’s been on a clear, sunny day. Sometimes they come in full blown, other times it’s just a bit of a rainbow. But it’s there and it can’t be denied. Always gives me peace. 🌈

A couple of months after my mom died, I was grieving and feeling desperate. I just wanted to know if she was around. So, I asked her. The next day I was out walking in a wooded park with my dogs and a friend and not thinking about my request. One of my dogs stopped to smell something and was very persistent. I looked down and in the fall leaves saw two tiny angel wings. They were like charms with rhinestones , but without any eyeholes. I could not believe my eyes. Today those little wings are framed and hanging in my home, a constant reminder of my mom’s presence in my life.

[@murtazaarif6507]

I remember at the age of about eleven I was running on the deserted beach trying to fly a kite and I fell in a pit. It was a warm dusky evening and maybe seagulls flying and quacking too. I started laughing hysterically. I felt the presence of God telling me there are exciting things in store for me as my parents were planning to move to England from Belgium where i was born and bred. I was excited for what my life had in store. So for me it seems seeing the orange glow at dusk is a form of God's presence in my life.

[@iwillnotbesilent1438]

Hi Julie, I just stumbled across your channel this morning. My mom died in hospice almost 12 years ago. She died 6 days before my birthday. It was a tremendous loss for me. I’ll never forget the feeling of leaving hospice that night, going back to my parent’s house, and walking into the house. It was the worst feeling ever. I know my mom is with me because she gives me signs but for the last couple years on the anniversary of her death (which happened to be the first day of spring) a cardinal has appeared. It brings me great joy and comfort. I hope my story can for someone else too.

Love this story! Thanks for sharing it! You asked if I've ever seen a sign/symbol from a loved one, and the answer is yes. My mom passed away three years ago in May when everyone's tulips were blooming but mine. On the day of her funeral, I made a request that mine bloom by the end of the day. When I returned home from the cemetery, I was shocked to see one tulip had finally opened. With tears streaming down my face, I asked Mom if that was indeed a sign from her and, if so, could she please give me another one. A few moments later a bird flew overhead and crapped on my back. And I knew that was Mom telling me not to doubt her any more.

Merry Christmas Nurse Julie❣️ My sister died from a brain tumor a few years ago. I lived in an apartment that had a balcony at least 150 feet up in the air. Right after she passed ladybugs were in my living room and kitchen every day for about 6 months. It was nothing short of astonishing 🐞🐞🐞❤🐞❤🐞❤🐞❤🐞

[@robinshaye6047]

My mother passed away during the early hours of a Saturday in June 2014. I began the religious Jewish tradition of attending synagogue every evening to recite the "Mourners Kaddish (prayer)" for my mother. On Friday night, the prayer service was held outside, as it was the beginning of Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath). There is one prayer that is recited called the Amidah. The first part is following what is written in the prayer book. The next part is for each participant to pray on a more personal level, and then everyone recites the end. During the personal prayer part, a huge butterfly landed on the top of my open prayer book. It sat there and appeared to be looking at me, and didn't move. Toward the end of the prayer, it turned around, and opened & closed it's wings a few time...then it flew off. It only landed on my book, and didn't visit anyone else who was there. I felt as if it was my mother who had come to tell me she was ok.

[@VoyagerNow3043]

I love the morning sunrise. I marvel at its beauty and tell God thank you. Few days ago was my bday and the sunrise that day was spectacular with pinks, oranges, purples, blues clouds. I felt it was for me, smiled and said thank you.

[@valoritanner23]

Oh my heck!! My daughter died suddenly last year. When we found her, a ladybug landed on my finger, I then saw, in my minds eye, my daughter for like seconds and she said “Mom, I’m okay”. It was a huge blessing because we didn’t find her for 9 days after she passed (talk about enormous guilt). Ever since then we get ladybugs all the time. There are so many miraculous ladybugs that have come to me and my family. I only saw “real” ladybug then and one time a few days later. My family and close friends got them all the time. They sent me all the pictures of them randomly having ladybugs come to them, in their house at night flying onto a tv, etc. I was sad because the only ones I saw were inanimate ones and pictures in a game she introduced me to,etc. Then one day, a couple of months ago, I could give no more. I was more than drowning in the things that I had to do at work that I looked up and said to my Heavenly Father, what do you want from me as I was sobbing. I went to the third floor, where I work, in the restroom, far from any door or window. As I was in my stall, I looked down and there was a bug spinning around on its back. I thought, “I will at least turn it over so it could crawl away. When I turned it over, it was a ladybug. I knew then that God heard me and saw me then gave me what I needed to go on. It stayed with me for 3-4 minutes and then flew away. This was on the third floor of a building that has no windows, in that area, or doors. I absolutely knew it was for me! If I can figure it out, I will send the video.

[@Rockymtnbloom]

Thank you. I hope you have found love, you are a wonderful woman. I had two similar experiences when a chickdee appears, a message from my husband. Also I had a similar experience when depressed and lonely while spading my garden, very much like meditation. A dragonfly landed on my arm and kept looking at me, turning its head. I felt a shower of love and understanding from my higher self. A real turning point. The dragonfly stayed for 15 minutes or so, only flying away after I thanked it.

Hi Julie, thank you for sharing all this! I have been following you for over a year now and I love your channel. It's so interesting and soothing. My dad died unexpectedly only 10 days ago. Before his father (my grandpa) died 20 years ago, I was praying st Therese de Lisieux for either his health or his peaceful death. She's the saint of the "rain of roses": when your prayers are heard, she'll send a rose as a sign. I received 60 roses..My grandpa died 6 days later, on October 1st (the saint's day). So when my dad died, I asked for a sign that he was at peace...on the day of his funeral, Aug 8th 2024, as I was leaving the house, I bumped into a huge vase with an old rose tree...it was there in the middle of the street, in a bag, ready for me to find it. Such a comforting sign... I burst into tears immediately. The plant is now on my balcony. Dad and grandpa are reunited ❤

[@jeanhansel5805]

For me, it's thunder and lighting, which comforts me. I feel a connection to the one I lost; it took us years to connect, and he died in front of me after 10 months together. During the evening funeral service in church the lights flickered and the rain was pouring down, and the thunder was the loudest I had ever heard and the lightning strikes were spectacular. It was as though he was there beside me. Bumble bees are another form of connection from a loved and lost one. A dear and close friend of mine died from cancer years ago. I was so upset I had to take the week off from work. As I was lying in my bed, I saw two rods of florescent lights move across my hall ceiling, into my bedroom, wrapped themselves around my neck and were gone. I knew that was my friend saying goodbye. Dreams are another means of communication from loved ones, as are guardian angels providing protection. The ability to have these extra-sensory experiences is a gift which I greatly treasure.

Nurse Julie I also had a kind of vision after my mother struggled with lung cancer and put up the good fight for 3 years her poor body body couldnt take anymore and i was totally devastated when she died .About 2 weeks after her burial I was in a very deep sleep I was so depressed I hadnt been out of bed much during that time anyway I was woke up to her beating on my front door hollaring Michell get up and by the time i got there she was walking out the driveway she looked great she looked like she did when she was 30 yrs.old .I think she came to comfort me and let me know she was ok and ever since then I look at death a different way
