Today is June 15, and it's been 8 days since my Dad was pronounced as brain dead. I could swear that I felt him as he passed on to the other side. The next time that I saw him he was still on life support, but I knew in my heart that he was already gone. I look forward to hearing from him. Found this site in the book, "Hello From Heaven".

I am so glad I found this great site! I lost my30 yr old brother Andy last year to suicide. It is hard enough dealing with a death in which you know is forthcoming due to old age or terminal illness, but to lose someone so unexpectantly is extremely hard to accept. A little over a year has past since his death. Time as they say, does heal. But for the first few months after Andy's death, I was numb..a Zombie. I couldn't function normally as I was filled with utter shock, disbelief, and a deep set in grief. One night, a few weeks after the death, I was laying on the couch reading through a book I had just bought on suicide. I had just finished reading a chapter about how souls that have passed on try to communicate with us by using various methods. The house was very quiet..it was around 2am, and I layed the book on my lap and was filled with a warm feeling throughout my body. I thought how wonderful it would be to have Andy send or show me some sort of signal to let me know he is okay, and that he is still with us. About a minute or two after the thought, my cordless phone began to ring two rings at a time (which it only does if you press the intercom button on the hand piece) To stop the ringing, I had to press the on/talk button. I was sure it was Andy trying to signal me. I felt him there. It was a fantastic, exhilirating moment! I sat there on the couch just staring at the phone, listening to the double rings sound over and over. Being that it was so late, I figured I better get up and make it stop ringing before it woke the kids. Only minutes after stopping the ring, I was still stunned and asking out loud, "Andy, if that was you, please do it again!" Nothing happened and I started to wonder if it were merely a coincidence. I was feeling let down as I headed into my bedroom to finally get some sleep. As soon as I covered myself with the blanket, the ringing started again. I got up, went out to the living room, pressed the button to stop the ringing and thanked Andy for listening, told him I love him and said goodnight. That experience was a tremendous help in letting me deal with my grief. I believe our loved ones whom have passed are always with us. They listen to us and they come to talk to us in our dream state when we are most receptive to their messages. The days come and go with passing seasons, holidays, birthdays and anniversaries that are sometimes hard to deal with. But time does heal. And I know Andy will always be with me.

Hi...My name is Jenelle...I am 15 years old. I recently lost my cousin Rain, she was 4 months old and the day after she died, she would've been 5 months. I miss her alot...I still remember babysitting her, holding her...and I still cry to this day. Also, 11 years ago (June 17th) -- would be my father's death...I was only 4 years old when he died, so I didnt understand what was going on, and don't remember him. I wish that I could've known him longer...but I sometimes think -- is it better he died while I was young? What I mean is if he would've died recently, wouldnt've it been harder? If anyone agree's or disagree's with my question, please E-mail me. Anyways, I've lost many others in my life, including grandparents and friends of the family...I just wanna say -- You never realize how much you love someone until their gone, so take advantage of the time you've got to spend with them...

I lost my brother about 5 years ago. I still miss him dearly. After his death I believe he was around. We had a salt shaker fall over. And when I was out of town stay in a hotel room. The bathroom light came on by itself. I was upset about a fight I had with my boyfriend. I still want very much to see him and talk to him. And have hope and prayed for that to happen. He died a month before his 30th birthday.

Finally. Someone else who beleaives. I love your book and your web site. I hope to meet people that can understand what I'm going through and willing to listen.. God bless all who beleave and thanks for being there.
