Seeing Our Departed Loved Ones

Of all the desired after-death communications one could receive, seeing a departed loved one in the physical realm again, is desired above all.

Since her beloved husband, Art, passed, Sally has been no stranger to after-death communications from him. Each one delighted her in ways that only a visit from Heaven can. What Sally really wanted more than anything though, was to see Art again in her physical world. A tall order for most of us, as well as our departed to achieve.

Picture this.

It was a beautiful warm and sunny Autumn day, at the secluded lake house cottage. A beautiful day for a wedding. Lake and woods as far as the eye could see. Gathered at the ceremony as witnesses were approximately 40 seated guests.

On the deck of the cottage lake house stood the Groom, Michael Whitey and Bride, Kyra, to be united in marriage. Also there, the Groom’s men, Bride’s maids and Marriage Official. The men were dressed in khaki trousers and navy sports jackets. The bride was dressed in white. The bride’s maids were dressed in black dresses.

Excitement was in the air on this beautiful day as it was finally the moment that the couple would tie the knot.

Then, there was Art…

Leaning up against the cottage wall on the deck with the wedding line, stood Art. He was even dressed in khaki pants and navy sports jacket, just like the rest. Wearing the same attire  even when he could not be seen by most, demonstrated to the one who did see him, Sally, his support, approval and participation in the new union being formed. And, of course, she would share this with their son.

Art passed in Spring of 2023, and yet there he was. Sally was looking right at him. As Michael and Kyra were reciting their vows to one another and Michael messed up a little, embarrassed, he started to laugh. Art chuckled too. Sally says it was a typical response from Art.

Art was in a clear and solid form. He stood about 6 feet from his son, where he leaned against the wall and about 10 feet from his beloved wife. He was there just under an hour. He looked the same way he always did, very recognizable in looks, as well as in mannerisms.

Seeing a Departed

Honestly, seeing a departed loved one this clear, solid and for this long is not as common as we would wish, though it does happen.

Art was standing there for so long that Sally actually thought he would probably be in attendance at the Wedding Dinner, right after. However, Art disappeared after the vows were given and she did not see him anymore after that. Sally also found out that she had been the only one to see Art at the wedding. Sally said that Art never looked anywhere except at the bride and groom.

Don’t forget the Cowboy theme!

After Sally told me about her miraculous experience, I asked her if I could share it as a post, to which she agreed.

When I was asking Sally for more clarity about some things, I saw a cowboy theme that quickly flashed before my eyes and I felt that this was given to me by Art. I asked her, “What did seeing this have to do with Art?”

At first, Sally confirmed that Art wasn’t a Cowboy. Then, Sally remembered the day after the wedding was a western-theme reception party at Michael’s. The girls wore denim dresses and some of the guys wore boots and cowboy hats. Michael was among them, boots and hat.

Art’s Message

Up to that point, Sally had not told me anything about the reception party or its western theme. She only told me of the wedding and the wedding dinner. She was wondering and maybe even expecting Art to be at the other events as well. However, she did not see him at either.

What this exchange told me in realtime is that Art was hearing our conversation when she shared her experience with me. She didn’t see Art anywhere but the Wedding. Art sent me the image of the cowboy so I would ask her about it.

Art wanted to let Sally know that he was also at the cowboy-themed reception the next day because he could describe it to me by showing me an image. Art not only hears (perceives) Sally when she talks, but he hears her wishes and concerns. He wanted to let her know.

The bottom line of Art’s message.  “Even though you don’t always know it, I am always with you. I always know what is going on in your life. And, In fact, I’m everywhere that you are.”

Loneliness After Loss

Among all the stages of grief, probably the hardest part is the loneliness. The vast missing of a beloved seems to extend forever in all directions for a time.

Art and Sally

Art and Sally were married for 54 years. When Art, suddenly passed away just over a year ago, It broke Sally’s heart. Since then, Sally has been grieving and missing her husband terribly.

Throughout their marriage, Art loved to take care of things for Sally, inside the house… and out. He was very handy, capable and could fix just about anything.

In the warmer months, you could see Art outside, wearing his sun hat, either on his tractor or physically working in the yard around the family house they built for themselves. In fact, he liked hats so much that when they would go on any adventure, he would buy a baseball hat as a souvenir. Continue reading

Knock Knock. He’s there!

In this After-death Communication, Marie is visited by her beloved husband, with a series of knocks on her window, on two separate occasions.

Marie writes to me:
“In April of 2023, my dear husband of 45 years, passed away suddenly from a fall in our garage. I found him, and was so sad I wasn’t there to help. He wasn’t sick. He had a vibrant life. He loved flying and was training for an aerobatics competition, and still had a beautiful head of blonde hair!”

“The day he died, there was a large white egret (water bird) in our tree. We live in the desert.”

First occurrence,
“A few months later in June, I was sitting in the family room with our dog. I was still very sad. There were two gentle knocks on my window. I thought I was hearing things. Then, there were three knocks on my window. Puzzled, my dog heard those, he got up ran toward the window and stopped.” Continue reading

When Heaven Comes to Us

In the last nine days of her brother, Joseph’s life, Marijo and her mother experience a preview of the heaven that awaited their loved one.

Marijo writes:
I was very blessed to experience a beautiful shared-death experience with my younger brother in July of 2021.

Just 8 days prior, he made the decision to pass peacefully in a hospice facility. His body had completely been wrecked by his progressive auto-immune disease and a pathogen found in his lungs after a bout of Covid. His physical body was in failure and he was working with a body that could no longer fight.

For nine days, my mother, Toni, and I sat with him. My mother’s worst fear was he would die alone. My fear was she would be alone to watch him pass. As other family came in and out, we left the room for brief periods to eat, rest, shower, and pray. Continue reading

Communication with our Departed

When Carol wonders if the conversations she is having in her head with her departed son, Kyle, are real… she puts it to the test.

Carol writes:
My son, Kyle, passed in May of 2020 at the age of 40 from an accidental overdose. I began having “conversations” in my mind with him a few months later. I was skeptical though, and wondered if it weren’t just my wishful thinking.

So one night I said to him: “Kyle, if it’s really you, send me a different sign right now – that will make me laugh and will be unmistakably you!” No more than a second later, my phone dinged – it was a text from the next door neighbor.

Now, first of all, I never get texts from her – let alone at 10PM! Second, she had been a very nasty neighbor. Kyle, his dad, and I used to joke about misfortune befalling her, e.g. “I hope her tree blows down”, I hope her roof leaks” etc. We would never actually do anything but we did joke about it a lot.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

As Linda’s perception shifts, so does her pain level. Scarcity thinking is so common in humans that we barely even notice. Notice though. It makes a difference.

Linda writes:
I have been very blessed to have received several after-death communications of various kinds from my beloved soulmate, Thellis, since he transitioned 2 years ago on this very day.

Three of these after-death communications have been documented on Jade’s website.
Visitations Through the Portal, The Power of Sheer Will and The Medicine that is Hope.

In The Medicine that is Hope, I experienced the appearance of a flock of mourning doves in the dead of winter on a snowy morning. It came at a point in which I was so profoundly despondent. I thought that I surely could not survive his being gone and had asked that he please give me a sign of his presence. I had specifically been asking to see a mourning dove, his favorite bird. I also knew this was ridiculous request to be making in middle of winter in Vermont. Continue reading

A Heartfelt Plea for Unity

Lisa’s beloved mother, Mimi, once visited her daughter in a mind-blowing after-death communication. Then came, Mimi’s next visit.

Lisa wrote:
“Years ago after my mother passed, you posted the extraordinary after-death communication I had with my mother, called, Mimi’s Heaven. It really rocked my world back then. Well, recently, my mother came back to me in a visitation dream that was even more profound. I’m excited to share it.”

“As with my last experience with my mother, again, she took me through time and space, stopping briefly at nebulas and star clusters to view their glory. This time she reaffirmed to me that God had created all living things, all creatures big and small.” Continue reading

A Spiritual Intervention

In a near-death experience, an impending death is interrupted when Ryan’s deceased Grandpa comes in an after-death communication, for the ultimate intervention.

Ryan’s experience

Since the age of 13, Ryan had used some sort of drug or another. He used them for fun or as an escape. By the time he was 33 years old, he had been through drug rehab five times. However, right before having one of the most life-altering experiences one could ever have, Ryan was into one of the most addictive drugs, Heroin.

Ryan lived with his girlfriend and their two small children in his mother’s house. One day, when Ryan’s girlfriend and children were gone visiting relatives and his mom was out of town, Ryan had a profound experience. Continue reading

Adjusting to a Spiritual Relationship

Sometime after Kenneth’s husband, Jon, passes away, Kenneth realizes they can still hang out at times.

Kenneth writes:
“My husband, Jon, passed away in June of 2016. I had a very hard with handling him not being here in the physical.”

“It’s been over five years now. I had to realize that just because he was gone, it didn’t mean we couldn’t see each other. To this day, he often communicates with me in my dreams. That is our new way of being with each other. When he is in my dreams we are all over the place- places I don’t know and people I don’t know.” Continue reading

Hugging a Departed Loved One

After Jan repeatedly asked her departed mother for a hug, her heart’s desire is realized. Twice!

The Twilight Bridge

The Twilight Bridge

Jan writes:
“I had a couple of “dreams” again of my mom, but I am not sure if it was a regular dream or a “twilight bridge” dream. What I wrote to you before in “The Twilight Bridge” post were definitely not dreams. That much was obvious.”

“Now, I will try and explain my question to you. I had said out loud for many weeks that I wanted to hug mom. Then, I had two different dreams. Both were in the same setting, it seemed outside somewhere, not here in the house. It was like I drifted into an outdoor area where my mom was socializing with some people. She noticed me, smiled and greeted me with these people around her. It seemed like she was by a car. In trying to make sense of it all, I thought we were going on one of our short trips for the weekend or maybe we were there already.” Continue reading

Visitations Through the Portal

One night last Christmas time, while making her rounds in the hospital, Linda notices something very interesting in the hospital safety mirror. 

Linda writes:
“This past December of 2020, marked 3 months since the transitioning from this earthly realm of the only man I ever truly deeply loved since I was 25 years old. Due to circumstances in each of our lives we could not be together, but we share a beautiful daughter, and love between us never ended and never will.”

“I was really struggling and in so much sorrow and pain. And although I was so very blessed as to receive some very special signs/communication from him, I just could not seem to find at times, my way out of that deep dark place of loss.” Continue reading

Healings From Our Departed

While Melisa is sick and scared and unsure of what to do, Grandma mysteriously appears and miraculously heals her ailments.

Melisa writes:
“I am trying to make sense of an experience that I had several months ago and am not able to find any similar experiences online and am interested in trying to find out if others have seen the same thing as I have.”

“One night I felt feverish with chills, so I went into my closet and put on a robe that used to be my grandmother’s robe that she gave to me. I went back to bed but was unable to sleep. I began to feel more ill and was so scared that I might die because my heart was beating so fast and I was silently crying. I was on the verge of waking my husband who was sleeping next to me and ask him to take me to the ER.” Continue reading

A Hologram Spirit Visitation? Is That a Thing?

While Kim peacefully slumbers, her departed husband, Terry, materializes as he literally watches over her while she sleeps.

Kim Writes:
“I read your latest post about ‘The Twilight Bridge.‘ You have no idea how timely this was for me. My experience with seeing Terry, happened just before dawn. I wake up several times nightly, look at the clock, sometimes watch the TV that I usually leave on now for “company” in hopes of keeping my mind occupied, so as not to dwell on my grief.” Continue reading

The Twilight Bridge

After her mother’s recent passing, a sorrowful Jan, is repeatedly visited by her mother on the Twilight Bridge.

Jan writes:
“It is difficult to find anywhere to ask this question and it has bothered me since my Mom passed away a year ago. I had been living with mom for about 8 years and helping her to live in her home. She was 99 years old and fell while I was with her and did not recover. So, I do feel guilt, but everyone tells me it is not my fault.”

“After she passed (I live in her home), I was half-asleep. She came into the bedroom. I saw her in my mind, very clear. My eyes were closed and I wanted to wake up but my body felt frozen. I saw her distinctly for about 3 seconds and immediately woke up.” Continue reading

The Medicine That Is Hope

Just when all seems lost, a distressed Linda cries out to her beloved, Thellis, for help and receives it in a most unexpected and delightful way. 

Linda writes:
“I had not been on my game since just before Christmas. Slipping down into the deep end of the latest emotional abyss. There was something below, pulling on me, as I continued hanging on to the metaphorical life preserver of my grief.  Even amidst my grief, I would feel pretty darn good, calm and breathing air and all, then all of a sudden under water, swimming in emotion and struggling to get back up to save myself from drowning in my sorrow.” Continue reading
