People we care about who pass away often come back and comfort us either just before our transition or just simply to help with the grief that remains for the human left behind.
Weirdly dimes are a recurring theme of connection as are pennies.
In this story a woman in San Antonio was suffering because she had had a stroke and her health was rapidly deteriorating. She was in pain and quite anxious about what was going to become of her as her health deteriorated. One night she had an extremely vivid dream. Her late husband came to visit. He sat in the chair next to her bed and was comforting her when he said ‘’I’ll get you through this’’. In the dream the woman replied, ‘’you can’t you’re dead’’.
The next morning began as usual with the lady getting a cup of coffee and straightening the house. Doing what she could after her stroke. She noticed a shiny dime on the cushion of her living room chair. There was no explanation for it. She didn’t have dimes in her pocket that could have fallen out; she kept her change in her purse. She didn’t think much of it as the day went on, but then she found another one in the kitchen on the counter shiny and new just sitting there. She was 100% sure that she had not randomly put that dime on the counter and no one else had been in the house. After she found a third time she was really stopped in her tracks and she started to think. She suddenly remembered that her husband, over the years, had saved dimes to create a little nest egg for them as they grew older. As soon as she remembered the dimes her husband used to collect and the dream she recently had where he had told her he was taking care of her she thought maybe he IS with me and helping me and from that point forward – no more dimes because his message had been received. He was with her, taking care of her and waiting for her to join him.
I had a friend Heather whose husband passed away suddenly after a stroke. He fell and hit his head and it was the head injury that caused his demise. in their life together white feathers did not play a role that she could recall. After his death though, she would found white feathers in mysterious places where it really made no sense. In her drawer, in her car, in a hotel room. Strange places but every time she knew that it was her husband saying I’m here. She grieved heavily for a long time and the white feathers continued to appear until one day when she was in a grief support group where she struck up a friendship with another man.
Death makes humans sad quite often. Sometimes relieved if the person was suffering, but overall it’s a constant – death throughout our life. The ways that the person who has passed away attempts to comfort us are endless and quite often speak directly to the Grieving person in a manner that affirms it is the person recently passed.
