Do you believe it's at all possible for dead loves ones to communicate with us?

Of course. Spring and Fall Linda visits me. Cancer took her in 2009. Sun's arc shines through the kitchen window and through prisms hanging in the window. Casts a rainbow of color on the floors, walls and down the hall. I feel her presence.

Linda was always into multi-colors and it's her way of telling me she's still around.

OK, let me ask this. Has anyone had a death experience? One in which medical professionals believed you to be dead because you exhibited all the signs of death but you lived? Can you discuss this if it ever happened to you?? Thanks. :unsure:

I wasn't pronounced dead..but When I was 7 I was rushed ( blue lighted) to hospital with appendicitis.. and operated on immediately

I had at that young age never seen inside an operating theatre.. or a surgeon in his scrubs so had no idea about these things.. but during the operation.. and I can remember this very clearly to this day.. I watched them work on me from up above in a corner of the room..

I watched while 2 surgeons with ankle length green gowns worked on me and other staff worked all around the table. I saw this clearly...

...then I woke up in a hospital bed in a dark ward lit only by one lamp on the desk at the far end of the ward where a nurse sat... and I was throwing up, as she ran fast to get me something to puke into...
 
No, I don't think it's possible, once you're dead, you're dead. I've lost many close relatives who I loved and loved me. When they passed I was very sad and heartbroken, and in my mind welcomed them to communicate with me in any way, but of course, that never did happen despite my sincere invitation. I did have an open mind.

I have had dreams of beloved relatives who I lost, but they were dreams, likely from my waking thoughts of that person beforehand, or just random dreams which could include a neighbor, friend, acquaintance.

If someone believes a lost love one is showing some kind of communication, and it gives them peace of mind, that's wonderful.

Maybe there is a part of us that exists eternally. I believe that's possible, especially after reading that genetic and molecular scientists have only identified the function of 3% of our DNA, or something like that. Might have been 7%, but in any case, these scientists are asking, what does the other 90-some percent do? Is it energy-producing DNA? Is it living? If so, what supports it and when is it no longer living?

@Murrmurr, you got me thinking from this part of your post.

Scientists tell us that energy can neither be created or destroyed, so what happens to the electricity that is in our bodies when we die? Could that be our soul & it's still around after we pass, but in a form that most people aren't aware of? Maybe those who keep an open mind are able to connect with that energy of those who have passed because they sense it in some way. Maybe some of those souls are strong enough to form back into their original looks when they contact people.

At my parents house growing up when I was around 10-12 yo, twice I seen someone who appeared in white clothes but it was a man's form only from the waist up. They didn't believe me either time, but I know what I saw. Ten years later at work I seen the same thing one night when I was alone in the office & since then nothing. About 10 years later out of the blue it came to me who it was...my Dad's buddy from the Navy during WW2. He had been killed in combat from a blast & only his torso was found.

Some years later I was at my brother's house & we were talking about things when we were growing up. He brought up what he & our other brother had seen. I didn't say anything until he was done with his story, but he pretty much described what I had seen. He said you probably don't believe me & I then I told him I did because I had seen the same thing & who I believed it was.

So yes, I believe those who have past on can contact you & it doesn't necessarily mean you knew them. Just that you had some type of connection in common with them.
 
Just took out a new non-fiction from library. Saw author, Sebastian Junger being interviewed a few times on TV. Titled "In My Time of Dying" (isn't that a Led Zep song?) it is his story, a scientist, an atheist, who had an NDE concerning his father, also atheist scientist. Junger attempts to explain his NDE in non-godly ways. I didn't start to read it yet, but I'm anxious, myself an atheist with many so called "paranormal" experiences.
 
My personal experience, the dam things gonna crush me, I is a gonna die. The pain, oh the pain. Broken femur. Crushed hip. Both arms broken. Didn’t go into shock. Oh the awful pain. I have to stitch you up. Pain killers? Go ahead dock it actually feels good. Dr. Says, I can’t believe it. It hurt for a year. I worked it. Movement back. No pain.

No mystery. Just how the heck?

No, I think it is just wishful thinking. I'd imagine someone who was raised believing in reincarnation would wishfully believe their pet cat is their grandfather, and people raised with religions of signs and omens would wishfully believe they were seeing signs/omens of communications with dead relatives. People who have watched a lot of modern movies would frame their beliefs on the behavior of dead spirits in fictional movies.

I think it is kind of creepy when people believe themselves about it, to me it feels like they don't have good control over their own brains.

Actually, i frequently point out to people the ways so called paranormal phenomena are different from in novels, movies and TV. And i have always looked for mundane explanations.
 
U R waist time feywon! It’s nothing but a crock!
Feeling sorry of oneself, letting pain drain, sure its hard to relax.
Forget the total crap is a great choice.

Are your temps reasonable this week/ It’s been a great week of mid 70’s induced by Hurricane.

Yes, have described it elsewhere on SF. Too tired right now to do so again. But it was a turning point for me. Everything wasn't suddenly better, but my attitude had changed.
 
Not sure if this is an appropriate response to the question, but I often dream of my late husband when I have a lot on my mind, and am trying to figure things out in my life. In the dreams we are sitting just having a long talk about things. In a way, I feel this is him helping me work through whatever is concerning me. I can often work through my issues, or, if anxious, am feeling less anxious
 
I remember so clearly when my husband was in palliative care and it was getting close to time, he turned to me and said a policeman had come into his room, I asked who it was, but he didn't answer. Only then did I realise his late father was a policeman in his younger days and was getting ready to help him on his journey. Also, when my father's mother was dying in hospital, in England, my aunt said she kept looking at the end of her bed and saying "I'm coming Tom", and this was her late husband Thomas who died 40 years before. I really do believe someone will be waiting for us on our final journey.
 
After my late DIL's nephew passed away suddenly due to complications of weight loss surgery, she, his younger brother and a good friend of his all mentioned at his memorial service that he had communicated with them. Before that I had become concerned with the way my DIL had spoken about him...like she was actually communicating with him, to the point I thought she was in crisis. Well, apparently, he reached out to others too. His good friend said she first heard him when she was driving.

My DIL "T" died and her twin sister "S" died two months apart (both from COVID). Their mother, who was in a nursing home has three other daughters. The grandson (twin's son) visited her every day, despite his very busy career. They never told her of her grandson's death nor that her two daughters had passed. She told her remaining daughters and her grandson that T & S came to visit her. I have another chilling, yet heartwarming story about the dead communicating that involves a child in their family, but I'll post it another time in the Paranormal group.

Although I saw an entity (spirit or Jinn) in here, he wasn't someone I know, so I don't consider it a communication.

My mom and dad were in an automobile accident which took my dad in 1979
In the hospital my mom didn't ask about dad at all and I found that strange
Years later mom would tell me that dad came to her in the hospital and said his goodbyes
Not physically present of course. And she knew he was gone.
She didn't have to ask or be told.

Until science can prove that is impossible ... I believe my mom

As far as a near death experience, I've had one and posted a thread elsewhere here
If I could pick and chose the way I go ... maybe it would be lightening again
I never heard nor felt a thing. Happened quicker than the snap of a finger
 
I believe in the wind. Although I cannot see it, its effects may be seen and felt. In like fashion, I believe that deceased loved ones can sometimes leave an impression on our minds, even understanding that it’s possibly just a wishful projection, or the programming that their lives had upon us.

Months after her death, as I sat alone weeping at the grave of my first fiancé, a woman appeared out of nowhere, and began comforting me. I have no idea who the woman was, and had never seen her before or since. I have also had strong impressions of my late fiancé riding in the car with me for some distance after leaving the cemetery. Unseen, yet an essence distinctly known to me and almost palpable.

in a more mundane incident, I was stymied by an ill-fitting door in my house. I was somehow guided to a toolbox of my father I inherited where I found a wood plane he had given me as a child. I used that very wood plane as if guided by his spirit to fix the door, something I had never done before.- - Thanks, Dad! 🙂
 
You dream when you doze. Off and on all night long. Deep sleep, light sleep, rem.
The dreams can be quite complicated or very simple. Maybe you can’t accomplish
a task or you are someone else. It’s you dreaming, your mind storing stuff in the
Subconcius. Stuff being dug out of your subconscious. Maybe it keeps you sane.

What’s the truth, whats total fiction? It’s your dream, crazy or not. It would seem
one soon wakes up after the last dream. Maybe you dream your cat is sleeping
against your back, wake up and there he is puring away. Very happy Cat.

Why no great cats or dogs / pets in heaven. No horses or Trojan dispensaries.
No Ladies of the night. Why don’t people wake up from a near death and tell
of the whore houses?

The bright light is the EMT shining a 16 Cell flashlight in them.

Title? And do you have experiences with this? Do you think it's possible. Death may not be the complete end when two people have loved each other devotedly in life.
So yes, I do believe this. Mostly the communication is a vivid dream helping me to solve a problem or someone touching me awake because it's important for me to wake up.

Have you ever been in contact with a dead loved one? if so what was it about? Can you share? Thanks. I know many vehemently don't believe in this, while many do.

I don't know about vehemently, but no, I don't think it's possible.

Mind, the passed can strongly influence us from the grave by the memories, influences, and experiences when they were above ground. There's no need to just forget those that have passed, but sadly, once they've gone they've gone. :(
 
As an Agnostic, neither do I believe nor disbelieve in the paranormal, or religion. I accept that I do not know one way or the other, but in the case of religion I am somewhat envious of those who do believe. As for the paranormal, I am without envy or belief, but I am open to the science of genuine proof, proof that I have never seen and doubt that I ever will.
