Has anyone had this happen? I feel even strange admitting it, but after my brother left I swear I head his voice. I really think he talked to me. I saw a figure of him in these trees at the cemetery and he said to me that he loves me and I am going to be okay. I must be wanting to hear and feel this right? It was so real. I could even tell you what I saw him wearing and exactly where I stood and he was standing. I know I sound crazy, but has anyone else had those unbelievable sightings or heard those unimaginably sounds?

Yes, I have felt my brothers presence and even heard and smelled his closeness to me. No you are not crazy. I believe our loved ones come and go to make sure we are okay. Lynn
Lynn-
I loved your all your post. You make me feel normal and not so crazy. The love you hold for Denny is similar to my love for Bry!! Thank you for sharing. Your thoughts help so many people.
Yes, i did have an experience like that it was my brother in law. I was young and laying in bed trying to fall asleep and I had seen him. He was saying good-bye and it just seemed like I was dreaming or something. It was so surreal I didn’t even know he had passed on yet. It was the night he died and I still think it was some sort of dream that somehow because in a sense we are all connected in someway that as he passed I pictured him. I don’t know exactly how to explain it. It was comforting though when I learned of his passing. I don’t think our loved ones come and go to “check up on us” that would be torture to some who have passed I would think. To see their loved ones crying for them and not being able to reach out. but if I did see what I saw and it was not a dream then as he went from this life to the next I was blessed to get a good-bye.
Nina-
That is a surreal experience and I like the bit about tourture seeing our loved ones again. Thanks for sharing and letting us know that it is not only the siblings directly, but also the in-laws that are deeply affected by the loss too.
I have not had this experience. In the days that followed my sisters sudden death,I have waited for something like this to happen. It however, has not happened to me. I have a close friend that had a dream. My sisters friends have spoken about having similar dreams of seeing her. I told myself, that now I will find out about these types of myths. I still wait….. hoping that she will come to me in a dream. If it is only for the moment I have with her, to see her or to hear her voice. I don’t doubt that it will happen, my guess is that this thing that I want soo badly, will come on it’s own terms.She will never be here on this earth with me in the flesh. She will however be in my thoughts and in my memories every day, untill we meet again.
I understand exactly what you are saying when you say you feel crazy to admit it… but I see/feel my brother with me daily. The early morning my brother passed I woke up overly emotional and got sick, and only to find out 5 hours later the time I woke up was the time he passed. It has been two months to the day today and I have seen my brother in my dreams each evening, along with other passed relatives with him. Additionally, 1 week after he passed my phone began deleting each night at the same time. For the first month I thought I was crazy or that Verizon owed me a new phone, but now it only happens on the nights I am very emotional and need to know he is ok. I know I am fortunate for this, but I do believe that the deceased show themselves at different points in loved ones lives, and if your brother or sister hasn’t yet, don’t lose hope because I know they will come to you.
Thank you for sharing something that brings hope to all of us. The feeling of having our siblings close to us again. Thank you.
Stevie,
I think part of the struggle is hoping for something so unclear and misunderstood. Thanks for the comments, they help many more brothers and sisters than you realize.
I would give anything if my brother could come to me, even in a dream and tell me that he’s ok, that everything is ok. I miss him so so much, but I never dream about him. It makes me sad.
I have been hoping that my brother will come to me in a dream to let me know he is okay but that has not happened yet. My brother only passed a short time ago. (friday will be 4 weeks).
I do think that he has sent me signs though. While preparing a poem for his funeral, I reached a point in my poem where I expressed that I know he is looking down on me and he is now my guardian angel. At that point i was just about to erase those lines because I thought it was maybe a little silly, then my two children were playing down the hall and my five year old told my two year old at that very moment that “he would play the angel and he would look down from heaven.” I don’t know if I’m crazy or if my brother sent that message through my son. Needless to say I left those lines in my poem.
A few days ago I was sitting in my basement doing some laundry. I was listening to a cd and the next song was coming on when it stopped. I was already upset that day and yelled jokingly at the cd player from across the room “Justin if your here can u fix this??” No joke right after I said that the song came on super loud. Then I thanked him. I don’t know if it really happened and he was really there but it makes me feel better at least thinking its true. Also my 6yr old daughter told me my brother sits in the backseat with her sometimes. Ive heard that children are more perceptive to spirits-I wonder if theres any truth to back it…?
I believe in spirits of our loved ones talking to us. There is an awesome book called “The Message” that was given to me about a month before my brother suddenly died. I know I was prepared for his death. Maybe I was prepared because I actually feel more pain from my mother’s abusive responses and reaction to my brother’s death. My family is very dysfunctional. I have felt my brother everywhere especially about 11 days after. Now I don’t fell him as close so often. My dogs even saw him and felt him. He touched me also one night when I was sobbing listening to some music. I was in bed and I felt him put his hand on my ankle. He threw a butterfly and some flowers at my husband at the funeral. I also felt a warmth come into my body at his service when I was really struggling. He whispered to me that he knew what I had been going through and he would be there for me. I feel like my brother is my heavenly bodyguard now. I feel he often speaks to me through music. My brother loved music. I also believe that God has angels and miracles lined up to help me go through this time. I can relate to the feeling that Justin’s sister writes about. I also feel like my brother can read my mind. Many times I have thought something then Tim does something to answer the question and confirm to me he hears my thoughts. I knew my black lab saw Tim one morning, but the next day I wondered if my chihuaha could see him too. As I was thinking this I came out of the bathroom and was looking at pebbles and suddenly she jumped as she was dreamily staring at me. I know my brother poked her! I laughed so hard. I just love my brother so much! I’m not sure how all this works, but I do know the more I wonder and pray to know and to feel Tim I do. When it happens it is one of the best feelings ever. I feel close to God and my brother when it does happen. I feel it is important for people to know that I am LDS also. I do not do any drugs, not even caffeine. Perhaps this helps? I also believe that when we follow God’s commandments we are closer to the spirit. I can’t wait to see my brother again! HE is awesome! My brother was a survivor of a kidnapping, family dysfuntion, and he became a sheriff. I love him, he is one of my heroes.
