Reading your sincere heart felt post gives assurances, that although his death is still a very relevant part of your life, little nuances come to bring you light. You’re an amazing lady. So glad my path crossed yours🌸💞🌸

My heart feels deeply your grief and loss. I wish you all love and strength in finding some kind of peace in your situation ❤️ Related to what you write about time, science shows, theoretically, that time is just an illusion, that the present, now, and the future all co-exist. Therefore, none ever disappear, but our loved ones who have passed away walk beside us in a parallel dimension, of sorts. Our indigenous people have some guidance in this as well, as they often do, where many of these traditions believe that our ancestors and relatives walk alongside us. I’m not religious in the traditional sense, but the fact that science today shows what the indigenous people have believed for thousands of years gives me some faith and trust in that we really never go away but are present in some form forever, spiritually or otherwise (consciousness).

I know they walk beside us and that is a comforting thought. I found peace in my grief. Thank you for reaching out and for your kind thoughtful comment.

Rea, your words went straight to my heart. I can only imagine the weight of your grief, and yet you write with such honesty and light. The way you see signs — the white light, the ray of sun, the butterflies — carries so much hope and tenderness. Thank you for sharing something so sacred; it reminds me that love truly goes beyond time.🤍✨

Love lasts beyond reality, Dora. Thank you for your beautiful comment. <3

Wow, Rea, you’ve given me so much to think about. I do believe our loved ones send us signs, and I’m so glad you found some peace in the signs Emile sent you.

It is such a strange thought to think that time as we know it, doesn’t truly exist.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

It was strange and comforting, Stephanie Marie. A message from the future, that comforted me when it arrived. Thank you for reaching out. <3

Made me sad to read this, of course. It also contains a comforting message though and I know this will be appreciated by many.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

Thank you, Phillip.

In the presence of great grief (among other experiences), the pointers often show us the way to things that are more real and true than what is most often apparent. There is where our finest comfort is found.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

It felt more real and true that anything else did. Thank you Stephen. <3

Yes, the way we experience the world, and our belief in the after-life and how visits from our child manifest, is something most parents will identify with.

What an unhelpful comment that person made 🫣 I believe our children are now ‘light’ in both senses of the word. And they shine important truths down for us, which we get to use in our own lives now. It is their ongoing gift to us ☀️❤️

Rea de Miranda's avatar

They convey the light to us. What a beautiful thought, Esther. Thank you. <3 <3

Beautiful read.

I lost a son as a result of a car accident. I had a premonition dream about him too.

love and hugs

Sending peaceful and positive thoughts, Anita.

Thank you. <3

Such beautiful writing. My heart was breaking for you as I was reading. Your son will always be with you, in your memories, your heart and everything that was special between the two of you.❤️

Rea de Miranda's avatar

Thank you for your encouraging words, Kathleen. <3

Rea,

This piece brought me to tears. I am so sorry about all this. I do agree that your son is with the Light. Sending virtual hugs.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

Thank you, Beth. Hugs right back. <3

Time has been so fluid these last 12 years for me. I love hearing how Emile has made his presence known in unusual ways. One year we had robins landing in our yucas, very unusual for SolCal. He is definitely in the light ✨✨✨✨✨and surrounded by it. Still hard when we rather surround them with hugs.

Rea de Miranda's avatar

Our precious children are always with us, Marjorie. Not the same as being present in physical for, but I will take what I can get. Thank you for your compassion, my friend. <3 <3

Oh Rea, my mama calls those "God dreams" and this is just what that was (whatever our definition of God is). Incredible, just incredible. May the white light hold you in its beautiful truth. <3

Rea de Miranda's avatar

I agree, Stephanie. It was a God dream, that prepared me and answered my questions. Thank you for your kind words. <3

Thank you for sharing this intimate part of your life. I am so sorry that you lost your son. I believe that the truth is that "all are loved." I find it unfathomable to think that God would abandon those souls who take their own lives. Sometimes, living is too much. Your son has told you that he is in the light,

Rea de Miranda's avatar

I agree, Stephanie. God will never abandon us, even in suicide. Thank you for reaching out. <3
