Yes but only soon after they passed and after a memorial service.

They visited me via special animals that have meaning in our family and that I rarely see, blooming of special flowers, rainbows and dreams. They may all be just products of my rather active imagination but it felt comforting.

My dad was at all of my kids' soccer games (shared passion; former coach) and he used to always give them a dollar when they scored a goal. I loved sharing the sidelines with him because he was hilarious.

The first game my youngest played in after my dad died, I was so sad. I missed waiting for him to walk up with his soccer chair. It was hard to see the other grandparents on the sidelines.

Well- my son scored a pretty amazing goal. We were in a different town and pulled into a Starbucks. When my son opened the door to step out, there was a $1 dollar bill on the ground by his feet .

There were a lot of very strong signs the months after he passed. I remember driving down 66 and our car was literally swarmed by dragon flies. There were certain songs we loved that would come on when I was in a low point. There were so many different things that could not be 'mere coincidences'.

My dad also was one that told us he would send us signs.

I don't get the posters bashing others. If this gives someone comfort, let them have it. Calling them delusional and names is just plain ugly.

My dad visits my mom in the form of a hummingbird frequently.

I begged my late aunt for help during a particularly terrible time in my life. She was always the aunt who got me exactly what I needed or wanted without me having to ask- my part of the family didn’t have quite enough and she filled in the gaps. She sent me a dog the next day. I was in my yard and had my back to the street and stray dog was standing in front of me when I turned around. He changed literally everything about my life. He is also bonkers, but my aunt always had a sense of humor about quirky dogs. It sounds insane but I know he was from her.

My dad visits me more as a presence that I can sense, which is interesting because he wasn’t very present when he was alive.

I love this about your aunt and dog.

My grandmother visits me occasionally in dreams. She was very old when she passed but I still feel she is around me.

My daughter will send other children over to speak to me at the oddest times.

Also, I suspect that synchronicity/constantly seeing repeat numbers (e.g., 333, 444, etc.) could be related to deceased relative communication, or it could just be the Universe. Who knows. Strange bump-in-the-night world we live in.

Same. Reminds me I am not alone.

Isn't funny that nobody ever says "right after my Great Aunt Betty died, we got field mice in the basement. Now, whenever I see a mouse, I think of her."

"Right after grandpa died, a family of bats nested in the attic. I always get a warm feeling now when I hear them dart across the night sky"

I have a friend who lost her father. In his lifetime he often collected small frog memorabilia. He was a playwright and wrote one play that had a frog as a central character. Lots of references to frogs in his lifetime. After his passing, my friend periodically sees frogs, cartoons, artwork, etc. She always sees one on the anniversary of his passing and she often sees one at low points in her life when she needs comfort from her "guardian angel". It is rather uncanny how the frogs show up especially when she needs that sign.

So, not quite so cute as butterflies or ladybugs, but significant considering his life.

Through dreams? or in 'person'?

No. They don’t.

Dreams, feelings and insights.
My Mom used to ask my deceased brother to help her find lost things. Now, I ask them both for help — and often find what I’ve lost right away, even though I looked quite a bit before I asked for help. It feels reassuring.

It is him, no doubt.

My dad who passed five years ago also occasionally visits me in my dreams. He is in the prime of his life, My mom passed last year and now visits me in my dreams to hang out. It is nice to be around them again.

you are fortunate. Do you do anything to sort summon them? or they just visit?

I repeatedly asked my father to visit me. I had not been present at his death because I had to get back to my family. My mother has come to see me after we had her celebration of life. Both looking healthy and young. I awaken with tears in my eyes because I am so glad to see them.

Yes. I have this ability to connect with others who have passed on, but only if those choose to still linger.

I have felt in in particular with a former boyfriend and relatives. They visit me in dreams, and also I can sense when they are around and want to communicate. I can sense the words they are telling me like thoughts in my head. I have had objects move in my place in front of my eyes that have no real explanation besides the supernatural.

I can also sense spirits in certain places in where they linger such as cemeteries. I have been in places where murders have happened and felt very uneasy and looked it up later online and realized it was a scene of unrest.

I am the pp who has frequent visits from deceased relatives, and I agree that some people are simply done with this earth when they pass. My sister, who I was not close with, passed away, and I've only had one dream about her right after her passing. I'd be surprised if I have more. I would describe our relationship as two ships passing in the night and little connection aside from our DNA.
