My Dad passed away last year and we were very close. I was his caregiver when he was diagnosed with cancer. I miss him very much.
I see him vividly in dreams and have had to make major decisions since his passing and have been in awe that I made wise decisions and handled things with maturity and integrity and strength. I felt him around me as if he was guiding me through those moments of pain and confusion.
Yesterday I was working on fixing a household item and had just torn it apart to clean it up inside, only to have major difficulty getting it back together. I was afraid I broke it and was upset and just overwhelmed trying to restore it back to where it was before. I looked at the picture of my Mom and Dad on a table near by and just asked, "Dad what am I doing wrong? I don't know what to do?" "I'm not stupid, but it won't work." I was utterly frustrated.
In about 3 minutes time, a "lightbulb" went off in my head and I tried a different way to solve the problem and it worked. "Something" told me to try it the other way... I had been at it for over an hour to no avail before.
It made me smile and laugh and I felt my Dad there, giving me the help I needed, but more importantly, the confidence that I could do it. I do believe that our loved ones watch over us. I've felt it and have been brave in my life recently because I felt that guidance and strength that I didn't know I had.
I told this story to a friend, and she now is avoiding me. Apparently, she has never had the blessing of knowing you're not alone. Apparently, a bit of spiritual awakening frightened her.
Just wondering if others have had these type of stories. I just know it made me smile and cry a bit to know that in some small way, they never truly leave us.
Thanks for letting me share this personal story. I know I'll get some who will make fun, but who cares... I felt my Dad helping me and no one can prove I'm wrong.

Have You Ever Felt Your Departed Loved Ones Around You?
Yes, and moreso the 2 times I saw the "bright light". One with my first heart attack and the other time when I suffered a hematoma in the major artery in the groin 2 days after I had a Heart Cath procedure.

Only in my dreams and I do have plenty of them.

Not really....I've been widowed twice. Might be awkward.
Once I was sure I heard my mom's voice call my name. Sometimes a scent triggers vivid memories or the light and air on a particular day.

My parents have been gone for 23 years. I can't say I feel their presence but I do often recall my Mom's words. My mother was a person who loved sayings - and used them often to help us learn about life. Those saying pop into my head every day.

My church teaches that this life on earth is just one phase of the lives your spirit will go through and when you leave earth behind you leave the memories of it here. Just as you do not have any memory of the lives you had before this one - and no connections to it - you will totally leave this life and all memories of it and go to the next one. Thus - i do not believe that there is anyone waiting for me in Heaven or that there are any loved ones watching over me.

I was in a horrible 10 car accident about 17 yrs. ago, my father had been gone about 5 yrs., My small truck was hit twice by a full size truck and then again by a huge van. I had a dislocated shoulder and driving with my left arm and holding my then 2 yr. old son with my right (like when we brake suddenly). Anyway I was going straight to the palm tree and I thought people die when they hit the palm tree, with my dislocated shoulder I steered out of the way but felt someone holding me. When the ambulance came, since my son was ok, they wouldn't take him with me so I wouldn't go until my sister who happened to work in the same town came for him. When I got to the hospital, they didn't know how I had a large mark going across my arms across my chest. I knew it was my Dad holding me as I could smell him when I was going towards the palm tree.
