Meeting Mom's soul, after her death

MPapailiou

Hi all...

I've been thinking about posting this message since May 2006, after my Mom's passing away, but myself didn't trust my own experience. My mind was telling me that what I felt and saw was what I wanted to feel and see and not something real - so I was very reluctant in sharing this, especially with people who cope with cancer themselves, or they have relatives who do. Now, after having more experiences with my Mom's soul, I feel that I have to share this with you. I like to call myself a spiritual person and not a religious one. I will just share my experience with you and if it means something to you keep it in your hearts, otherwise just forget it.

The few nights before my Mom's passing away from liver-lung-bones cancer, I was staying with her night and day at the hospital. She was in a state of coma and lost communication with us. Nurses have told us that the ending was coming, but that should not stop us from talking to her. The night before her death, I hugged her dearly and talked to her - "that she should not be afraid of letting go life as we know it, that she will meet again with the spirit world and she will be free of worries". She and I always believed in life after death. I once asked her, many years ago, that if she would die first she should try to give me a sign of her presence as a soul.

It was noon when she had her last breath. My siblings and I were by her side. A nurse was also with us, with whom I had wonderfull spiritual conversations the previews nights, especially about a patient that she had, who had a NDE - Near Death Experience.

It was strange, after her death, my Mom had a huuuge smile on her face. It was like she was happy when she left her body. All nurses came to see this before they took her away. It was astonishing.

I stayed at the corner of that hospital room, knowing in my heart that she was somewhere around. I was so sure of it, that I actuall mentally demanded her to come to me. I screamed in my mind, "Where Are You? Mom, Where Are You????". And then, suddenly with the corner of my left eye I saw something like a transparent apparition coming to me and "hugging" my whole left side of my body. The feeling was so strong that I was left speechless. The "personality" of that entity was definitely my Mom's, only that I could feel her like she was a child again with lots of happines and play-like attitude. And then the feeling just went away. I told this to my brother and sister who weren't very sure that my experience was real.

The next days, Mom appeared in my sister's dreams giving her answers about things she was very anxious about, concerning her funeral. After her funeral, my boyfriend and I stayed last at the church and took some candles to light them up. He is an agnostic. He was telling me that he doesn't believe in life after death and in the existence of the soul. At that very moment, the fire on the candle he was holding in his hand lighted up on its own! I was shocked, but he was not just shocked, he was devastated, it took us hours to make him come back to normal. He was crying, he accused me of pulling this trick somehow and so on. I was just smiling in my heart, because I knew it was my Mom's playfull actions to show him the truth.

Several things like that happened these last few months that made me and my siblings search more on these, engage in meditation and renew our faith to the spirit world and love. Other times I would smell flowers in her old bedroom, or my sister's small kids they could come and tell us that they felt her and so on.

Please forgive me if I have upset anyone by sharing these experiences, it was not in my intentions.

Just fellt the urge to share this with you all.

Love,

Mandy

This is a beautiful experience...thank you for sharing..It especially comforts me in this difficult time. My dad is in stage IV and we are hoping to have him with us as much as possible, but with no suffering..we can't be selfish and keep him here when he can be free of pain. Take care.

Hello Mandy,
You are right, at your own free time, without peer pressure, to give your own account of your Mother. I can tell you were both close to each other.

Your Mother would have been extremely proud of her daughter. Like ALL mothers, she would not have wanted to burden you.

She would have been content that part of her essence would live on in her daughter.

Take Care,

Thank you for sharing your experience, its wonderful to hear. I lost my mum to pancreatic cancer last year, very suddenly. The week following her death, she appeared in all of my dreams - in every one she had knowledge of her death, and was checking to see if we were all okay. I never really thought about it too much, and just thought it was a dream. Reading your story has made me think, perhaps it was my Mum checking up on us? xx
