Visits From Your Babies After Passing On Options

Hi everyone. I just wanted to know...has anyone been visited by their furbabies after they've passed on??? I have and it is a truly remarkable experience-it really helps with the grief.

I think in our waking moments it is much harder for us to interpret whether or not our babies spirits are present. I know that Romeo visited me once while I was sleeping. It would be easy to pass this off as just a dream but those of us who have had these "dreams" know that they have a different feel to them. I dreamt of Romeo once before he really visited me, and it had that surreal quality to it, you know the way dreams are sometimes weird? In the dream I knew that Romeo had died and that it couldn't really be Romeo, and it was later confirmed in the dream. The dream also had an emotional, frantic feel to it. The real visit from Romeo was very different. It was not dream-like at all. He was laying in bed with me the way he always did and it just felt real, no sense of loss or grief, just very comforting. It was as if he had never left me. When I awoke I was not sad or emotional but rather I was thankful. He has not visited me again since and unfortunately I don't think he will again. I never got to say goodbye to him while he was alive so I think that is why he came to visit, to lessen the pain and guilt I felt for not being there when he died. I wish he would come and visit again but I think that is selfishness on my part. I have a friend who has lost a number of animals over the years and none of them have ever visited her, at least not in the way that Romeo visited me. She loved these animals with all her heart and I know a visit would help her, but for whatever reason they don't visit her in that way. She does believe their spirits have been present at different times and for that I hope she is thankful, even if it is not as settling as the way some of our babies have visited us.
