I lost Chestnut yesterday and have been in absolute anguish and grief since then. I am absolutely sick. I can't stop crying. I can't get motivated to do anything and I'm moving in a few days with a lot to do. I'm just moping. I was sitting on the couch today just mindlessly gazing out the window when a hummingbird flew up to the window and just looked in for several seconds. I kind of blew it off, but then it happened again and again. I still though, no way. Then I went to my office and was on the computer. I again started mindlessly gazing out the window (I am a bit of a day dreamer), when I saw a hummingbird fly by the window. This time the hummingbird stopped and sat on a branch and looked in for a few seconds before it flew away.

Could this have been a sign or am I just nuts? I've been in this house for over three years and have never had that many hummingbird encounters, especially in one afternoon.

Does this sound crazy?

No it is not crazy. Our companions come back to us in many forms. Or the bird may have been sent from your loved one. You may get other signs from them letting us know that they are ok.

Dear Phinny 1:

Thanks for your response. It is comforting. It's day 3 since the loss and I'm still hurting. The tears have not subsided.

Thanks again, Catherine (Chestnut's mommy)

Yes, he's comforting his Mommy. And he really is okay, in the realm where there's no distress of any kind.

You'll be together again!

I'm so sorry about Chestnut's physical absense. I know it is SO hard, there is nothing like it.

Let us know how you're doing.

Love and understanding,

Kathy

Kathy,

Thanks for the support. I'm moving this week with lots of activity; however, whenever a quiet moment arrives I'm back to tears. It is a horrible kind of pain. I am so glad I found this website. It has helped so much and I thank you for your warm response.

I'll keep posting; it eases the pain.

Thanks again.

Chestnut's mommy (Catherine)

Our beloved pets try to give us comfort in many ways once they have left. Visits in dreams are not uncommon, or signs like you saw are also not uncommon. My Daisy visited in a dream shortly after she died. I know that this was a visit, and not just a dream, because my husband and I had the same dream at virtually the same time of night. I also saw her shadow go by on the wall on another occasion. We are both sane people with respectable jobs, etc.
