| After Death Communications |
From the owner of this Web Site (and what prompted this site):
Radical spiritual changes are often born from tragedies. Mine started with a phone call very early in the morning of Oct 11th, 1998.
My wife had been in a single vehicle car accident returning home from a party and I needed to rush to the hospital.
I was an emotional wreck during the endless wait for the doctor to come tell me what was happening.
When he finally came in, he infuriated me with questions about where my wife had been, where she was going and who she was with
before he finally told me that she had not survived. It hits you much harder than you would expect.
I got to spend the rest of the night pacing the floor waiting for my two young sons to awake so I could tell them their mother was dead.
That was the longest night of my life. I've learned since then that tragedies like this are handled much easier by people with faith.
At the cemetery a widow told me that if I talked with my wife, I would be able to hear her. I thought she had lost a lot more than her husband
but over the next several months, I could feel her. The following summer I was having a party for my 40th birthday.
I was in my backyard preparing for the party by cleaning the pool. A monarch butterfly flew into the pool area.
I casually stated, "Gee Cindy, how nice of you to join me for my birthday". The butterfly flew over by me and stated flying tight circles around my body.
Then it landed on me. I had never had any butterfly land on me before then. I believe that was Cindy.
The next summer, while at work, I stepped outside for a cigarette. I had gone back to smoking after Cindy died.
Another monarch butterfly flew up and landed on me. A smoker standing nearby said that this must be my lucky day.
I no longer believe in luck or coincidences. On the second anniversary of my wife's death, I took my sons and some flowers to the cemetery.
October 11th, 2000. This time of year only it was a colder year. We had already had multiple frosts. Another monarch butterfly flew up to us.
It landed on a nearly flower and flew off. Monarchs migrate to central and south America for the winter. Again, I believe these were Cindy.
For me the unshakable belief in an afterlife brought me to belief in God.
As an interesting follow up, a few years later I was dating the woman that is now my wife. We just got married in June.
She brought me a small local publication about health care. I believe it was published by Aurora hospital.
In it there was an article about a doctor from their hospital. He had been in the Dakotas vacationing with his wife and two children.
They were in a terrible car accident and the doctor and his wife were both killed. The two children survived.
The article went on to explain that during the funeral the children released 50 monarch butterflies as part of the ceremony.
Two of the butterflies returned and landed on the children. I have learned since then that butterflies are the most common form of after death communication.
Rainbows are second.
