my mother passed away in Nov.of 2006. Am I crazy to think that shes with me and her spirit is in my dog?

That you can still ask that question indicates that you're not going crazy. Since your mother was the one to give you the dog, you tend to associate the two. Dogs are very good at "reading" human emotions, particularly grief. Your dog is simply trying to console you. She is not your mother, although you may be indulging in some wishful thinking to help you through this grieving process. It will pass.\n\nGood luck to you, and pet your dog for me. :)

It is a sad thing to loose a parent.  It leave a mark on you and a pain that you really never get over.  I happen to be a funeral director and when I lost my parents, I went through the exact same thing.  I know it is of no comfort to you, but as time goes by, you will find that other things in your life keep you occupied.  You will never forget her, but in time God works a miracle in which the sharp pain associated with your loss gets a little less and you can reflect upon the joyous and happy times with a feeling of love and appreciation.  I know you probably find this hard to believe, and so did I, but it does happen.  My father died in 1987 and my mother in 1999, and at times is seems like it was only yesterday.  I hope you are able to find peace and understanding very soon.

If there is a medium for the soul and mind to visit the spirit of the ghost then it can be viewed. I have seen many ghosts in over the years. The ghost that has been with me the longest is one I met when I was 14 years old. It is a male identity and has prolong this passage of time at the current physical level many times with good intentions. I have come to understand his intuitive nature and begin over the years. I know that he has been reincarnated several times and that he has returned from ashes the ancient burial ground in Mexico. He has lead me to several people and events  over my life time. I will also be thankful to have been part of his after life connection. and sorry for  one failure..Listen carefully to the ghost around you. Steka te ta teaka ,Tree

E-mail, phone call, paper mail; anything. I'd love to find out what my mother was trying to say with her last murmurs. We could learn what the afterlife really is. Or were you thinking of time-travel, sending the e-mail back to when they were still alive?

I am so sorry to hear about your mom. my mom pass away not long ago so  I know your pain, I can tell you that you never stop missing her and it's hard around the holidays. I will pray for you that God comforts you doing your time of sorrow. he already has your mom and although you miss her and still need her she is pain free and in a better place.

I just lost mine 2 days ago and I hadn't seen her in 11 yrs. I had left my home country and have not gone back since then. Also I am not able to leave right now to attend the funeral, it is tearing me up so much.  I feel your pain and understand where you are in this.  As hard as it may seem we simply have to think of the good times in memory and how much joy she brought into our lives.  Life is never the same when your mother passes away, however you must go on.  Maybe you can do something together with family that will keep her memory alive.

yes it has; I had a beautiful collie, shepherd, husky mix, who I loved dearly. I miss her so much. It's been awhile since she died, and I have another dog. I still sometimes feel the presence of Raven, so I believe totally that she is with God, waiting to see me someday, where we'll be re-united. God wouldn't let us love our precious pets, and not ever see them again! I think Raven visits me, too....

It doesnpt sound crazy. My dad died 4 years ago and I want to be visited by him. Sometimes you will see them in a dream, and it will seem sooo real. Sometimes things happen and you know it could only be caused by that person. Just wait.

I don't think it is strange to love animals or respect older people. It's good raising. However, you should know that there is an afterlife, but you only get one life. All this bunk about coming back  and remembering a previous life is rampantly spreading like a disease. Go on a trip anywhere tropical to refresh and recharge your mind and body. Are you the one what? You are the one for someone in this world.You will know him when you find him. And you should never let anyone hit you (he-haw)! Enjoy your life and have fun 'cause God only gives you one!

My father died when I was very young, so I wouldn't know, but I have been tolled he did.  My MOM, when I was young she loved me, in her own way, she supported us and provided what we needed, as she saw fit.  But her support to us was not equally distributed, she favored some of us over another, also, she would think she is bringing us together, but in reality she split us apart.  It is a wonder that my siblings and I didn't kill each others long time ago.\nShe was a beautiful woman, who in her way thought was doing the right things to us, but many times turns out to be the contrary.  In her eyes the world revolve around her, not the sun.  This might sound harsh, but you got to know the woman to understand what went around.  She may have loved us, in her way, conditional Love.  One of her fave statement, "may you have a kid just like you!"  Thank God, I did.\n\nWhat do you think of a mother who leaves you in a hospital after an operation, never calls you to check on you or to see if you are still alive?!!!  my husband tried several times to speak to her about what happened to me, and she didn't even return his call!!  a Loving mother, I don't think so. that is my mother.

Absolutely not.  It is selfish of her to even ask.  Especially with your mother recently widowed.  Making sure you mother is OK through the holidays should be priority; and she should understand that.  I know that the holidays can be the most trying for someone right after they have lost a loved one.  Hold your ground.  Stay where you belong.  I am sure she will get over it.  Good luck and happy holidays!!

it was the time that my grandmother who i love so mush had just died from one month only...i had dream..not usual dream ..it looked like real life...i sow my died grandmother and she told me things about her brother ..his name,and something like he was not OK or she want us to ask about him ...\nwhen i waked up..i went to my mother and asked her if my grandmother has a brother and his name Iabrahim like she told me in the dream...i never know that my grandmother has a brothers,,,my mother told me yes she had...i told her about my dream..after 2 days from my dream the brother (Iabrahim)of my grandmother died...there is no scincetific explanation for that ...i think God sometimes want to show us signs that we are not just physical creatures...but we have souls too who are gifts from God...

I'm sorry for your loss, many Holidays must be very difficult for you. If you don't feel this is too strange , when you go to visit her on Mothers Day bring a blanket with you and just sit there for a while. My Dad died when I was 13 months old, so when I need to feel closer to him, I take a warm summer day {Hopefully Mothers Day will be warm} a blanket, maybe a book or photo album and visit. Its amazing how peaceful it might make you feel. I'm sure she loved you very much and I'm very sorry your still so sad. I hope the rest of your family is a support to you. Take care and best of everything to you.

Personally, I just lost my dad last month.  I'm still dealing.  It takes a while but the one thing you have to keep in mind is that she was here for a reason.  Whether or not there is an afterlife is irrelevent.  Each person that crosses your path, each person you interact with is there for a reason.  Whether its to teach you something or point you in the direction youre meant to go, there is a purpose.  You may miss her, but if you spend the rest of your life grieving you are not living.  You are lost in the past and moving forward because you have no alternative.  I can assure you, that is not what she would want.  I look at it this way, when you truly care for someone, you give them a piece of yourself.  You have given them your love, your support, your caring, whatever...its a part of you.  No matter where you go, they will always have that.  It is not something tangible that can be taken away or lost.  Your sister will be with you forever.  Nothing can change that..not even death.  'Sides, in my opinion death is just a speed bump in this thing called life, not an end.

I think you might be onto something, Dog does resemble Willie, and I always thought the late Mother Teresa could have passed for both of them's mother.

Yes, you should be worried.  I would talk to your mother, see if she had any flings with a canine, or maybe a bigfoot.  There is a good chance that your sister isn't 100% human.  You should immediately shove her into a cage before her animal instincts kick in and she eats your throat.
