I think I am spending too much time alone...

ok- so I read some where or heard that when you see a butterfly it's really an angel or a lost loved one

I thought it was nice- so everytime I see a butterfly I think of my Mom

today I went for a run- and I saw at least 3- in all differents spots- so it could have been the same one

so I was really feeling my Mom's pressence

this is where is get weird and I think it's a good thing I am going back to work soon

I wanted Mexican- but my delivery place wasn't answering the phone- so I decided to go to Moe's in Oceanside

they were having a fundraiser tonight- for of all things- the Lukemia and Lymphoma society

and my Mom had Lymphoma

I feel happy- but like I am losing it at the same time

I do have a really nice feeling- it's the first time I have really felt something like this since she died

it's kind of cool- like she really is there watching over me

Re: I think I am spending too much time alone...

I think we need to have those feelings once in a while.

We lost my MIL about 2 years ago and she never met my daughter.

It's silly but when we went to Sesame Place this summer there were butterflies everywhere. I know it's not like they were all there for us -- but it still made me feel good to see them since it was a special day with the baby. I took some pics of them ... going to try and post one of them...because it's just a special thing to think of.

Don't worry -- it's not that you're spending too much time alone. Sometimes we just need a reminder of those who are watching over us. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon External Image

Re: I think I am spending too much time alone...

I totally understand as I have those feelings too about my father. When I see or experience something that would have brought him joy, I smiled and even well up a lil bit with tears.

I am starting to see a lot of him in my brother - we all are. In fact the other day, imentioned how my Dad used to be very heavy handed with his silverware and make screeching noises on his dinner plate. Of course about 5 minutes later, my brother accidentally did the same thing andI felt Dad with us at the table

It is so normal and natural to feel the presence of a loved one in the beauty of those you love and in the beauty of nature around you. It lets you know their spirit is there forever.

You are not losing. I think you are just being more aware of things around you because you not so busy. It is not a bad thing, take it one day at a time.

I believe in the same symbols & lately I have been going through some stuff & have been seeing butterflies everywhere. Just yesterday, I was at the brick place picking stones for our house & I was so fustrated. Across my face came this butterfly & it stayed there until I was ready to leave.

When I was growing up, my grandparents use to always be the ones that got me through things. So I know it is their presence!!!

Re: I think I am spending too much time alone...

I believe the same thing! When I was in Florida recently we took a short fishing trip down the Silver River. It was so beautiful and peaceful. This beautiful butterfly kept flying around us, over and over. Finally it just landed on my lap! And it wouldn't leave. It would get up and fly again and then come sit on me again. It was the most awesome feeling in the world.

I'm so glad you had this experience. Lots of Chat Icon
