Signs and Symbols a Deceased Loved One

is Trying to Contact You

Symbolic after death communication is one of the most common ways for your loved one in the spirit world to send you signs, and to let you know that they are with you, and that they are okay.   Signs & symbols could be anything in the physical environment that the survivor interprets as a sign from their loved one. The sign could be unique and personal to you, and often relays something that was meaningful to the person that has passed.  If your loved one had a particular interest, this is the most valuable thing to look for in terms of signs and symbols from them in the spirit world.  Oftentimes, these symbols can be butterflies, rainbows, hot air balloons; it could be a particular breed of dog, or a specific vehicle, or color of vehicle.   It could also be a number sequence with the same birth date, death date, or other significant date in the form of number symbology. If their birthday was October 24th it may be that you see 1024 repeatedly.  

Coins are a very common form of symbolic after death communication, especially when the coin is significant.  A coin minted in Canada may be quite significant if your deceased loved one was from Canada.  Coins may have the date of the year that your loved one was born.  There could be other symbolic meanings if you look at the coin and examine it.  If you receive a quarter from Nebraska and your loved one that just passed was from Nebraska, that could be an afterlife sign.

Sometimes you'll hear repetitive songs on the radio.  You will hear your loved one's name being called, you may hear people on TV with the same name, or you might be in a shopping mall and hear someone call to their child with the same name.  Basically, anything that you are interpreting as a symbol from your loved one in spirit, is a real symbolic after death communication.

Even though the loss of your loved one creates grief, sadness and sorrow; receiving symbols from the spirit world can be very beneficial.  It can help you know that your loved one is okay... which is undeniably the most important thing that you want to know.  It can help you connect with them in the afterlife, know that they still exist and are around you. You may develop your skills to communicate with your loved one in spirit, and learn to make contact with them.

Why does your loved one send you signs and symbols rather than appear as an apparition?  This is based on either your ability to tap in and see the frequency that spirits exist in, or they don't want to frighten you. Sometimes, seeing an apparition of a loved one can startle you, or in some cases terrify you.  Many people are not prepared to see their loved one in the spirit world, even though they can present themselves in a physical form so that you can recognize them.  Most people are not open and receptive enough to see the spirit world this way, so the signs and symbols provide a safer alternative.  It's easier for your loved one to put things onto your path that trigger your memories and help you remember them in a way that's actually more peaceful for you.   It's nice to know that they're still connected to you.  They know what's going on in your life even after they have left the physical realm.  They see what you are going through and want to let you know that you are supported from the spirit world.  These are very important reasons why your loved one in spirit wants to reach out and help you move on from your grief.  

Your loved one does not need you to finish anything for them that they didn't complete in life.  They just want to say, "Hey I'm here. I'm still with you, and I love you."  They are very open to you connecting with them and staying in contact. Even though your loved one is in spirit, they're able to help you out and show up for you, to be that kind of love and support that you sometimes need.  They can also help in physical ways if you need help or assistance from them. There's nothing wrong with asking them to help you out with a particular situation.  It can be something small like guiding you to the best route without traffic, or something large like helping you find a mate to love.   Your loved one in the spirit world has different abilities than they did when they were in a physical body.  

When your loved one is sending you a lot of signs and symbols, it is usually because they see that you're going through something difficult, and need some extra help. You may also experience periods of time where you're not receiving as many signs and symbols from your loved one, and that's okay.  It does not mean that they went away or that they will not come back.  It just simply means that they've stepped back to let you to progress on your own, to use your resources, and allow you to connect with other living people for help. Maybe they've stepped back to provide the space for you to begin a new relationship or fall in love.  

Your loved one in the spirit world never want to stand in your way.  They never want to hold you back.  Their spirit is free from the burdens that they experienced in life, and they want you to also be free, to heal, and to find your new life path and life purpose.

If you suddenly start to see dragonflies but they're not significant for you or your loved one that passed, it most likely is just a dragonfly and not a symbolic after death communication.  However, if dragonfly was significant to your loved one who passed, and you start to see dragonflies...that is definitely an after death communication symbol. Sending you a dragonfly is a really easy way for your loved one in spirit to communicate with you and let you know they are with you; they hear you, they see you, they're supporting you, and that they know you're thinking of them.  Sending you a dragonfly is simply a way for them to just reach out and say, "I love you, I'm still here." 

I encourage my clients to keep a running list of the signs & symbols they experience after they've lost a loved one.  (Get my Signs & Symbols Journal below to keep track of your afterlife visits). Every time you experience a synchronistic event, write it down. Each time pennies from heaven drop into your lap, or appear during your morning walk, write it down. Pay attention to your surroundings and notice the birds that visit you, or the strange way that animals appear in your life. Keeping a little journal of these symbolic events can be reassuring and equally uplifting (when you need an emotional boost).  Once you start writing them down, you will be surprised at how many signs and symbols you actually receive.
