This may seem odd to all those who believe when you're dead, you're in the ground so I apologize if this belongs some where else.
I had a difficult time today, seeing those images of murdered women, and was trying so hard to get away from the negative thoughts and back on positive ones of her life.
I was thinking on the negative, started to feel upset when suddenly I smelled her very strongly. She had a really unique perfume she wore, and I felt her their with me. I suddenly was just smiling and felt happy again. It was the first time I felt her presence or her aura since the night after we found her and I asked her to show me she was happier now. It's like she was telling me "It's okay, I know it hurts, but I'm better off now". Thanks to any one who who read this and don't think I'm totally weird.

I'd like to end with a picture of the two of us. One of my favorites.
I felt her today

I'm sorry for your loss I may have trouble with empathy, but I lost some one too so I know how it feels because it happened to me. I do believe it's possible to feel their presence. I have no official stand on it and as a agnostic keep a open mind always. I would like to believe there is some else beyond death.

I don't ever think anything is out of the question when it comes to the passing of someone we loved so deeply. When my brother died I would sit in my bed and sob and ask if he was healthy where ever he was (he was terminally ill) and I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked to see if someone walked in, I was alone. I like to think that was his way of saying "Yes, I'm free now".

I'm sorry for your loss & I do understand that feeling. I lost my 23 month old niece 4 yrs ago. I still think of her so very often. She was 8 months older than my own DD & sometimes when I look into my own DD eyes I can see my niece. I know there are things I just can't explain & sometimes to me it doesn't matter if I can explain them, but I can interpret them as I wish. I feel that connection. It sounds like you do too.
Peace,
P

As long as we remember someone, they exist in some way...
I am so sorry for your loss, your pain.

Thank you all I just like to think that even if she's gone, she's somehow still able to give me her love and show me I'll be alright.

Im sorry Atomic Though I dont know what the feeling is/how it happens I have felt it too at odd times, like someone is there. My father has definitely been around many times. Past kitties too. Enjoy the moment, what if it really is true? Smile, talk and say thanks. Either way, you will feel better.
