7 Signs of Deceased Loved Ones
Just talking is one of the simplest ways to get your departed loved one to speak with you. Yes, you should just begin speaking. Don’t just talk to nothing, though. Direct your conversation at the individual you’re attempting to reach by seeing that person in your thoughts.
When you think of your deceased loved ones, you might imagine what they would like to do in the next life. But these signs don’t have to be literal. You might also see a rock, a shirt, or a coin. These objects are also signs from the other side. You can read more about them in the article below. Here are some more ideas. So read on and be inspired to send your loved one a message!
Dragonflies
If you have lost a loved one, you may have noticed a presence of dragonflies around the place of their passing. These insects may be present at the grave site or in a particular place where the deceased person spent time. Seeing the presence of dragonflies in these places gives a comforting feeling. Dragonflies are symbols of transformation and change and a new beginning. Dragonflies are born in water and have transparent wings.
Although many people associate dragonflies with death, they are also considered a positive messenger from the deceased. Many cultures believe that they represent hope, endurance, and resurrection. Similarly, dragonflies symbolize light and adaptability. If you see a dragonfly in your area, your deceased loved one has passed on and is free of pain. You may also notice an increase in dragonflies in your neighborhood. These signs may be a sign of spiritual awakening.
In addition to being a good omen, dragonflies can signify the deceased’s spirit. Native Americans believe that dragonflies carry messages from their deceased loved ones. So if you happen to spot a dragonfly near your home after the death of a loved one, it is believed that their soul is still alive in another dimension. As a result, you can expect a visit from their spirit.
Feathers
Some believe the dead can communicate with the living by sending gifts. They may also leave coins or cardinals behind. In any case, these items may remind you of your loved one and bring you comfort. If you’ve lost a loved one, a small white feather from them may be a good reminder. Whether you believe in the afterlife or not, you can still feel close to them and honor their memory by keeping a feather from their ashes.
The presence of a feather can also mean the spirit of your departed loved one is communicating with you. While some people attribute this phenomenon to coincidence, others have attributed it to an actual connection between the departed and angels. White feathers can send a message of love, comfort, hope, and peace and can even be associated with angels. If you find a white feather while mourning, try not to cry. Instead, try to be positive. Afterward, the feather may give you peace.
Whether you are convinced that a loved one is still in heaven or simply want to communicate with them, you can find signs of your relationship with the deceased. For example, in many cultures, feathers have significant ceremonial significance. They are associated with spirits and are used for healing. Across cultures, people often report seeing or feeling feathers and other items left behind by their departed loved ones. Many people also report finding stones and pebbles in unusual locations.
Stones
Putting a stone on a loved one’s grave has religious, personal, and spiritual significance. For example, some believe a stone will anchor a deceased loved one’s soul to this world. While there is no definite scientific evidence to support this claim, it is thought that a loved one’s ashes may have a special meaning to the deceased person. Another popular belief is that a stone placed on a grave will ward off golems or demons. A stone, however, is not a requirement for burial. Instead, it symbolizes the person’s memory and a ritual for those who have lost loved ones.
The ancient practice of leaving a stone at a loved one’s grave is rooted in a Jewish custom. Thousands of years ago, stones were used for counting. Shepherds would use them to keep track of flocks. Keeping stones in a pouch or strung on a string allowed them to keep track of visitors. This practice may have evolved from this simple system of counting visitors. But there is no reason to dismiss the tradition.
Pebbles
A coin or stone found in an odd location can be a sign from the other side. For example, you may be surprised that a loved one’s shirt or sunglasses have turned up in your kitchen months after death. Pebbles and stones are frequently reported as signs from the deceased. However, they may not be the only ones showing up in odd places. You may even find a shirt or pair of glasses worn by the deceased.
While this custom’s exact origin is unclear, many traditions relate it to Biblical events. Some people believe that the practice correlates to Joshua’s command to build a memorial in the Jordan where the children of Israel would rest for all eternity. The stones may have originated with this story. Whatever the origin, the practice is considered a sign of purity and a family that cares deeply for the deceased.
The Marshall Islands, located some 1200 km north of the equator, is a fascinating place to visit. Majuro’s capital has a mountain that rises three meters above sea level. This mountain is covered with thousands of white stones, representing purity. A group of mourners will scatter hundreds of these pebbles around a freshly-made concrete grave. This ritual is considered sacred and has even become a worldwide phenomenon.
Scent
Many people claim to experience a distinct odor of their deceased loved ones, whether it is cologne or perfume. Others claim to smell an unfamiliar scent. Some people even report having smelled their deceased loved ones’ perfume in their dreams. In an article by Rick Hinton, he said that some people are conscious of the scent of their dead loved ones in their dreams. Interestingly, a study conducted among elderly widowers in Wales reported that 15% of the men and women surveyed had a sense of their deceased loved ones’ presence.
It has been proven that the scent of your deceased loved ones is a form of communication between the living and the dead. The scent is closely linked to memory. The smell of a deceased loved one may appear suddenly in your dream, which indicates that the connection is still strong. Similarly, you might be able to experience the presence of your loved ones through their scent while you’re sleeping. This is common because we are more open to guidance and dreams while asleep.
Many perfumes have a long shelf life. The scent of your deceased loved one can linger on fabric for many years. Even if you do not know the deceased’s name, the scent from their pillowcase can linger. This phenomenon is known as phantosmia. Regardless of how long the scent lingers on fabric, it’s likely that someone you’re in contact with is still smelling that smell.
Objects that say “I love you.”
You can still get small items from a deceased loved one. Often, they leave things in your path, which are signs that they are still around and in your life. When you see these small objects, you should meditate and be open to receiving their message. Otherwise, you can try consulting an online medium to interpret them. Whether they are small items or pieces of jewelry, they can serve as a remembrance of your deceased loved one.
Getting signs from deceased loved ones can be a reassuring and healing experience. They remind us that true love never dies and that our deceased loved ones are still with us in spirit and look out for us. If you are experiencing any signs from a deceased loved one, you should seek the help of a psychic medium to find out if they are real or not.

Loss of appetite
When a loved one is near death, they may suddenly feel energetic and want to move around. If this is the case, encourage them to get up and talk to you or to eat a little. This surge will subside soon. This is an inevitable step on the end-of-life timeline. This is also one of the last physical acts a person does before passing. In addition, the deceased may have no interest in food for a few days.
A lack of appetite can result in substantial weight loss and other changes in one’s normal functioning. Individuals who have lost a loved one will experience difficulties concentrating and enjoying previously loved activities. Ultimately, however, this loss of appetite and other changes will pass. Grieving individuals can learn how to function without their loved ones. They may also begin to eat again and enjoy the activities they loved before.
If the decrease in appetite is new and is associated with a traumatic event, a doctor may suggest further testing. A blood test and imaging may be ordered to determine if malnutrition is a factor. If malnutrition is the cause, nutrients may be administered through a vein. This may require a hospital stay. If this is the case, family members may be able to provide favorite foods that stimulate appetite.
