I love you find comfort in using your son's headphones. What a great idea to stay connected. I ask for signs. I always get them. One morning I asked for a sign, then went about my day. I came home from an errand to find begonia petals spread across the kitchen, dining area, and living room. I have begonias in my kitchen window. All the windows in the house were closed. I could tell dozens of stories like this. Just ask. Out loud. Our loved ones in spirit are only a thought away.

Of course my connections with my grandson are all about his intellect. I still feel weird talking out loud to him, but I often pick up little pearls of wisdom from programs I listen to or things I read such as "look at the natural world for the answers to life's challenges." By googling that expression I learned about a whole science called Biomimicry, that I'd never heard of before. I've been collecting these kinds of proverbial sayings for years. I used to send them to my grandson who shared them in his "bubble" and always told me the guys loved and were inspired by them.

Not woo-woo at all — and if we do this on our own, in whatever way works for us, we're far less likely to fall under the spell of charlatans waiting to exploit our grief.

This is beautiful. I have full on conversations out loud with my loved ones. I get replies and don't question whether it's me and my brain responding or it's them. I choose to believe it's them.
