    How do I contact my mother who recently passed away?
    I just lost my mom/best friend 5 weeks ago. She wasn't religious but very spiritual. She had visits from close family members who had passed away, including my sister who died at 8. Although her death was very unexpected, I had talked to her beforehand about visiting me in her afterlife. Does anybody believe in this or know how I can be contacted by her? It must sound crazy asking but I am desperate to talk to her again and to ask her how and why and just to hear her words of wisdom one more time.

    This doesn't sound crazy at all! I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Try talking to her, and ask her to send you a sign or signal, or ask her to come to you in your dreams, and talk to you. Don't worry if this doesn't happen right away, just keep on talking to her. Look for the little signs she may send you, no matter how insignificant they may seem. When you see them, ask her to send another, so you know that she is still with you in spirit, watching over you, and protecting you. Be patient, and just know that she hears you, and is still with you.

    God Bless!

    A friend of my son's died in January. He kept bringing us strange things like coins and small screws and hiding some of our small objects. He certainly made his presence known in many ways.

    Your mom will most likely come to you in a dream. You may or may not be able to talk to her and vice versa. My mom came to me in a dream but the first time she was only able to hold her her arms out as to hug me. You can also speak to her either in your mind or outloud if you are alone. She will hear you.

    I feel that it's very wrong to try and contact the deceased. They may be very busy or occupied in manners we cannot understand. It would be better if you allow you mom to contact you. She will, when she either wishes or is able. Disturbing her isn't the best way to go. Calling her name especially when ringing a bell, is wrong. As I said, let her decide when contact is to be made.

    I am very sorry for your loss and hope that you will find great comfort during this time of mourning and sadness. Prayer to God is always the best thing in a situation such as this. Also, pray for your dear mother daily as prayer for those who have passed on truly helps them to elevate into higher dimensions of God's Light. Be comforted to know that your mom Still Lives! She may have shed her physical body but now lives in her Spiritual Body for eternity! She is still with you in spirit!

    Thank you to all who answered. I do talk to her out loud and in my head. She has left one sign of her presence that was totally awesome. My sister was playing around and saying she couldn't make it to my wedding that is coming up. She had teased Mom about that the week before she passed and she told my sister to knock it off and that she WAS going to my wedding. Well my sis was sitting next to her boyfriend on the outside of a make shift shelter Dad put up and me and Dad were under it. She started teasing again the way she did with Mom and out of no where a gust of wind blew through and dumped like 5 gallons of water on Sis. It didn't get her boyfriend or her dog at her feet... just her. Dad promptly said "I think your mother just told you, again."

    That is soooo sweet honey! Your sis better watch out with her teasing then! Mom will see to it, ;) See, your mom is watching out for you. She's still there and seeing everything you do. She will be at your wedding in spirit, being a proud mom! Honour her at your wedding, and she will be there to share in your first wedding dance, and even to guide her grandchildren when you have them. Take pleasure in the small things that happen, that remind you of her. It is probably her trying to tell you that she is doing just fine, and wants you to be happy too!

    God Bless you, and good luck with your upcoming wedding! Your Mom would want you to celebrate and she will be watching.

    She will come in her own time.It could be soon or it could take a while.One women claimed she hasn't been visited until 10 years after her fathers death.Don't be discouraged.Just talk to her and keep an open mind.Sooner or later she'll come.

    I know how you feel mamasgirl, having lost my own dear mum not long ago.
    There are no words right now that will ease your pain, but trust me when I say she is around you as we speak... Talk to her,as you go about your daily life as though she was right next to you, because you cannot see her does not mean that she is not there.

    I go to Mum's resting place and fill her in on the latest gossip, TV soaps,just talk to her about normal things, perhaps you could try the same,it really does help.

    The feeling is one of comfort and peace,if I am worried about something I ask her opinion, and as strange as this may seem an answer will come to me,it's almost like her energy is concentrated there and I'm able to connect with her... if that makes sense.

    Yes I do believe they can be contacted, through reputable mediums, it 's whether you should go along that path... it's obviously your choice, but I believe that when things are right... maybe some time has passed or whatever it may be, your Mum will come to you quite naturally.


    Just think of your mum as moving next door... cause you will see her again, she's just gone a little earley that's all...

    Blessings

    Sorry for your loss. You may not like this answer but prayer is the only true authentic way to "talk" with our loved ones. The voices, answers etc. are whispers in our heart that are there forever-just a breath away. Try it and you will feel an overwhleming sense of peace. Blessings to you.

    This question is right up my alley, as I just lost my mother on July 25th. This Monday August 25th at 9:22 pm will be the 1 month annivarsy of her death. I have been praying and crying to her, asking her to show me a sign that her Spirit/Soul is still alive. But have not received any sign. I was talking to her at the funeral parlor over her body, asking her to show me a sign any sign, blow in my ear, touch me, move something, anything, but nothing happened. And also I have been hoping that she would come though in dreams.

    The Holy bible says in the old Testement, that the Dead know nothing, as their conscienceous has been wiped out and so has their memory. They sleep for 1,000 years which is a Body-Soul Sleep until Christ rises the dead. They said the living know that some day they will die, but the dead do not know they are dead. I was hoping that it was wrong, but so far it has been right. Even my Dad who died 21 years ago, I have been trying to connect with him and so far nothing, not even a message from my so called spirit guide or guardian angel that we are supposed to have? Who knows, all I know is am disappointed as hell and my Grief is growing stronger everyday as I miss her so much. I was hoping her Spirit was alive, and that she can prove it to me, But I cannot see her, I cannot feel her, and I cannot sense or dream of her, therefore she is gone body and soul.

    It is one of the saddest and hardest things we'll go through.

    I am sorry you lost you mother. The pain will ease in time.

    I lost mine many years ago and still would give almost anything to hear her voice,
    And tell her I love her one more time.

    I lost mine sorry to hear about yours.. . you can contact her using your mobile (no joke) if your mobile has voice recorder on it then all you do is talk and leave silence for her to answer you. Then you play it back and you should hear her trying to contact you. Better still, download Wavepad and transfer the audio file to your PC then you can applify it. You will be surprised, I was. You have to train your ears and listern hard. . Good luck, mike

    Since a phone is designed to pick up energy and "translate" it to speech , and we are bombarded by energy from radio stations , satellites, the Sun , all the different galaxies just to name a few,.
    The chances you will hear something trying the cell phone method of EVP are good!

    The chance it is from a spirit or entity is very very small and that you are really hearing words even smaller, and that it is an actual response to a question... almost nil.

    I have encountered electronic voice phenomena before and I am skeptical that it is really "words" I heard and not hearing sounds that are similar and reading in things that are not really there.

    I don't know.. I'm 22 my moms been dead for 6 years and I don't think I've had any signs of her contacting me.. I've had two dreams of her with in 6 years and they didn't make sense.. in my dream>>>>"my mother came back to life after being dead" after that her and I were just sitting on her porch swing talking like every thing was normal then my twin sister and our best friend came walking through the front yard begging me to walk to the river "clear across our lil town" and go fishing I said no I didn't want to well my mom made me walk to the river and go fishing with them.. that was the end of my dream.. I really don't think that was her coming to me.. I think that was just some stupid dream that made matters worse for me being she had been dead in the dream then came back to life.. weird and messed with my mind a little bit. what do you people think of that? Would love to know

    I am so sorry for your loss. It's a loss that will always be with you. My mom passed on march 30th this yr. I know this sounds silly but I went to a spiritualist her name is Pat. You can email her at
    [email protected]. She has helped me and I do feel better.

    Please see my answer I posted today May 31, 2012. Pat has helped me. I am a Christian and believe that some people God has given a gift to help us.

    Go to your library and take out a book by Dr. Raymond Moody. The title is "Reunions". Dr. Moody is the person who brought Near Death Experiences to main stream society. Actually, he is the person who came up with the term Near death Experience. Reunions is a book on contacting deceased relatives.

    I lost my mother on June 20 , 2012 and I feel like I am stuck in a nightmare everyday. I cry all day long and constantly think about her all day. My mother and I were very close as I was an only child. My mother used to smother me and even though I am an adult, she used to call me her little girl. I just get so upset and discouraged because I want to see her again and want her to appear to me . I only had one dream of me touching her face, and hugging her and her telling me not to worry about her... but the dream ended to fast. I miss her too much.

    Chiquita - my heart is broken for your situation. Anybody who thinks the loss of a loved one is not filled with grief is simply ignorant. There are many people out there that claim they can contact a loved one... and I simply want to warn anybody of that. The spirit world is real, and most of it is not good. Spirits can see our grief and drive us to seek their contact. My advice to anyone seeking to contact a loved one due to grief is to seek professional help first... someone who can help you deal with your feelings. Reaching out to the spirit world can have severe consequences.

    I totally agree with u. I definitely don't want to contact the spirit world but I just want to contact her. I know it'll be impossible and I definitely don't want to invite any unwanted spirits. My mom was very religious n I hope that God will just sent me a sign or something. I know God works in mysterious ways so I know I will have to be patient. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance that she is with me always. Thk u for your advice : )

    Well you sort of answered your own question. If she was a religious mother, I'm sure she is in Heaven. You know where she is... now you can take the steps to assure that you go there as well. She's not with you always... not right now anyway... but you can be reunited someday. God doesn't need to give you a sign... he's given His word, and if your mother followed that word you already know where she is. Take great joy in the fact that your mother is with God right now... not sad and not in pain. Look forward to the day when you can embrace her again!

    I lost mine in march 2012.

    I hate superstitious stuff and always believed mediums/spiritualists are dubious, perhaps tapping on the dark side and I never approve of people seeking such stuff. But it's been 5 months and it's still painful. I know many people experience the same thing and everyone says time will heal. But how could time possibly heal if you can't see the person you love so much you will have give your life away just for that person to live. I miss her so much I thought of giving up my beliefs and seeking a medium. But the main thing keeping me alive is that if the bible is real, I might go to hell if I kill myself and I still don't get to see mum because she's in heaven. She accepted christ with me last year. Mediums/spiritualists seem to make christianity unreal and I don't know if I can continue on.

    Hauntinghelper: I've been seeing psychiatrists, therapists, psychologists, and all said the pain won't go away as we'll always miss mum.
  • Aug 8, 2012, 04:20 PM
    hauntinghelper
    Tbcylh - I do believe the pain can go away... and the psychiatrists/psychologists of the world are never going to get that. This is from one Christian to another... take great joy in knowing that your mother is with Her savior now and forever. She's not hurting, she's not lonely, she standing in awe of the presence of God. Knowing this won't take all the pain away, but it's the start of healing. Death happens... stay strong in the faith and you will see her again one day. Suicide and spiritism have no place in a Christian's life. Medium's and spiritists make Christianity unreal only because the spirits they deal with are in direct opposition to God's word. The bible says they exist and that their dealings with spirits are very much real... that fact is is that God forbids it... not that it isn't real. The spirits they are dealing with are lying spirits, not the departed spirits of humans.

    My heart goes out to you and your family... but take this time to seek God and especially the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Spend time in prayer and reading the Bible.. find comfort in those from your church. Hang in there, the pain does go away and you can still live a life full of Joy.

    I don't bother to attend church any longer, only reason I did it was for my mum anyway. I accepted Christ when I was 7/8 years old. Many things happened last year which I thought were signs from God that he'll heal my mum. But they were just lies. You might say they weren't signs, I was in delusion or they were coincidences. But I was sure they weren't just coincidences.

    How does one know that the bible is real, Christianity is real, we will see people who left the world again when we leave? Pastors and everyone who have strong faith believe. I used to. But logically speaking, only those who left will know isn't it? For the rest of us still in the world, we can only believe spiritually/faithfully, but there's always a chance what we believe is unreal because we can't know otherwise unless we leave.

    Thanks for clarifying on the spiritualist/medium issue. I was skeptical because I am not sure if it is indeed my mum the spiritualist/medium is communicating with.
