1st Signs Received By Linda M Hughes From Her Husband
When my husband died in 2021, my overwhelming sense of loss was somewhat cushioned by the knowledge that he would try to connect with me. I figured that he would meet up with our son Charlie, they would compare notes and determine which connection attempts had worked and which ones had not. And then they would both try using the things that worked.
Chuck connected within 3 days. I awoke freezing cold in the middle of the night. I reached down to the end of the bed to pull the spare blanket onto me. As I pulled it, my skin was covered in goose bumps, what I now call "psyche bumps". I felt a presence standing right where he used to stand, before he would get into bed. He was there, I knew he was there. I could not see him, but I sensed him. If I had leaned forward, I could have outlined the shape of his body with my hands perfectly. But he was very confused, he stepped forward, paused in total confusion and withdrew. I spoke softly to him, telling him that it was alright. I pulled the blanket back and asked him to join me. He stayed for a moment more and then vanished.
This happened every night for a week. Before his death, I had made a commitment to attend an event in another city. A friend and I had arranged to split the cost of a hotel. Everything went according to plan, except that she had had car trouble and said she would arrive late. We arranged access for her at the front desk, I went to bed and to sleep. I felt the familiar "psyche bumps" and woke up immediately. I sensed him next to me and started to talk softly just as I did at home. My friend chose that exact time to arrive, fumbling with her key card outside the door. He vanished very quickly. He never repeated this type of visit again.
I always figured that maybe he had accidentally found a "wormhole" or a special way to come back home, was startled by my friend and gave up trying to figure out how to get back. Either that or he was somehow redirected from his side.
At any rate, my overwhelming grief started to turn into an absolute rock solid belief that I could learn to connect with him and with my son Charlie.
But, first, I thought I better go see if a Medium could jumpstart the process.
