Linda, I did not know you lost a son, I am so sorry for your loss.

I love John Edwards and used to watch his show when I could also. My mom passed away, well, it will be 5 years on February 12, 2012. She does come to me in dreams and I have always known it was her way of letting me know there is life beyond. Its kind of weird because she doesn't talk per se, but I know exactly what she wants me to know. Thank you for sharing and I am sorry to hear of your losses.

I checked out JE website and signed up for the newsletter. He will be near us in March and I'm very seriously considering ordering the tickets.

Cherie6446....do you know how many readings he does at a typical event? I'm curious how great a chance I would have at getting a reading.

I have never seen this Edwards except I caught a few minutes on Dr. Phil. Does he have a show or do you have to go see him?

I hope so. I miss my lab so much, I still tear up when we meet another black labbie. I love my Dallas, but the hole in my heart when my Tiki passed is still wide open.

There were close to 1000 attending and he did about one dozen readings. That is about .012%. I felt such a connection to my son and always have that I felt certain that I would be read. Even if I hadn't the experience is awesome.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your son and your dog..

I just looked him up. I've always wanted to take my mom to one of his readings. He'll be in San Jose on Tuesday!! But his tickets are $150 each. :O

Cherie, I don't question what anyone believes especially if it makes them feel better. I have had several things happen since I lost my husband and my little Dee Dee. Maybe I am reading more into them because I want to but it is strange. My husband and I always wrote notes to each other, for 30 years. We drew a heart and put our initials inside it. He designed our wedding bands, wide gold with two hearts intertwined and B in one heart J in the other. He always bought me jewelry and things with hearts on them. I have two hearts on our monument. Not too long after he pased I was taking clothes out of the dryer. Nothing but socks, wash rags and small towels. Nothing with pockets. I saw something shiny in the bottom of the dryer and when I picked it up it was a small silver heart. Nothing valuable but nothing that was mine and it could not have fallen out of any pockets. I never saw it before. I just stared and I put it on top of his small bible on my night stand. I have had othe small incidents that I can't explain. It just made me feel close to Jim.

Wow, what a neat story! Thanks for sharing.

Sorry to hear of the loss.

John Edwards has an amazing gift!!

When he use to have a show on Tv years ago I dont think that I made it through one of his shows without crying my eyes out. Seeing how he touches so many peoples lives by bringing there loves ones through with his gift is such a wonderful and heart warming thing to whiteness.

I am a believer !!

Bev - I believe that heart was for you from your husband. One can not dismiss such signs.
Cherie

I agree! When my son died, it was right before Christmas. I had a hard time coming to grips. That winter was an exceptional wet year. Mid January I had a single daisy grow straight up about 3.5 feet right in front and center of my sons bedroom window. That daisy is in my Bible.

Wow another great story; I wonder how many of us have had such amazing things happen?

I had a very strange thing happen to me. When we first moved into our house it was Oct. My son passed away in June so it had been 4 months since he passed. I was very depressed and I was not going to decorate for Christmas but was talked into by family, they said my Grand daughters deserved it and they were right. So I had these electric white candles that sat in the window seal. One in all the front windows. My room, the girls room and the spare room. I had just got finished with all the decorating and I was going to take a bath and I told my other son Charles to turn off the lights and the candles in the windows. He was laying on the couch. About ten minutes went by and I was just relaxing in the tub when I heard,,,Mom you need to check those candles in the windows. I quick yelled at my son ,,,I asked you to turn them off please do it I want to relax. I hear nothing, no reply. I get out of the tub, wrap a towel around me and check the candles and sure enough the one in the girls room had leaned over and was burning the curtain. I took care of that and went downstairs to where my other son was and he was asleep on the couch. I said Charlie why would you tell me to check the candles when I had asked you to do it. He looked at me like I was nuts, he said Mom I fell asleep I am sorry but I never told you to check them. I took it as my son John had warned me about the candles. Maybe I am crazy but I still believe that today.

Thanks Cherie
 

Thanks Cherie, I want so badly to believe the heart was from him. He always told me if he passed first he would watch down over me and if I felt a soft breeze at the back of my ear it would be him.
I never saw the heart before and if I had been washing clothes like shirts or jeans or anything with pockets, but it was a small load of flat things and I never heard any clanking in the dryer like if a coin or something gets in there. It just shocked me and then I felt good. We wrote notes to each other almost every day. All those years, I love him so much and miss him so much.

Donna, I believe your story. I have also experienced happenings that could not be explained. We have to believe that these are messages from our loved ones that are looking out for us. Sometimes there are no explanations for things that happen to us. We are blessed when they happen and must except them.
I am so happy that so many of you have responded to this thread. I was so elated when I returned from the John Edwards event and just wanted to assure everyone that our little fur children are waiting for us. It is so reassuring.
Thank you all for your posts.

I have experienced this.

I am sorry for your losses...I hope your experience has helped ease your sorrows. Take care!

He used to have a show on SiFi...I guess it's SyFy now.

LOVE this sketch.

Ha ha love it!

This just made me tear up! I hope I get to see all my passed babies, each and every one of them!

What a beautiful thread! Very heart-felt. I'm so sorry about the loss of your husband and Gina. You are a very strong person!

Thanks for sharing! What an incredible story. I have always been a sceptic but your story gave me the chills.

I have always believed that...
 

I always believed that pets go to heaven where we can be with them again!! two years before I got my Rocky I had a Miniature Schnauzer that I loved dearly, he was once a family pet that rapidly became MY dog, a roll that I took with GREAT pride, I loved that dog as if he was my little boy! Well he got real sick and I had to do what was right for him, I didn't want him to be sick all the time, So I had him put down, then vowed to NEVER own another dog for as long as I lived.... ( funny how we change our minds isn't it lol ) Well the same year that I got my Rocky my mom and I went to see a psychic, She asked me if I once had a little dog that I thought of as if he were my child, my baby boy, she saw him always running around me in circles as I walked, which is what Eddie ( My schnauzer ) did. My jaw just about hit the ground, also made me start crying too. She told me that I WAS going to get another dog, that I was in fact going to have two dogs that I was going to have another terrier again. I was like YEA right. Well here I am with two dogs and my Nicky is a terrier!! They sure know what they are talking about lol!!

I loved reading this! I do believe he connected with your son and your "chirpy" little dog! I am a firm, dedicated believer in JE..... and even if we are wrong and this man is fake, he is a heck of a guesser and those of us believing in his capabilities does no harm..... only makes us feel good and comforted, warm and fuzzy, doesnt it! God bless you Cherie, and you let the strength and joy you got from this encounter with JE, bolster and carry your spirits high! I wish I had been with you!!!!

Thank You So Much
 

I have always believed dogs go to Heaven. God created all on earth. Noah took two of each on the Ark.
I miss my husband now gone over 4 months and my little Dee Dee who passed a month after him. I pray they are together since she was his dog, He chose her. I pray to be with all of them someday and my beloved Doberman Brandy and all my family and friends. That is what I look forward to. I look for any signs and read everything. God Bless All of You and your Babies. I have my little BJ now she is just 3 months old.

Even though the original post was in Jan I am so happy to see the recent postings. I think we all want to believe that we will see our loved ones, including our pets in the afterlife. All I can say is the JE didn't ask me any questions except for "does that make sense" or "do you understand this". The description of Gina being a "chirppy" little dog - "like a yorkie" was absolutely amazing. I wanted to tell everyone about my encounter with JE to bring some hope and comfort to all of us who have lost the ones we love.
At the end of the event he asked everyone to close their eyes and put their hands (palms up) in their lap. Think about being in a dark forest and suddently a brillant light shines directly down on you. He said this is the light of our loved ones that have passed and they are with us. I sat there with tears running down my face and felt very calm. He said we can do this anytime we want to think about the ones that have passed.
I hope sharing this brings comfort to all of you.
Cherie

This gives me hope :)

Me, too :)
