I hesitated to post this, I know some people may roll their eyes, but I decided to anyway because it happened.

About a week ago I was just sitting and scrolling after managing to get some paperwork done when the electricity in the whole house went out.

I was looking at my phone and glanced at the time: 6:15.

The power was out for I'd say only about a minute. I didn't think that much about it until the time sort of hit me.

My husband took his last breath at 5:15 on January 15th. (I know because I was there.)

If you figure in daylight savings time which took effect on March 8th, that would be exactly when he passed.

Another interesting coincidence is that March 8th is our anniversary.(Maybe a stretch but odd?)

The weather was sunny and clear.

Coincidence or something more?

So, this sounds a little crazy but I found something that helped tonight.

I visualized a really kind friend sitting beside me (a made up person) since I was crying and another wave of grief hit especially hard.

This "friend" listened to me patiently as I said everything out loud, cried out loud. I sobbed as I talked about the things I miss, I reminisced in detail many of the memories people are sick of hearing about. I really put it all out there, out loud!

I talked until I was tired and when I was finally finished, I was amazed at how much lighter I felt, how much tension I was holding onto.

They say that the body doesn't lie and we hold trauma and emotions in our bodies, how it will cause physical pain, broken heart syndrome among other things.

So, a crazy lady hysterically ranting at thin air it is for now, but it's really me caring for me. I'm treating myself as I would treat someone that I love. (!) I'm working on it, we'll see how it goes.

*I refuse to do this with AI although I know some people probably have.

Anyhow, happy mother's Day to all of the moms out there, single dads, and those missing your own.

I know holidays can be hard.🌹💐

I've been woken up more than once by my husband's voice. The last time was a couple of days ago, I was sound asleep and heard him say "Kath!" and I was instantly awake.

A couple of hours later I looked outside and saw a large coyote in our back yard.

Maybe I'm delusional but that was totally something he would have called me to see, plus occasionally two of our cats will slip out the door if I'm not super careful.

Of course I really want to believe that it was him and not my mind, it did sound urgent.

Anyone else?

I'd love to hear about any synchronicities or stories where you felt like your person was around?
