There is nothing wrong with sensing that someone that has died is close to you. This might be scary for you at first but if you have these feelings, it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
Seeing Someone Who Died
Once someone you love dies, you might see or feel them close to you. Some people will hear them talk or even smell the smell that they had. Some will feel that their presence is there, and it can be something that is comforting but it might also be bothersome.
The experiences that you have with the spirit world are normal and they are not something to be upset about. When someone dies that is close to you, your brain will think that you have to figure out where that person is. It takes time for your brain to realize that someone has died.
When there is someone that you know that has had a traumatic death, this might be someone that you see more than any one else. This can bring a lot of memories or flashbacks to you.
Talking to the Dead
Talking to a person that has dies is also a normal thing. This is part of how many people grieve. You might feel that they are close to you or think that you saw them, and you might even talk to them because sometimes the brain forgets that they are gone.
You may find that you just miss this person and it is comforting to your life to speak to them out loud and that is okay as well. There is nothing wrong with trying to get over your grieving and trying to move forward with your life. These are things that you would have told them when they were alive.
Love Yourself
There are ways that you can love yourself through these things such as:
Being Patient
Experiencing someone close to your or feeling like someone is by you is normal. Some people will tell you that you are going crazy but that isn’t true. You have to be patient with yourself and allow yourself time to grieve.
Writing Letters
Sometimes you might want to write a letter to someone that has died. This will allow you to tell them all of the things you didn’t get to tell them before they died. This can bring closure to you.
Be Kind
Be kind and loving to yourself as you work through the grieving process.
Understand Grief
Grief can be overwhelming and hard to work through but you can do it. Learn about different resources that are available to help you through your grieving process.
Talking to Someone
There are people that you can talk to such as a counselor or a therapist. You can also reach out to family or friends that are willing to help you through your thoughts and feelings. You need to get the support that you need so that you can move forward.
The suggestions for dealing with grief, such as writing letters and speaking to a counselor, are practical and grounded in well-established therapeutic practices.
From a psychological perspective, the article offers a valid interpretation of grief and the ways in which it manifests. It is not uncommon for individuals to experience sensory perceptions of the deceased as a coping mechanism.
I agree with you, Hammer. The brain’s way of managing loss can indeed result in these experiences. It is a testament to the depth of human connection.
Absolutely, both Hammer and Robin. This is a nuanced topic, and many psychological studies have corroborated similar findings.
It’s intriguing how the article normalizes experiences of sensing a deceased loved one. This aligns well with many cultural and spiritual beliefs around the world.
The emphasis on self-care and understanding grief is important. Everyone processes loss differently, and the article captures that diversity well.
