I've been avoiding feeling anything and just keep myself so busy I don't have time to think or if I do start to allow myself to think it just hurts too much so I shut down. I guess as long as I continue to run away from my feelings I'm also closing myself off from being open. The old saying 'no pain, no gain' probably is very accurate in this situation.

About two weeks after my Mum passed I smelt her perfume, it was very strong and intense and lasted about ten seconds, it was very comforting. I know psychologists say your brain can 'conjure up' the memory of a smell to bring comfort but after experiencing it I'm not so sure it was just that. It occured at the exact moment when the realisation that she was really gone had hit home. Personally I like to think it was her way of saying don't worry I've not gone far.

malai, that is very interesting. Once she told you of her secret and moved to the next plane did you have any further contact?
gizmuqt, I can see your point about not getting things when you try too hard. I also understand that it is important to train your mind to be 'in tune' to things.

Have any of you had contact from someone who never believed in life after death? I wonder if those that were skeptical in life are not able to communicate after they die?
