Ten ways that deceased loved ones will let us know they are okay.

Loved ones who have passed often come to visit us in dreams.

After our loved ones pass on and cross over to the other side, they are very anxious to let us know that they are okay and are aware of what is going on in our lives. If we are not able to feel them around us, they will often give us signs that we simply cannot ignore.

A loved one who is given a sign from the other side usually knows that he or she is receiving a message from a deceased loved one. Once you are open to receiving these messages, you do not have to look for signs. The signs will become obvious.

Here are 10 ways to tell that your loved one is trying to communicate with you:

1. They come through as a living entity. Our deceased loved ones are able to use their energy to take over the form of a living creature such as a bird, a butterfly, or a small animal like a chipmunk for a brief period of time. The bird or animal will do something that is uncharacteristic, for example, a bird will land on us, peck at our window, or even make noises that sound like a scream.

2. Our loved ones often place common objects such as flowers, coins, or rocks in our direct path. They like to place things in our pathway that were significant to them. I have heard of people who have had personal items such as a hairbrush they have found in unusual places such as the kitchen or pantry.

3. They give off unique fragrances. We can often tell our deceased loved ones are around us when we smell their unique scent or perfume, their favorite flowers, cigarette smoke, or any other familiar smell they had in life. There is usually no logical explanation of why the smell is there such as the scent of roses in the garage.

4. Our loved ones can make songs come on the radio at the perfect time. We know they are around when their favorite songs come on at the right time with the exact words we need to hear. Often the same song is played in many different places or at the same time that we are thinking of them as if to say, we are here with you.

5. Loved ones most often come to us in dreams. It’s one of the easiest ways for them to come through to us. All we need to do is to ask them to visit and they will. A dream that is a true visitation will be very peaceful and we will feel that it is truly our loved one. We can remember this type of dream in much detail, years later.

6. They show us the same numbers over and over to reinforce their presence. They like to show us numbers that are significant to them or you, such as birthdates or anniversaries. Also, when you see repeating numbers, such as 11:11, 222, 3333 or their favorite numbers, they are with you. These numbers may appear on clocks, billboards, or any other familiar place.

7. A loved one’s presence can also create a feeling of tranquility and harmony for no reason. When our loved ones are with us, they make us feel so loved and at peace. It usually happens at the most unsuspecting time, or just when we need it and there is no logical explanation for our sudden calm.

Angels are loved ones, whose names we already know.

8. They can place thoughts in our conscious mind. Because they live in spirit form, our loved ones don't have an audible voice. For that reason, they give us messages telepathically. Pay attention to thoughts that just "pop" into your head. If something your loved one would say just pops in your head for no reason, it is probably him or her having a conversation with you.

9. They love to toy around with electricity. They can turn electricity on and off. They like to flicker lights, turn the television and radio on and off, and make appliances beep for no apparent reason.

10. Loved ones can make buzzing noises in our ears. Because our loved ones speak to us on a higher frequency, we may hear ringing sounds in our ears when they are trying to get our attention. They are telling you to listen to what they are saying.

These are the most common ways that loved ones who have passed let us know that they are around us. 

If you haven't received any of these signs, ask your loved ones to come to you with a sign to let you know they are okay. The more you are aware of the messages they are giving you, the more they will continue to allow you to know they are present. Be patient and determined, and they will let you know that they are okay and sometimes help you with your day to day problems. 

Your loved ones want to know that you're okay too!

Your loved ones may have passed but they still care about you and want you to be okay.
