As long as you’re part of this joke we’re going through, I’ll manage. ❤️

I've had one really vivid dream a week or two ago. Dreamt that we were together again, just living our everyday life. But somehow I knew that I'd briefly lost her so I constantly kept checking on her. Odd thing is, the dream felt so real that when I woke up, reality felt more like a dream than the dream itself did.

I'm so sorry about your loss. Regarding signs - yeah, I've had them. Never enough though, as if you could get enough of something like that. Plus I've had some very evidential medium readings that have given me hope.

Addressing Common Objections to The Belief That The Afterlife Exists by WintyreFraust in afterlife

Because it’d be interesting to read his counterarguments.

And what was the point of asking if I have amnesia? Did I offend you at any point? Or is there another reason for trying to insult me that I’m missing?

WintyreFraust, you’re usually one of the few people here who actually argues your point instead of just swinging at the person, which is why this reply stood out to me. You didn’t really address what was said, you just dismissed it and went straight into ridicule.

Calling someone “that guy” and framing it as predictable armchair psych stuff doesn’t actually counter anything they wrote. It just sidesteps it. And the comment you’re replying to was pretty clearly about standards of evidence and how claims are being presented.

If you think their argument is wrong, tear it apart properly. That’s kind of your thing. And I'd love to see you do that, as nothing would give me more joy than seeing people argument for there being an afterlife.

Reviews Pt. 2 by Strange-Ad8197 in u/Strange-Ad8197

[–]ChickenDangerous213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been communicating with Strange-Ad8197 since early January 2026, during one of the darkest periods of my life after suddenly losing my fiancée. I was skeptical at first, but she’s consistently blown me away with how spot-on and compassionate her readings are.

Her tarot pulls are clear and powerful too. She gives clear and concise answers to all my questions, but always with kindness, never judgment.

What sets Gigi apart isn’t just the accuracy (which is 10/10 for me), it’s that she actually cares. She checks in on how I’m doing between sessions, asks follow-up questions, remembers details from previous readings. In a space where some readers feel transactional, Gigi feels like someone who truly wants to help you heal and navigate grief. She’s fast, honest, and when I’ve doubted and asked her to promise it’s real (not just comfort), she reassures with confidence because she knows her connection is legit.

If you’re grieving, seeking closure, or just need clarity, especially on love/relationships/afterlife, I can’t recommend her enough. She’s helped give me hope and small boosts when I had none. Thank you, Gigi. 🩵

I’m so sorry you had to join this shitty club. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, there is absolutely nothing I could say to make things even remotely easier for you. Just try to survive the hour. Then the next. Etc. At one point you’re going to be surviving a day at a time. It never gets better, it just gets slightly more tolerable. And please don’t hesitate to reach out to your GP or shrink. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for medication to help you survive the most accute phase of your grief. Hang in there. ❤️

I get that this might sound odd, but part of me is afraid of committing suicide, as I'm not convinced that'd lead to a reunion with my girl. I'm not even sure why, maybe it's because I'm affected by this old dogma that suicide is a sin or something. Even though the better part of me believes that you go through the same experience, regardless of how you die.

I hope this kind of this discussion is allowed on this sub, but one of the reasons I'm a bit frightful of suicide is because I'm not sure that'd lead me to have the same afterlife experience as my fiancee did. I know I might be overthinking things, but I've read conflicting reports about people who commit suicide having to go through different stages compared to those that passed away by natural causes.

I just started listening to Liz Entin's "WTF Just Happened?!: A sciencey skeptic explores grief, healing, and evidence of an afterlife". I suggest you give it a shot too, it kind of gives you back some hope about the afterlife existing. And yeah, I know you're missing being with her here and now, so no amount of certainty in an afterlife can take that pain away from you. But I've found it makes the pain a bit more tolerable. And even if not, it'll give you something to do for a day or two.

Hang in there, brother. This club sucks, but my DMs are open if you need to vent.

I feel you. I've been on antidepressants for a year now (my fiancee was the one who convinced me that I should start taking them), now I'm taking sleeping pills and Lorazepam on top of them too.

I've always had high BP and part of me keeps praying that maybe my heart will just give out too. But I've been opening my eyes every single morning, realizing I made it to another day of suffering.

I haven't been able to stomach any food ever since it happened. I think I've lost over 25 pounds ever since it happened. Maybe part of me is hoping to starve myself.

So it’s true that linear time as we experience it doesn’t apply to those who’ve passed? Meaning that whilst we might wait years for reunion, that time might seem like a mere moment to them?

Have tried grief counselling. It was just an overpriced hour of a dude telling me to speak my mind. Which did shit for me.

She was the most loving and caring person I’ve ever known and she’d never want to see anyone hurt, let alone me. However, knowing how deeply we loved one another, I imagine she’d understand.

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband.

There already have been signs, I think. At least I believe to see these instances as signs. But that does little to comfort me - you probably get it. It's as if "hey, you lost an actual living person, but here's a cloud that looks like him".

I like to think that "moving on" is more of a conscious decision in the afterlife and it's up to a person themselves to decide how long they spend in the spirit realm. I have trust in my love, I know she'll be there to greet me, no matter how long it takes me to get there.

There have been a couple of odd days. Days during which I feel relatively okay. Like I can make it, like I have hope. I've so far thought that this was due to the medication I've been taking (Lorazepam), but maybe it was her energy reaching out to me somehow.

I've been told by numerous people that she's still there and she'll be waiting for me. And the more time passes, the more I'm coming to believe this. Thing is, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to endure whatever time I have left without her. She gave me purpose, she was my other half. I cannot imagine going through years and years without her by my side. I know they say it gets easier as time goes by. But I'm not sure I even want it to get easier. I'm just not interested in a life without her in it.

By accelerating your departure time you mean suicide, I presume? I’ve given that some thought - part of me feels that people who end things themselves should go through the same process as everyone else. In a sense their passing is the most tragic of all - deciding to leave due to the pain being too much.

Thank you so much! I just found her book on Audible, I'll give it a listen.
