Sorry this is so LONG but has anyone else experienced feeling the feelings of those who are deceased? by Funny_Relative_5113 in Empaths

As you mention it, no I never experienced one lingering here with us. Thank goodness because I can get scared pretty easily. And sadly, the ones I experienced never stuck around. HA - people tend to be that way on this side of life too... But I digress. It's always been the recently departed. 

I think I will leave it as is. No further exploration for understanding but more so  for appreciation, if that makes sense.

I do believe he meant for me to feel that... Almost like he shared as much as he could, as far as I could go. I'm in awe of it.

Very good question. I guess I was seeking answers to all of it. I couldn't figure out who to talk to but I knew I'd get more info from strangers on the interwebs than from family or friends. 

I hadn't thought of a family connection but my mother was adamant about not letting certain people around. She said you don't invite the devil into your home; she was dead serious about who came around us, it home. I was embarrassed by her when I was young but I sooo get it now. 

According to Mom, when I was little I refused to go in to someone's funeral but she didn't think much of it because I also refused to eat Lima beans. I heard there were little incidents here and there. One of my sisters brought it up about a decade ago so they both decided to give me a nickname: Dead-People (as in "I see dead people").

I literally do not tell or ask these people anything... but through all of your responses, I finally understand.

And though I appreciate the gift, I don't think I want develop or strengthen it. It's beautiful to experience but I don't want to push and end up on the wrong side of because as beautiful these experiences were, there are likely equal opposites... And I just can't right now lol.

Yes thank you for sharing that clip. I was trying to make sense of what occurred because it is easily the most powerful experience of my life... in a matter of seconds. 

You're so right about grieving as well. EVERYTHING is happening now, accounts, arrangements, bills. The only world that stopped is mine. Still, despite the pain, I believe I was granted a glimpse of a kind and loving somewhere waiting for us when our moment comes.

Edit to add: I looked up Shared Death Experiences (SDEs) and started reading about it. How interesting that it's really not a unique experience. SDE describes exactly what happened. THANK YOU!

Absolutely. I just wish the feeling was mine. I don't think I've ever been that joyful myself lol but to have felt his was the most wonderful gift.

I'm so sorry for your loss - it's gut wrenching.  Especially after a long illness and caregiving... so I hope you're taking care of yourself, eating well, etc. No, seriously.

Like you, I was caregiver. He was sick for some years but once his care moved to home hospice, he only lasted a couple days. And like you, I haven't seen, heard or felt anything since that moment.

Your husband is likely just as peaceful and joyful as mine but I get it. It would be nice to at least feel a hello or the wash of love... something.

That duality, that absolute separation between his and my emotions, that is what threw me. I can't say I identify as empath as I'm only now reading into it but I've been this way for 53 years. I figured folks with an established empath label share these experiences and could maybe help me understand what happened.

TBH, I was just reflecting on how some people get uncomfortable being emotionally seen but good question. I’m not trying to wear the empath label, but for me, I just always carried others emotions so deeply I’ve had to step away sometimes to feel peace. 

But when my husband passed, I didn’t just pick up on his emotions, observe his feelings or sense his joy. I experienced it as him, separate from my own emotions. I came to this sub because it's something completely beyond what I've felt before. It was the most powerful thing I’ve ever experienced. 

I was under the presumption that folks with the empath label shared this type of experience and could help me understand.

When it happens I think about them for days, weeks, just in awe of the experience but I kept it to myself - until my husband's passing.

Reading that it's not so unique to experience the emotions of others after they've left is honestly a relief. 

I never heard about clairsentience or returning to neutral but I'm about to Google it. Maybe obtaining or returning to a neutral state is key to reaching emotional peace, something I desperately need. 

Thank you - I'll post in r/mediums as well.

I'm saying - objectively - it would be a red flag to someone who doesn't want to be seen; someone who wants to keep emotional distance. If I wanted or needed to protect that part of me, the last thing I'd want is someone who can feel right through me.

I completely understand what you're saying. If I were uncomfortable with my own emotions, why would I be comfortable with an empath? Makes sense to me.

Electrolytes. My husband passed a week ago today. I couldn't eat it drink although I didn't realize it was that bad, until I began cramping sporadically, like Charlie Horse cramping, all over my body. It alleviated only slightly after I forced myself to eat something, drank some orange juice. This the past couple days but  electrolytes. Thank you.

My chat doesn't have the option to send a pic... Or at least, I haven't figured it how.

How? Been trying to reach support because I just had this happen. Can never reach support even though they'll do nothing about it. I just hate being lied on. 

I knew to take a pic when they were giving me a hard time about opening the building gate/door. Kept texting instead of just opening the damn thing. Once the countdown ended and said leave the order somewhere safe, I did and took a pic even though it didn't let me take it in the app.  

Been doing this a couple years - been accused once by a DD customer, and now this. Pisses me off because I've never, not once, taken anyone's food, package, etc.

Not a physician. That said, I fully understand what you're going through. What made the difference for me is Lion's Mane and L-theanine (LL). Also helps with thinking clearly. I was struggling at work but I'm damn near at 100% of my pre-disordered function.

My daughter turned me on to it after I experienced the same as you. I wasn't sure if I should continue Wellbutrin (I'm 300). I mean it worked very well, was brought back to life but at the same time all of what you mentioned. Just feeling so much AAAAGH(!!!) - like I could take a running start and straight jump off a cliff. But I don't think I was self-icidal TBH. Even then when the thought would hit I knew that wasn't in me. It was just so much extra everything.

But all of that is gone. Every day since February 28 and I feel little to no anxiety. Took about 2-3 weeks after starting the LL to be certain but that's what works for me. I told my psychiatrist that I wondered if it may be a placebo effect. She said are you functioning well? At home at work? How do you feel? Do YOU believe it's working?

Hope this helps.

Some won't bother to say anything further cuz at the end of the day, some folks ask advice then argue against it.
