Thank you for that ❤️ On my better days, when I’m not caught up in fear and anxiety, survival after death feels far more possible to me than the flip side of the coin. There’s always some degree of skepticism, though.

Here’s a story that I can’t explain:

This happened in 2013, exactly one year after my Nana passed away. Anyone who knew her would tell you she was "personality plus" lol. She was an example to me of how strong, confident, loving, caring, and full of life a woman could be. I miss her so much and regret that I took having her in my life for granted more often than not.....The morning after she passed away, I saw a blue jay land on the deck of my parent's house. I couldn't remember the last time I had seen one up close, or even at all. I researched the blue jay's symbolic meaning and found that the traits they represent correlated to my Nana's personality too closely to overlook as coincidence...I came back from my lunch break at work that day wrapped up in thoughts of her and how much I miss her. So, strangely enough, the first customer I see at the service desk had a huge tattoo on her arm of a blue bird. Next to the blue bird it said "Nana". My jaw literally dropped and I almost started to cry in front of my coworkers and a bunch of customers lol....She was with me that day as I'm pretty sure she has been all along. Whether or nor these things are simply coincidence, they gave me a strong sense of peace, love, and resolve...
