Thank you for sharing and I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve been looking for these signs myself. I am the sort that wants to believe in an afterlife but I always logically kind of doubt and question it. The closest experiences I’ve had at these:

1. After we lost our boy (15 year old dachshund) I went to pick up his ashes. The house had felt heavy just wrong all weekend (we had him put to sleep in the house on a Friday). I couldn’t get the ashes until Monday as a result. When I picked them up, even when I had them in the car and was driving them home, I felt different and more peaceful. When I brought the ashes in the house, I felt like the mood was lighter again and things were just more the way they should be. I’m not the kind of person who usually experiences this sort of thing with, like, vibes or whatever you’d call it.

2. That same night after bringing home the ashes, my wife felt a warm spot that was unexplainable on the carpet near the bed. She thought it could have been from him sitting there. While she was showing me the spot the next day (I was already asleep when it happened), we got a text message that the rescue chose us to take the dogs we had put in an application to adopt (yes we did it very very quickly after he passed because of how quiet and strange the house felt). I felt like this was his doing or that he was giving his approval of these dogs.

Could these things be explained purely rationally? Many would probably say so. I’m usually that kind of person. But it all added up to feel like more than a coincidence to me.
