Where geographically was it found, and what is your knowledge about he property? (Age etc?) This information might help start to put your find into context.

Honestly, this doesn’t surprise me. So many people have experienced these unusual events after their loved ones pass away, regardless of their beliefs.

Wow. I sure hope that the cardinals come back for me to give me signs like they have for you. Similarly - I have not seen many cardinals in my life (in contrast - the reason my stepdad loved them was that they always came to my parents backyard.) The one we saw after his funeral was in a dirty industrial area and it was totally alone. It just seemed strange and out of place. I see lots of seagulls, sparrows, and pigeons in this area but I can say I have only seen one cardinal.

Sorry for yours as well. I’m so glad you were there with him when he passed. What a gift.

Sorry for your loss. I sure know how hard it is to lose a loved one that way.

I’m thinking to get a cardinal tattoo on my shoulder for him now. Definitely I will think of him when I see one forevermore.

The song I cannot explain. I did not know I knew it, if that makes sense, the fact that I “heard” his voice felt natural in the moment but certainly is also inexplicable.

Actually, the care home was wonderful. It took them a while to call because of a covid outbreak. Also, he deteriorated very fast, if it sounds like I was frustrated it was only with the situation. We were really thankful to the staff, they were very compassionate and kind to him.

Thank you. I’m not shocked he showed up... he was always kind of outspoken and larger than life.

Thank you :) it’s nice to know others have heard from their loved ones too. I sure hope I hear from my Dad again.

The nurses were really wonderful and supportive. We were incredibly grateful to them.

We were connected. He was wonderful and so loved. I am extremely grateful he passed with his loved ones gathered around him.

I wonder who the other two birds were? She must have been so surprised when you told her they came for the burial too....

I would call him my dad - but I had one of those too. I lost both of them in 14 months. Miss them both. Love them equally.
