Incredible Facts

The death of loved ones is always a tragic and painful event. Perhaps that is why many believe that they can still communicate with us even after they have left this world.

Many people talk about inexplicable sensations and events who were associated with dead people close to them.

Some claim to see spirits, while others simply believe that our friends and family members stay with us long after death.

Although these phenomena do not have scientific confirmation, we still believe in such a possibility.

Here are a few of the signs that many people have claimed linked the departed to friends and family.

Have you experienced something similar and do you believe that dead people are trying to contact us?

1. Their smell

Smell can be one of the most powerful ways a deceased relative or friend can communicate. People often talk about smelling perfume or deodorant, while others might smell the person's unique scent.

Also, many reported smelling cigarette smoke if the deceased was a smoker in life, or their favorite food.

2. Appearance in dreams

Although many dreams with friends and close family members we have lost can be rationalized, many argue that dreams are, in fact, phenomena from another world.

Thus, many dead people try to contact us while we sleep. They may simply appear and disappear, or they may try to convey some message through dreams, for example, that everything is fine with them.

3. Random items on the way

Objects that have been moved from their usual place and got in your way can also be a sign that a loved one is still around.

Many claim that important items such as photographs or jewelry have mysteriously ended up elsewhere. These items are believed to be in your path to let you know that the person who is not with you is still around.

You can often hear that a person knew that he left the thing in a certain place, but he somehow moved.

4. Feeling of presence

Perhaps the most common way to know if a loved one was nearby is to feel their presence.

Although difficult to perceive, this sign often convinces even the most hardened skeptics. It can be a sensation of shifting energy in the room. It is often difficult to explain, but you may know or feel that this person is there.

The sensation may become stronger if you feel something shift on the bed or chair next to you.

5. Melody at the right moment

When your favorite tune or song related to your relationship pops up at the right time, it can be a sign that your loved one is still around.

Many claim to hear a song that is meaningful to them over and over again in different places. They believe that this is a reminder that this person is close.

Although some will consider this a mere coincidence, people claim that they heard the song at the very moment when they were thinking about the deceased person.

6 Strange Electrical Activity

While it may seem like a scene from the movies, many people talk about strange electrical activity that occurs when a deceased person tries to contact them.

This can take many forms, such as the flickering of a light or TV, the sudden switching on of an appliance, or the noises and beeps of electronic devices.

Some talk about phone calls that no one answers from the other end.

7. Favorite numbers

One of the ways to communicate with loved ones can be the use of numbers.

People talk about how they begin to see very important numbers that appear everywhere, for example, on watches, in books or on TV. These could be important dates, ages, or even the person's favorite numbers.

8. Touch

It may come as a shock, but the feeling of being touched when you are alone can be a very powerful sign of the presence of a loved one who has died.

There are many ways to touch, such as a light kiss, when someone slides your hair or strokes your back or arm. This is often accompanied by a sense of presence.

9. Animals

Many believe that deceased loved ones will try to make themselves felt through animals. For example, a butterfly, bird, or other animal may catch your eye, or it may look similar to you.

Some report that usually aggressive animals tried to approach and even touch them, which was considered a sign that the deceased person wanted to contact.

Question: Do the souls of the dead come every Friday night to their graves?

Answer: Asked Imam Ar-Ramli about the souls of the dead. Is there anything reported that they come to their graves every Friday night, that is, they visit the graves and stay there until sunset? Do they also visit their relatives' houses? Do they come to the graves on other days and see those who are present there?

To this he replied with the following words:

“An authentic hadith is transmitted, testifying to the return of souls (ruh) to all the bodies of the dead that are in the graves.

Al-Yafi" and said the following about it:

“According to the madhhabu Ahl as-Sunnah, the souls of the dead at times return from Illiyain (the place where the souls of the righteous live) or from Sijjin (the place where the souls of sinners are placed) to their bodies, which are in the graves. And this happens when Allah wishes, especially on Friday night.They sit there and talk and receive the mercy of Allah if they are from among those who deserve this mercy.And they are also punished if they are from among those who deserve punishment.Only souls receive mercy and punishment, not bodies while they are in Illyin and Sijjin. And when they come to the graves, both (souls and bodies) participate in this, that is, at this time both the soul and the body receive mercy or punishment according to their position.

Also Ibn Qayyim said:

“Hadith and asar testify that the dead know and hear those who visit them, and receive a certain pleasure from their arrival. This applies to everyone - martyrs and others. And there is no specific time limit for this. This opinion is more reliable (assahh) than the asar of Zahhak, who speaks of limiting the arrival to a certain framework or period of time. Therefore, the soul dwells in Ar-Rafiq al-a "la", being tied to the body. Thus, when a Muslim greets this deceased, he immediately responds to the greeting, being in this place. Some gave the example of the sun, which is located on heaven, and its rays illuminate the earth.

It is narrated from a man from the Asim al-Jahdari family that a few years after his death, Asim saw him in a dream and asked: “Will you know about our coming to you?” He replied to this: “Yes, we will find out about it on Friday afternoon, Friday evening and Saturday before sunrise. I again asked him: “How is it, but on other days you won’t recognize it?” He said, "It's because of the virtues and the greatness of Friday."

Said Al-Kurtubi:

“There is an opinion that souls constantly visit their graves every Friday. Another opinion is also transmitted: they come to their graves and the houses of relatives and at any other time when Allah wills it, because such independent actions are allowed for the souls. They see those who are there, regardless of where they came - to the graves or to the houses of relatives.

Do the dead really see us and feel prayer?

Father, I read that the dead see us and feel prayer. But why is there no news from them until 40 days? Due to the fault of the neurosurgeon, after the operation, I lost my only son, Alexander, 39 years old. I mourn him very much, I calm down when I read the Psalter, all the rest of the time there are memories of him, despondency and tears. I read the Bible - Ecclesiastes, ch. 9(4-10). God says, "Ask and it will be given." I pray for my son, but there is silence from there, there is no answer to my prayers, requests and questions. And I have such pain and longing in my heart. I order masses for the repose, memorial services, I ordered several magpies in churches and monasteries, they read the Psalter about him in the monastery, I pray myself ... And no answer. Why? Answer, please, father, I do not understand anything.

Good health, Valentina. First of all, I would like to humanly try to calm you down, at least through an answer to help you drive away despondency and longing. You, being a Christian, and without me, are probably well aware that the Lord controls everything in this world. There is a lot of evidence of this, and the very first is in the Creed: "I believe in one God the Father Almighty." Nothing can happen in this world or in the next without His will. Also in the Gospel there are many places about birds that will not fall without the will of the Heavenly Father (Luke 12:6-7).

Based on the above evidence, we cannot say that your son died due to the mistake of a neurosurgeon. He died primarily because the Lord allowed him to pass from this world to another. And directly on earth, the mistake of a neurosurgeon was only a “tool” in the hands of the wise providence of God. If you look from such an angle, then a person will inevitably humble himself before the providence of God (after all, God wanted and allowed this, and not man, God who is Love, who never makes mistakes and knows exactly what is useful for us and when), and therefore, calm down a bit. Having calmed down, a person will begin to think more clearly and pray more soberly, without scattering thoughts. This is the first and very important point that I would like to tell you about.

The second thing I would like to draw your attention to is the question of the existence of the soul outside the body. In your question you are quoting Holy Bible and, inwardly agreeing with him, you make a serious mistake. An equal sign was placed between the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament is the time when they were waiting for the coming of the Messiah; a time in which there was no clear understanding of either salvation or the fate of the soul after death. In a conversation with a Samaritan woman, this was very well expressed: “When the Messiah comes, he will declare everything to us” (Gospel of John, chapter 4, verse 25). The very name Old already speaks for itself - that is, decayed, out of use. In his interpretation of the Gospel of John, Theophylactus of Bulgaria writes: “Under “wine” you can understand the gospel teaching, and under “water” everything that preceded the gospel, which was very watery and did not have the perfection of the gospel teaching. I will give an example: the Lord gave man different laws, one - in paradise (Gen. 2:16-17), another - under Noah (Gen. 9), the third - under Abraham about circumcision (Gen. 17), the fourth - through Moses ( Exodus 19; Exodus 20), the fifth - through the prophets. All these laws, in comparison with the accuracy and power of the Gospel, are watery, if one understands them simply and literally. If anyone looks deep into their spirit and understands what is hidden in them, he will find water turned into wine. For he who discerns spiritually what is said simply and is understood by many literally, without a doubt, will find fine wine in this water, drunk later and saved by the Bridegroom Christ, since the Gospel has appeared in the last times (John 2-10), one more reminds of snake and oh ancient history(Num. 21:5-9), and thus at one and the same time, on the one hand, teaches us that the ancient is akin to the new, and that the same Lawgiver of the Old and New Testaments, although Marcion, Manes, and the rest of the collection of such heretics reject the Old Testament, saying that it is the statute of the evil demiurge (artist); on the other hand, it teaches that if the Jews avoided death by looking at the copper image of the serpent, then all the more will we avoid the death of our souls, looking at the Crucified One and believing in Him. Compare, perhaps, the image with the truth. There is the likeness of a serpent, having the form of a serpent, but not having poison: so here the Lord is a Man, but free from the poison of sin, who came in the likeness of the flesh of sin, that is, in the likeness of flesh subject to sin, but He Himself is not the flesh of sin. Then, the beholders avoided bodily death, and we avoid spiritual death. Then the hanged man healed from the sting of snakes, and now Christ heals ulcers from the mental dragon (John 3-15).

The Old Testament promised long life to those who in it pleased God, while the Gospel rewards such life not with temporal life, but with eternal and indestructible life (John 3-16). The worst mistake is to live by old testament, you need to try to get away from this.

The third thing that needs to be said is the problem of Faith and Knowledge. To believe that your prayers, tears, sighs, heartache, all those services that you order are for the benefit and help the soul of your son Alexander to be cleansed is one thing. But knowing is another thing. We really want to see the result of our deeds right there. Where knowledge reigns, there is still very little faith. Such a person is not yet firm, he vacillates, sways, is ready to fall. Whoever firmly believes does not need any manifestations from that world. In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, at the very end of it, the rich man asks Abraham: "Send Lazarus to my father's house." Abraham retorts: "They have scriptures, let them believe them." The rich man replies: “No, they will not believe the scriptures, if someone rises from the dead, they will believe it.” Then Abraham said to him: “If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, then if someone rises from the dead, they will not believe” (Luke 16:31).

There are people like that today who say: “Who has seen what is happening in hell? Who came from there and told us?” Let them listen to Abraham, who says that if we do not listen to the Scriptures, then we will not believe those who would come to us from hell. This is evident from the example of the Jews. They, since they did not listen to the Scriptures, did not believe even when they saw the dead risen, they even thought of killing Lazarus (John 12:10). In the same way, after many of the dead were resurrected at the Crucifixion of the Lord (Matt. 27:52), the Jews breathed on the apostles even more murder. Moreover, if this resurrection of the dead were useful for our faith, the Lord would do it often. But nothing is so useful today as a careful study of the Scriptures (John 5:39). Even the devil would have illusoryly managed to raise the dead (although), and therefore he would have misled the unreasonable, planting among them the doctrine of hell, worthy of his malice. And with our sound study of the Scriptures, the devil cannot invent anything like that. For they (the Scriptures) are a lamp and a light (2 Pet. 1:19), by the radiance of which the thief is revealed and revealed. So, you need to believe the Scriptures, and not demand the resurrection of the dead (Gospel of Luke, chapter 16, verses 19-31).

We do not need to look for visions and phenomena that confirm our knowledge. We need to direct all the forces of the soul and body to the acquisition of faith. God deals with each person in the best way from the point of view of his salvation and fate in eternity.

It is very difficult and painful for you now, it is difficult to survive this grief. It seems to me that you, perhaps, due to strong maternal love, could even without noticing it love the creation more than the Creator, that is, the son more than God. That very attachment hurts and hurts you. Please look at the Gospel of Luke, chapter 14, verse 26. If you look calmly, we will see that God is as he was, and you are alive, and the soul of your son Alexander is alive. Patience to you, spiritual strength, faith and hope in God.

Even inveterate materialists want to know what happens after death to a close relative, how the soul of the deceased says goodbye to relatives and whether the living should help her. All religions have beliefs tied to burial, funerals can be held according to different traditions, but the essence remains the same - respect, reverence and concern for the otherworldly path of a person. Many are wondering. There is no answer in science, but popular beliefs and traditions abound with advice.

Where is the soul after death

For centuries, mankind has tried to understand whether it is possible to contact afterlife. Different traditions give different answers to the question of whether the soul of a deceased person sees his loved ones. Some religions talk about heaven, purgatory and hell, but medieval beliefs, according to modern psychics and religious scholars, do not correspond to reality. There is no fire, cauldrons and devils - only ordeal, if loved ones refuse to remember the deceased with a kind word, and if loved ones remember the dead, they are in peace.

How many days after death the soul is at home

Relatives of deceased loved ones are wondering if the soul of the deceased can come home, where it is after the funeral. It is believed that during the first seven to nine days the deceased comes to say goodbye to the house, to the family, to earthly existence. The souls of the deceased relatives come to the place that they consider to be truly theirs - even if an accident occurred, the death was far from their home.

What happens after 9 days

If we take the Christian tradition, then the souls stay in this world until the ninth day. Prayers help to leave the earth easily, painlessly, not to get lost along the way. The feeling of the presence of the soul is especially felt during these nine days, after which the deceased is commemorated, blessing him on the final forty-day journey to Heaven. Grief pushes loved ones to figure out how to communicate with a deceased relative, but during this period it is better not to interfere so that the spirit does not experience confusion.

After 40 days

After this period, not to return again - the flesh remains in the cemetery, and the spiritual component is cleansed. It is believed that on the 40th day the soul says goodbye to loved ones, but does not forget about them - a heavenly stay does not prevent the dead from following what is happening in the lives of relatives and friends on earth. The fortieth day marks the second commemoration, which can already take place with a visit to the grave of the deceased. It is impossible to come to the cemetery too often - this disturbs the buried.

What does the soul see after death?

The near-death experience of many people provides a comprehensive, detailed description of what awaits each of us at the end of the road. While scholars subject testimonies of survivors clinical death no doubt, drawing conclusions about brain hypoxia, hallucinations, hormone release - the impressions are too similar in completely different people, dissimilar either in religion or cultural background (beliefs, customs, traditions). There are frequent references to the following phenomena:

Bright light, tunnel.
The feeling of warmth, comfort, security.
Reluctance to return.
Meetings with relatives who are far away - for example, from the hospital they "peeped" into the house, apartment.
Own body, manipulations of doctors are seen from the outside.

When wondering how the soul of the deceased says goodbye to relatives, one must keep in mind the degree of closeness. If the love between the deceased and the mortals remaining in the world was great, then even after the end of the life path the connection will remain, the deceased can become a guardian angel for the living. Hostility softens after the end of the worldly path, but only if you pray, ask for forgiveness from the one who left forever.

How the dead say goodbye to us

After death, loved ones do not stop loving us. During the first days they are present very close, they can appear in a dream, talk, give advice - parents especially often come to their children. The answer to the question of whether dead relatives hear us is always in the affirmative - a special connection can persist for many years. The dead say goodbye to the earth, but do not say goodbye to their loved ones, because from another world they continue to watch them. The living should not forget about relatives, commemorate them every year, pray for them to be comfortable in the next world.

How to talk to the dead

The deceased should not be disturbed for no reason. Their existence is strikingly different from all earthly ideas about eternity. Each attempt to contact is anxiety and anxiety for the deceased. As a rule, the deceased themselves know when their loved ones need help, they can appear in a dream or send some kind of hint. If you want to talk to a relative, pray for him and mentally address the question. Understanding how the soul of a deceased person says goodbye to relatives brings relief to those left on earth.

Easter is over, but the series Orthodox traditions continues. This article talks about Radonitsa - the 9th day from Easter - parental day, a day of special commemoration of the departed. How to do it right.

To visit the cemetery, the Church appoints a special day - Radonitsa (from the word joy - because the Easter holiday continues) and this holiday takes place on Tuesday after Easter week. Usually on this day, after the evening service or after the Liturgy, a full memorial service is performed, which includes Easter hymns. Believers visit the cemetery to pray for the dead.

How to treat the grave of an Orthodox Christian

Cemeteries are sacred places where the bodies of the dead rest until the future resurrection.

Even according to the laws of pagan states, the tombs were considered sacred and inviolable.

From deep pre-Christian antiquity, there is a custom to mark the place of burial with a hill above it.

Adopting this custom Christian church adorns the grave mound with the victorious sign of our salvation - the Holy Life-Giving Cross, inscribed on a tombstone or set over a tombstone.

We call our dead dead, not dead, because at a certain time they will rise from the tomb.

The grave is the place of the future resurrection, and therefore it is necessary to keep it clean and tidy.

Cross on the grave Orthodox Christian- a silent preacher of blessed immortality and resurrection.

Planted in the ground and rising to heaven, it marks the Christian faith that the body of the deceased is here in the earth, and the soul is in heaven, that under the cross there is a seed that grows for eternal life in the Kingdom of God.

The cross on the grave is placed at the feet of the deceased so that the Crucifix is facing the face of the deceased.

It is necessary to take special care that the cross on the grave does not look askance, it is always painted, clean and well-groomed.

A simple, modest cross made of metal or wood more befits the grave of an Orthodox Christian than expensive monuments and tombstones made of granite and marble.

After a person dies, the vital activity of his body ends: the brain and heart stop working. It is generally accepted that the soul of a person is a separate substance that exists independently of the physical body and dies much longer than a person. Others believe that the soul does not die at all.

There is no exact and definite opinion on this matter. Everyone draws their own conclusions based on religion and personal preferences. In Orthodoxy, it is generally accepted that after the death of the body, the soul of a person lives for exactly 40 days in peace with living people and only then goes to heaven. It is on the 40th day that it is customary to commemorate the deceased, seeing him off to a “better world”.

Therefore, we can safely say that the souls of deceased loved ones are present next to their relatives for the first 40 days, which means they see, feel and hear people. Of course, this does not happen when it is convenient for the souls themselves, but when they are mentally or verbally remembered, remembered, addressed to them.

Do dead relatives see us at the cemetery?

Another question that worries people who have buried their loved ones is whether their souls see the dead when they come to them at the cemetery. Emphasis should be placed on what kind of souls are: the reposed and the unrequited. The first are the souls of those who died naturally or were killed, the second are the souls of people who committed suicide.

It is believed that undead souls are not worthy to go to a “better world” and their punishment is to wander among the living without finding rest. Such souls are often attached to their body, the place where they died, or the grave in which they were buried. It is worth talking with such souls, because it is not customary to pray for them and light candles, and only memories can somehow make their existence easier.

It is also believed that after burial, the soul may not go to the "other world" if she does not want to. She can exist among the living for as long as she needs, if she watches over loved ones and waits for the completion of unfinished business. In any case, the soul is always attached to the body, and if you cannot feel a person in an ordinary environment, you can feel him at the burial site.

What to do on memorial day

First of all, after arriving at the cemetery, you should light a candle, put it on the grave and pray. After that, it is customary to remember the deceased, mentally talk with him and clean the grave.

It is not recommended to eat or drink in the cemetery. Of course, there is nothing sinful in sitting with relatives near the grave. This custom has come to us since pre-Christian times. However, the church prohibits the use of alcohol in the cemetery. Therefore, it is better to go to the cemetery, pray there and talk with the deceased relatives, and sit down at the table already at home.

What Not to Do

It is forbidden to drink alcohol and arrange long feasts at the cemetery. Also, you can not arrange a magnificent feast at home after returning from the cemetery. Relatives can gather at the same table and just have lunch.

It is also not recommended to leave alcohol on the graves. This custom has nothing to do with Christianity, but has been going on since pagan times. Leaving perishable food at the graves is also not worth it. This can attract stray dogs and flies. It is better to distribute Easter cakes and krashenka, and you can leave a few sweets on the grave.

How the dead meet the living on Radonitsa

Souls descend on Radonitsa to their perishable body only once a year and wait for relatives and friends to come to visit them, supposedly on this day they can even touch you.
