Bridges to Heaven: Loved Ones on the Other Side
SIGNS IN NATURE
When your loved one crosses over, they’ll often manifest signs in nature to let you know that they’re still watching over you. Yet we frequently dismiss these signs as meaningless. How frustrating this must be to our loved ones on the other side! They reach out to comfort us and we dismiss it as coincidence.
When Paul and I were falling in love, he gave me a beautiful silver necklace and matching earrings with a jade moon and star pendant. The necklace pendant and each earring featured a crescent moon with a star in the middle of the crescent. He told me that he was the moon and I was his shining star. This became the symbol of our love, and I wore the necklace every day. Many times during our relationship he whispered to me, “You’re my shining star.”
Three days after his death on July 13, we held an outdoor memorial service in our backyard. It was a clear beautiful summer evening in the mountains. A group of about thirty friends sat in a large circle, sharing Paul stories.
In the middle of this heartfelt evening, a friend nudged me to look up at the sky. Directly above us was the crescent moon with a bright star (Jupiter) in the middle of the crescent— exactly reflecting the image in the pendant Paul had given me, which I was wearing that evening. I shared this uncanny sign with our friends and passed around my necklace for everyone to see. The pendant was duplicated in the sky above our heads.
