My Son committed suicide 14 months ago. Two months ago I had very vivid dream, My son was standing in front of his house , and was intensely looking at me, His face was rather sad but his eyes were so attentive, hi said no word . On the background I heard loud voice telling about judgment and distinctly remember that hi said no suicide one day and repeated a few times. I couldn’t understand as I knew that my son died. Although I was somehow happy .
I still don’t understand why this loud voice was telling me no suicide in one day ? Appreciate any (name removed by moderator)ut.
 
My father passed away 2 years ago. Around 6 months ago I was in a shopping centre sitting on a bench. I felt someone staring at me. I looked up and a man was staring at me. He had my dads face , only it was fuller and looked like he did before he got sick . I stared back at him. Although I guess a normal reaction would be to approach the man , I didnt. We looked at each other for a while and he walked away. No words were spoken . I had been thinking about my dad a lot before this and questioning my beliefs . I hope this was a sign for me to keep believing . I have thought of the possibility of it being an evil spirit . But I didnt try contact him, he just came to me . Is it possible for god to send him to help me in my beliefs and also to comfort me over the death of my father.
 
I’ve mentioned ad infinitum the night my father died, he appeared in my room. We talked, and it was very down to earth. At the end he gave this terrifying scream and disappeared. And it wasn’t a dream - I don’t remember dreams. Yet to this day I can remember him “materialising” near the door, the way he seemed to float around the foot of the bed, the way he was directly over me at one time, the way I could look both at him and through him at a bookcase against the far wall, and much of what we said, and in particular the terrible departing scream. I don’t remember dreams, full stop.

Incidentally ghosts do exist. Christ Himself implied that they do when the disciples took fright when they saw him walking on the water, and thought they were seeing a ghost. He reassured them that it was He, and not a ghost.

I also think deceased ones can visit us, but despite my own experiences, I remain wary of such visits. Demons can emulate to a hair.

And I mean, I think we’re going to be embarassed when we find out just how much we’ve been observed by others viz.

Hebrews 12:1 (NIV)
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,

They’re around us all the time. Which could make for some embarassing moments at our judgement, when its our turn. The only thing we’ll have going for us is that most of them were probably just as fallible.

If it is of God and you are meant to understand, then you can be sure you will some day. It will just come to you. I’m very sorry about your son.
 
To michalina and lifelessons,

sometimes deceased ones come to comfort us; sometimes we experience dreams or visits because they are asking for help.

The greatest help we can give to loved ones is to ask the priest to celebrate a Holy Mass for the repose of their souls. In addition to the Holy Mass, we can do a “work” to obtain a plenary indulgence (that is, release from Purgatory) for a deceased loved one. To obtain a plenary indulgence, one must make a good sacramental confession, attend Holy Mass and take Communion, in addition say a prayer (for example, Our Father, or the Creed - I usually say one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and Glory Be) for the intentions of the Pope, and do an act of “work”. This act of work may consist of either 1. Adoration of the Eucharist for half an hour; 2. prayerfully reading the Bible for half an hour; 3. making the Stations of the Cross; 4. praying 5 decades of the Rosary, loudly, either in a church group or at home in a family group (by group we mean at least 2 people).

I have some stories of my own, and stories about things that happened to my mother. Every time, I ran to do something for the souls of these loved ones - either had a Holy Mass celebrated, or did this procedure for obtaining a plenary (or at least partial) indulgence. It should be mentioned that if I’m not totally free from attachment to all sin, even less serious venial sins, I can’t obtain a plenary indulgence. However, God will still grant a partial indulgence to the soul in whose behalf I’m interceding.

Thanks . Yes, I feel almost certain seeing my dad was to comfort me. It was a time of great emotional upheaval and I was extremely distressed over family issues. The only thing it did was strengthen my faith.

One year after my son committed suicide I had very vivid dream. I would never forget. My son was standing in front of his house dressed in dark grayish cloth, He was looking at me so intensely like he would want to know me, just looking straight at me . I did hear a loud voice on the background but had not seen anyone telling me, no suicide one day . repeated a few times. and I had not seen myself , just my son and loud voice. I woke up happy. even though I couldn’t understand what this loud male voice was telling me.To this day I do believe that Jesus have give permission to my son to visit me. , to give me a comfort .

I know this thread is kinda old, but I was browsing online for information on a dream that I had. It was a few weeks before my sister’s attempt at suicide, and my first boyfriend visited me in my dream. We were very much in love, and he died in a car accident after our last date.
In my dream, he was full of life and enegry. He seemed very happy, and said he gets to be an actor now (He had dreams of becoming an actor after getting out of the military.) He also said that he didn’t understand why us (the living) were so sad and depressed all the time. He said if anyone should be depressed, it should be him. He said he doesn’t get to pick and choose his visits, when, or how often, (or we’d be seeing each other a lot more often.) He said he really doesn’t get any choices, but it’s ok with him. Also he knows about the other guys I’ve been seeing since his passing. He understands;) In light of the circumstances (he being dead and all…) Its best that we don’t see each other anymore. Is he stuck in purgatory or something?

It may be, or it may just be in your mind.

Last week I had a dream . My son who died appeared to me for a brief moment . The room he and I was was bright white. I asked him if he wants to come back to States as he died in foreign country but he said no, he said he is needed here.Than I looked through the window and did see ocean down below the house . The water was just white and looked like it was dry. And than I woke up. Was that my son who appeared to me and why everything was so white. ?

First, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your son.

Second, I think you should start praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for your son, and for the Holy Spirit to guide you in understanding these dreams.

While G_D in His mercy does allow for relatives to comfort us, you can’t assume every dream with your son is actually your son attempting to communicate with you. That is the path to spiritualism, which is forbidden both in Scripture and in the Church.
 
Thank you for your words of sympathy and I will follow your advise. God Bless You.
I love my Son to eternity, Mother
 
Hello,I think and hope that you not loose any of your children otherwise your respond would be not so hard on mother in deep grief and I do know that Holy Spirit let my Son to visit me.and my deep prayers will let my son to visit me again as I do know that first time that was a real vision of my son and Holy Spirit was talking to me . !Amen
 
My wife passed in 1985 at the age of 28. She fought a four year battle with bone cancer.
But anyways when I dream of her, which has been less than five times since then, she appears and says nothing to very little. But I feel very secure and unafraid and nothing can hurt me physically or mentally. Just a very peaceful feeling something I never experienced before. I equate the feeling of just a small sample of what heaven is like.

Yes, our love ones are contacting us . I do not understand why catholic hierarchy would not research that more. it is real.My son committed suicide and catholic priest refused as he was paid blessing of his grave… He asked me why he committed suicide ? I would never had answer. I do know that he was a good son and was taking care of his dying father… I am grieving mother and never lost my faith but I lost faith in our priest. WHY ?.I send letter to Archdiocese in Detroit but they just avoiding me, I want someone to blessed my son grave. That is it. Yes, my son contacted me in my dreams and gave me signs. It is truth and only truth . Wonder if my respond will be placed at al. May Merciful God give you peace.!
