    Some people will say what you experienced was a coincidence that just happened by chance. Others will say it was synchronicity, the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no causal connection that can be determined. Synchronicity implies a oneness in the universe with everything being connected on some level. These types of experiences are really more common than many realize, especially when people are observant and open to having them. What matters is how you interpret your experiences and what lessons you learn from them.

    Hi Frances,
    Here is an experience I can share that's not really about seeing dead people but is about an experience I have had.
    I never met my bio father, and when I tried to contact him he was dead. Heartbreaking for me. Anyway, in 1993, I became very spiritual and was going to purchase a cross, but a voice kept telling me no, you will receive a very special cross. Next thing I know my mother finds a cross necklace that my father had given her when they were dating. She calls me and tells me she is going to send it to me and I about faint. It couldn't have been more special!!!!!
    So what do you think about that? I have more that has happened but I'll wait for a reply first.

    Diana, you have brought up a topic that many find fascinating. One of the first posts on this website dealt with spirit sightings of hospice patients. I remember it because I wrote it. You might want to read it and view the comments and brief video that are included with that post:

    By the way, have you had any experiences that you would like to share?
