Today I'm back on the theme of how white feathers comfort the bereaved. This is Emma Dudley's experience - thank you Emma.
"I lost my nan suddenly in November of 2011, and have had many encounters of white feather prior to her death as well as after, but tonight was the most poignant of all showings.
I was sat in my bed in the dark watching television, when I saw something slowly drifting downwards in front of the screen, I got up to catch it and turned the light on to have a better look, and it was a white feather.
I must add, I do not open the windows in my room, as I don't like spiders, and have no feathers in quilting, pillows or anything else in my room. I placed the feather on my dressing table and went to tuck my son into bed. When I returned the feather was gone.
Some might say they are sceptical, but I had an experience several years ago when I was seriously ill in hospital with meningcoccul meningitis.
I was visited by a relative that had passed over several years before, and she stood watching over me for several hours. After she faded I began to improve, and am here to tell the tale today.
So I do truly believe there is someone or something to watch over each and everyone of us, and once in a while they let us know they are there to comfort us."

As I have said previously I get more emails and contact about white feathers than anything else I have written, including coincidences. All I can really add is that it does happen, regardless of what many sceptics may think.

Another interesting example of white feather connections. I like these sort of stories, Mike.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful story. I feel that white feathers are an archetype of spirit communication. Maybe that's always been true, but the internet has facilitated the flow of information so we hear about it more now.
ReplyDeleteHave you thought about writing a book on the white feather experience Mike?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of interest is there and it may provide some comforting stories to readers.
Darren: Thanks for the idea of a book on white feathers. Will give it some thought.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your posts on white feathers and though I have never experienced this myself I have had similar things happen to me after my wife died recently after an illness.
ReplyDeleteI live near the sea on the east coast of England and at this time of year there aren't too many people about on the beaches. I was walking along the soft sand as the tide was going out. Feeling emotional and thinking of my wife I wrote her name in the sand in big letters.
I slowly walked away and back to the road where I immediately saw a silver heart pendent on the pavement. That day would have been our silver wedding anniversary.
One of the songs from 1987 he year we were married was I've Had the Time of My Life and my wife would sing this to me. When I got back to my car and switched on the engine the radio also came on. The words I heard were, 'I've had the time of my life and I owe it all to you.'
These two things meant so much to me and it was as if my wife was still near me.
That night our daughter came round to make sure I was okay and I told her what had happened. She gave me an anniversary card that her mother had told her to buy for me. My wife was in hospital at the time but had written inside: Thank you for giving me the time of my life. All my love forever. There was a silver heart in the front of the card.
That's all I can write.
