I Was Grieving and Searching for a Sign—Then My Late Mother Helped Me in the Sweetest Way
Kim Bender was missing her mother, but received several signs that brought her comfort
Last year, my mother passed away. My husband and I had purchased a home in Iowa a few months before her passing and I had hoped to keep some of Mom’s things and set them up exactly as she had them in her home.
I set about packing for the move. But I felt guilty because I had not bothered to purchase proper packing supplies to wrap my great grandmother’s crystal. I knew that my mom, grandmother and great-grandmother were probably disappointed in me. I asked for their forgiveness and guidance.
Suddenly, I felt the need to take a break from my packing duties and I found myself in the garage looking through bins of Mom’s handmade silk flowers. I still had plenty of packing to do, and I kept telling myself to put things away and get back to the task at hand. But something in my head told me to look at one more box.
The bins were all labeled with their contents, but there was one unlabeled cardboard box. When I opened it, I was shocked to find packing paper and bubble wrap!
“Thank you for leading me to it, Mom,” I whispered.
I went inside and rewrapped all the crystal the way it deserved to be wrapped. And it all made the move safely.
It has only been six months since her passing, and already she has helped me several times. I also needed to find the perfect home for Riki, her 5-pound Yorkie. They were inseparable, and I had been so worried about it that I was having trouble sleeping.
One day, I got a phone call from a very close friend of Mom’s who said they would love to welcome Riki into their home. It brought me to tears. I know this is what she would have wanted for him, and that it allows me to stay in contact with them and get updates on Riki.
I have no doubt that Mom has been very busy setting things in motion to help me through this difficult time.
