Is there anything wrong with seeing a connection between one's deceased loved one

and something like the Blue Jay or the butterfly that flew by or whatever the thing is?

And I would again ultimately say at the end of the day

I'm my name is Father Mike Schmitz and this is essential presents. I'll talk to people who have lost a loved one.

So someone that they love has died right and and they will point to certain things that have happened in their lives after that person has died

as signs from the deceased person to them that they're okay.

And I've had people ask me more and more, like, is that okay?

So here's, like, for myself, you know, about a year and a half ago, my mom died.

And so, should I be looking for those kind of signs

that would let me know, hey, you don't have to worry she's okay.

Man, in the last month or so, I've been into position myself for now when it comes to grief of losing

someone, but when it comes to like some health things, I know that's those prayer of desperation, that prayer of just like oh my gosh I'd be

willing to do anything I would do anything to take this pain away I'd be doing anything

to fix this thing similarly I can imagine that experience of grief that just is so

overwhelming that you would say I would do anything like it just

give me some kind of sign some kind of indication that you're okay some kind of

indication that this is not the end so I kind of have at least a glimmer, a glimpse of an understanding of that

heart of desperation, right? That desperate broken heart that just wants to find in whatever, some kind of sign that the person I love is okay.

So the question has come back, is that okay? Can I do that? Are these signs genuine? Are these signs real?

I would say a couple things. Number one, I would say that

and to a certain degree there's nothing wrong with seeing in something a particular kind of

sign.
