I come back to this video all the time because my brother passed at the age of 18 on July 4, 2013. The next day, this video was posted. If that's not a sign, then I don't know what could be. It has been two years now and it feels like two days. I really miss my brother. Thank you Ryan.
Hey Ryan I'm only 10 but I know that your mum would be proud of how far you've come, she really would be. Shes with you Ryan And I know I'm saying that she would be proud but I'm Wrong she IS proud whilst your reading this comment think of her, she's always thinking of you Ryan. Thank You
my aunt passed away about two or three months ago and the next night a cat comes up to me outside jumps on to my lap and sits there looking at me it finally sat down and took a nap on my lap so I picked it up set it down got some cat food and gave it to her that night my mom said she would think about letting us keep it she left to go see my grandma and I started crying thinking what if we don't keep it but I never did that about an animal that came to my door I kept thinking its my aunt shes my pet now my dogs and her always sit next to me and let me cry on them when I need it I love them also one of my dogs were born on my birthday she is 10 years old like me and she is still alive I love her like shes part of me
There's this cat in my street that follows me everywhere I go and is really sweet, I thought it was my grandma, but at the same time I sometimes think I see my grandma and grandpa but they don't live anymore and it's kinda scary but peaceful
I just cried. I definitely understand where you're coming from though, its not at all weird. My Nana, who I was particularly close with even though I rarely saw her because she lived in London and i live the other side of the UK, died in August 2006 and I was devastated. When she died, I was given a beautiful pair of earrings that had belonged to her and I disinfected them and wore them every day for 6 years until one of them fell out of my ear and went missing and I was so upset by this not because the earring was irreplaceable but because wearing the earrings made me feel like she was still with me and if i couldn't wear them anymore she was gone. I cried over the earrings every time someone mentioned them for about a week after the earring fell out and went missing
hi Ryan my name is Justin and I love your videos and I was just saying that I lost my mom when I was 11 12 and its really hard because I can't see her anymore and anything and she moved with my step dad and it was hard and I cannot release year and now I live with my dad and my dog and my mom my dad lost his mom when he was 14 so my whole family knows what's going on elvish chillest video to my dad when he comes home so he can understand that as well and I'm sorry for your loss as well
Ryan, I know this video is old, but I just wanted to say I know how you feel. I lost my mom when I was four years old, and I hardly remember her, but somehow, some way, i feel her presence. i always feel like she's watching me, motivating me to keep going in hard times. I miss her so much. Stay strong, Ryan.
My grandma passed away when I was only 10, and I kept seeing lilacs in my backyard every spring since then. Finally, last spring I realized, hey. Maybe God is telling me something. Maybe he's telling me that my grandma is happier in heaven with him.
This is beautiful. My mom passed away when I was 15, and I've always believed in the strange, the spooky whatever you want to call it. I also shared that belief with my mom. Ever since she passed I've wanted so bad to see her, hear her voice something. I wanted this to happen so bad and I kept coming up hopeless. I got to the point there I just stopped trying. When I finally stopped trying is when something happened. I was driving home from work on her birthday a few years ago when one of her favorite songs Fancy by Reba came on the radio. One that we used to sing together all the time. The strange thing was that the station I was listening to was not a county station, and it did not play county music. The song just came on out of no where and when the DJ came on after the song was over he didn't even talk about it after it happened. As it was happening I bawled my eyes out. I had to pull over and just take everything in, and after the song was over it was like she gave me a pat on the back letting me know that she will always be there. You so not sound crazy Ryan. You just had a special moment with your mom that only you and her will share forever. Just like it did with my mom.
My cat passed away this february, I know it's not the same as a person, but I got super down... I loved her and she only was 5years old when she died... And just a few weeks after her passing suddenly a homeless cat appeared in our garden, never seen this cat before but I started to believe that my cat somehow sent me this homeless cat... I know it sounds stupid but even tho I can't keep this cat only seeing it every day helped me kinda
I totally feel like your mom came to you in that form of the rabbit (not like reincarnation) but yea to tell you she's there! When we see ladybugs we think of my grandma. When we see a cardinal we think of my grandpa and when we see dragonfly a we think of my uncle all because they loved those things. I wonder if your mom loved rabbits?
Ryan, That's crazy because when me and my whole family was in the backyard grilling my mom lost her father like 5 years ago. so he would be my grandpa there was this orange and black butterfly flying around us and it wouldn't go away for hours and it kept coming back for days and my mom said that's probably your grandma saying hello and I was like your crazy but after seeing it come over and over and not flying away I realized shes probably right :) Keep up the great vids ryan
My dad passed in may 2012 and I got that "sense of peace. that they're with me somehow" when I watched the music video for Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. It had been so long since I heard that song and the man in the video looked so much like my dad. I felt like it was him saying it. The lyrics.. it was just really emotional and stuff. That was my feeling. It's weird but that's that.
I know it's not the same as losing a person but I will never forget the time I lost my dog, Jack. I was sitting outside crying and angry when a little dragonfly came and landed on my leg. Normally I would probably spaz out since I'm not a huge fan of bugs, but this was somehow different, it just sat there for quite a while, it was like it knew I needed comfort. Thank you for this video, I think more people than you know can resonate with it.
This video brought me to tears. But i can relate. My uncle died about a year ago and for his 1 year memorial i lit up chinese lanterns and let them go into the night. The next day i got a call from my aunt saying that a chinese lantern had somehow landed in her yard that morning. I went to her house as soon as i could and i realized that it was the same lantern that i had lit the night before. Honestly, people thought i wa crazy. But i knew that that was my uncle saying that he was still here.
MY great grandmother passed a few months ago. She lived in another country, so i only saw her when i visited, but she always had a picture on my and my sister when we were little in her purse. She was the first person from my family that i lost. I was devastated. But the day after i found out, I was driving to school, and when i got out of the car, this street cat (There are a lot of them here) came to me, and sat right in front of me. for 2 minutes it did nothing. And i knew it meant something.

I think you are so great and such a beautiful soul. This is seriously one of the best and most relatable videos I have ever watched. In one week it will have been a year since I lost my Grandfather. I think you have to have lost someone to understand this, but I totally know what you mean. Anytime I'm in one of his favorite places or if I'm really missing him I see a white butterfly. Sometimes it will come up and fly around me. It stops me in my tracks. Thank you for this, I love you.
My Uncle Was A Police Officer And A Fireman He Passed Away In June In The Line Of Duty And Law Enforcement Funerals Are Huge. It Was At The Football Field In A Small Town Pop. of 1300 There Was Over 250 Police Officers&Firemen. There Was Flags Everywhere. When The Family Was Going UpTo The Casket To Give Their Last Words And The Wind Blew Harder Than It Had All Weekend And There Was One Flag That Barely Moved At All And That Was My Sign That He Was Still There Watching Us.
my grandma gave me ladybug earrings for my 6th bday & I wore them throughout my childhood. she was a huge part of my life & when she passed away, I felt completely lost. the day after she was buried, I went to take shower & was surrounded by like 20 ladybugs. at that moment, I knew that my grandma may have left this world, but would always be with me. that was 10 yrs ago & ladybugs still make me smile. and I still have the earrings, but my daughter wears them:-)
The same thing sorta happened to me. My grandma died in 2002 and my dad was super depressed and so was I because I barely knew her and she was a great woman and didn't deserve to die. So in about 2007, I got a dog named Grace for Christmas. I didn't realize it was my grandma until she got attacked in January. She survived and is doing amazing today, but that traumatizing experience made me realized: My Grandma, Alice, Was Really MyBest Friend, Grace, In Disguise. Thanks for helping me realize it
when my grandma passes away I was living in another country so I flew out to my hometown to go to her funeral and as I was in the airplane I was remembering her then I turned my sight to the airplane window and there was a bird and well birds are not usually seen in airplanes and then I saw a pink trail a long the sky and I felt peace it was a really amazing feeling. I was small and I had no clue what this meant so I turned to my mom and asked her what this was and she said "It's your grandma"
A while after my dad died I didn't really notice anything like this. But one day I was walking and there was a kitten behind me. I didn't think anything like this. So I tried to leave it behind but it kept following me. I decided to just take it home. The first thing it did when it got home was sit in the chair my dad always sat in. It felt weird, but peaceful. I still have this cat of course it's almost grown now. It still sleeps in my dads chair. I honestly feel like it's my dad.
Last year my grandfather passed away from cancer. I sat outside at my grandma's house, a couple weeks after he had passed. I looked around and a squirrel with no tail sat on the fence, looking at me. I was very confused and wondered "why doesn't it have a tail?" then I remembered my grandfather lost his finger when he was in his early 20's. The squirrel stayed for a few weeks, then suddenly, it was gone. It used to sit on my grandma's porch and watch her. I like to believe that was grandfather.
My papa always had a thing for butterflies.. And when he died and my mom visited his grave for the first time a yellow butterfly landed right on his stone. At the same moment my mom was on the phone with my aunt and my mom mentioned the butterfly on his stone. In that same moment my aunt told my mom a yellow butterfly was circling around her. I really believe in my heart that was my papa. May your mother RIP Ryan. God bless. X
I lost my brother in Afghanistan on may 16th of this year. He was one of a few who were killed in the car bomb. The only thing that was left of him on his body was a Livestrong Bracelet. He messaged me on Facebook on February 1st of this year saying that he would see me in 5 months because he had a baby on the way, who is a healthy baby boy named after his father. I was scrolling through my feed on Instagram and saw a livestrong bracelet on there. Thank you very much. I love ya!
i know how it feels to loose someone.... i lost my dad and grandma and great grandma 3 years ago and your story was so inspiring to me!! :.) and i had to open my eyes because my dog now came to me and stayed at my front door! and would not leave so my mom feed him.... sooner or later we finally adopted him it was like as if my dad was trying to protect me and his way of saying hi! you had a very inspiring story to me!! i know what it feels like!
im sorry for your loss :) i cant say i know how u feel exactly, on feb 19th 2013 my grandfather died everyone was crying & so upset but to this day i havnt cried once for him or even felt remotely sad the only reason i've cried was because i was angry at myself i dont understand whats wrong with me why dont i feel anything.. i loved him more then anything he was like a dad to me but still i feel nothing i havnt seen anything like u've mentioned or anyone else has.. i just dont understand it
I know how you feel. I had to help take care of my Grand father who only spoke Spanish and me only English. he was with us for a little over three years and he had a heart attach on new years eve when he went to take a leak. we found he after hearing a crash in the bathroom. I gave him CPR and got a pulse. he later went into a coma because a student nurse stopped squeezing his air bag to help him breath for five minutes when they were taking him to get an MRI. later he passed on.
After we buried him with my Grand mother long passed, and came back home, I was home alone a few months later which was a week after I buried my chow chow that loved my Grand father and would walk with him everywhere. I was home alone when I saw him and my chow coming from his room down at the end of the hall she was walking in front of him looking back at him. he went into the bathroom turned on the light she was waiting for him then he flushed walked out waved and went to his room with her.
I cried because I realized how blind sided I was when my grandpa died. It wasn't a rabbit but weirdly a lady bug when I was reading a book landed on it and I swished it away. Like two pages later another came I stopped reading and left and I kept it all in and I just gave up and honestly if I could I wouldn't of never swished it away god I can't breath I'm favoriting this video thanks you really helped me. Love you and for the army stay strong :D
I had the same thing happend last week..I lost my grandma a few weeks ago..and..she loved rabits...and just last week..for 3 days straight everytime I went into my back yard..the rabite was just sitting there.and each day it got closer then the 3rd day.it just sat beside me on my deck stairs.I sudenly clued in this was my grandma tryin to be close to me..i put my hand near the bunny and it like nudged my hand and I could see it had this little smile..this story really connects me to ryan,thanks.
My 6 month old cousin died a couple weeks ago. My aunt kept telling me she was seeing this amazing baby bird everywhere she went. Then my other aunt came into the conversation astounded because she had seen one too and one got into her house as well but it was so peaceful. The next day she got a call from her friend who was a median and told her that my cousin was the sign of a bird. We knows she's still with us now.
All these people are saying they're inspirational or that they've cried, but I don't see any saying that they understand. I am so familiar with that feeling of piece when you look at something you've never noticed before. People always ask me how I come to terms with deaths so easily. It's not because I'm heartless, it's because I know this feeling and it's cool to know I'm not the only one.
Hi Ryan I kno u probably won't read this but oh well it was December 18, 2010 that was the night at 6:11 pm that my grandmother died the family as well as I were there they pulled the plug and I watched her take her last breath I never thought I would experience another humans death .that night on the way home the car was silent my dad had already lost his father and now he had Lost his mother he said "I'm an orphan now " to my mom since then I have seen the same gold star every night .
Almost 3 years ago, my uncle died from cancer. I didn't believe that he was gone either. A couple days after he past away, a butterfly let me hold it. And that same butterfly followed me everywhere i went. I,thought that is a weird butterfly. But then I relized, it was my uncle. He was protecting me and watching me. I'm so,glad that I'm not the only one who has felt this way about just a simple thing.
Like a wild animal doesn't just let you hold him now do they? But this one did and my dad and mom truly believed it was my dads brother, as my dad was holding him the eagle continued to stare, and my dad did as well, and the eagle just flew away, everything about it was peaceful my dad said, and he also believed it was his was of saying hello im still here! Anyways ryan you're not crazy, I believe many people went through the same thing but are afraid like you said to tell anyone.
My dad lived on a reserve most of his life and he had a best friend, more like a brother. One day my dads brother was walking across the road and got hit by a car, and then another one right after, he died on impact. So my dad grew up this man since he was started elementary, then all of the sudden he was gone,physically but not spiritually. My dad saw this bald eagle standing in the middle of the road not moving, but staring. So he decided to walk towards its and try picking it up. And he did.
I lost my uncle 2 years ago, and to this day I wish he was still alive. He taught me so much, most importantly how to play Scrabble like a boss. He owned a house painting business so naturally he had a van with ladders on top. And whenever I see a painting van, I look and see if the driver is my uncle. It never is obviously, but that moment when I look, it gives me that same peace that you were talking about. The van's give me hopefulness that he is watching out for me until we meet again.
awhhhh, Ryan. this made me cry so hard and the fact that you were tearing up, i wanted to cry more. Ryan, i love you so so so so so so so much more than i already do because you spoke to my heart, even though i haven't had a recent loss, you still taught me to open up my eyes, look around, and try to find that peace whenever i need to. you don't need to make these jokes in these kinds of videos because it may not be what satisfies us, even though it still does. i don't and won't think you're cr
i got a little emotional when i watched this because this happened to me as well. i was in my backyard and i don't really go outside that much..but for some reason i decided to go out because i felt so lonely and depressed after my uncle passed away. and a butterfly came and sat on my shoulder. i didn't notice it at first, but it flew in front of me and i caught it. usually they're pretty scared and would fly away. but this particular butterfly just stayed for 5 min. and in those 5 min.,
A similar thing happened to my cousins. My one cousin passed away and there is never usually any swans in the water that is near their house but my aunt,uncle, and cousins were talking to a medium and in that moment a swan came over, and the medium said that was a sign. Well my aunt, uncle and cousins never saw that swan or any other swans again until the anniversary of my cousins death. Pretty weird stuff.
Ryan , I can relate to your feelings so much. I lost my dad 7 years ago, and i start seeing the signs of him being with me occasionally almost everywhere. In the fly of the butterfly in coldest day possible. It is not even make seance to anyone except me. I feel exactly the same. We are lucky to have such a special bond. not everyone can feel this or even think about it. May God bless your Mom.
This made me try. Thank you for saying this. I lost a few family members in the past... One was my grandfather and me and my family moved in with my grandmother to keep her company and I always saw the same bird sitting at the window. I felt a sense of peace, just like you did. Right now 3 people close to me are lost at sea. I hope that I won't feel that peace, because I hope they are still alive. Thank you Ryan. You are an amazing person.
I love these serious videos. And this one was just so touching and truthful. About three or four years ago my great grands died. I wasn't seriously close to him but he meant so much to me. Every time I see a cardinal I think of him and hope that it is him. I miss him so much! I am so sorry that you had to go through such a loss. You are so strong. And don't be afraid to make these serious videos more often. Thanks Ryan.
OMG, its been little over 2 months since I moved into this new place and there's this crow that follows me around on my street, it never goes beyond the street. It freaked me out the first few times it happened, but now i feel weird if i don't see him when i go outside the house. I haven't lost a loved one, i don't know why he follows me.. i haven't seen him follow anyone else, there's no explanation
my best friend died 2 years ago yesterday her mom was killed too. a drunk driver as driving the wrong way on the highway and hit them dead on.. I know this sounds like im a horrible American but Im not I promise, but I really ever since then I haven't enjoyed the 4th of july. and a couple of months ago her dad was killed by a guy that ran a red light and all that there is left of that family is her two brothers and one of her brothers just had a kid...... I miss her terribly. I cry every night.
One time I was in a store with my mom getting ornaments for Christmas and my mom found one that said "Papa loves you" (Papa being what her and her siblings called their dad" we carried it around but my mom decided against buying it so she put it back we went to the bathroom and there was the papa loves you ornament right by the bathroom. We thought it was strange but we picked it up and put it on the shelf and continued shopping when we turned back it was on the floor again.Thanks for this video
I keep watching this over and over again. Each time I watch it I cry even harder. This video reminded me that the people close to you aren't guaranteed to be around forever. You need to enjoy every moment with them. Back in December I lost a really close friend of mine. Almost everyday I cry for her and her family. I miss her a lot and because of her loss I always make sure I make the most of everyday and tell everyone much I love them and how much they mean to me. Thanks Ryan. ♥
You know, Ryan. The Chinese believe that when a person whose dear & close to us died and we see an animal or an insect(any living thing) flew into the room/house and stay for a long time then disappear or just close to us. We believe that's the spirit of the one we loved. They come back to see if we're doing good or to watch over us, protect us. I don't believe back then but your video helps me to believe it now. & I guess this has nth to do with a single race but to all humanity. :)
My papa was 50 mom in her late 20s. Her sister was pregnant she came up for the week and flew back home. My aunt the pregnant one gets a call from my mom Karen u need to come back home. Y she says. My moms say...we have a funeral to plan. Silence. He worked his ass of for 20 years got nothing but a heart attack in return. Never new he would have another grandchild. Never say his daughter pregnant never new also. I'm 11 years old and think y but we have to move on. Something good will come.
Great story Ryan, im glad you found peace :) most ppl dont accept it and actualy go crazy or fall into depression. I actualy lost my uncle a few years ago cuz of cancer and im still struggling to let go, if i ever talk about it or hear about it i end up crying, im still trying to let go but its really not easy when you lose some1 in ur family that never treated you any different from any1 else in the family, i dont have many of those, i guess you can say im sort of like the black sheep..
wow Ryan you are so right... when my grandma passed away a hummingbird perched right next to my mom and the day after the hummingbird went into the shop were all the guys are... when my grandpa passed away a cardinal fell by my mom and was basically everywhere she went and now after all this happened I know that is grandma and grandpa just coming by to check on us all... thanks for that story :')
I lost my little brother 6 years ago and i had almost the same experience. After he died i would just break down and cry. But when i did cry it didn't feel like i was crying normally. Every time i cried it felt like someone was there with me. At first i was like (this is only happening because he just died. Kind of how you did when you first saw the bunny.) But the third time i broke down i realized my brother was trying to reach out to me. So seeing your video helped me realize it was my bro.
The same thing kinda of happened to me. my great grandma died almost 2 months ago and a week after she passed away I was in my bathroom looking at myself in the mirror and i looked out the window and the sky was completely pink, and that was her favourite color, and I somehow knew she was telling me that she was there so I said "hi grandma" and the trees around it shook, and now whenever the sky is pink, I always say hi and there is always something that moves whether it is wind or a flower.
This has happend to me so many times. On the day my aunt was dying my sister would not stop crying. My sister was 4 and my aunt was on the other side of the world. Before my grandpa died a white bird followed my dad around like no tomorrow and when ever i feel worthless and down 2 white butterflies always come near me and rest on a plant by me and i know that it is my aunt and grandpa
I cried my eyes out... its weird that you say that because my great grandmother died before I was born and my grandma says her spirit would be a monarch butterfly (because she loved them) and at the park the other day there was this monarch butterfly that I kept seeing fluttering around me and my birthday was like 2&1/2 weeks ago.. so yea I said hi to a butterfly... and I think it was her wishing me a happy birthday :,) ... I hope it was at least
A year ago on April 16th my grandmother passed away. I was heart broken. My aunt, from the other side of my family, attended my grandmothers funeral to pay her respects. Less then 3 months later in July she, my aunt, passed away. It has been a rough year to say the least and I can certainly relate to what you mean. I don't think you're crazy nor do I think I am since I have my own interesting story. Faith and hope is what keeps us going.
I had a similar thing happen to me. My dad died about two years ago, and I remember I went to the cemetery the first year anniversary of his death, and there was this dog... and he was following me around the cemetery and then he takes this stick and drops it at my feet and I was like okay. I'll play along, so I threw it away from him and he ran after it and came back. He did it a good couple of times. When I came across the dog, he was sitting on the side where my dad was buried.
Same type of thing happened to my mom! In 2009 when my Grandma died a few days later or whatever my mom said she was coming out of their house and she was standing on the front step and stuff when a few birds sat down on a wire and there was this one really pretty bright blue bird and it was staring at my mom and then went and landed on her car antenna and then up by her and then it flew away, my mom believe it was her mom. :) I believe her.
My best friend killed herself 4 years ago and I was seeing her everywhere, I felt she was there with me every single moment and that scared me a lot. I too believe in reincarnation. I don't know if it's real or not, I don't care, maybe it's just our brain denying the loss. Your story was so personal and sincere. I thank you for sharing that with us! God bless you!
My dad past away two days ago and Ive felt that peaceful fealing an I just want to say thanks for this you made me open up my eyes and see the world in a positive way and that things are goinh to be okay, beacause like that nurse said..I'll see him again. Thanks.
he made me realize something, my dog is my grandmom and then when I went on vacation to the dead middle of New York no where near water a seagull followed me around for a whole day where ever I went, thank you ryan for letting me know that my grandmom because the past year has been shit with out her and now I feel a little better
I'm crying right now. I had a very similar situation happen to me with a stray cat a week after my grandpa died. We were so close before he died and I was devastated when he passed. I told my brother what happened and he did think I was crazy. He thought I was mocking him and no one believed me. But I know what happened and I will always remember it.
This is so inspirational and i can totally relate. Looking at u Ryan while u spoke, i saw in your eyes how much that really meant to you and my heart sank. I immediately started thinking of my late grandfather and i felt like crying. I love you Ryan, you speak truth and that's one thing i really respect. ♥
same with my uncle clem be there was the a couple of cats living out side that I feed and they wouldn't dare come to me but the day he died I went to feed the cats and his fav cats that was the dad he came sat right beside me and I felt a vibe for the cat and it was the same vibe I would get form my uncle clem R.I.P
I just want to say, thank you. My aunt recently passes away and I still cannot believe she is actually gone. My cousin just told me the other day that a similar thing happened to her while she is sitting on e beach but it was with a ladybug. This video made me resize that my aunt may not be here in person but she is always with us. Thank you do much!!!
My great grandma died a few years ago. The day after I went out on the porch and saw a yellow butterfly. I had never seen a butterfly in the porch. Then my grandma went out side. She saw it. My grandpa saw it. Then we started to get it. Every time we went outside we would see that yellow butterfly. And every time you go outside on the porch, it says hello. Every time.
My dad died over a year and a half ago and today is 21 months. I don't even know how I found this video, but I wanted to say thank you. I turned to writing after he passed and sometimes I would sit there and I'd feel like he was right behind me, just watching me. Maybe I wasn't as crazy as I thought I was.
that was so good I cried because I had the exact same thing when my dog died...when he died the next couple of days after he passed there was a rabbit that would always hang out in our front yard, the rabbit was the exact same color that my dog was, black and brown. so when you were telling this I believed every word you said
Thank you, Im 19 and I lost my this march and I've never really told anyone this because I was afraid people would think I was being weird, but every day around 12:15pm a white butterfly passes through our kitchen window, and I always feel a sense of peace. This made me cry because I thought I was the only person who felt like this. Thanks Ryan.
Thanks so much! I was like crying last week bc I lost my aunt. & she was like really close to me. She did lots of shi!t for me like it was really cool. & the same thing happened to me! Except it was a frog. It followed me everywhere & like broke into my house and sh!t but you made me realize what it meant. Thanku;)
my grandma died before i was born and my mom was 16 when she died and one day we went to visit her grave for her birthday then we saw it on her stone grave where the rain stained the stone was gone from its place but it formed a angel kneeling down with prayer hands with large wings and its still there today and that there was a true sign of god
This made me cry. In a good way and things like that happen to me all the time. A red wing black bird ill see every once in a while that's my grandpa. They were his favorite birds. And a dove is my great grandpa i don't really know how that relates to him but that's what my mom tells me. :) sorry for your loss.
Ryan, you're so inspirational and even though I don't know how it feels to lose my mom, I do know what you went through. you've lost one of the best people in your life. There was nothing that could've been done about it. I feel for ya. Let god or whoever it is that you're religiously close to guide you. I love you Ryan, you're like a brother.
My uncle died and my cousin had a imaginary friend named Ronnie my uncles name was Ronnie (my cousin was like 3 at the time and he'd never seen him before) I asked my aunt to take a picture of him out one day because I'd never seen him either. Then my cousin from across the room and grabs the air next to him and says Ronnie that's you.
LOL, dropped her noodles. That part was funny, but the rest was sad yet heartfelt, I think I speak for everyone in the Average Army when I say: Sorry for your loss, hope that the rabbit will always stay around. That story helped a lot. Please like this comment, so that Ryan himself can see it as a top comment.
Thank you ryan so much it means alot and i did think i was crazy but thank you ryan for making this video i really needed this i lost my grandmother 2 months ago and i miss her so much and thank you! I literally cried whenever i saw this video because of the help and truthfully this is the type of advice i needed right now thank you!
i remember when my grandma died and after the funeral, all the kids were in one car to go back to the funeral hone and we saw the most beautiful rainbow. But wen we asked the adults if they saw it, they didn't. I believe that grandma painted that rainbow across the sky for only her grandchildren to see. :,)
I was watching this video and the one you made back in October last night and just crying. I watched this video like 4 times and tears just came every time. I had no idea why I kept coming back to it and then going and finding the one about your mom you made for breast cancer awareness. Today my grandma passed away. I think you're the peace that I found. thank you for that.
Ryan, I lost my mother 6 months ago and I still haven't felt that peace. I think now that I saw your video I will look at things with more of an open mind. Thank you. You've helped me through a lot, and not only with this video. I'm sorry that you lost your mom, I know how that feels. Stay Strong, Ryan. We're here for you
Stop, Ryan omg you're gonna make me cry. When my aunt died, there were thousands of white butterflies surrounding her burial, and now every time I see a white butterfly.. I know that's my aunt just saying hello. You're so right. Opening your eyes can change perspective and make things that seem complex so simple. Have a great week Ry, love you :)
My horse (who was a "loved one" to me) passed on and she was blind in one eye and then the next day our other old horse that my horse was like best friends with went blind in the same eye. I took that as a sign that my horse was still with us an it comforted me And our other horse isn't phased by being blind in that eye by the way. :)
2 days go my cousin was so close to dying she was sleeping while the fan set off a fire her small sister woke her up because her sister kicks the blanket off and the pillows and what happend was the pillows wer standing around the fire like a wall the pillows wasn't leaning on anything . But I'm glad she's alive I said to her that's assign of god or our family
A couple months ago I lost my best friend. No, she wasn't a human she was a cat. She meant so much to me. We were like mother and daughter. Her real mother abandoned her so I took her in. I saw her grow up. She was with me during thick and thin. Whenever I was having a bad day she would cheer me up. I miss her so much. I wish she was here.
My grandma died about this time last year. Then, three days before school started my grandpa died and I missed my first day of school cuz I couldn't stop crying. After that I hav had 1 or or 2 dreams where I get to talk to my grandpa and tell him wats going on. He nods his head and gives his "approval" then I wake up. Last week my cousin died of a brain tumbler
I love you Ryan. And people always say I'm crazy for thinking my neighbor (who past away from lung cancer) he was like a grandpa to me.,, I saw this bird on the window sill of his apartment and even wen I got closer it didn't move it just looked at me and so I thought it was him and everyone else just laughed.... But thankyou...
You're not crazy Ryan! I really appreciate this video...and your story. I was adopted at birth by a single mother. She adopted me in her late 30s and I just turned 18. If I lost her, I'd break down, but I have you as a role model and advice giver, I know things will get better after something like that. So.. Thank you Ryan, Sincerely, Average Army Soldier.
This is so true and touching because a few monthes after my grandpa died of cancer i was playing a softball game and thinking about how i missed having him there when a bright cherry red corvette drive by and he had a bright cherry red corvette and that gave me so much happiness and peace to know he was at that game cheering for me watching me
I come back to this video all the time because my brother passed at the age of 18 on July 4, 2013. The next day, this video was posted. If that's not a sign, then I don't know what could be. It has been two years now and it feels like two days. I really miss my brother. Thank you Ryan.
+Kyla Motley it's a struggle, but I think I've come to accept it.
Hey Ryan I'm only 10 but I know that your mum would be proud of how far you've come, she really would be. Shes with you Ryan And I know I'm saying that she would be proud but I'm Wrong she IS proud whilst your reading this comment think of her, she's always thinking of you Ryan.
Thank You
This video touched my heart💯❤️
same thing
my aunt passed away about two or three months ago and the next night a cat comes up to me outside jumps on to my lap and sits there looking at me it finally sat down and took a nap on my lap so I picked it up set it down got some cat food and gave it to her that night my mom said she would think about letting us keep it she left to go see my grandma and I started crying thinking what if we don't keep it but I never did that about an animal that came to my door I kept thinking its my aunt shes my pet now my dogs and her always sit next to me and let me cry on them when I need it I love them also one of my dogs were born on my birthday she is 10 years old like me and she is still alive I love her like shes part of me
"...when you lose somebody, all you want to do is just have this feeling that they are there still somehow." I love this sentence so much.
u are my reason im awesome to my friends:) make me happy so my friends are happy I would want to thank you for that:)
There's this cat in my street that follows me everywhere I go and is really sweet, I thought it was my grandma, but at the same time I sometimes think I see my grandma and grandpa but they don't live anymore and it's kinda scary but peaceful
I just cried. I definitely understand where you're coming from though, its not at all weird. My Nana, who I was particularly close with even though I rarely saw her because she lived in London and i live the other side of the UK, died in August 2006 and I was devastated. When she died, I was given a beautiful pair of earrings that had belonged to her and I disinfected them and wore them every day for 6 years until one of them fell out of my ear and went missing and I was so upset by this not because the earring was irreplaceable but because wearing the earrings made me feel like she was still with me and if i couldn't wear them anymore she was gone. I cried over the earrings every time someone mentioned them for about a week after the earring fell out and went missing
hi Ryan my name is Justin and I love your videos and I was just saying that I lost my mom when I was 11 12 and its really hard because I can't see her anymore and anything and she moved with my step dad and it was hard and I cannot release year and now I live with my dad and my dog and my mom my dad lost his mom when he was 14 so my whole family knows what's going on elvish chillest video to my dad when he comes home so he can understand that as well and I'm sorry for your loss as well
Thank you Ryan. Seriously thank you so much.
Whenever I think of my great uncle I will see a Cardinal.
..... his favorite bird
your not crazy! my dog dyed and a 9 years later a cat shows up at my door and now shes my pet but she acs like my old dog.
Ryan your mom was the rabbit it was from god he wants to tell you that you will see her it just takes time
This video really hit me...
this made me cry
Wow, Ryan this is so BEAUTIFUL
I literally cried, this is so amazing. Just wow! :) bless your amazing soul!
Ryan, I know this video is old, but I just wanted to say I know how you feel. I lost my mom when I was four years old, and I hardly remember her, but somehow, some way, i feel her presence. i always feel like she's watching me, motivating me to keep going in hard times. I miss her so much. Stay strong, Ryan.
My grandma passed away when I was only 10, and I kept seeing lilacs in my backyard every spring since then. Finally, last spring I realized, hey. Maybe God is telling me something. Maybe he's telling me that my grandma is happier in heaven with him.
This is beautiful. My mom passed away when I was 15, and I've always believed in the strange, the spooky whatever you want to call it. I also shared that belief with my mom. Ever since she passed I've wanted so bad to see her, hear her voice something. I wanted this to happen so bad and I kept coming up hopeless. I got to the point there I just stopped trying. When I finally stopped trying is when something happened. I was driving home from work on her birthday a few years ago when one of her favorite songs Fancy by Reba came on the radio. One that we used to sing together all the time. The strange thing was that the station I was listening to was not a county station, and it did not play county music. The song just came on out of no where and when the DJ came on after the song was over he didn't even talk about it after it happened. As it was happening I bawled my eyes out. I had to pull over and just take everything in, and after the song was over it was like she gave me a pat on the back letting me know that she will always be there. You so not sound crazy Ryan. You just had a special moment with your mom that only you and her will share forever. Just like it did with my mom.
My cat passed away this february, I know it's not the same as a person, but I got super down... I loved her and she only was 5years old when she died... And just a few weeks after her passing suddenly a homeless cat appeared in our garden, never seen this cat before but I started to believe that my cat somehow sent me this homeless cat... I know it sounds stupid but even tho I can't keep this cat only seeing it every day helped me kinda
I totally feel like your mom came to you in that form of the rabbit (not like reincarnation) but yea to tell you she's there! When we see ladybugs we think of my grandma. When we see a cardinal we think of my grandpa and when we see dragonfly a we think of my uncle all because they loved those things. I wonder if your mom loved rabbits?
Ryan, That's crazy because when me and my whole family was in the backyard grilling my mom lost her father like 5 years ago. so he would be my grandpa there was this orange and black butterfly flying around us and it wouldn't go away for hours and it kept coming back for days and my mom said that's probably your grandma saying hello and I was like your crazy but after seeing it come over and over and not flying away I realized shes probably right :) Keep up the great vids ryan
My dad passed in may 2012 and I got that "sense of peace. that they're with me somehow" when I watched the music video for Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. It had been so long since I heard that song and the man in the video looked so much like my dad. I felt like it was him saying it. The lyrics.. it was just really emotional and stuff. That was my feeling. It's weird but that's that.
I know it's not the same as losing a person but I will never forget the time I lost my dog, Jack. I was sitting outside crying and angry when a little dragonfly came and landed on my leg. Normally I would probably spaz out since I'm not a huge fan of bugs, but this was somehow different, it just sat there for quite a while, it was like it knew I needed comfort.
Thank you for this video, I think more people than you know can resonate with it.
This video brought me to tears. But i can relate. My uncle died about a year ago and for his 1 year memorial i lit up chinese lanterns and let them go into the night. The next day i got a call from my aunt saying that a chinese lantern had somehow landed in her yard that morning. I went to her house as soon as i could and i realized that it was the same lantern that i had lit the night before. Honestly, people thought i wa crazy. But i knew that that was my uncle saying that he was still here.
MY great grandmother passed a few months ago. She lived in another country, so i only saw her when i visited, but she always had a picture on my and my sister when we were little in her purse. She was the first person from my family that i lost. I was devastated. But the day after i found out, I was driving to school, and when i got out of the car, this street cat (There are a lot of them here) came to me, and sat right in front of me. for 2 minutes it did nothing. And i knew it meant something.

I think you are so great and such a beautiful soul. This is seriously one of the best and most relatable videos I have ever watched. In one week it will have been a year since I lost my Grandfather. I think you have to have lost someone to understand this, but I totally know what you mean. Anytime I'm in one of his favorite places or if I'm really missing him I see a white butterfly. Sometimes it will come up and fly around me. It stops me in my tracks. Thank you for this, I love you.
My Uncle Was A Police Officer And A Fireman He Passed Away In June In The Line Of Duty And Law Enforcement Funerals Are Huge. It Was At The Football Field In A Small Town Pop. of 1300 There Was Over 250 Police Officers&Firemen. There Was Flags Everywhere. When The Family Was Going UpTo The Casket To Give Their Last Words And The Wind Blew Harder Than It Had All Weekend And There Was One Flag That Barely Moved At All And That Was My Sign That He Was Still There Watching Us.
my grandma gave me ladybug earrings for my 6th bday & I wore them throughout my childhood. she was a huge part of my life & when she passed away, I felt completely lost. the day after she was buried, I went to take shower & was surrounded by like 20 ladybugs. at that moment, I knew that my grandma may have left this world, but would always be with me. that was 10 yrs ago & ladybugs still make me smile. and I still have the earrings, but my daughter wears them:-)
The same thing sorta happened to me. My grandma died in 2002 and my dad was super depressed and so was I because I barely knew her and she was a great woman and didn't deserve to die. So in about 2007, I got a dog named Grace for Christmas. I didn't realize it was my grandma until she got attacked in January. She survived and is doing amazing today, but that traumatizing experience made me realized: My Grandma, Alice, Was Really MyBest Friend, Grace, In Disguise. Thanks for helping me realize it
when my grandma passes away I was living in another country so I flew out to my hometown to go to her funeral and as I was in the airplane I was remembering her then I turned my sight to the airplane window and there was a bird and well birds are not usually seen in airplanes and then I saw a pink trail a long the sky and I felt peace it was a really amazing feeling. I was small and I had no clue what this meant so I turned to my mom and asked her what this was and she said "It's your grandma"
A while after my dad died I didn't really notice anything like this. But one day I was walking and there was a kitten behind me. I didn't think anything like this. So I tried to leave it behind but it kept following me. I decided to just take it home. The first thing it did when it got home was sit in the chair my dad always sat in. It felt weird, but peaceful. I still have this cat of course it's almost grown now. It still sleeps in my dads chair. I honestly feel like it's my dad.
Last year my grandfather passed away from cancer. I sat outside at my grandma's house, a couple weeks after he had passed. I looked around and a squirrel with no tail sat on the fence, looking at me. I was very confused and wondered "why doesn't it have a tail?" then I remembered my grandfather lost his finger when he was in his early 20's. The squirrel stayed for a few weeks, then suddenly, it was gone. It used to sit on my grandma's porch and watch her. I like to believe that was grandfather.
My papa always had a thing for butterflies.. And when he died and my mom visited his grave for the first time a yellow butterfly landed right on his stone. At the same moment my mom was on the phone with my aunt and my mom mentioned the butterfly on his stone. In that same moment my aunt told my mom a yellow butterfly was circling around her. I really believe in my heart that was my papa. May your mother RIP Ryan. God bless. X
I lost my brother in Afghanistan on may 16th of this year. He was one of a few who were killed in the car bomb. The only thing that was left of him on his body was a Livestrong Bracelet. He messaged me on Facebook on February 1st of this year saying that he would see me in 5 months because he had a baby on the way, who is a healthy baby boy named after his father. I was scrolling through my feed on Instagram and saw a livestrong bracelet on there. Thank you very much. I love ya!
i know how it feels to loose someone.... i lost my dad and grandma and great grandma 3 years ago and your story was so inspiring to me!! :.) and i had to open my eyes because my dog now came to me and stayed at my front door! and would not leave so my mom feed him.... sooner or later we finally adopted him it was like as if my dad was trying to protect me and his way of saying hi! you had a very inspiring story to me!! i know what it feels like!
im sorry for your loss :)
i cant say i know how u feel exactly, on feb 19th 2013 my grandfather died everyone was crying & so upset but to this day i havnt cried once for him or even felt remotely sad the only reason i've cried was because i was angry at myself i dont understand whats wrong with me why dont i feel anything.. i loved him more then anything he was like a dad to me but still i feel nothing i havnt seen anything like u've mentioned or anyone else has.. i just dont understand it
I know how you feel. I had to help take care of my Grand father who only spoke Spanish and me only English. he was with us for a little over three years and he had a heart attach on new years eve when he went to take a leak. we found he after hearing a crash in the bathroom. I gave him CPR and got a pulse. he later went into a coma because a student nurse stopped squeezing his air bag to help him breath for five minutes when they were taking him to get an MRI. later he passed on.
After we buried him with my Grand mother long passed, and came back home, I was home alone a few months later which was a week after I buried my chow chow that loved my Grand father and would walk with him everywhere. I was home alone when I saw him and my chow coming from his room down at the end of the hall she was walking in front of him looking back at him. he went into the bathroom turned on the light she was waiting for him then he flushed walked out waved and went to his room with her.
I cried because I realized how blind sided I was when my grandpa died. It wasn't a rabbit but weirdly a lady bug when I was reading a book landed on it and I swished it away. Like two pages later another came I stopped reading and left and I kept it all in and I just gave up and honestly if I could I wouldn't of never swished it away god I can't breath I'm favoriting this video thanks you really helped me. Love you and for the army stay strong :D
I had the same thing happend last week..I lost my grandma a few weeks ago..and..she loved rabits...and just last week..for 3 days straight everytime I went into my back yard..the rabite was just sitting there.and each day it got closer then the 3rd day.it just sat beside me on my deck stairs.I sudenly clued in this was my grandma tryin to be close to me..i put my hand near the bunny and it like nudged my hand and I could see it had this little smile..this story really connects me to ryan,thanks.
My 6 month old cousin died a couple weeks ago. My aunt kept telling me she was seeing this amazing baby bird everywhere she went. Then my other aunt came into the conversation astounded because she had seen one too and one got into her house as well but it was so peaceful. The next day she got a call from her friend who was a median and told her that my cousin was the sign of a bird. We knows she's still with us now.
All these people are saying they're inspirational or that they've cried, but I don't see any saying that they understand. I am so familiar with that feeling of piece when you look at something you've never noticed before. People always ask me how I come to terms with deaths so easily. It's not because I'm heartless, it's because I know this feeling and it's cool to know I'm not the only one.
Hi Ryan I kno u probably won't read this but oh well it was December 18, 2010 that was the night at 6:11 pm that my grandmother died the family as well as I were there they pulled the plug and I watched her take her last breath I never thought I would experience another humans death .that night on the way home the car was silent my dad had already lost his father and now he had Lost his mother he said "I'm an orphan now " to my mom since then I have seen the same gold star every night .
Almost 3 years ago, my uncle died from cancer. I didn't believe that he was gone either. A couple days after he past away, a butterfly let me hold it. And that same butterfly followed me everywhere i went. I,thought that is a weird butterfly. But then I relized, it was my uncle. He was protecting me and watching me. I'm so,glad that I'm not the only one who has felt this way about just a simple thing.
Like a wild animal doesn't just let you hold him now do they? But this one did and my dad and mom truly believed it was my dads brother, as my dad was holding him the eagle continued to stare, and my dad did as well, and the eagle just flew away, everything about it was peaceful my dad said, and he also believed it was his was of saying hello im still here! Anyways ryan you're not crazy, I believe many people went through the same thing but are afraid like you said to tell anyone.
My dad lived on a reserve most of his life and he had a best friend, more like a brother. One day my dads brother was walking across the road and got hit by a car, and then another one right after, he died on impact. So my dad grew up this man since he was started elementary, then all of the sudden he was gone,physically but not spiritually. My dad saw this bald eagle standing in the middle of the road not moving, but staring. So he decided to walk towards its and try picking it up. And he did.
I lost my uncle 2 years ago, and to this day I wish he was still alive. He taught me so much, most importantly how to play Scrabble like a boss. He owned a house painting business so naturally he had a van with ladders on top. And whenever I see a painting van, I look and see if the driver is my uncle. It never is obviously, but that moment when I look, it gives me that same peace that you were talking about. The van's give me hopefulness that he is watching out for me until we meet again.
awhhhh, Ryan. this made me cry so hard and the fact that you were tearing up, i wanted to cry more. Ryan, i love you so so so so so so so much more than i already do because you spoke to my heart, even though i haven't had a recent loss, you still taught me to open up my eyes, look around, and try to find that peace whenever i need to. you don't need to make these jokes in these kinds of videos because it may not be what satisfies us, even though it still does. i don't and won't think you're cr
i got a little emotional when i watched this because this happened to me as well. i was in my backyard and i don't really go outside that much..but for some reason i decided to go out because i felt so lonely and depressed after my uncle passed away. and a butterfly came and sat on my shoulder. i didn't notice it at first, but it flew in front of me and i caught it. usually they're pretty scared and would fly away. but this particular butterfly just stayed for 5 min. and in those 5 min.,
A similar thing happened to my cousins. My one cousin passed away and there is never usually any swans in the water that is near their house but my aunt,uncle, and cousins were talking to a medium and in that moment a swan came over, and the medium said that was a sign. Well my aunt, uncle and cousins never saw that swan or any other swans again until the anniversary of my cousins death. Pretty weird stuff.
Ryan , I can relate to your feelings so much. I lost my dad 7 years ago, and i start seeing the signs of him being with me occasionally almost everywhere. In the fly of the butterfly in coldest day possible.
It is not even make seance to anyone except me. I feel exactly the same. We are lucky to have such a special bond. not everyone can feel this or even think about it. May God bless your Mom.
This made me try. Thank you for saying this. I lost a few family members in the past... One was my grandfather and me and my family moved in with my grandmother to keep her company and I always saw the same bird sitting at the window. I felt a sense of peace, just like you did. Right now 3 people close to me are lost at sea. I hope that I won't feel that peace, because I hope they are still alive. Thank you Ryan. You are an amazing person.
I love these serious videos. And this one was just so touching and truthful. About three or four years ago my great grands died. I wasn't seriously close to him but he meant so much to me. Every time I see a cardinal I think of him and hope that it is him. I miss him so much! I am so sorry that you had to go through such a loss. You are so strong. And don't be afraid to make these serious videos more often. Thanks Ryan.
OMG, its been little over 2 months since I moved into this new place and there's this crow that follows me around on my street, it never goes beyond the street. It freaked me out the first few times it happened, but now i feel weird if i don't see him when i go outside the house. I haven't lost a loved one, i don't know why he follows me.. i haven't seen him follow anyone else, there's no explanation
my best friend died 2 years ago yesterday her mom was killed too. a drunk driver as driving the wrong way on the highway and hit them dead on.. I know this sounds like im a horrible American but Im not I promise, but I really ever since then I haven't enjoyed the 4th of july. and a couple of months ago her dad was killed by a guy that ran a red light and all that there is left of that family is her two brothers and one of her brothers just had a kid...... I miss her terribly. I cry every night.
One time I was in a store with my mom getting ornaments for Christmas and my mom found one that said "Papa loves you" (Papa being what her and her siblings called their dad" we carried it around but my mom decided against buying it so she put it back we went to the bathroom and there was the papa loves you ornament right by the bathroom. We thought it was strange but we picked it up and put it on the shelf and continued shopping when we turned back it was on the floor again.Thanks for this video
I keep watching this over and over again. Each time I watch it I cry even harder. This video reminded me that the people close to you aren't guaranteed to be around forever. You need to enjoy every moment with them. Back in December I lost a really close friend of mine. Almost everyday I cry for her and her family. I miss her a lot and because of her loss I always make sure I make the most of everyday and tell everyone much I love them and how much they mean to me. Thanks Ryan. ♥
You know, Ryan. The Chinese believe that when a person whose dear & close to us died and we see an animal or an insect(any living thing) flew into the room/house and stay for a long time then disappear or just close to us. We believe that's the spirit of the one we loved. They come back to see if we're doing good or to watch over us, protect us. I don't believe back then but your video helps me to believe it now. & I guess this has nth to do with a single race but to all humanity. :)
My papa was 50 mom in her late 20s. Her sister was pregnant she came up for the week and flew back home. My aunt the pregnant one gets a call from my mom Karen u need to come back home. Y she says. My moms say...we have a funeral to plan. Silence. He worked his ass of for 20 years got nothing but a heart attack in return. Never new he would have another grandchild. Never say his daughter pregnant never new also. I'm 11 years old and think y but we have to move on. Something good will come.
Great story Ryan, im glad you found peace :) most ppl dont accept it and actualy go crazy or fall into depression. I actualy lost my uncle a few years ago cuz of cancer and im still struggling to let go, if i ever talk about it or hear about it i end up crying, im still trying to let go but its really not easy when you lose some1 in ur family that never treated you any different from any1 else in the family, i dont have many of those, i guess you can say im sort of like the black sheep..
wow Ryan you are so right... when my grandma passed away a hummingbird perched right next to my mom and the day after the hummingbird went into the shop were all the guys are... when my grandpa passed away a cardinal fell by my mom and was basically everywhere she went and now after all this happened I know that is grandma and grandpa just coming by to check on us all... thanks for that story :')
I lost my little brother 6 years ago and i had almost the same experience. After he died i would just break down and cry. But when i did cry it didn't feel like i was crying normally. Every time i cried it felt like someone was there with me. At first i was like (this is only happening because he just died. Kind of how you did when you first saw the bunny.) But the third time i broke down i realized my brother was trying to reach out to me. So seeing your video helped me realize it was my bro.
The same thing kinda of happened to me. my great grandma died almost 2 months ago and a week after she passed away I was in my bathroom looking at myself in the mirror and i looked out the window and the sky was completely pink, and that was her favourite color, and I somehow knew she was telling me that she was there so I said "hi grandma" and the trees around it shook, and now whenever the sky is pink, I always say hi and there is always something that moves whether it is wind or a flower.
This has happend to me so many times. On the day my aunt was dying my sister would not stop crying. My sister was 4 and my aunt was on the other side of the world. Before my grandpa died a white bird followed my dad around like no tomorrow and when ever i feel worthless and down 2 white butterflies always come near me and rest on a plant by me and i know that it is my aunt and grandpa
I cried my eyes out...
its weird that you say that because my great grandmother died before I was born and my grandma says her spirit would be a monarch butterfly (because she loved them) and at the park the other day there was this monarch butterfly that I kept seeing fluttering around me and my birthday was like 2&1/2 weeks ago.. so yea I said hi to a butterfly... and I think it was her wishing me a happy birthday :,) ... I hope it was at least
A year ago on April 16th my grandmother passed away. I was heart broken. My aunt, from the other side of my family, attended my grandmothers funeral to pay her respects. Less then 3 months later in July she, my aunt, passed away. It has been a rough year to say the least and I can certainly relate to what you mean. I don't think you're crazy nor do I think I am since I have my own interesting story. Faith and hope is what keeps us going.
I had a similar thing happen to me. My dad died about two years ago, and I remember I went to the cemetery the first year anniversary of his death, and there was this dog... and he was following me around the cemetery and then he takes this stick and drops it at my feet and I was like okay. I'll play along, so I threw it away from him and he ran after it and came back. He did it a good couple of times. When I came across the dog, he was sitting on the side where my dad was buried.
Same type of thing happened to my mom! In 2009 when my Grandma died a few days later or whatever my mom said she was coming out of their house and she was standing on the front step and stuff when a few birds sat down on a wire and there was this one really pretty bright blue bird and it was staring at my mom and then went and landed on her car antenna and then up by her and then it flew away, my mom believe it was her mom. :) I believe her.
My best friend killed herself 4 years ago and I was seeing her everywhere, I felt she was there with me every single moment and that scared me a lot. I too believe in reincarnation. I don't know if it's real or not, I don't care, maybe it's just our brain denying the loss. Your story was so personal and sincere. I thank you for sharing that with us! God bless you!
My dad past away two days ago and Ive felt that peaceful fealing an I just want to say thanks for this you made me open up my eyes and see the world in a positive way and that things are goinh to be okay, beacause like that nurse said..I'll see him again.
Thanks.
he made me realize something, my dog is my grandmom and then when I went on vacation to the dead middle of New York no where near water a seagull followed me around for a whole day where ever I went, thank you ryan for letting me know that my grandmom because the past year has been shit with out her and now I feel a little better
I'm crying right now. I had a very similar situation happen to me with a stray cat a week after my grandpa died. We were so close before he died and I was devastated when he passed. I told my brother what happened and he did think I was crazy. He thought I was mocking him and no one believed me. But I know what happened and I will always remember it.
This is so inspirational and i can totally relate. Looking at u Ryan while u spoke, i saw in your eyes how much that really meant to you and my heart sank. I immediately started thinking of my late grandfather and i felt like crying. I love you Ryan, you speak truth and that's one thing i really respect. ♥
same with my uncle clem be there was the a couple of cats living out side that I feed and they wouldn't dare come to me but the day he died I went to feed the cats and his fav cats that was the dad he came sat right beside me and I felt a vibe for the cat and it was the same vibe I would get form my uncle clem R.I.P
I just want to say, thank you. My aunt recently passes away and I still cannot believe she is actually gone. My cousin just told me the other day that a similar thing happened to her while she is sitting on e beach but it was with a ladybug. This video made me resize that my aunt may not be here in person but she is always with us. Thank you do much!!!
My great grandma died a few years ago. The day after I went out on the porch and saw a yellow butterfly. I had never seen a butterfly in the porch. Then my grandma went out side. She saw it. My grandpa saw it. Then we started to get it. Every time we went outside we would see that yellow butterfly. And every time you go outside on the porch, it says hello. Every time.
My dad died over a year and a half ago and today is 21 months. I don't even know how I found this video, but I wanted to say thank you. I turned to writing after he passed and sometimes I would sit there and I'd feel like he was right behind me, just watching me. Maybe I wasn't as crazy as I thought I was.
that was so good I cried because I had the exact same thing when my dog died...when he died the next couple of days after he passed there was a rabbit that would always hang out in our front yard, the rabbit was the exact same color that my dog was, black and brown. so when you were telling this I believed every word you said
Thank you, Im 19 and I lost my this march and I've never really told anyone this because I was afraid people would think I was being weird, but every day around 12:15pm a white butterfly passes through our kitchen window, and I always feel a sense of peace. This made me cry because I thought I was the only person who felt like this. Thanks Ryan.
Thanks so much! I was like crying last week bc I lost my aunt. & she was like really close to me. She did lots of shi!t for me like it was really cool. & the same thing happened to me! Except it was a frog. It followed me everywhere & like broke into my house and sh!t but you made me realize what it meant. Thanku;)
my grandma died before i was born and my mom was 16 when she died and one day we went to visit her grave for her birthday then we saw it on her stone grave where the rain stained the stone was gone from its place but it formed a angel kneeling down with prayer hands with large wings and its still there today and that there was a true sign of god
This made me cry. In a good way and things like that happen to me all the time. A red wing black bird ill see every once in a while that's my grandpa. They were his favorite birds. And a dove is my great grandpa i don't really know how that relates to him but that's what my mom tells me. :) sorry for your loss.
Ryan, you're so inspirational and even though I don't know how it feels to lose my mom, I do know what you went through. you've lost one of the best people in your life. There was nothing that could've been done about it. I feel for ya. Let god or whoever it is that you're religiously close to guide you. I love you Ryan, you're like a brother.
My uncle died and my cousin had a imaginary friend named Ronnie my uncles name was Ronnie (my cousin was like 3 at the time and he'd never seen him before) I asked my aunt to take a picture of him out one day because I'd never seen him either. Then my cousin from across the room and grabs the air next to him and says Ronnie that's you.
LOL, dropped her noodles. That part was funny, but the rest was sad yet heartfelt, I think I speak for everyone in the Average Army when I say: Sorry for your loss, hope that the rabbit will always stay around. That story helped a lot. Please like this comment, so that Ryan himself can see it as a top comment.
Thank you ryan so much it means alot and i did think i was crazy but thank you ryan for making this video i really needed this i lost my grandmother 2 months ago and i miss her so much and thank you! I literally cried whenever i saw this video because of the help and truthfully this is the type of advice i needed right now thank you!
i remember when my grandma died and after the funeral, all the kids were in one car to go back to the funeral hone and we saw the most beautiful rainbow. But wen we asked the adults if they saw it, they didn't. I believe that grandma painted that rainbow across the sky for only her grandchildren to see. :,)
I was watching this video and the one you made back in October last night and just crying. I watched this video like 4 times and tears just came every time. I had no idea why I kept coming back to it and then going and finding the one about your mom you made for breast cancer awareness. Today my grandma passed away. I think you're the peace that I found. thank you for that.
Ryan, I lost my mother 6 months ago and I still haven't felt that peace. I think now that I saw your video I will look at things with more of an open mind. Thank you. You've helped me through a lot, and not only with this video. I'm sorry that you lost your mom, I know how that feels. Stay Strong, Ryan. We're here for you
Stop, Ryan omg you're gonna make me cry. When my aunt died, there were thousands of white butterflies surrounding her burial, and now every time I see a white butterfly.. I know that's my aunt just saying hello. You're so right. Opening your eyes can change perspective and make things that seem complex so simple. Have a great week Ry, love you :)
My horse (who was a "loved one" to me) passed on and she was blind in one eye and then the next day our other old horse that my horse was like best friends with went blind in the same eye. I took that as a sign that my horse was still with us an it comforted me
And our other horse isn't phased by being blind in that eye by the way. :)
2 days go my cousin was so close to dying she was sleeping while the fan set off a fire her small sister woke her up because her sister kicks the blanket off and the pillows and what happend was the pillows wer standing around the fire like a wall the pillows wasn't leaning on anything . But I'm glad she's alive I said to her that's assign of god or our family
A couple months ago I lost my best friend. No, she wasn't a human she was a cat. She meant so much to me. We were like mother and daughter. Her real mother abandoned her so I took her in. I saw her grow up. She was with me during thick and thin. Whenever I was having a bad day she would cheer me up. I miss her so much. I wish she was here.
My grandma died about this time last year. Then, three days before school started my grandpa died and I missed my first day of school cuz I couldn't stop crying. After that I hav had 1 or or 2 dreams where I get to talk to my grandpa and tell him wats going on. He nods his head and gives his "approval" then I wake up. Last week my cousin died of a brain tumbler
I love you Ryan. And people always say I'm crazy for thinking my neighbor (who past away from lung cancer) he was like a grandpa to me.,, I saw this bird on the window sill of his apartment and even wen I got closer it didn't move it just looked at me and so I thought it was him and everyone else just laughed.... But thankyou...
You're not crazy Ryan! I really appreciate this video...and your story. I was adopted at birth by a single mother. She adopted me in her late 30s and I just turned 18. If I lost her, I'd break down, but I have you as a role model and advice giver, I know things will get better after something like that. So.. Thank you Ryan,
Sincerely, Average Army Soldier.
This is so true and touching because a few monthes after my grandpa died of cancer i was playing a softball game and thinking about how i missed having him there when a bright cherry red corvette drive by and he had a bright cherry red corvette and that gave me so much happiness and peace to know he was at that game cheering for me watching me
