I am very much a believer in the afterlife and have had some personal experiences with my parents contacting me, but this was amazing.  I was sitting in rush hour traffic last week and my mind was just wandering- suddenly I had this floodgate open up with memories of my old high school boyfriend from Nebraska.  We were very close for 3 years of my high school.  He was my first serious boyfriend.   But, I broke up with him midway through senior year, I wanted to date others.   Anyway, I went my way and he went his.   I really never heard about him since- he was from a completely different part of town and different high school.  I have been married for 34 years, 4 grown kids, etc.   Then, completely out of the blue- I get the memories, even the deep feelings I had for him rushing into my brain.   I can't describe it.  I immediately Googled him and the only thing that came up? His obituary.  He had passed away 4 weeks prior (Aug 21st!!!).   I was stunned.  I was thinking about him all night and in am when I awoke and got to work, I thought to myself "Lynn (my boyfriends first name)- if that was you, please give me a sign TODAY!"   I walked straight into work, relayed the whole story to my co- worker, I even shared that his father had committed suicide when he was a young boy. This prompted her to tell me that she had a teacher when she was in school (she's from TX) that they all loved - he committed suicide and how devastated they all were and his name was Mr. Rose.    I about fell off my chair- my boyfriends last name----- Rose!      I've heard plenty of stories about family members, grandparents, kids.... Contacting their relatives after they die.  Has anyone ever heard of this?   I hadn't seen him or really thought about him in 36-37 yrs!!   I've sure thought a lot about him this past week though. 

Thanks for any insight anyone can give me about this

Hi Tx Woman, welcome to Bruce's site. 

The experience you described is the same kind of telepathic phenomenon that happens when you suddenly think of someone and then the phone rings and it's them.  You were picking up on a psychic connection, a thought connection.  You probably sensed his energy and the way you received the message was by having memories of him. 

I love it when this kind of stuff happens to me, whether the other person is living or deceased.  It's great confirmation of how connected we truly are, across distance, time, and death. 

By the way, great for you that you asked for confirmation and received it!!!  Way to go!  It took me a long, long time to think of doing that and to remember to do it.
