Dimes, Feathers, Butterflies and Cardinals... Oh My

grief and loss spiritual health and wellness Sep 01, 2026

 

Are you finding dimes, feathers, feeling connected to butterflies or seeing a red cardinal after someone you loved has passed away?
 
Here's what is actually happening.
 
When we experience a great loss in our lives, we might begin questioning our faith.
 
It’s not until we’ve experienced death firsthand where we can begin wondering if there really is a God and what happens to someone after they die.
 
Well, I will tell you…
 
✨1. God is very real, so that’s not even something you need to even question. We are all unique, individual expressions of the Divine, so not believing in God really means you don’t know, love, trust, and believe in yourself.
 
✨ 2. Energy cannot die, which means while a body may no longer be of use and has fully served its purpose, that life force within can never be extinguished. It’s eternal.
 
It lives on forever, and usually within 10 seconds of death, you can begin connecting with a loved one again.
 
When a person starts finding a dime, seeing a feather, starts feeling connected randomly to a butterfly, or seeing a cardinal, you can begin thinking that it’s a “sign” your loved one is around.
 
And that is true. They are always around you.
 
But what is really happening is you are being called to wake up to a greater presence. To stop. To pay attention and to get very still, quiet, and connected.
 
So when we see something like a dime or a cardinal, this is being used to break down the walls of pain, suffering, and hurt and to open yourself up to more love and a deeper connection to truth.
 
You cannot feel the love or joy of anyone close to you if you’re disconnected from your own true source of love and joy….
 
You cannot feel connected to anyone if you’re disconnected from yourself…
 
And that tends to happen immediately when we experience a death because grief is the lowest form of energy.
 
It’s only when we are still, quiet, present, and connected that we can hear the whispers of our own heart and the whispers of our loved ones on the other side.
 
So many people spend their days off in thought or off in their own heads.
 
Thinking constantly…
 
Replaying stories of the past….
 
Having imaginary arguments and or conversations…
 
Blaming others….
 
Worrying…
 
Thinking about worst case scenerios, regrets, or other things they wish they could do differently.
 
This blocks flow and connection.
 
Spirit can’t get through when someone is completely consumed with their mind or stuck in fear, anger, sadness, or grief.
 
Spirit works with the heart, and its only job is to get you back home to that place of pure love. Pure joy. Pure bliss. Pure possibility. Pure consciousness. Pure inner peace.
 
So please know your loved ones are always with you.
 
There’s no need to ask for a sign.
 
Perhaps you need to ask for some trust, belief, a quiet mind and an open heart instead.
