Our Loved Ones Are Still With Us — Especially During the Holidays

The holiday season can be an emotional time, especially for those grieving someone who has passed into Heaven. While we may no longer see our loved ones physically, many believe we can still experience signs from loved ones in spirit, offering comfort, reassurance, and a sense of continued connection.

Common Signs From Loved Ones in Spirit

Many people report experiencing spiritual signs from deceased loved ones in everyday moments. These signs may include sensing their presence, feeling sudden calm, or noticing familiar scents—such as a loved one’s perfume or the smell of a cigar they used to smoke.

Music is another powerful form of connection. Hearing a song from a loved one unexpectedly play on the radio while driving or running holiday errands often feels meaningful and deeply personal.

How to Connect With Loved Ones in Spirit

If you’re wondering how to connect with loved ones in spirit, try this simple practice during the holidays. Sit quietly by yourself for 5–10 minutes, slow your breathing, and gently quiet your mind. In your thoughts, reach out to your loved one and ask them to give you a sign that they are still around. Release expectations and remain open—signs often appear when we least expect them.

Holiday Photos, Orbs, and Light Anomalies

As families gather this holiday season, take plenty of photos and videos. Some people later notice orbs in photos or other light anomalies, which they believe may be spirit signs during the holidays. While not every image has a spiritual explanation, many find comfort in these unexpected moments.

Love Beyond Physical Loss

Even though our loved ones have passed into Heaven, many believe they continue to watch over us. The holiday season reminds us that love doesn’t end with physical loss—it transforms. By staying present and open, we may recognize the subtle ways our loved ones in spirit remind us that we are never truly alone.
