Most of my religious philosophy is developed from "The Good Place." It ended with the idea that when we die our essence is returned to the universe and gets reused in some way. It's a comforting idea to me.

Thank you Allison, I just love this so much. I so appreciate you sharing your grief journey. My parents are both gone and I had a deep positive connection to both in very different ways. I am constantly seeing these "signs" because I'm open to it and my parents are not far from my mind. My mental makeup doesn't have me go so far as to say they are signs FROM my parents. It is such a lovely thought and love that for others who can take that leap of faith. But for me, I take comfort in having those signs as a reminder how much they meant to me, how deeply I knew them, and that as long as I am conscious and alive, they still live in me. Also why I love talking about them to younger generations in my family so they will continue to live in their grandchildren after even I'm gone. I have a sister who believes our father talks to her and I also say WHY THE HELL NOT! I love that for her.
