My mother's parents died (6 weeks apart) back in 1976. Mom was never one to
talk to me about her "dreams" but shortly after her mother died she told me
her mother came to her "in a dream". She said she told her everything was
going to be alright. Mom said she felt greatly comforted. It was just a
few days later my father finally admitted to her he was an alcoholic and
asked for her help. So yes, I believe my grandmother visited my mother and
told her everything would work out.

When my mother was still alive I'm pretty sure I saw my father a couple of
times here in the house. I like to think he was still hanging around,
watching over her. I haven't "seen" him since she died. I haven't seen
her, either, but I feel her presence at times.

So to answer TFM's question, I do think there's something more. What it is,
where it is, I don't know.
