As I wrote about yesterday,
my wife of 19 years of marriage, passed away Tuesday night at 11:30pm in our home, after a lifetime suffering from type-1 diabetes and kidney failure…
editors note
Nicole voluntarily disconnected from her dialysis treatments and chose to move on .
Nicole had told my son and me she would send signs that she was okay after her passing. It seems she has kept her promise. She’s sent at least three clear signs.
1. Thunder: For the next day after her passing, The Weather Network had predicted blue skies. Instead, on Wednesday morning it began to pour… and thunder. We had three thunderstorms that day, after a summer with barely any (due to drought). Nicole loved thunderstorms. Many times this year, she had said she was waiting for a good thunderstorm. Now it feels as if she can make them happen.
2. “Mama”: Our son Jonah has always referred to Nicole as Mama. Amidst Wednesday’s thunderstorms, an email arrived in my inbox from cartoonist Bob Moran with the subject line “Mama.” I subscribe to Bob’s email list, where he releases his latest paintings several times a week. Inside this email was the following cartoon called “Mama”…
Just as Mama Nicole broke free from the cage and shackles of her broken body. Nicole had worked with a local shaman only weeks before, and believed her power animal was the bear. She also believed that upon passing she would be reunited with our late daughter Skye. Notice how the baby bear is surrounded by the sky?
3. Widow(ers): On Friday, Bob Moran sent out his next painting. At this point, I felt Nicole was just playing jokes on me…
Regardless of these outwards signs, since Friday, I’ve had a growing and overwhelming sense that she is happy, free and helping me, my son and the world in ways we can barely imagine.

Fellow Tenters can leave a message for John and Nicloe and Jonah …in a comment…I will be sure He gets them
Condolences to his family and many thanks for writing that book.
Spiritual strength unbound.
My condolences, and may God bless you all.
John, I’m sorry for your loss. Her spirit clearly lives on. Out of sorrow, joy and peace sprout up.
What a marvelous story, John ! I can personally attest to visitation from beyond the veil. I knew of the passing of a kindly old man with whom I and my colleagues had the pleasure to work along side. When I mentioned that “old Joe” had gone, I was asked how I knew. How indeed. But in fact he passed on the previous night, in a far off city, just as I said.
I wish many blessings for you and your son, Jonah. Cheers.

First off please pass along my condolences to Mr. Manley. I am sure he has
mixed emotions about his wife’s passing, so I would just like to say many
of us know what he is going through and can relate. His pain will pass and
he will be left with wonderful memories of his time with his partner. And
she has shown him she is okay now.
I read with great interest his experience following his wife’s passing.
Based on my own experiences, what he has experienced is not simply
coincidence. There is much we don’t understand and occasionally we will
have experiences that simply cannot be explained. “Someone” has let him
know that everything is alright with his wife. The wonders of this
world… and the next…
Take care,
Chris
There is comfort to know that our loved ones are at peace. I have no idea what is beyond for us but it has to be better than what we have collectively endured in our short lives on this planet.
Thank you for all the kind comments. Those paintings were very reassuring. I’ve ordered a print of “Mama” to keep the memory fresh on my wall and in my mind and heart.
Even stranger was a good friend of Nicole’s, a professional singer, was performing at an event downtown on Thursday. Afterwards, two different ladies came up to her and said they saw a woman with red hair appear behind her while she was singing and then vanish.
