+++<\/p>\n

At the end of October 2024, I was reading the MacGregor\u2019s book: Secrets of Spirit Communication<\/em>, that Trish had gifted my partner and I in 2018. It should be noted that the cover image of the book includes two cardinals.\u00a0In one of the chapters the narrative describes how readers can ask for a sign to help them on their journey, and to make decisions.<\/p>\n

I chose to read the book because I was in the middle of a period of personal acute turmoil. My partner of 13 plus years and I were in the early stages of separating and I was unsure of what was going to happen in my life. It was a feeling of distress\u2014full of grief and fear, and a literal feeling in my body that I was falling. I questioned whether I should keep trying to make the relationship work, transition to a friendship, or let go completely. I was unable to grasp what was causing all the confusion that was occurring and how rapidly things were falling apart.<\/p>\n

So I decided to ask for a sign. I didn\u2019t ask for anything else, just a sign because that\u2019s what the book was suggesting. Within a couple of days, or it could have been the very next day, I was sitting in the living room reading and I heard a crashing bang noise in the front of the house. I opened the glass front door and saw a young robin lying on the front step with its neck broken and gasping for air. I put the injured\u00a0bird\u00a0in a towel and left it in the grass. The next day I checked and it was dead. My partner disposed of it in the garbage. I didn\u2019t mention anything to him about what I was thinking at that moment\u2014that this may have been the sign I had requested. And if it was, then life was going to radically change for both of us.<\/p>\n

I had just cycled through another birthdate to my life. At 68 I had never experienced this type of\u00a0bird-flying-into-glass-death event. The dead\u00a0bird\u00a0woke me up to a new feeling of finality\u2014the sense that the relationship might be dead.<\/p>\n

A week or so later, after my partner had already moved out, I decided to try again to ask for a sign\u2014just to reassure my soul that the dead robin was the sign meant for me. I asked for another sign before falling asleep. The next day I had an appointment at the local university, in the oral history department. I parked my car at the library and walked several blocks to the building. When I reached out to open the door, I looked down and there in front of the glass door was a dead\u00a0bird–a yellow-throated warbler. The sight of it freaked me out and I was shaking internally as I climbed the stairs to reach the office for my meeting.<\/p>\n

These two dead\u00a0birds delivered the signs I needed to transition into a life without my partner. I\u2019m forever indebted to those beings for \u201ctelling\u201d me the truth.<\/p>\n
