Hi, I am writing because recently my son has been talking about his "other mommy and daddy". A couple of months ago, out of the blue, he said "I used to have a different mommy and daddy". I found this very surprising but just replied with an honest, "Really? What happened to them?" Since then, he has discussed the death of his parents in a fire, his 2 older sisters and a brother. He says that they all died in a fire. He has memories of his oldest sister driving him to places he needed to go. He also has been talking alot about his family leaving him one day and never coming back. This makes him sad when he talks about it. I just tell him that I would never leave him and that I'm sure that his other family loved him too and maybe they really tried to get back to him but couldn't. Anyway, this is fascintating to me and I am glad that I found this forum. Thanks!!

the parents I had before you....

When my daughter was only about 2 1/2 we were sitting chatting and she told me that God came to visit her when she was a baby, after her other parents died, before she came to us.

Humoring her, I asked her what God looked like, and she screwed up her face like it was a dumb question and said "Mommy, he doens't look like anything.. just a bright light"

When I asked about her "other" parents, she again acted surprised that I didn't know already, and told me what she remembered... that her mom was buried in the "park with all the stones" and had a "statue of a lady placed over her". She couldn't remember thier names, or how they died.. etc.. except that she was little still.

Of course, being an adult, i was skeptical, but it seemed so real to her! And if it was fantasy, wouldn't she just make up names and other details, instead of only remembering some of it?? And where would a two year old have gotten the idea of God as a bright light?

I always wondered if perhaps all children had these memories, but she was able to share them because she was so verbal at a young age. I'd love to hear more about other young kids having these memories!
 
Hi, thanks for sharing your daughter's story! I don't know whether all young children have memories, but I am sure it is far more common than we used to suspect. It's one of the subjects I am researching, and I'll quote a recent story that came to me, you may enjoy it! The mother wrote:
When she was two, our daughter asked me, "'Member, Ma, when I was up in de sky and I
decided to be a little girl and come in your body?" I didn't even remember her ever having
used the word 'decided' before. When she was two and a half, I overheard her singing to
herself in the bathtub. I was out in the hall, putting away the towels, and I paused, in awe,
hardly believing my ears. "We are all so conscious. We know everything. But we just like
to play along. We are all so conscious. But we like to play."
More of the story is in the Letters page of my website (I think the URL will appear below).

That sounds similar to another story my good friend Kim told me. Her neice (who was 3) was holding her new baby sister very close to her face one day. Kim's brother was a bit concerned that the toddler was going to hurt the baby or something, so he leaned closer to investigate. He asked the toddler quietly what she was doing, and the girl replied, "I'm asking the baby to remind me of what God looks like, because I'm forgetting".

my sons other mum........

I would like to get to know about my sons other mum, since he was 3 years old, he talks to me about his other mum, dad, sister and brother. He gives me the same names and tells me how they died. He also says that me and his dad now actually came to get him before he died and that he was only a baby. I never dismiss what he says but I am really intrigued to know more!
 
Hi Sonia,

I thought I would share with you what my grandson said to me three years ago. He was two years and three months old at the time. I had a book about the world open and we were sitting on the floor together. He carefully went page by page, asking me "What's this grandma? Este? Este? (His father is from Guatemala and the other side of the family speaks Spanish to him. So he speaks both).

He made the cutest faces, smiled, and oohed and awed. After about half way through the book, there was a small picture of a woman from the Mideast, her clothing was particular to that area. He stood up and got so excited, almost yelling at me "That's my other mommy -- that's my other mommy."

I knew what he meant, but tested him.."Your mommy's over there Christian" and I pointed to my daughter." He clearly said --" NO, I had another mommy, (and pointed in the book) --that's my other mommy." I acknowledged his recognition, and told him how lucky he was. He smiled and at that point was done with the book. He didn't want to see anymore. Seeing his other mommy was quite enough and off he ran to play.

My daughter's eye's got so big, the expression on her face was that of pure joy, because for her it was a validation that there is life after death. And it was coming from her own child.

You weren't always my Mommy

From the day my youngest son was born, he would awaken from his afternoon nap screaming and hysterical, blind hysteria. The nurses at the hospital said it was probably birth trama and he would outgrow it. He didn't. He spoke early and well, putting complete sentences together at 16 months. By the time he was 8 months old, he would awaken screaming car, car pointing to the window and I would show him there wasn't a car. Later it was "car, fire, then it was he was on fire in the car. This happened every day. One day when he was 18 months old, he was sitting on my lap watching a movie and there was a funeral, he asked why the people were crying and I said because the man had gone to heaven and they wouldn't see him for awhile. He said "oh he will be back, when you die all these people come to get you and tell you about your whole life and you can decide if you want to be "bornded" again and I decided to be "bornded" to you, but you weren't always my mommie." As Tim grew he would tell these stories after waking up from his nightmarish nap. He would describe his mother, he said he thought there was a girl in the car with him but wasn't sure. He talked about the people who came to get him, and would insist he was big and could drive. He talked everyday, several times a day, but only after his naps. His other siblings got tired of hearing him talk about it. And then one day near his fifth birthday, one of his sisters said her friend's grandmother had died, Tim said "oh she will be back" his brother said "oh you don't know that" and Tim hesitated and said "when you die and then stopped and said 'well she will be back" He never told the story after that and a month later I repeated it to him and asked if he remembered that story and he had no recollection of it at all. But up until he was about 9 he would look at me and say "have you always been my mom?" I would answer yes, why, and he would kind of drift off and say sometimes I have a dream about another mom. Tim is now 22, there is nothing about him to indicate any of this, we've of course talked about it, he doesn't have any dreams concerning it at all. But I know Tim came from someplace beyond our present knowledge.

Sally,

That must have been really neat to hear of your son's past life and his knowledge of the subject, althougth it must have been hard for him when he had the memories.

I truly believe that the children hold the truth to our existence. I was brought up Catholic, and from an early age I always felt that there was something more than what I was taught. Than I started studying and reading stuff on reincarnation, and found the "lost key".

Look at my topic " Could this little kid be saying somehthing about reincarnation." I would appreciate your opinion!

Where's my "other"Mommy?

Hi,I am new to this site and this topic.I ordered Carol's book today,and am looking forward to reading it.
My son who is now four years old,use to ask me,"where is my other mommy?"This started happening around age two.I told my husband about it at the time,but he was not very interested.I'm sure he thought it was just nonsense or two year old imagination.I was interested and would ask him what other Mommy?He told me he had another Mommy with dark curly hair,(mine is blonde).He also said he was hit by a truck at his other house and died.This really freaked me out!I do believe in past lives,however,I do not know very much about the subject.My son no longer remembers anything he said about this.I guess I will keep reading these message boards and reading on the subject and see what I can learn. Thanks
 
Very interesting Windie! i'm sure it has to do with a past life. When we're little, I think we remember more about our former lives. My mom told me I used to ask when I was going home.
 
I remember I always used to have dreams each night about walking to my home(my old home where I only lived until I was 4)with a kind old man in black with an umbrella and I'd always ask him when was I going home and he'd say I was home and then it'd end.I also had a similar vision when at school(in 2nd grade) one day we were asked to close our eyes and imagine we were blind except this time the man was walking me through snow in a dark town that looked old fashioned.I saw very vivid images of snowflakes and totally forgot where I was for several minutes.This man later came up as being my father in many past life visions I've had.He seems very quiet but wise and I think was my father in many or most of my lives.

Can someone please tell me....

Dear All,

This is a most interesting web site and I have a question about my four year old grandson. he amazed me when he was about three months old. I had not seen him at all regularly since his birth, and one day I did see him alone while his parents (my son is his dad) went somewhere.

I was feeding him custard or something and he looked me in the eye and there was instant recognition between us. I could swear he knew me and he talked baby talk to me non stop. You expect a little baby to know their parents....but Grandparents....I was floored.

He is now four, and two weeks ago he said out of the blue....."You know what mum, I was born to see you." He calls me Mum although he refers to me as Nana. He calls me Mum because his older half brother does. His older brother is mute and Mum was one of the few words he could say, so he called everyone Mum and Lachlan (my grandson does the same at least with me).
Lachlan then said he was also born to see his little sister, his Mummy and Daddy and listed his other granparents as well.

The hair stood up on the back of my neck. This isn't a spectacular story like some posted on this site, but I do wonder. Lachlan seems very mature for his age, and it is entirely possible to reason with him....well, at times.
 
Welcome to the forum, Karen. :)

It sounds like you have been given proof of your importance in your grandson's life. That's a really special thing to hold on to. It never ceases to amaze me how in touch children are with so many things that we don't notice or may overlook. Like our purpose in being here. :cool

What a great thread!!

This thread is one of the best simply because so many of you have shared your stories without much prompting at all which I find peculiar seeing as usually a thread consists of the initial poster and replies from other individuals to the poster but somehow, this whole thread drew out endless tails of wonderful and spectacular children.

I was especially drawn to the story of the child decribing God as a ball of light and the child singing of us being all knowing but playing along. The other stories were absolutely fabulous. I reallly had to comment on this because it's almost as if this entire thread was pulled together in an unusual way..at least, thats how it is coming across to me. Almost as if each and every person connected in their own way, shared their intimate stories and surely have touched many who simply clicked to read one tale.

As most of you know, Cohl is now 3 years old but my mother and i triviad him the other day on the old antique picture that in the past he had inditified the individuals with ease and claimed the old man to be him. Now, he has no recollection. I've watched his memory's fade quite quickly but out of all honesty, the personality of Cohl is so innocent, so playful, so childish, an exact opposite of his older brother. It's almost as if he came back in this life to enjoy each stage to the ultimate fullest. I feel it in my heart, he has a passion for taking each and every moment for what it is worth. Never wants to grow up. He is rarely fascinated like he knows what things are but sure the heck won't show it, he enjoys it to the fullest. From the details I've pulled from little things here and little things there, it almost makes perfect since. I know Clyde, the man Cohl was in his past, was a very hardworking man and some of the other tales and stories that pop out of nowhere have always linked back to hard work.. Now it seems as though he is here to take a big break for once.

I truly believe if I hadn't of been so intense about my research, Cohl probably would have never said anything because I don't think it is in his purpose here to spread the facts at all. He is here to learn how to enjoy. However, some of you may remember that he didn't start talking until I prayed an innocent request and that was to receive true confirmation of reincarnation if it really existed and botta boom, botta bing, Cohl started talking without a single prompt.

God, our children and the truth behind our existence is so incredibly fascinating. I just can't get enough of it.
