I have some nice experiences of synchronicity to share with you. They all involve names in some way. They point to an easy going, everyday connection with Robin at the soul level. It’s always been that way with him and afterlife communication. It occurs in the most unexpected ways during the course of my regular activities.
Lorna
On July 10, 2019, I went to my doctor to review the results of some lab work I had done. Before he came in, the medical assistant took my temperature and blood pressure as per usual. It was a short appointment and I had a good report from my doctor, so I was happy.
The next day on July 11th, I did some research for my post called Twin Soul Reminders which I was still working on at the time.
As I was searching on Pinterest for photos showing Robin’s reconciliation with his children, I came across a picture that got my attention. Robin was on stage with a beautiful singer named Lorna Marshal. I had never seen this picture before and thought it was cute. You can see the picture here.
But it caught my attention for another reason which is the name ‘Lorna’.
The day before at my doctor’s office, the assistant who took my vitals name is Lorna. I had never seen her before and I distinctly remember looking at her name tag to see what her name was. When she left the examination room, I said to her, “Thank you, Lorna.” So, I had just met someone named Lorna and then the next day, I see a picture of Robin with a woman named Lorna.
Lorna is not a common name where I live and I never really come across women named Lorna. So, since it’s uncommon for me personally, it really stood out to me that I matched with Robin through this name. It’s an example of how my current life in the physical world matches an aspect of Robin’s life even though it was years ago. It’s all about the timing of seeing the picture for the first time within about 24 hours of my doctor’s appointment.
Maybe I synched up with Robin regarding Lorna because he liked her! He seemed to be having fun!
Violet
On July 23, 2019, I finished my post called Purple Telekinesis and scheduled it for publishing.
I had been studying the color violet in order to write a little about it for the post. Here is the excerpt:
For those of you interested in yogic science, here is a description of the chakra system, including the seventh chakra which is known to be violet.
Key themes associated with this chakra and the color violet includes higher levels of consciousness and awareness as well as Oneness with the Divine. I believe this would fit with a message that Robin would want to give me. Through telekinesis, he was telling me to research what purple means spiritually.
Later in the evening, I decided to watch one of my favorite television shows called Grantchester. They are on Season 4 and I had been waiting for Episode 1 to show up in my PBS queue.
As I watched the episode, I noticed the main character, Sidney Chambers, met a woman named Violet and ended up falling in love with her. Her name came up many times in this episode. I thought it was such a nice match with how I had been researching the spiritual qualities of the color violet earlier in the day. I feel like I was guided to watch the show at that time in order to receive the synchronistic gift. This shows how elements of my work for Robin and this website end up being reflected back to me in my day-to-day life.
Brennan
During the evening of July 24, 2019, I spent time at Robin’s altar bringing a tea offering. I also decided to take out my tablet and read some of my older blog posts. It helps me to review things periodically and I like to reflect on what has occurred.
I felt guided to read my post called Circle of Stones. I was surprised when I saw I had written it last December. I can’t believe how much time has gone by…
I noticed all the “Brennans,” I wrote about like Brennan Dunn, the license plate BRENNAN and then Maire Brennan from the music group Clannad.
After we were done with tea, I went to see what my husband was doing.
He was watching a t.v. show. I decided to lie down on the couch and join him just to keep him company. I was not planning to watch the show because I was getting tired. I also didn’t have my glasses on so I could not see the t.v. But, he said he thought I might like the show, so I got up and got my glasses and came back to watch the show. It is called The Hotel Fixers.
As the show went on, I noticed a couple of times that it sounded like the narrator was referring to “The Brennans.” I did not know who any of the people in the show were so I kept watching and listening. I heard the name, “The Brennans” a few more times. When the show ended, I decided to wait to see the closing credits. It turns out that the show is about the work of hotel experts Francis and John Brennan!
Another synchronicity with the name ‘Brennan’! Robin must really like that name!
Actually, I think the synchronicity is about Robin’s love for and connection to Ireland, the country where his wife Dwina is from.
Clannad is an Irish band and The Hotel Fixers work with hotel owners throughout Ireland. They also had Irish Wolfhounds that he really loved. Here is a picture of him with his cute dogs.
I think I got the ‘Brennan’ synchronicity again because I did not highlight his connection to Ireland clearly enough the first time! Loved ones in spirit always give you second chances, lol! I hope I got it right this time. 🙂
Once again, the timing was impeccable. It was 2 days in a row where a television show I watched matched something to do with my blog posts. I really enjoyed the playful synchronicity and thanked Robin and all spirits involved in orchestrating this.
Synchronicity: A Spiritual Multi-Vitamin
To me, synchronicity is the outer-world representation of a deeper, inner spiritual connection to God, another person, animals, nature, art, work, music, etc. The inner connection and togetherness shows up in the outer world.
When I receive a synchronicity, it’s so wonderful because I feel like I’ve been given a spiritual multi-vitamin that immediately enhances and boosts my overall mood and sense of well-being. I feel deep inner joy and expansive feelings of love!
I truly accept the beauty, magic, awe and wonder of the synchronicity into my being. I drink it in, absorb it and receive all of the spiritual health benefits. That’s how you get the most out of synchronicity and other spiritual communications. I feel supercharged!
When synchronicity presents itself, don’t just blow it off as a mere coincidence. Take a look at it, see what it has to offer you and what it is saying to you. It could be a deep multi-layered blessing and communication from a loved one in spirit. Or, it could be something very important for your spiritual growth.
If you feel a strong connection to the message and drink it in, that’s how you get the spiritual multi-vitamin effect! Embrace the synchronicity because it is a form of spiritual nourishment, love and light being woven into your life.
Twin Souls: Entangled Particles
Due to the love that souls can share for each other, I believe they can become entangled at the quantum level and begin matching, synchronizing and mirroring each other even when thousands of miles apart or in different planes of existence.
In terms of my soul connection with Robin, I feel that we are entangled particles of spiritual light at the quantum level. This is my truth because I have experienced a high degree of synchronicity and other communications with him that are mind-boggling. If you have read some of my posts, I hope you will see why I have come to this conclusion. I would not say something like this if I did not have evidence. In all honesty, I think I just gave you some in this post!
Another important truth is that the vast majority of the synchronicity I receive overall in my life has to do with Robin in some way. Before his passing, I never had so much synchronicity in my entire life. I would have one occasionally and it would definitely get my attention.
But ever since Robin’s passing, synchronicity in my life has skyrocketed, always connects back to him in some way and very often includes my husband Julian as I have documented multiple times on this website. It is very common for twin souls, soul mates and soul family members to connect through synchronicity.
Aspects of Robin’s life from the past match up with aspects of my life in the present. The aspects match up within a close time-frame. It’s an amazing phenomenon.
Throughout this website, I am showing how twin soul connections manifest through synchronicity even when the two souls are in different planes of existence. This is the work I have been guided to do and I hope you have benefited from it.
Thank you so much for reading! I’m having fun writing about this!
With Love and Kindness,
I have a story about Robin’s telekinesis that is important to me on a soul level.
One day in 2013, I went to the grocery store with my husband for some medicine for his stomach. He already had one bottle of medication, but he was running low.
When we came home, I put the new box of medication on the counter in the kitchen and placed the older bottle on top of it. The new box was a Kroger brand and the older bottle was an Equate brand, but they were both the same stomach medication.
I had other groceries to put away at that time so I went ahead and did that.
Afterlife Telekinesis: Medication Switcheroo
While I was putting our groceries away in the kitchen, after a few minutes, I looked over into our family room where my computer table was. I noticed that the older Equate bottle I had placed on top of the box of medication in the kitchen was over in the family room on top of my computer desk.
I thought that it was so weird because I had just put that bottle in the kitchen on top of the box of the medication we just bought.
Then I looked at the counter in the kitchen again and noticed that on top of the new box of stomach medication was an old bottle of Kroger-brand allergy medication. I was surprised because my husband rarely took it and I never took that medication.
It was mixed in with a bunch of other bottles of vitamins and I had forgotten it was even there. So, I was confused as to what was going on. My husband had been helping put groceries away the whole time and I know he didn’t put the bottle there.
Robin was around moving these medication bottles and I knew it with 100% certainty. He had been around a lot in our apartment in Colorado in 2013, moving his picture, leaving infinity symbols made out of dental floss and moving my necklaces.
Decoding Telekinesis
When spirits do this type of thing, the question is, “What are you trying to tell me?”
I had to figure out a way to decode this message. The only reason I could come up with for him moving the bottles was that it had to do with the colors and packaging of the bottles.
You see, all of the medication packaging had purple in the design and logo. But the two Kroger medications were the same exact hues of purple and branding while the Equate brand of stomach medicine was a different hue of purple with different branding and packaging.
The bottle that was moved to my computer table was the Equate bottle with the different packaging, branding and hue of purple. The box of stomach medication and the bottle of allergy medication placed on top of it were the same exact hues of purple, same packaging and Kroger branding.
Here are pictures of the medications. They are not the exact packaging from the actual medication I had. They are screen shots from the website that show the colors better than pictures I took of the original packaging. I’m not a trained photographer.
These screenshots show the colors and packaging that are nearly identical to the way they looked on the original packaging from 2013. They are close enough to give you an idea of what I’m talking about. There is a little variation in colors in the screenshots for the Kroger medications but they are the best and most accurate images I could find. Please keep in mind that the actual packaging I had in 2013 was identical.
Stomach medicine: This is what the box looked like:
Allergy medicine: This was the logo that was on the bottle. The bottle cap was a magenta hue:
This is what the older Equate bottle of stomach medication looked like which had a different branding from the Kroger medications. At the time, I did not have the box the bottle came in. I just had the bottle. The bottle cap shown here in the picture looks nearly identical to the original:
So, from this, I felt like Robin was giving me a message about our matching colors and hues as spirits. I felt like he was doing this because it was a big discovery for me in December, 2012 that twin souls have nearly identical hues and colors of light at the spiritual level. (See Background section). My intuition told me he was confirming this in his unique, highly intelligent, and creative way!
This notion is also reported in a book by Andy Tomlinson called Exploring the Eternal Soul-Insights from the Life Between Lives.
He describes soul color in this way:
The energy of each soul has a color. This changes as souls grow to become more experienced and evolved. In the spirit realms soul mates often have the same color. (1)
I don’t know for sure if he was trying to tell me our soul colors are hues of purple or not. I would not want to presume. Maybe he was just using the medication packaging as an example. But I know he was trying to tell me something by doing that.
Perhaps our colors are purples or perhaps he enjoyed conveying the message of our spiritual color match. At any rate, Robin got my attention by doing this. He matched the medications according to the purple hues, branding and packaging for a reason.
Robin moved the Equate bottle way out of the way, into the next room, which clearly drew attention to the 2 Kroger medications that did match in terms of colors and packaging. He clearly wanted to move the bottle that did not match to highlight the medications that did match. Very interesting and clever!
For those of you interested in yogic science, here is a description of the chakra system, including the seventh chakra which is known to be violet.
Key themes associated with this chakra and the color violet includes higher levels of consciousness and awareness as well as Oneness with the Divine. I believe this would fit with a message that Robin would want to give me. Through telekinesis, he was telling me to research what purple means spiritually.
Loved ones in spirit can move objects in the most amazing ways to communicate. It’s a form of language that needs to be decoded and sometimes researched more deeply to understand and appreciate the message being conveyed. It is possible that your loved ones in spirit could communicate with you through the use of colors. That is something to be on the lookout for and to pay attention to.
Additional Message-Great Blessing and Gift
On July 20, 2019, I decided to look for my old journal where I kept a record of this movement of medications. I have many handwritten journals where I documented my communications with Robin over the years. I wrote him letters in my journals as a way of acknowledging and expressing gratitude for what he was sharing with me.
At first, I was writing about this blog post from memory. But then, I thought I should look back to the exact entry to refresh my memory on precisely what happened that day.
I looked through a couple of journals before I found the entry. When I found it, I was shocked and surprised to see the date on which this telekinesis occurred.
It happened on November 4, 2013, the same day as Robin’s daughter Snow’s birthday.
I had not looked at this journal in years. Some of the ink was starting to smudge from the longevity of being in storage. I truly felt a jolt when I saw her birth date. At the time I wrote the entry in 2013, I did not know it was his daughter’s birthday.
It reminded me of how I later found out that the RG mugs I found in a thrift store was on Robin’s mom’s birthday, November 17, 2012. At that time I found these mugs, I did not know yet that it was his mother’s birthday either.
Interesting things pertaining to Robin occur on his family member’s birthdays!
It’s almost 6 years later and this entry continues to reveal new secrets. I had not looked at this since finding out that his daughter’s birthday is November 4th. I don’t remember when I found out her birth date, but it’s been a while now that I have known.
The fact that Robin moved the medication around on Snow’s birthday gives more significance to the telekinesis as far as I’m concerned. It’s like being given a double sign. It’s another lesson indicating that a communication from a loved one in spirit can have multiple layers, some of which you may not find out about until years later.
Journal Excerpt
Here is an excerpt from the letter-journal entry I wrote to Robin about this on November 4, 2013. It was originally handwritten so I transcribed it for you here. The underlining is exactly like it was in my original journal entry:
Matching labels and colors—bottles switched
Robin, thank you for switching the medication bottles. I know you were here tonight. I had taken the stomach meds—moved them on top of the new box I had just purchased.
The next thing I know, the bottle I had placed on top of the box was on the table by my laptop—in front of it. Then I noticed that you switched it with the bottle of allergy meds. I don’t know how you do these things, but it is incredibly amazing and stunning.
Thank you, Robin, from my heart. I love you so much.
The thing that stands out to me is that you chose a bottle that matched the brand name (Kroger) – it’s a matching and a mirroring – plus you put the different bottle on top of the box like I did. It’s like you were mirroring me. I know there is something to this.
Twin matching, mirroring labels and colors. You could have chosen any bottle – there are so many there. But you chose one that matched. That is the key to me. At first, I thought there was another bottle of stomach medication until I realized it was a completely different medication, one I had not seen for awhile – hadn’t even crossed my mind.
So Rob, thank you for this beautiful sign of your presence, this teaching about your abilities and the underlying symbolism of the matching and mirroring. This is my interpretation and I love being in soul school with you…
Love,
Christina
As you can see from my entry, I was quite moved by this communication and I still am. I think it’s amazing and very consistent with the literature on afterlife communication in terms of what our loved ones in spirit are capable of doing.
Some Literature on Telekinesis
When you can’t communicate verbally with words, you can, as a spirit, learn to communicate with your loved ones using objects in the physical environment that are symbolically, very important.
In this article, Karen T. Hluchan describes how some spirits can take a physical object, bring it with them to another dimension and then bring it back to the location and the person on Earth they “borrowed” the item from! I think that is fascinating. It’s commonly done with jewelry.
Here is another interesting article on telekinesis by Colleen Wynia. Her videos are good too. She mentioned that spirits are more likely to move objects as a way of communicating with a loved one on Earth if that person tends to be organized. I would put myself in that category as I tend to keep my home and rooms neat with things in a certain place. It’s very easy for me to notice something out of place, especially when I know I just put something in a particular location.
Conclusion
This story was a little difficult to describe, but I hope you were able to follow me. I know I repeat myself sometimes, but it is because I am trying to make things as clear as possible.
I also hope you were able to feel a little of the magic and wonder of Robin’s telekinesis vicariously!
It’s another good example of how loved ones in spirit use your everyday things to deliver a message.
The thing about Robin is, if he has a soul connection with you, he will really let you know it! You will know it’s him and there will be no doubt. He makes his presence perfectly clear.
Every day, I carry with me the messages that Robin gave me over seven years ago. That is how powerful afterlife communication is with him. I feel his love being sent from the other side and I love being able to share that with you, dear readers. That love is for you too!

Love,
This is the exact picture and frame Robin turned face down on his altar in 2013. He likes dogs too, so I got him one! 🙂
Just as the right side of the human body is always sending signals to the left side of the human body, I believe that twin souls are energetically conjoined and are always sending signals to each other, even when separated by continents and being completely unknown to each other.
We are always sending signals to each other even after death when residing on different planes of existence. The signals can become even stronger when this is the case. It can seem like your twin soul mate is following you or walking by your side even while they are in the afterlife.
Sometimes, the signals are sent through other people.
In the past, I have written about how characteristics of Robin show up in people around me (See Maying in December post). It is an incredibly interesting phenomenon and amazing to experience.
My personal experience is that when you have a twin in spirit, people on Earth can reflect some of their essence or very particular traits about them that really stand out. The miracle is that you can actually meet these people in the most unexpected ways.
Mirrored Life Stories
On June 24, 2019, my husband and I were driving on the interstate on the way to a dental appointment. But, we got a flat tire and had to cancel it. We called AAA for assistance. Instead of driving with a spare, we decided to be towed to our garage where we could buy a new tire.
My husband and I sat in the front seat with the tow truck driver. He was a nice guy and a good conversationalist. He started telling us stories about the different experiences he’s had as a tow truck driver. It seemed like he had some things to get off of his chest and I enjoyed hearing his stories.
Somehow, we got to talking about some of the other jobs and experiences he’s had in his life.
He talked about how he went through a divorce which was due in part to being away a lot working in the shipping industry. On one occasion when he came back, his house was foreclosed on. He said he did not see his children for 12 years, but has since reunited with them and even attended his daughter’s wedding.
As he was talking, alarm bells were going off within me. This story made me think of Robin. I felt like I was talking to him in another person because Robin’s life story has very close parallels.
I had read about Robin’s life story years ago and was aware of his divorce to his first wife and estrangement from his young children.
This gave me the opportunity to respond compassionately to this man in the way I would have responded to Robin had I had the opportunity to talk with him about this.
It was a rare and healing moment. It’s a perfect example of how a twin’s life story can show up in another person you are with. It may not always be the most positive of stories that you hear when it comes to your twin (or other loved one in spirit), but it will definitely be something that will get your attention.
I’m amazed by this because of all the tow truck drivers in the area, we met one with a very similar life story as Robin’s. He not only had the story, but was willing to share it. Or maybe there was some spirit orchestration going on there.
This may be a fairly common life story for many people, but I cannot remember anyone sharing a story like this with me in such precise detail.
I’ve never been grateful for a flat tire, but in this case, I was grateful.
Twin Soul Reminders: Four Key Factors
In case you are not familiar with how Robin’s life story matches our tow truck driver’s, I will outline this for you now. Then you will see why I felt like I was talking with him through this person.
There are four parallel factors that I would like to highlight. Please click on the links for more information about this aspect of Robin’s life story. I share these stories with no judgment on my part because I love Robin unconditionally as my spiritual partner and member of my soul family. Sometimes divorce is a part of life that hopefully the parties involved can grow and learn from.
I’m sharing the brief excerpts so I can demonstrate the parallels with the tow truck driver and why he reminded me of Robin:
These excerpts are from The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb.
Regarding Molly, Robin’s ex-wife:
On May 22, 1980, Molly told reporters, “I have hardly seen Robin for the past three years, and I have sadly come to the conclusion that our marriage is over. There is no one else involved, but there comes a point when a woman has to say she has had enough. I have filed for divorce and the papers are due to be served tomorrow. (1)
According to Tom Kennedy:
“Of course, he was away a lot of the time, and when they had the children, she brought them up on her own … The discipline came from Molly … because Robin would spoil them because he didn’t see them all that often. There were times when she was living in [England] and he was a tax exile. It was a difficult existence.” (2)
Here are some details from The Telegraph in a 2008 article by Olga Craig:
Before long the constant touring took its toll on Gibb’s marriage to his first wife, Molly Hullis, with whom he had two children, Spencer, 30, and Melissa, 28. Divorce was inevitable and Molly was granted custody of the children when they were six and four. She forbade him to see them. Gibb fought a lengthy, but ultimately unsuccessful, court battle and didn’t see his children for six years. (3)
From The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb:
Robin went on to reveal that a considerable financial burden had been placed on him over and above any emotional ones. Clearly hurt by the whole business, he explained that the money aspect was only part of his unhappiness, claiming to have seen his children Spencer and Melissa only once during a three-year period. “I have had to pay out at least £ 1 million, but there were other things, too, that destroyed me emotionally.” (4)
When our tow truck driver came home from being away at work, he found that his house had been foreclosed on. Robin went through a traumatic incident with his home upon returning as well. What the tow truck driver said reminded me of this, although the circumstances are different:
From The Ultimate Biography Of The Bee Gees: Tales Of The Brothers Gibb:
He (Robin) alleged that, with the knowledge of the local police, he and a private detective had broken into the couple’s Weybridge home the previous summer to get evidence of the purported conspiracy. Police confirmed that an incident was reported in August, 1980, in which he broke into his home after telling police that he needed to do this because he had no keys. “I got into the house by smashing a window…” (5)
For Robin and his children, this story had a happy ending as they were able to reconnect and create loving relationships with each other. This 2008 article from The Telegraph by Olga Craig goes into detail. Here is an excerpt mentioning their reconciliation:
Eventually, when Spencer was 12 and Melissa 10, he was granted a meeting. He knew it would be a delicate balancing act. ‘I was too nervous for tears,’ he says. ‘Re-establishing myself as their dad was slow and hard.’ The turning point came when the children would ring up saying they wanted to come and see him. ‘Then it got to the stage where they would just arrive unannounced, that was the best moment.’ (6)
Note: Just because I refer to an article here does not mean I agree with all of the opinions expressed in it. Some of the remarks made about the Bee Gees’ music are less than complementary and I don’t share the same viewpoints. I include the articles because they are references and provide the information I need to make my points. In this case, I could not find this information in any other location. The Daily Mail has information, but FYI, their site is infected with malware as of July 16, 2019, so I did not want to include their articles. Thank you for understanding!
You can see lots of pictures of Robin with his children here showing their reconciliation. I’m so happy that they reconciled, were able to be close and share their lives together!
Sometime Signs Are Not What You Would Expect
I had mixed feelings about writing this post because a part of me did not want to write about the more painful aspects of Robin’s life. But, it’s a good example of a strong reflection of him in another person, so I decided to share this in as respectful way as possible.
It’s also important to be real and show the truth of a person’s life, the ups and the downs. Robin went through a lot and you can feel the pain of what he went through in the above excerpts that I shared. It’s important to know who someone really is and what they’ve been through. This shapes who they are and how they interact with the world.
Our tow truck driver was certainly a reminder to me of what Robin went through. If you are following this website, it’s also good for you to know more about him as a person and what he went through personally (if you didn’t know already).
People in the public eye are human beings who go through hurt, pain and difficulties like the rest of us. The difference is they are going through it publicly with a great loss of privacy. That adds to the pain. That’s why I feel that fame is a double-edged sword.
Robin was living his life as best he could to serve humanity through his music. This was what he was meant to do in this life, along with his brothers.
There are so many pressures in the music business that I could not begin to imagine. Sometimes relationships and marriages don’t make it. If we could walk a mile in Robin’s shoes, maybe we could understand a tiny fraction of what it felt like. I realize I cannot know or fully understand.
Spiritual Twins: Different Lives
Even though I share numerous life parallels and synchronicity with Robin that cause me to feel twinned with him, my life is completely different from what his was like. It’s quieter and much more private. I would say we are on opposite ends of the spectrum in that regard.
I have no idea what it’s like to be in the public eye as a famous singer or in any other capacity. I have never gone through a divorce and I do not have children. I have traveled to several different countries over the years, but nothing on the scale of travel of what Robin experienced. I’m an introvert and like to be alone a lot, so I don’t think I’d do too well with being in the public eye. So, I just offer compassion, empathy and understanding to him.
Note: While I was just reading and editing the above text about how I’m an introvert, I heard my husband talking on the phone in another room telling someone that he’s kind of introverted! This type of synchronicity with Julian happens a lot when I’m writing for Robin. 🙂
Given how different our lives actually were/are, it’s amazing that I do share so many parallels and synchronicities with Robin that appear in my everyday life. Such is the nature of spiritual connections. They transcend earthly differences across all levels, time and space.
I believe that one of the reasons I have this soul connection with Robin is to share how two people, who appear extremely different externally, can match, mirror and synch up in ways that show we are one on a deeper spiritual level. This is a message that needs to be reinforced.
I feel that on this day in June, Spirit wanted to get a strong message across to me about Robin. I felt his presence there with me when we were in the somewhat scary situation of being stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire with cars going by at 80 miles an hour. It was nice to have a reminder of Robin’s presence. This is how our loved ones in spirit communicate. They mysteriously know how to show up in the right place at the right time through other people.

Love,
I understand that not everyone reading this blog has experienced an afterlife twin soul connection. So, I like to write about afterlife communication in a general way too so more people can benefit and relate.
The way I communicate with Robin falls under the larger umbrella of afterlife communication, so I don’t feel limited to talking about this only from the perspective of twin souls experiencing a cross-dimensional connection.
Closure? Not Necessarily
I still do lots of research on afterlife communication to keep my skills sharp. I often find new and interesting articles.
Recently, I was inspired by this article called 16 Tips for Continuing Bonds with People We’ve Lost. The website is called What’s Your Grief by Litsa Williams and Eleanor Haley.
I love this article because it is reinforcing what I’ve been sharing with Robin for 7 years. I actively practice many of their tips on a daily basis.
When someone dies physically, we don’t have to lose them completely by “moving on” or with so-called “closure.” I rejected that notion from the beginning of my connection with Robin, even though I did not have any models to follow.
Robin also rejected this notion of “closure” regarding Maurice’s death as you can see here on this episode of A Brush with Fame. He talks about this at 17:40 in to the video.
We can continue our relationship with our loved one after they die. Sometimes we might need a little help to know just how to do that.
Deceased Loved Ones You Did Not Meet
I took it one step further: we can build and create a loving, ongoing relationship with someone we did not know during our lifetimes if we can find each other after death and it is a mutual desire of both parties involved. Twin souls or soul mates who did not meet would fit perfectly within this category but this connection is not limited to this. It’s also possible to connect with an ancestor you did not know.
I always believed in life after death, long before Robin’s passing. What I share with Robin was much more complicated at first because we did not know each other. I had several extra hurdles to cross because almost all of the literature on afterlife communication focuses only on friends and family members that knew and loved each other.
They are basically saying that if you did not know the person, we don’t expect that you would be able to create a relationship with them after they die. However, this is extremely limiting in terms of who we are as spiritual beings. Do you really think that the only people you are connected to are the ones you know in this one lifetime? I know for a fact that for me, my connections go far beyond the very few people I am close to in this life. Thank goodness for that.
This article on grieving someone you didn’t know hits the nail on the head for me and is so incredibly validating.
It is a gem in a sea of literature that fails to acknowledge these real feelings very well. Most of the time, people are ridiculed for grieving for people they didn’t know, especially a celebrity. But, you can truly grieve the loss of what you never had the opportunity to have at all. The article explains this very well.
Lots of people grieve the deaths of famous people, and it’s not crazy. Are you grieving Robin Gibb’s death? How about Prince, David Bowie, or Robin Williams? Check out the comments on the link and you will see that a lot of people feel the same way and are quite open about it. I praise this website for normalizing this.
We Knew Each Other
But even for those who did know each other, the common directives given in the grief counseling literature in the past are about getting on with your life without including your loved one anymore.
Things are gradually and slowly changing. Continuing bonds theory suggests that we can continue our relationships with deceased loved ones and that it is a healthy, life-affirming way to grieve the loss of their physical presence.
It seems to me that afterlife communication and continuing a relationship with a loved one in spirit can help protect against complicated grief and bereavement.
It’s is my personal belief that the loss of a loved one is made even more deeply painful when a person has imposed upon them the belief that they should forget about or disengage from the ones they love. Society might give you a year to grieve, if that. Then after that, you are expected to “let go.”
You don’t have to. That depends on your relationship with your loved one. Are they visiting you in your dreams? Do you notice objects being moved that is out of the ordinary and relevant to them? Then, maybe they don’t want you to “let go.” Perhaps, they still want to be included in your life.
This does not mean that you won’t still feel sadness and grief over the physical loss of a loved one. It’s just that perhaps these feelings will not be as debilitating as they could be if you open up a dialogue with them.
When it comes to afterlife communication, it is also important to be aware of the effect we could be having on loved ones in spirit. Cordula Feuerstack wrote about this in her article, Language of the Heart.
Love and gratitude are inviting to our loved ones while other emotions may repel them. The article does not specify, but I would think that anger, resentment, hostility, or anything that is the opposite of love and gratitude could repel loved ones in spirit. If it doesn’t repel them, then these types of thoughts and emotions could have a negative effect on their spiritual progress.
So, I think this is good to keep in mind. We may need to do some healing work before we are ready for deeper afterlife communication, which is fine. You have a right to that after losing someone you love. There is nothing wrong with seeking grief counseling if you think it may help. There is also grief yoga which some of you may be drawn to.
Connecting with Robin in Faith
In 2012, when Robin passed, I had not read any of this type of information yet. I just knew I had to contact him and I was going to try my best to reach him with love and respect. I had to try and I had enough faith in his ongoing existence to do so. I didn’t say, “Well, he died, so I guess that’s it. I guess I should just move on and forget about him.”
How could I do that when he was popping up in my dreams? Trust me, I wasn’t going to forget about him. He wouldn’t let me forget him. He was just getting started and I loved it! Not only that, I felt too pulled and connected to him to “move on.” This was the first time in my life that this happened to me concerning a person that had passed away.
I know this is completely different from losing a child, parent, spouse, family member or friend that you love and actually shared life with on a daily or frequent basis. I too have lost family members and friends that I knew and loved. So, I know the difference.
Robin’s death became more painful for me after I came to realize he had been here the whole time and I missed his entire life.
I never saw a concert. I experienced nothing of him but CD’s and songs on the radio. But, that’s as it was meant to be. I write this with pain in my heart. Twin souls that met after the death of their twin may be able to relate to this, but I don’t expect that everyone will be able to. If you can, you have a very empathic, sweet, and sensitive heart!
I once opened up to a woman about Robin who told me that I share an uncommon bond of the soul with him. It says here that it is rare for someone who was famous to visit a person they did not know, after their death.
So, it may be that people in general won’t be able to relate to what I’m writing about here because it is not common. But, I am writing for a specific audience that I believe does understand me because you have had your own experiences or are open to learning about afterlife communication and twin souls.
Thank you for sharing this journey with me! I appreciate you. Maybe you see some of yourself in the things I write about.
Afterlife Communication: 3 Ways to Keep in Touch and Show your Love
I think a lot of us already know that we can keep in touch with our loved ones if we want to, but we are shamed in to not doing this because we think are supposed to “move on.” Well, it’s time to drop the guilt. We don’t have to live up to the expectations of a society that does not understand. Find the people who do understand, whether in person or online in a safe space. The What’s Your Grief website I have shared here is a great resource for this.
I have been inspired by this website to add 3 more suggestions to their list based on my personal experiences with Robin. Here they are:
1.Make a promise to your loved one…and keep it: A few months ago, I mentioned that I was going to have a colonoscopy. I promised Robin that I would because of his diagnosis with colorectal cancer. So, I did have my colonoscopy and had good results from it (one benign hyperplastic polyp removed, no sign of cancer). Why am I telling you this? For educational purposes. I know that pretty much no one wants to hear about this. But, the person that this blog is in honor of had health problems in this area, so I feel a responsibility to share what I know about this.
I don’t need another colonoscopy for 10 years unless of course I notice a health issue. It was a great relief to get it done and over with. I felt a strong bond with Robin after doing this and I’m so happy I kept my promise to him.
I know that what Robin went through with colon cancer must have been so scary for him. My heart still goes out to him strongly for what he went through. This is why I want to include this message about colon health here.
Did your loved one die of a particular illness? One way to connect with them is to take care of your health in that area. Did a close relative have breast cancer? Then one way to honor their memory could be to get regular mammograms. The promise can be anything you want, as long as you keep it. They will know!
2.Read something out loud to them while holding their picture: This ties into talking to your loved one out loud. I’ve done this with Robin since 2012 and I don’t feel the least bit embarrassed about it. It’s a wonderful and private way to connect.
I couldn’t spend time with him between 1949 and 2012, so I’m spending time with him now. This is how I do it. Missing his life has actually made me more determined to be with him now.
It helps that I have an altar for him with his photo and other items I have shown you in pictures on this blog. I also have other pictures of him I hold while praying or talking with him.
A few weeks ago, I decided to read from a book out loud to him called, Emmanuel’s Book.
I have had this book for at least 20 years. I love the kind wisdom expressed throughout the book. I had not read it in a very long time and thought it would be perfect to share with Robin.
I browsed through different chapters, sharing and reading about ideas on illness and healing.
Then I came to Chapter 3 on Love. I read the first two beautiful pages of the chapter and then I came to page 49 which is important. I read this to Robin:
Love requires no practice. Love is. One cannot practice is-ness. One can, however, practice the decision to love. (1)
This passage made me feel thoughtful as it brought back a memory of something Robin was once quoted as saying. I knew he said something similar about love. Reading Emmanuel’s Book to him brought me right back to his words. I found his quote in this article by Rosanna Greenstreet from The Guardian. Here is her question and Robin’s response:
What does love feel like?
It’s like trying to describe electricity or the colour of air. It just “is”.
It was so amazing that reading this book for the first time in many years led to this synchronicity with Robin. I loved that Emmanuel felt the same way he did and that I could share that with him! It was a nice moment.
It’s fun to read to Robin and even more fun to receive an unexpected mirroring. So, this is something else you could try with your loved one. Find something to read that you think they would like, maybe one of their old favorite books and see what happens! Robin probably knew that “Love is” message was there before I even read it! Spirits know things we don’t or don’t remember and can guide us right into the synchronicity.
Here is the picture of Robin I was holding when I was reading to him this page about how” Love is.”
A few hours after I wrote this section, I got an email from https://www.enlightenedmessages.com/ with my enlightened message for my soul. The message was:
Say “YES” outloud to your life Christina.
I love how the words “out loud” showed up again synchronistically. There’s something to be said for speaking what’s in your heart out loud. When it comes to afterlife communication with Robin, it’s my way of setting up a direct line of communication with him so he knows I’m speaking with him specifically. I pray first, hold his picture, and then call his name, “Robin Hugh Gibb.” That way, he knows that what I’m about to share is for him.
3.Create something handmade for their altar: I like to light candles on Robin’s altar and leave him tea. So, I made special coasters to protect his altar table. I bought some Mother of Pearl tiles, some DIY coasters and silvery paint. I painted the coasters and then glued the tiles on. I thought these would look pretty and be nice a complement to the beachy area we live in.
I have shared in a previous post how I created a banner of Robin’s songs behind his altar, under the window sill. This was in my Valentine’s Day post. You can see the coaster I made for him pretty well on the picture I shared of his altar.
Another nice idea is to buy something handmade for an altar space that would have special meaning to your loved one.
One day in 2018, I went shopping with my husband to an arts show where people were selling handmade items like jewelry, wind chimes and other art work.
I was drawn to one lady’s booth in particular. She had these beautiful rugs. I spoke with her for a few moments and she told me that the rugs were all hand-loom woven on antique looms. If you scroll all the way down to the About section at end of this page, you can see pictures of the artists and looms. Really cool!
That caught my attention because Robin’s ancestors from Paisley, Scotland were hand-loom weavers.
So, even though it wasn’t a Paisley shawl, I thought it would be a good addition to Robin’s altar and a nice way to acknowledge his ancestry. I like to give him things that are meaningful. You can see a picture of the rug under Robin’s altar at the end of this post.
I worked hard on this post, so I hope you enjoyed my suggestions and references!
I also hope that you have the opportunity to come up with your own ways of keeping in close touch with your loved ones in spirit.

I’m always sharing with you that I offer Robin tea and have lunch at his altar space to connect with him spiritually. So, I thought I would give you some information on the roots and foundation of this practice.
After reading many articles on how to connect with deceased loved ones and ancestors, I started bringing him tea offerings in 2012 as a way to bond with his spirit and allow him to get to know me.
This article, Five Ways to Honor Your Ancestors by Daniel Foor, is one of the best I have found in terms of discussing altar creation and making offerings to deceased ancestors (See section, Make Offerings to the Ancestors).
I highly recommend it. I found the suggestions easy to apply to my twin soul connection with Robin. It has informed me well over the years and taught me what I could do to create an everyday, ongoing relationship with him. It is possible to do this. If a particular spirit is your twin soul, then you may feel pulled to establish a relationship with them like I did with Robin.
Making tea offerings for Robin’s spirit on a regular basis keeps us close and connected. It’s one of my ways of sending him a message of love and support that is easy and affordable. Making this offering lets him know I am thinking of him and actively participating in our spiritual relationship.
It’s important to give your loved one something they would have liked and I was pretty sure he liked tea. Years ago, I read in my Bee Gees book that Robin and Dwina had garden tea parties at their home:
Robin and Dwina once again opened the grounds of their home, The Prebendal in Thame, for the Heritage Foundation with a summer garden tea party on July 17. (1)
In addition to offering him tea, I have also explored tea shops in countries that he loved. While sitting at his altar, I go online and research cute shops. I share with him what I find. Here is one on the Isle of Man. I wonder if Robin ever went there.
If it’s not too expensive, I might consider ordering some tea from Manx Tea and Coffee. It seems they ship all over the world. This is an example of a very special way to bond with a deceased loved one: connecting with a beloved country of origin through food or drink. Of course, you don’t have to do something like this, but if you can, I’m sure your loved one would deeply appreciate the effort you show to care for them in such a specific way.
By doing these things, I am treating Robin as a real and living spiritual being who is capable of being very well aware of what I’m offering him. Based on personal experience, I know that people in spirit are not sleeping all of the time. I believe there are times of rest, but Robin showed me that he is, at times, very active. He’s awake, alive, and alert in Spirit and he knows what’s going on with those closest to him.
Once you have the faith that a loved one in spirit can sense and connect with what you are doing for them, amazing responses back to you can happen. People in spirit are a lot smarter than people in physical bodies often give them credit for. Robin has shown himself to be highly intelligent and creative as a spirit and I have passed that information on to you in many of my blog posts.
Twin Soul Ancestor of Spirit
I consider Robin to be an ancestor of my spirit. A twin soul is a key member of your core soul family and one you are closest with in terms of spirit energy light. According to Sal Rachele in the book Soul Integration, twin flames (twin souls) are defined as:
The counterpart to your soul, that emerged from the oversoul at the same time as you did. The other part of your soul pair. Your “other whole” (as opposed to other half). (2)
A good metaphor for this is a pair of shoes. The right shoe is a whole shoe, but half of a pair that includes the left shoe. I’m a whole soul, but half of a pair that includes Robin. The larger soul family that we are a part of is also included.
It is possible to meet your counterpart after their physical death. That is what happened to me.
I bring him food and drink offerings the way that others would make offerings to deceased ancestors of their bloodline. However, it is my belief that ancestors are not blood relatives only. You could have soul family members that you have no blood relation to whatsoever. I’m certain that there are people adopted into wonderful families that would agree with this. What I am talking about here is the Spiritual DNA of our extended soul group. Astra Ferro writes about this here and gives a thorough and helpful explanation of this concept. It’s a good article.
This concept is also discussed here and encourages us to think in broader terms about who our ancestors are including and beyond bloodlines. In this article, the author is saying that our spirit ancestors have much to offer in the way of support for their relatives on Earth.
Due to my life experience, my point of view is that spirit is thicker than blood. Twin souls carry the same spirit energy. You can’t get much more familial or ancestral than that.
It is spirit energy in the form of light, vibration, colors and sound. It is very similar to the spiritual description of soul mates found here. (See entry for Courageous Souls by Robert Schwartz). Whereas soul mates have a very similar vibration, twin souls have a nearly identical vibration.
Benefits of Connections with Twin Soul Spirit Ancestors
Spiritual ancestral connections, such as twin soul connections, are often very beneficial for the one still on Earth. Some people assume that by communing with spirits, you are automatically communicating with an evil entity. That is not necessarily the case. I personally would not allow that in my life and I use spiritual protection daily. You have to test the spirit and see what kind of energy he or she is bringing into your life.
This website has very good variety in terms of prayers for protection from different faiths and traditions. I like to use a combination of different prayers to keep my requests for protection fresh and authentic. Prayers for protection are meant to be read from the heart and soul for a deeper effect.
So, what are some of the benefits? Since Robin’s passing, my relationship with God has grown much stronger. I am growing more conscious of my Oneness with God. I trust God and Spirit to be there for me much more than I used to. I have much more faith in the afterlife, where it is not just a belief, but a knowing.
I’ve studied and learned many prayers and mantras that I have offered him over the years for the healing and edification of his spirit. In the process, my spirit has been healed and strengthened as well.
Over the course of the seven years with Robin, I have lost weight that I have kept off. I’m not a vegetarian, but include lots of vegetables in my diet as inspired by his good example.
I also became a teetotaler. When I learned that Robin did not drink alcohol for a significant period in his life, I decided I wanted to be the same way. I didn’t want any substances to interfere with my connection with him.
All in all, he’s been a very positive influence. I’ve gone through a lot of purification with him being in my life.
All Robin has ever done is bring more love, intense learning, mystical beauty, and joy into my life. Through his presence, I have greater knowledge and awareness of the interactive nature of the unseen world around us. There is an unseen world filled with living spirits capable of engaging in intelligent, caring, 2-way communication with loved ones in the physical world.
It is a fact. I have seen it with my own eyes.
Part of my work with Paisley and Poppies is to show you that this is true. I have shared with you how over the years, Robin has left incredible physical evidence of his presence with me.
Conclusion
Since there is so much negativity, judgment, and fear when it comes to communicating with spirits, I wanted to be sure to report the positive experiences I have had in being connected with Robin.
I have been writing for over a year now and have over 100 posts that include dozens of supporting sources and references. So, at this point, people will either believe me or they won’t. I have done my best to share the truth of what I have experienced concerning Robin. I know some of you are with me and have had your own beautiful experiences with Robin and other loved ones in spirit.
Loved ones, twin souls, and ancestors in spirit keep trying to get through to us to let us know they still exist. It’s absolutely amazing what some spirits can do and I include Robin in this category. I feel the least we can do is to acknowledge, with gratitude, the signs we are given. It’s our responsibility to open our hearts, watch, listen and pay attention to what they have to say.
All my best to you and thank you for reading!
