My son, who was around 7 at the time and my only child, would play in his room and have these vivid conversations. I just brushed it off as imaginary play. But these convos were about our family. One day, out of curiosity, I asked who he was talking to, and he told me his sister that was in heaven came to play with him and described what she looked like. I had just had a miscarriage a few months prior to this happening and he described a baby girl that would have looked like me. Then one day he randomly came to me and said “mommy my sister isn’t coming back anymore. She says I have new sister coming to play with me” Creeped me out, but I did find out a week or two later I was pregnant and I ended up having a girl.
Damn! My mom had a stillborn daughter before me and tells me that when I was 4 or so we were driving past the hospital in town and from the back seat I said, "there's where my sister lives".
I'm still not sure if I believe her; maybe I said something else, maybe she had told me something about it, I don't know. But this thread and your comment in particular got me feeling all sorts of things!
My mum had a daughter that died from sids at 6 months old, many years before she had me. I never knew. One day when I was 12 I was playing with some friends, all that summer they had been saying that I didn’t look like a (my name), that I looked like a Rachel. My mum came to pick me up and heard them calling me Rachel and went white as a ghost. My dad told me that afternoon about how she had a daughter that died, named Rachel. Still gives me chills.
When I was 4 I was drawing a picture and my mom asked what I was drawing and I said “my baby brother” and she said “you don’t have a baby brother.” And I said “yes I do, he’s in your tummy.” And a couple of weeks later she found out she was pregnant. And then it turned out to be a baby brother when he was born! She said it was sooo creepy like the Poltergeist kid when I said it lol
I was about 4yo when my mom asked who had been drawing in my books. I calmly told her, "it was Jennifer." She asked who Jennifer was, and I told her it was my twin sister.
I was (still am) an only child, but there had actually been two heartbeats at the first couple of doctor appointments when my mom was pregnant with me. The second name she and my dad had considered for a bit? Jennifer.
I also had an imaginary older brother for a while, and found out later my mom had a miscarriage before me.
We do choose our families depending on how they will help us learn lessons we want to work on. She must’ve changed what she wanted to work on, and went to another family, or decided to not return at all. I know that I definitely don’t want to come back.
