MARY BETH SPANN MANK SHARES 50+ WAYS TO SHOW LOVE TO YOUR PARTNER IN SPIRIT
"So often when a romantic partner or spouse dies, those “left behind” are desperate for signs that assure the connection continues. I know that’s how I felt back in 2016 when my beautiful husband, Paul, died from pancreatic cancer. The good news is that while waiting for signs from them, we can also deliver signs to them! I first heard of this brilliant idea from William Murray. William and I co-founded the “Love After Life” Facebook Group for people whose partners have passed and who want to continue and deepen their loving relationships with them.

William pointed out that since any transdimensional romance is similar to an earthly romance, we can easily send signs as well as receive them. Thanks to William, I began preparing two cups of coffee each morning; one for me and the other for my Paul. Over time, I’ve dreamed up many additional ways to offer Paul signs of my love.

For our FB group this past Valentine’s Day, I generated and posted a list of more than 50 loving signs we can send to our most precious spouses and partners on that special day. But the ideas here can be used to keep romance alive any day of the year—and many can be modified for use when expressing love to any dear one who passed."
