I know it sounds fanciful, but today I visited my husband at the lovely medieval churchyard where he is buried. I have been asking for a sign over the last few days, as I have been missing him so terribly. When I arrived, there was a single white feather on his grave. Can anyone explain that ?

Hi Kate!

I think feathers are a good sign. Supposed to be a sign that a lost loved one is nearby as with robins too seemingly. I usually find feathers on the ground if I am out walking the dog or if I am out the back hanging out a washing. White feathers seem to be good luck and of course the presence of a deceased loved one. I have looked up the significance of feathers online sometimes I see black ones and I worry when I see them because I always think that is some kind of bad luck but seemingly all feathers are lucky if you see them but I'm more inclined to go with the white ones. Maybe your hubby `visiting` you when you were visiting him.
