A cat staring at a corner, a dog suddenly becoming very affectionate… Animals react to things we don't always perceive: tiny noises, smells, changes in routine. Many also project a reassuring presence onto them, because the animal becomes an emotional conduit.
In any case, if your partner comes to cuddle up to you, take it as an invitation to slow down: it is often exactly what is needed in a comforting grief .
What if the real “sign” is what makes you feel good?
Ultimately, the most important thing isn't proving anything. It's recognizing what comforts you, stabilizes you, and helps you move forward. If these moments become overwhelming, distressing, or prevent you from living your life, don't hesitate to talk to a professional listener: grief is a journey, and you don't have to walk it alone.
Sometimes, love makes no noise: it simply slips into a detail and gently reminds you that you are not alone.
