4 Year Boy Says He Misses His Old Mom

Share Your Story: Past Life Memories Told by Children

About the Child

My brother whom I have practically raised. He is seven years old now, I'm twenty-three. He told me about his past life when he was four years old.

Child's Past Life Memory Story

I remember my little brother would suddenly blurt out that he missed his old mom. He would repeat this several times during the week. I would ask him what happened to his mom and he would get sad and say that he missed his family, because they died in a fire. He remembered walking across the street as the house was burning. Coincidentally, a few months after that we had the fire department called because of a small fire that was contained to our boiler room and that boy was so traumatized he didn't sleep for days. Any beeping sound similar to that of a fire alarm and especially sirens or seeing police or fireman would scare him almost to death. At seven years old he has no memory of ever saying that to me, but occasionally he'll tell me that he can't wait for us to have a new family.
