Siblings Recall Past Lives

Share Your Story: Past Life Memories Told by Children

From Veronica

About the Child

My daughter has always been a fun loving very talkative girl. When she was younger she was always asking questions and knew the answers to random facts. My son is a little cuddler. I call him my cuddle bug and one day when we were cuddling he told me this story, only halfway because he saw my reaction. I wish I could have held it in so he could finish but it was so shockingly similar to my daughter's story I couldn't believe it. They both are great fun kids but they no longer remember anything that they had said about their past lives.

Child's Past Life Memory Story

When my daughter was 4 years old I remember her saying this with a sad face. "I remember when Daddy was my baby and I was his Mommy and we were walking across the street and a car hit us and we died." She said it so matter of fact that I got my recorder and asked her to repeat what she just told me and she did. Then she said "I'm telling you the truth Mommy I wasn't dreaming I promise but now we are okay because we are together again Mommy." And she shook her head, yes, aha Mommy. I didn't know what to say so I called my Mom to tell her. Now my daughter is 14 and doesn't remember any of this she thinks it sounds weird. But now my son when he was 3 told me a similar story about me that he remembers when he was my Daddy but wouldn't repeat when I asked him again. He just laughed and then I knew there was something that happened in I guess a past life.

Advice

  • I think you should record them or write it down.
  • Treat it as you are lucky to experience this. I feel lucky to have heard it twice from each of my children.
  • Before I had my kids I remember in my early 20's we had a carnival at work in the middle of the cosmetics department. They hired a palm reader who told me that I would have a son and a daughter and that I would marry my high school sweetheart because we were together in a past life. I'm scared to think, but she was right.
