Ever Give Birth to Your Grandmother?

I was wondering if any of you have had a strong intuition, dream, or idea that one of your children (in or already out of the womb) may have the neshoma of a deceased relative.

Do those of you who know about gilgulim think such a thing is possible?
Would it be possible for someone who has not been niftar for a year?

I also hears somewhere that neshomas with certain merit have some say in who their parents will be.

Would a neshoma ask Hashem to be born to their daughter or daughter-in-law, I wonder?

I really hope that all my deceased relatives are in Gan Eden.

And because you specifically asked Grandmother....Both of my grandmothers went through the holocaust....So I believe that Hashem has rewarded them immensely and they are in Gan-Eden.

then why does it become so important to name after people ... there must be something we don't know ...

Maybe some neshamas want to come back to do more mitzvos...Maybe they want an even greater connection to hashem through mitzvos done on this Earth so when they finally go to Gan Eden, it will be on a higher plane..

It is an interesting paradox... on the one hand, we hope they are in gan Eden...on the other hand, men wear tzitzit inside when they go to the ceremony out of respect for the dead who are pained about not being able to do physical mitzvos.

Dh says for the first year of life, souls come back to Earth every Shabbos and want to make kiddush, daven and do physical mitzvos...

Maybe it depends on how long someone has been niftar, and maybe this desire to come goes away.

For instance, my husband's father saw him becoming frum and wanted to learn more and do more before he died.

Food for thought...

Similar story about grandmother.

Sorry men wear tzitzit in when they go to the cemetary not ceremony...(I wish I could edit on this anon feature)

we names our dd after dh's great aunt who we were very close with (she never had children but was like their grandmother). his great aunt passed away while I was pregnant with dd. I also had the opportunity to name after my grandmother, who had passed away recently as well. but after dd was born there was something about her that we just knew she shared the same personality/neshama with dh's great aunt. dd is 10 months old and everyone says how similar her personality seems to be -- even at this young age.

I heard that all the neshama that were killed in the holacaust have to come down before moshiach comes, that's why we see so many twins and triplets nowaday...

getting spooky!!

no
But my father is convinced I "am" his mother. He also named me after her, and we have many similar physical, mental and moral traits. Crazy huh.

I learned neshamas tend to stay in the same families, so definitely

I know a girl, who was having trouble during labor and they weren't sure the baby was going to make it. In the same hospital on a different floor this girls grandfather was very sick. The end of the story is at the exact moment the little baby boy made its first scream was when her grandfather passed away. It makes you wonder if indeed hashem needed this mans neshama to create another human. This is a true story!!!!

I have a son, ( he should live and be well) who was named after his grandfather. odd thing about this kid, without ever knowing his grandfather, he has so many of his mannerisms. for example....when he was very small, he used to sit down with a sigh, and ask me for a glass of tea.....what 2 year old asks his mom for a glass of tea? what two year old uses the word "glass" instead of cup? my grandfather used to do the same thing. this kid also went into the same line of work as his grandfather, food, and like his grandfather would use his last dime to feed people who didnt have. like his grandfather, he has his own mind ( which drives me nuts occasionally.his sister, ( she should live and be well) we named after said grandfathers wife. she too has the wifes mannerisms.. and the two kids fight like an old married couple.
go figure.

With my first kids I felt like I was meeting them for the first time but with this past baby when they put her in my arms I had the most uncanny feeling that I already knew her. Its very hard to describe. I felt like I was being reunited with someone very close to me rather than meeting a new one.

We named our daughter for my husband's mother a"h - she is turning out to look EXACTLY like her - to the point where it is spooky - also a lot of mannerisms, personality traits are VERY similar - at least according to my FIL and dh. I never knew her myself, so I don't know if the last is maybe at least wishful thinking, but I can attest to the looks, since I've seen pictures.
