Discovering Signs
& Finding Peace After Loss
A Mother’s Journey Through Loss, Love & the Signs That Followed
When Maria Abbati lost her 21-year-old son, John, in the Spring of 2020, grief became her new normal. What she didn’t expect was the powerful shift in awareness that followed. Signs—small, meaningful, impossible-to-ignore—began appearing throughout her days.
Looking back, Maria realized these signs had been quietly present since childhood. But John’s passing awakened a deeper sensitivity. Every feather, number sequence, dream, or moment of synchronicity began to feel purposeful… as if John was guiding her toward peace and understanding.
In I Can Hear You With My Heart, Maria shares the profound connections that exist beyond physical life. Her story is not just about grief—it’s about an unbreakable bond between a mother and her son, a love that continues to speak in beautiful, unexpected ways.
“Even though he’s not here physically,
John is still right beside me… he is everywhere.”
