What if death isn’t the end? And what if love finds a way to reach us anyway? In this deeply personal episode of Contact, producer and co-host Roslyn Mugford shares her own story.
After the passing of her stepdad Jack in January 2024, Roz experienced something she still struggles to fully explain — a vivid dream filled with overwhelming love and what felt like an unspoken apology.
Hours later, she learned he had died during the night. What followed were moments that felt less like coincidence and more like connection: signs, synchronicities, and eventually, birds landing gently in her hand — just as they did when she was a child learning to feed them with him by her side. This episode explores shared death experiences, trauma and healing, karmic relationships, and the possibility that consciousness continues beyond the body. It’s a story about messy families, unresolved pain, forgiveness, and the quiet ways love may endure. Roz reflects on childhood memories of learning telepathy with her stepdad, growing up in a home shaped by both playfulness and abuse, and the complicated grief that comes when someone you loved — and were hurt by — leaves this world. At its heart, this conversation asks:
• Can trauma open doors to something greater?
• Do the bonds we form in life transcend death?
• And when signs appear, do we have to prove them — or is it enough to receive them?
Whether you interpret these moments as spiritual contact, the persistence of consciousness, or the healing power of the human mind, this episode is an intimate meditation on grief, awe, and the enduring force of love. If you’ve ever felt something you couldn’t quite explain after losing someone, this one is for you. Remember to be curious – the universe is bigger than we know!
