How Butterflies Show Up After A Loved One Crosses

If you recall, after losing a loved one or a cherished friend, you had a butterfly fly over to you to visit; you may have found it strange and comforting. That is because, after someone you love or care about passes, the butterfly becomes their messenger to you to let them know that they are doing okay and living on the Other Side. And when you think about how you feel when that butterfly visits you, you will feel a sense of comfort and calm, which is your intuition picking up the message from the deceased, as they tell you that they are doing well where they are, in the other realm.

What Does It Mean When Butterflies Visit After A Loved One Passes?

Many people know that the spiritual meaning behind the butterfly means transformation and rebirth, and that is why butterflies are chosen as the messengers from your loved ones and friends beyond the veil to let you know that they have not died; they have only transformed from being in the physical to the spiritual realms. Butterflies transform through a metamorphosis as they become butterflies after their infant caterpillar stage.

Will a butterfly suddenly fly over to you in the middle of winter if your loved one passes during the fall or the winter? If you live in a colder climate, no, as they are hibernating. However, butterflies will come to you differently if it happens during the coldest time of the year. You may dream about butterflies, which would be your loved ones and friends from the Other Side letting you know they are okay unless they decide to visit you in the dream themselves. Or, the symbol may come to you in other ways.

For example, you may walk into a clothing store, and the first thing you see is a pajama top with butterflies. Yes, your loved ones on the Other Side are letting you know they are okay. You may also see butterflies on TV. Therefore, the butterfly does not have to visit you when your deceased loved ones and friends want to message you during the winter or the fall. Anything you encounter with butterflies, whether it is Thanksgiving, around Christmas, or Valentine’s Day, is relevant.

However, during the spring and summer, you will likely have a butterfly land by you when your deceased loved ones and friends are messaging you.

How Does The Caterpillar Transform Into A Butterfly?

When you see those tiny fuzzy caterpillars slithering on tree branches, railings, decks, patios, or grass, you may find it hard to believe and confusing how these creatures can become beautiful butterflies. You may have learned what happens during the caterpillar’s metamorphosis in science class. However, life gets you busy, and you will quickly forget those details, so let’s talk about that now.

What happens is that, eventually, the caterpillar enters the cocoon phase, and that is death. Enzymes that emerge during the cocoon phase decompose the caterpillar while it transforms and restructures itself. Finally, after the restructuring and transformation, the gorgeous and colorful butterfly emerges. That is why the butterfly is the symbol of death and transformation.

You cannot find a better symbol for that, and there are likely some tarot decks with butterflies on the Death card, as that card symbolizes everything that the butterfly does, which is transformation. With transformation, there will be endings so that new beginnings can happen. But, unfortunately, when it comes to your deceased loved ones and friends, they shed their physical bodies and are now in spiritual bodies residing in another realm.

You may wonder about something else regarding receiving visits from butterflies: the colors. Why would you receive a message from a blue butterfly after your beloved grandmother passed, and your friend told you she received a visit from a red butterfly after her father passed? The colors signify meaning as the deceased’s messages can be specific, going beyond letting you know that they are visiting you.

What Does The Message From The Blue Butterfly Mean?

If you are feeling down and having a difficult day because you are missing your loved one or friend, you may see a blue butterfly appearing, whether it flies and lands by you or you encounter one. The blue butterfly is the messenger that your loved one or deceased friend sends out to remind you that they are with you, they are safe, and it is one to encourage acceptance of where they are now. The blue butterfly reminds you that they have transformed from the physical to the spiritual. Now, let’s look and see what the green butterfly means.

What Does The Message From The Green Butterfly Mean?

That is a message of so much hope and a lot of joy. So…
