-One day, I received a call from the police that divided my life into “before” and “after.” I was told that my wife had died in a car accident. Everything in our house reminded me so much of our old, happy life that I decided to move to another city and start from scratch. Months passed, and my daughter Hannah seemed like she was slowly starting to cope. But one day, when I was picking her up from school, she shocked me with her words: “Mom still ignores me.” I was so knocked off my feet that I hit the brakes out of surprise. I asked, “What do you mean, Hannah? Do you talk to her?” “Yes, every day,” Hannah said. “But she pretends she doesn’t know me. Mom cleans our school every morning when I get there.” When I tried to explain to her that her mom was in a better place now, she wouldn’t stop arguing with me. Hannah was so convincing that I decided to go to the school and see for myself what my daughter saw. I had no idea how much my life would soon change… Full story in comments!⬇️ See less

Michael, a single father, was raising his 8-year-old daughter Hannah alone after his wife, Simone, died in a car accident. Michael tried his best to fill both parental roles, moving to a new city to start fresh. Hannah seemed to adapt well, even excelling at school.

One day, Hannah told Michael she saw her mom at school every day. Michael was stunned. “But Mom still ignores me,” Hannah said sadly. Confused and worried, Michael decided to investigate.

The next morning, Michael accompanied Hannah to school. “There! Mom!” Hannah shouted, pointing to a cleaner who resembled Simone. However, when the woman turned around, it was clear she was a stranger. Hannah insisted she had seen her mom before.

To understand Hannah’s claims, Michael took her to a psychologist. “Hannah genuinely believes she sees her mother at school,” Dr. Stevens said, advising Michael to support and believe his daughter during her grieving process.

The next day, Michael found a woman at school who looked exactly like Simone. She introduced herself as Evelyn and had no memory of her past. “I don’t remember any of that,” she said softly. Michael, realizing she was his wife, invited her home.

Simone began adjusting to life with Michael and Hannah. One day, she said, “I think I remembered something.” Slowly, memories resurfaced, and they started rebuilding their lives together.

“Do you think we could enroll her in an art school?” Simone asked, supporting Hannah’s dream. Michael agreed, feeling hope and happiness returning to their family.
