Vision of a loved one before you pass?

Hi all

This is quite a difficult one for me to talk about I hardly have since it happened however I will, as it's been on my mind a while.

My father passed in 2005 and I was always skeptical of the afterlife and spirits etc back then, I was let's say un-educated. The relationship me, my bro and sister had with dad was always quite open and we would always talk about deep things like spirits, ufo's, planets, afterlife. He always used to say that he'd let us know if there was... He also went through a haunting ordeal himself years ago, and was quite adamant about it.

I have a very large family and through my mom and aunties/uncles they have experienced a few deaths and as a kid I would always hear things like..."oh she smelt flowers just before she passed" or, oh "he shouted out he could see Sid and then he passed"..that sort of thing, and I always used to think Pah like that happens.

Well, the night before my dad passed he looked gravely ill and me and my brother were doing the overnight stay with him as he was hospitalised at this point....We had took in a playstation to distract us as at times as it got real bad and we would have to let him rest so it helped take our mind off things. Anyway, we decided to go in the room and sit with him whilst he slept...My bro was at one side of the bed and I was at the other and we were just talking to each other about the playstation game we had just played and who was the best lol...so nothing like death was on our mind...anyway suddenly my dad sat up in the bed took one look over at me, turned and took one look to my brother on the other side...looked at the bottom of his bed and called out ""DAD"" ...I am being really genuine here when i say the room went freezing cold and this was in June, the curtains went weird aswell as though a window was open and they kind of got sucked into the window (none were open)it was like the room went static. We both shook with fear and ran out the room (Didn't deal with it well) it should've been a nice experience I guess.

I am not religious by any means however, this experience made me agnostic..I truly truly believe that there is something there when we pass maybe a creator or spirits etc but what... I have no clue, so I keep an open mind about it and one day will find out; I trust my dad as I had confirmation from him that there was his father present who come to collect him as he never regained consciousness after that and died not long after. He said before he'd let us know if there was anything, and he kept to his word.

Love you dad miss you loads xxxxxxxx

That is lovely thanks for sharing something so difficult. When my nan was very poorly she saw her passed over sister appear to her. She wasn't afraid. She jus very matter of factly said "my Pam's come to see me" and smiled her head off! I believe loved ones appear at times like these to ease any worries the person may have and in your dad's case, ease the transition into spirit.

It must have been difficult for you to share your experience and condolences on the loss of your father.

My friend, who was sitting with her mother who was gravely ill in hospital and very close to death, was very surprised to suddenly see her mother open her eyes, smile and say "Hello Mother, you're here, I'm coming........." Then my friend's mother passed away right after that.

My Dad told us that he had been chatting to his Mother not long before he died but we are unsure if it wasn't to do with the morphine he was on but I'd like to believe my Nan came back for him :)

When anyone is gravely ill they normally see family members coming to collect them.noone passes over on their own ,
my mother was in hospital she was really ill.i went with the rest of my family to see her I saw my brother standing in the corner waiting to take her the others wouldn't believe me, but I was used to that they wouldn't recognise my gift, there is no death only eternal life, they may be gone but they are only a memory away,

My father died nearly 30 years ago now. He died around 7 in the morning but all through the night (my mum said) he kept saying that his mother had come for him. He died at home and was on no drugs.
Something similar happened with my ex-mother-in-law. The day before she passed she was looking at and talking to people no-one else in the room could see. She was on morphine though so that might explain it.

That was really lovely to read, Thankyou so much for sharing with us.. :)

Both of my in laws and my Dad saw and spoke to loved ones who had passed, it gave them tremendous comfort before they to died. I believe morphine quiets the logical brain so the intuitive side is dominant. It's through the right brain and spirit heart we are able to experience miracles...

Isn't it comforting to know that when the time comes we don't have to walk alone but hold the hands of our loved ones to guide us?
