The Moment of Death

[PurpleMist]

Thank you for your replies so far. I am intrigued and I suppose that I'm just thinking about this as my Grandmother only just died, but she 'decided' to go as was refusing all food and water, almost as if she had had enough.
Love and light

When my young wife died from diabetic complications I wasn't allowed in the ER.
I saw her wheeled out , and she quite obviously had a smile on her face.

My minister said this wasn't uncommon, according to nurses she knew.
Those who were relieved-unafraid to go home.

Sorry Henri, for the loss of your young wife. That smile must have been something to cherish!

I didn't want to see-remember her as a lifeless body, so i was simply leaving the hospital,after told of her death, but something made me turn and look back as she was wheeled out of the ER.

I wanted my last memories to be of her when alive.
We both knew her-our time was limited when we married.

Both Kris & my Mom suffered from difficult illness, both died suddenly , and both were spared suffering by the gift of transition.

I was shaken by the traumatic separation for a while.... I fasted a month
Though when my Mom died (I was 17) I never sensed any loss, as I feel she helped me comfort my father.

I prefer not to dwell on this aspect of their-our lives, but felt it'd benefit this discussion.

My Mom passed over a week and a half ago. She, also, refused to drink or eat or take any of her medications. I don't think she chose to die --- I think her spirit was strong but her body had just worn out. Once your body starts shutting down, you no longer want to ingest anything at all.

My Mom was in a coma-like state the last two weeks and appeared to be communicating with someone. In fact, her gestures indicated that she was fighting someone off --- as if she wasn't ready to go yet. My Dad and son and I told her it was ok to go and that we loved her and that we'd be ok. She died 2 days later.

From what I've read, you are met by your loved ones and escorted to another dimension. So I like what someone else said about "a seamless transition". I think what happens is that your spirit leaves the body at the moment of death and it must feel like you're breaking out of a cocoon to fly away.

My dreams are that it feels, like drowning-stopping breathing and the warm feeling of being back to something familiar, and when I experienced this (very ludicly) in a dream it felt like going back to what I'd always known (if that makes sense???). Going back to source is how i feel it?? Am I rel;iving my dream as comfort for my Grandmother - am I going mad ????

I wonder if you might have actually died by drowning in pastlife, and are reliving this ?

That'd be my guess. Or like sleep apnea, when breathing becomes obstructed, while asleep. many have left this way, I take it.

I'm not quite sure what happened to me. It was years ago when I was pregnant with my son. But it came on quickly. I literally saw the faces of all those who were dear to me flash quickly in front of my eyes. I remember a tunnel like something and could hear what I can only describe as being a choir of angels. Unearthly, yet beautiful voices with no words I could catch. I too saw a bright light and then poof.....found myself on the bed with my husband standing over me, trying to revive me. He said I just jerked and fell out on the floor. ???? Have no idea what happened, but it was so beautiful and peaceful, all of it. Think it traumatized him way more than it did me.

Well what you describe sounds like a genuine NDE, near death experience.
( since you knew the faces)

who can say "why" it occurred, medically...

I ask, as my Grandmother passed away 2 weeks ago, she was in pain and seemed to make her own decision to go (refusing all food and water and medication).

I am a bereavement counsellor so have much experience of working with bereaved clients but they very rarely speak of the moment of passing. Now I write all this I am unsure of why I am writing it, as I believe in an afterlife (Spirituality) but this has come up for me so would appreciate and learn from additional views.
Thanks, Purple Mist XXXXXXXXXXXX

Too be honest we only find out when we die if we die I think that when this body dies we just skip into another frequency parallel universe without realising we may have died. We may have died countless times already.
