  My &nbsp;teenage son has terminal cancer. &nbsp; I need to hear this stuff.<br><br>EDIT. &nbsp;My son died yesterday, &nbsp;August 26th. &nbsp;He went peacefully in his sleep. &nbsp; Since his type of cancer spread and made organ donation impossible, &nbsp;we have approved the hospital to take the affected organs for testing and research. &nbsp; Hopefully, &nbsp;another family will never have to go through this hell.

  Nearly four years ago my wife died of ovarian cancer ! She vomitted fiercely , and then fell asleep and &nbsp;just stopped breathing ! Days after whilst she was in the &nbsp;funeral company morgue waiting to be cremated &nbsp;I felt someone pulling at the bed clothes violently &nbsp;trying to get in bed with me ! &nbsp; It terrified me and I started going to bed at 2 in the morning &nbsp;!!! &nbsp;A few days later I was woken up by the violent shaking of the bed ! After weeks after that I felt her plonk herself on the side of my single bed ! &nbsp;You cannot see anything but only feel her ! &nbsp;I stopped being scared and I greet her.. Now I feel a pressure on the bed clothes that suddenly disappears and other times she will lie down by my side ! &nbsp;Before all of this if someone had told me a similar story I would have told them to stop talking nonsense ! &nbsp;And when she comes she often bangs something like the light next to my bed to get my attention ! &nbsp; I know when it is going to happen before it happens and often I go cold ! &nbsp;I moved house from the house where she died but she is still comes and I welcome her ! &nbsp;I should also say I have her ashes in my bedroom ! &nbsp; She loved me and I adored her ! She was the most beautiful person I ever met inside and outside and I have never recovered from her death and never will ! We were married very happily for 35 years ! The happiest days of my life !!!

  Twenty three years ago, I woke at 4am to vivid dreams of my grandmother. &nbsp;I could smell her cooking, her jean nate&apos; body colon, and her rose bushes that lined her drive and bloomed every summer. I could hear her deep laugh she used to use when pretending to be the big bad wolf and the creak of the carport swing, where she used to rock me for hours with my head in her lap and no words were necessary. &nbsp;It was so incredible, I got up, went to my computer, typed everything out and went back to bed. &nbsp;On my way to work the next morning, my aunt called to tell me my grandmother died at 4am. &nbsp;I knew that experience was her way of telling me one last time how much she loved me and I know I will see her again.

  My father died very unexpectedly. He was the rock of our family. We had the funeral. I was very worried how my mom would handle it but she did great. I have three brothers and I am only girl. I am not the type to speak to a crowd, but I did. When we went up to casket to say our last goodbye, my mom was on side of me. They were talking and I was staring at my dad. All of a sudden, I said it looked like………before I could finish my sentence, my mom said he raised his left eyebrow. &nbsp;I couldn’t believe it. I kept asking, mom you saw it also? I knew she had because she finished my sentence. She wasn’t the type to talk about things like that. She said it was like he was telling us he was proud of us. That will stay with me for life.

  I’m a retired geriatric nurse. LOVED it. Another nurse and myself were pulling up a patient in bed. This patient was religious. She wasn’t actively dying but we knew it wouldn’t be very long due to her condition. Suddenly the patient raised her arm and began to wave her hand at the corner of the ceiling and wall. When asked who she was waving at she said it was her husband and her mother. She had the biggest smile on her face. She was so excited to see them. Two days later she died. This story was told to her family and was repeated at her funeral. GOD BLESS HER SOUL

  In 1984 at the age of 19, in the wake of being blindsided while on my motorcycle I had a NDE that included, like so many, a time out of body. I don’t know if I left my body upon the initial collision that rendered me unconscious or if it was after landing on the chin guard of my helmet after sailing 45’ as if launched from a cannon. There were no accounts of my heart being stopped for a specific time by EMT’s on the scene or during transport to the hospital. I did not witness any bright light or see any deceased family or friends, I did see and feel an increase in elevation as I looked down upon the scene from above. There was also a tremendous sense of detail - such as others have mentioned - I noticed a chip of paint missing and what appeared to be rust in one of the corners on the top of the ambulance. I saw this as I was ascending in a clear blue sky that eventually turned to black with what appeared to be stars all around, I could hear no sound and recall a tremendous sense of peace. I have no doubt that some are brought back from the brink by medical attention, in my case I believe it was a single thought. While in the glittering darkness, I began to hear voices and without feeling as if I was falling the black around me turned to a light gray and at this point off to the north I noticed a swirl of what looked like smoke rings. The view below changed and I could tell I was drifting toward the rings and once again I was surrounded by clear blue, felt as if I was leaving with no desire to return. At this point my experience became a little unusual - for years my Mom had a police scanner and whenever she’d hear an ambulance being called she’d be worried it was for someone in the family, whenever I heard her doing this I’d tell her that she shouldn’t have the thing if it was going to scare her every time it went off. This particular morning in May, it was for someone in the family. As I was drifting, moving on in peace, below I saw my body being loaded into the ambulance and next to the door stood my older brother and my Mom. The accident had happened just a couple miles from her home - the last of my experience was the thought “this is going to kill Mom” and then I felt and heard a tremendous THUD, suddenly I was looking up at the EMT’s as they loaded me into the ambulance. I’ve done my best to care for my Mom ever since and the NDE did something else, it instilled in me a deep inner need to “pay back” for my second chance. I’m a musician by trade and on a regular basis I work with others to help raise awareness and funds for humanitarian efforts while also promoting emerging artists thru a not-for-profit social enterprise called A4H (tm) Arts4Humanity. I know many others have this same desire following a NDE - it makes you realize what’s important and what isn’t and it’s a shame it takes something so drastic to increase the desire to better serve humanity.

  My granddaughter was born 3 years after my dad passed away. She’s almost 5 and often talked about her papa and that he tells her stuff. She has a journal that she wrote in the things he asked her to do. She knows stuff about my dad that none of us have ever talked to her about. I know he talks to her ❤

  The day my Grandfather passed away, I was standing at the foot of his bed when he suddenly sat up in his bed with his arms outstretched like he was reaching for me. The whole room &apos;Gasped&quot; but I just stood there in awe and amazement, because he had the look of EUPHORIA on his face- I remember thinking he is not looking at me but right through me and then I froze with thought. My Great Grandmother is standing behind me, His mom came for him. My Mom layed him back down in the bed, she said she saw tears streaming down his face. Then he took his last breath. You see my Grandfather was orphaned during the 1918 flu. He lost his mother, father, sister, brother and Grandfather and grew up in an orphanage. I remember him showing me a picture of his Mom that he got from a cousin of his when he went to visit him when he was 1st DX with prostate cancer. I remember him telling him how much this picture meant, because he had forgotten what his mom looked like. I remember my 1st impression when he showed me the picture of his Mom which was: They didn&apos;t smile in picture back in the late 1800 and early 1900s. The day was Grandpop was buried I went to the picture of his mom (my Great Grandmother) to say... I know it was you who came for him, but I didn&apos;t get any words out, because again I was stunned with awe and amazement. She was smiling in the picture. &nbsp;A few days later, I had to make sure it wasn&apos;t a Mona Lisa effect and I walking back &amp; forth, looking at this pic at every angle, but was confused not even a slight smile. Then all the sudden I heard a voice from the other room.. It was my Mom saying &quot;She is not doing it anymore, I already checked&quot; -My Mom saw her smile too. My Mom &amp; I hugged and cried. It was a beautiful gift.

  When I was pregnant with my 2nd child my Aunty who I was very close to &amp; <br>she couldn’t have children died at 50yrs from pancreatic cancer. I was an absolute mess. About a few days after her funeral on a cold rainy night while sleeping next to my husband I heard my name being called out. I looked up &amp; at the end of my bed was my Aunty glowing &amp; smiling dressed in a while gown &amp; said to me don’t be afraid I’m finally happy now &amp; not in pain. I had never seen her so happy cause she suffered bad depression. She was so beautiful &amp; at peace.

  Four months after my mother passed in January 2021, I had a deep REM dream where she appeared to me, very radiant and healthy looking, she communicated with me telepathically, I woke up shortly after and I felt at peace, knowing that she was with God
