600. OF DEATH AND DYING, NEAR DEATH, TELEPATHY
As a trauma nurse in surgery, a patient had a ruptured anneurysm, and wisked off to the OR for emergency surgery. I was in the adjacent hallway watching through the window alone, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder, so I telepathically connected with the source of the tapping on my shoulder. It was the soul of the man who was receiving emergency surgery. The surgical team was resusitating him, I spoke with the patient and reassured him that all was well and that if he chose to go back to his body, for the team was doing everything they can to assist in his survival. He did go back to his body and the surgery continued.

357. OF DEATH AND DYING, NEAR DEATH
As a paramedic I deal with on scene death every so often. Ever since I was a teenager and there was a death of a loved one or someone I came in contact with on the ambulance. I usually have a dream of them crossing over with the help of someone. Only one of my patients I had no dream of.

19. OF DEATH AND DYING, PREMONITION
I received word that my maternal grandmother was hospitalized. Of course, I went immediately to see her. When I asked what was wrong with her, my mother said she didn’t know. Grandmother would accept food from no one but me. I developed feelings about her ill health. “Lung Cancer, this is what’s wrong with her”, I explained.
Of course, everyone told me I was insane. Didn’t matter because I knew. My mother was so tired, so I convinced her to go home with me for a few hours to rest. But, within 1.5 hours, I was struck by the appearance of a clock, and told my mother – we had to go back NOW. She wouldn’t budge. Finally I told her that her mother would pass at 2:36 p.m., and tried everything to convince her. Finally I left without her.
I didn’t want grandmother is die alone. When I entered the room, I felt that “others were near”, held her hand, and told her that my mother wasn’t coming, and it was o.k. to her to go into the light. She grabbed my hand tightly and I felt her spirit left. The time? 2:36 p.m.
Later that same night, my boyfriend started looking at my strangely. He explained that a warm beautiful white glow surrounded my shoulders and head. I was comforted by this, but perplexed also because he didn’t believe in the things I did. My mother ordered an autopsy – cause of death. Multiple Organ failure due to Lung Cancer.

In 1980 my mother-in-law was diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia, in … mum passed over. On that day I was sitting in her hospital room with her son and her sister (…), her son … was on a chair next to her bed, … was in a chair in the corner of the room and I was sitting on another chair behind …, He was watching the T V in the room, … had fallen asleep and mum was in a coma and had been for about a week.
I realised that I could no longer hear the noise in the room from the TV nor could I hear the noise from outside the room, usual hospital activity noise, then I heard a slight buzzing sound and looked at mum, she had opened her eyes and was staring at the corner of the room at the ceiling, she smiled, raised her hand towards that area, then closed her eyes and stopped breathing, then a yellowish soft glow/light appeared around her body, slowly the light started to lift and I could see mum in the light raising up with it but her body was still on the bed, I saw her float to the top corner of the room reach out her hand then another hand grasped hers and she left. the buzzing stopped, the noise came back and I grabbed nurse to tell her that mum had gone, which she had. About 5 months after that I saw her standing in our hallway surrounded by the same yellow glow. Hope that describes it enough, tried to keep it short for you.

1200. OF DEATH AND DYING, NEAR DEATH, PSYCHIC KIDS
I was ‘visited’ by my great grandmother upon her death. I knew exactly who she was, and she sat on the end of my bed and just looked at me smiling. I did not know until a very long time later that she had died, I was 4 but remember it clearly to this day.

1073. OF DEATH AND DYING, PREMONITION
I was driving to the hospital late (12:15am or so) to visit a dying aunt (Favorite aunt). When I got within a block of the hospital I was overcome by a feeling that she didn’t need me anymore. She was in a better place and that me going there would simply hurt.
I turned around and returned home and went to bed. The next morning my uncle and cousins were sitting at the kitchen table and announced that my aunt had passed away at about 12:15am that morning. I suddenly had the feeling she was the one who told me not to go to the hospital.

My parents got a divorce and my father passed away when I was very young.
I remember thinking “they said my dad is dead. What does that mean, and what is death?” Trying to understand I thought, Will he come and take us next weekend like every weekend? No he is dead. What about next weekend? No. In two weeks? No. In a month? No. In a couple months? No. Ever? No he is dead.
All I wanted was to see him one last time. I prayed and asked God to let me see my dad just once. One last time and I would never ever ask for anything ever again.
Hi Kilee, I get such a feeling of unrequited love and sadness when I read your posting.
Did the God/Goddess answer your prayer and let you see your Dad one more time, and if it was delivered, did you keep your end of the bargain and never ask for anything again?
There are lots of folk tales of people making pacts with both good and bad entities and I would never recommend it.
If you still feel the urge or need to contact your Dad, try to resist it.
The reason I say this is because you may be exploited by unscrupulous “psychic” practitioners and if it is meant to be, just thinking of him will bring him nearer to you in spirit.
If he has moved on, you said you were very young at the time of his passing, then perhaps you will not get your wish to see him again, but be assured, if your connection is deep enough, there will be a meeting of minds and he may guide you in ways of which you are not aware.
Think of him with love and not sorrow. Make him proud of you and who knows what the future will bring for you.
Love and Light, Anne.
Oh Kilee
Your message is so heart wrenching.
Your father may not have come to you in the way you wanted but if you read around this site you will see many reported instances of normal people going about their everyday lives being visited by loved ones.
Of course, we dont know why or how this happens. Hopefully one day we will unlock all the secrets of here and there.
In the meantime, many here talk about talking to the deceased – they do hear us even if its a one way communication.
Take care.

Hi Rosemary,
This account of the glow at death was interesting and I could relate to some features of the account (particularly the later vision).
I notice that many people talk about the dying person looking at the corner of the room.
My baby daughters also did this soon after birth.
It was very obvious – not just look up, but looking at the corner of the ceiling.
There was a definite sense of otherworldliness in their early days.
Sleep deprivation was probably a contributing factor, but not in the sense of hallucinating – more that I was in an altered state of some sort.
Just a thought.
Regards Poppy
Hi Poppy
Thanks for entering the discussion.
I must admit I hadnt thought of drawing parallels between the newborn’s experience and the departing soul. But why not?
Life is certainly not a matter of here and over there – and both of these worlds continue to merge for some people while here on earth.
My feeling/memory of coming into this world was one of shock and regret and so maybe it was that I continued to remember, even experience the world I left behind?
Cheers
Rosemary
PS My eldest daughter was en unplanned Caesar and she was also a jaundiced. Her energy was so strong that she blew the lights on two cribs before they could stabilize here. (I found myself explaining to her what was happening and why and asking her not to fight the light but go with it and… she seemed too – well the lights in the third crib werent blown
I heard this man speak a couple of weeks ago. I reprint this outstanding description of essentially what I heard….
Eben Alexander III, MD, has been an academic neurosurgeon for the last 25 years, including 15 years at Harvard Medical School. He dealt with hundreds of patients suffering from alterations in their level of consciousness, none of whom was able to provide much insight concerning their experience.
In the predawn hours of November 10, 2008, he became a comatose patient. For reasons still obscure, he was overcome by bacterial meningitis, rendered comatose on a ventilator in the ICU within hours.
His physicians were stunned to find that the culprit was E. coli, which never causes memingitis in patients over 3 months of age unless they were infected in a neurosurgical procedure (which he had not been).
After 6 days on triple antibiotics, showing no response, with little neurological function remaining, his physicians had few words of encouragement for his family.
On day seven, he opened his eyes, to the surprise of all! However, his earliest recollections were strange and involved no recall of his life before coma. Like a newborn, he had no functioning language, nor knowledge of this world, our culture or loved ones surrounding him.
Memories from the time in coma were inexplicable. The purest and most extraordinary part of his journey happened deep in coma. His entire neocortex, that outer surface of the brain that makes us human, was totally disengaged by the meningitis.
How was it possible for that rich experience to originate in his brain?
His story offers a critical key to the understanding of consciousness, spirituality and human existence. The human part of his brain, the neocortex, died for a week.In the midst of that, he had an extraordinary experience that could not have occurred in his brain, given our current understanding of neuroscience.
The implications are mind-boggling!
In analyzing the scientific possibilities and grand implications, he sees a more complete reconciliation of modern science and spirituality as a natural product. He has been blessed with a complete recover, and is now writing a book about his most powerful, life-changing story.

This seems a fascinating story. Please tell us more about what he said of his experience.
In the meantime, with the information you have given me Ive Googled this:
Hi Rosemary,
Yet another book for me to read.
As you already know my thoughts on life after death, I hope I am not repeating myself when I tell Poppy and Bill of my personal experience on the passing of some of my family members. I probably wrote my experiences in my response to your long survey.
Before my mother died after being semi comatose for a week, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked surprised to see me. I told her everything was alright and her parents were waiting for her. She put her hand on my head and I calmly waited for her to leave her body. I was not aware of any lights except for the happy face she had, caused by what ever it was she saw behind me.
I had felt compelled to tell her what I did but the thought was only in my head. There was nobody else in the room at the time.
Sometime later, possibly months, I was awoken by a rhythmical tapping on my Victorian styled iron bedstead. My mum had been a dancing teacher and as I realised after a few minutes of listening to the beat that it was not caused by any movement of the bed. I said thank you to her for contacting me from the spirit world and the tapping stopped.
I was also contacted in ways which would only mean something to me, after the passing of my father and long ago in childhood after my grandfather had died. All the events have left a lasting impression on me and I have arranged with a very dear friend who is now 92 and very frail but still has all her mental capabilities, to try and contact me in some way from the other side.
Blessings to all.
Anne
Anne
Thank you for sharing this.
These moments are so intimate and special.
I know a friend who has set up a password with another friend, so that they can communicate after death.
Cheers
Rosemary
