My mother died in hospital during the night. I'd visited her the previous evening and promised to go back the following day.
In the middle of the night, an unwound (not wound up for years) musical box on my dressing table played it's little tune.
I didn't make anything of it until my sister phoned with the news early the next morning.
Whether it was my mother saying goodbye or not, who knows?

Unfortunately and I say unfortunately because I think these moments can be comforting to those near but if you have a more practical less imaginative brain you don’t have these moments
It’s never happened to me and maybe I m the poorer for it If a picture dropped off the wall at the moment a relative died
I d presume the nail was weak or a heavy vehicle went past to dislodge it I wouldn’t look for a spiritual meaning behind it

My grandmother died suddenly of a stroke whilst I was at primary school. She and I were devoted to each other.

I'd gone to school perfectly well but mid morning, at about the time Grandma died, I became poorly and was taken home by a teacher.

By that evening I was quite well again. My mum always believed that Grandma had tried to take me with her.

I'm not a believer in any religion or after life. However, at the point my teenage nephew lost his fight with cancer, he sat up in bed, gave a thumbs up sign and was gone.

Have you ever had a feeling that someone was near you and it turned out that they weren't dead?

I expect you can't remember because it happens all the time. You only remember the time a person dies.

Coincidence.

Many people have spoken of their experiences when bordering on death but the sceptical just say they are hallucinating! They always have an answer, don't they.

Hello red1 - I did have NDE's myself and witnessed others similar. Please, embrace the experience as it represents a window for knowledge and an opportunity for awakenings. NDE's are real and quite common. Be inspired to research everything you can find on this subject and let your gut guide you. Be well <3

Ive read a lot about them several years ago, a friends son died,the time not known to me.I had a 'sense' he was near me at the time of his death, the day after i found out he died. spooky, seems to be a common occurence .Is it imagination, chance, who knows? anyone had anything similar?
