I was with my dad when he passed away. He had experienced a fatal and sudden heart attack and was unconscious for about 20 minutes before the EMT's brought him "back".
He just laid there and twitched for about 12 hours, and his brain was showing no activity. My mom and brothers and I were asked if we wanted them to keep him on the respirator and we decided to pray. Then I told my unconscious dad to go ahead, go on home to the Lord. We would be OK, and he could go on.
His heart rate began to slow down more and more and then it stopped. Then they turned off the respirator. He was gone and we were all at peace.
I won't know till I see him again if my instructions to him had anything to do with the timing of his death, but it gives me a sense of peace to think it may have.
Thanks for letting me relive that memory. I would like to hear YOUR stories though. I'll be you have some good ones.

When my Mom was dying, she was unconscious. I was reading the Scriptures to her and was reading Psalm 29 to her, and as I said "As I walk thru the valley of death I will fear no evil for thou art with me" she took her last breath. I leaned over to her, kissed her, and said Run into Jesus' arms, Run Mom! It was incredible the peace the Lord gave to me. When I had gone in, I asked the Lord if she could go home, as she had been in a coma for several weeks, and we (the kids) had all spent alot of time talking with her and loving her, but we wanted for her to be able to let go and go home, it was so sweet, I'll never forget walking out of the room happy, joyful, and everyone else was crying and sad. I told them to not be sad that she is with the Lord. Precious.

I didnt get to be with my dad when he passed. It was all of sudden from a heart attack and my family didnt tell me he was in the hospital untill an hour before his death. And when i got to the hospital and finally got the courage to go into his room i could feel his presance. I guess you could say that he stayed untill i saw him for the last time. And he could see me.....

My mother and dad died in "94" and I was pregant with my daughter at the time. No one knew I was expecting because both my parents were in the hospital at the same time and were right across the floor from one another. Both had different illnesses. When I was like 6 yrs. old I prayed and ask God if he ever took one of my parents I wanted him to take both at the same time because they needed each other more then any of us kids did. My dad had past on the 17th of May and my mom was still on the ICU floor. On the 27th of May I went up to see her before I started work that day, I had been in denile of her condition until that day. I looked at all the wires hooked up to her and saw the pain she must have been in. I was so shook up I ran to a bathroom and cried my eyes out and told God if he was going to take my mom he better do it while I could let go cause I didn't think I could if he didn't do it soon. I went back down stairs to work and 45 minutes later I was being paged to come to the ICU stat. God answered pray of a 6yr old girl as well as a growen women all in the same day. He took both my parents 10 days apart . Just as I ask him to at 6 yrs old and then he allowed me to let go of my mom before taking her home. I had a little girl that December and when she was 6 months old she would look up at the ceiling behind me and just start laughing out loud as if someone was playing with her. I believe it was my mom she could see. As she got older she quit but 2 years ago I believe my mom came into her room and brought her to me in my room. She came in the room and woke me saying she had a bad dream so I put her in the bed with my husband and I. She had a friend over the next night so I never got to talk to her about her dream so on the night after that when she went to bed she ask me not to check on her when I went to bed like I did the other night. I told her I didn't check on her that night but I did last night. She said 'Yes you did mommy ,you woke me up and I followed you back to your room. I never had a bad dream, I was just tired. I never said another word. But I think it was my mom. So I guess there are guardian angles out there after all.

I was with my Mum when she died and I have no reason to believe there is 'another side'. She simply died, and is gone. It was terribly sad but it's never made me want to deny reality.
