Have you ever been with anyone when he/she died, and had a strange experience?

Question

My mother, who could no longer speak at the end, kept pointing to a corner of her room, as if she saw something there. she died with a smile on her face, as if she had seen someone she loved.

Answer 1

I'm very sorry to hear that your mother has passed away. I haven't personaly had the experience of someone dying in front of me. I am sure that your mother was a great loving woman who experienced such peacefull death. Happy New Year, I wish you all the best for the year of 2007.

Answer 2

I have worked for hospice a few years ago and had witnessed many people leave this earth.....many were very peaceful and some were almost violent in nature and full of fear.....I was with my mother a couple of years ago in the hospital room when she took an unexpected turn for the worse ...the nurse told me she was doing bad and that they didnt think she would make it through the night...as I sat by her bed....I sat and remembered times in my life that she comforted me and felt useless because I could bring her no comfort at this time for her....she was sedated ....and all was quiet and then I dont know how to explain it but it was as if someone walked into the room....I raised my head and looked around the room and at the same time my mother stirred and raised her head up towards the ceiling and stopped and looked at something....it was as if I heard her name being called and then she just exhaled and left.....it was very peaceful....I believe it was an angel that came to take her to heaven

Answer 3

As my father died we were all around his bed and the second he died there was a puff of smoke seen by 3 of us that came from his abdomen. It hovered around the ceiling for a few seconds and then went through the window. Before he died my mother asked him what he was seeing and he said a light. He died from bone cancer. I sure do miss him. I had a dream about him and seen him as he looked when he was young. He was very happy.The dream was so real. I looked at some old photos of him when he was young. My mom had never shown me those photos and there he was wearing the same white shirt with musical notes embroidered on the sleeves in my dream. He looked just like his younger photo.

Answer 4

I also was with my mother when she passed away last year, but she was not conscious. I have heard of what you experienced many times, and I believe that she may have seen a loved one as you said. It's hard to have a loved one pass away, but comforting to know that they are with other loved ones on the other side. I would consider that a neat experience, rather than strange. I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope that you believe that she's in a better place. May you have a blessed new year!

Answer 5

I am sorry for your loss. I am not sure, though. My uncle died two years ago and he was freaking out in the end. He was forced to lay in the hospital bed instead of sitting in the big chair he was used to. He kept screaming to be let up. To get him out of that bed. As if something was waiting for him there or waiting to take him from it. Maybe he saw it the entire time. I was there when he died, and for a few hours before and afterwards. Watching a person die is not something I would wish on anyone. It stays with you, vivid and clear as the day it happened. You have nightmares about it. It sticks with you. When he died, becuase he was one of few people I was so close to, I drank a bottle of Johnnie Walker's Black Label. I never drank before, and let me tell you, that was my last time drinking out of grief. Again, sorry for your loss and I can definately empathize with you.

Answer 6

Yes.

When my Father was in the hospital dying, myself and my family kept a constant vigil by his bedside. He was on the machines, and not too thrilled to be on the life-support equipment (the kindly hospital staff had tied him to his bed to keep him from removing the tubes and such).

I went to the snack area, to get a cup of coffee and take a break. While I sat there, I felt, no other way to describe it, that he had gone. I knew to the second, by feeling it, when he died. When I returned to the ICU, my brother told me he was gone, but I already knew that..

One of the reasons why I "know" that there's more to this existence than is apparent, several personal experiences have led me to that conclusion.

Answer 7

Yes. My mother saw someone dressed in white who kept waking her up. My aunt never came to, but just stopped breathing. It is a strange thing to witness. We are all only one breath away.

Many people have witnessed strange things as they sat with someone who was dying. I knew when someone died once when a cloud of smoke hovered over me in my dream. I think it was their spirit coming to say goodbye. Was a bit creepy.

Answer 8

I was with a person who was dying and the doctors weren't able to save his life. All we could do was watch him as he died. When the time came I felt his soul leave his body. It filled the entire room as it left.

Answer 9

My mother once saw a conga line of Shreks on pain killers....

(After the fact, I realized the ambiguity of this statement, so to clarify, yes, the shreks were taking meds, my mother was completely sober <.< )

Answer 10

I was with my dad when he officially died. But he was brain dead already and on life supports. He was only 45. Don't smoke!!!
