Do you know anyone who has passed away and knew that their time was coming?

Question

For instance, did they dream something or have a feeling about them dying soon?

Answer 1

a lady named Barbra from Edmonton, AB a couple of years back. She'd smoked since her early teenage years without quiting. Unfortunately, she got a caner from her habit and finally convinced herself to get help but it was too late so she used the few months she had left to educate teens across the country about the harmful effects of tobaccos, etc. She knew it was any day now in her last days that she was going to be dead. I was sad for her because was more concerned with getting the message across rather than improving her relationship with the saviour which was not as worth it as she thought teens are still smoking and it's getting worse since the age groups are getting younger and younger of those who are joining in the habit, very sad in my opinion.

Answer 2

My dad not only knew that he was dying, he knew that he was going to die on a Sunday. Sure, he had a one in seven chance of being right, but still.

The last summer he was with us, he sat my brother and I down and told us his whole life story. EVERYTHING. He even talked about his experiences in Vietnam. The week before he died, I overheard him and my mom arguing. He was saying that it wasn't fair that he would never see his kids or grandkids grow up.

The last thing that he said to my mom, the night before he died, was, "I'll see you soon." I think he was saying good-bye. That's what he always said to her when he was in the Army, and had to go out to the field. It's also what he said to her before he left for Vietnam.

I've known many other people who have passed away (the average for me is at least one person for every year I've been alive), who saw things before they died. One was a family friend who died as a result of Batten's disease when he was sixteen. He didn't have too many coherent moments the last couple years of his life, but for the last six months, he was seeing angels all the time. His only other coherent moments were when he occasionally recognized people. I was shocked when he recognized me, only by the sound of my voice. He was actually physically blind, and had been since he was five.

Answer 3

There are many people in history who did, such as Abraham Lincoln and yes, I've known people who knew they were going to die and I always know when someone is going to die.

I knew from about the age of 6 my grandmother wouldn't die until she saw my first born. She was sick my whole life and people always said she was dying and I'd tell them she's not. When my son was born, she was blind, so she couldn't see him. Then when my son was 6 months old, I went to her house because she had a surprise for me. When I got there she was able to see my son. The next day she died.

My mother's brother drown when he was 5. He came home from Sunday school with a pipe cleaner man. My grandmother knew it was the story of the Good Samaratin, but she asked him who it was. He said "It's Jesus and he's crying and I need to go be with him." 5 days later he drown.

Answer 4

My mother was dying of cancer, I lived 8 hours away, I did not realized how bad it had gotten. She called me on wed. night to say she loved me, the next day she slipped into a coma, she passed Friday evening. That was the last I got to speak with her.

A few years later on a Sunday afternoon, after church we went to my in laws and sat and talked awhile, ever thing was fine. That evening, my father in law, insisted on going over all insurance, all bills, all funeral arrangements with his wife, insisted on doing this, writing everything down. At 2:30 am that night he died of massive heart failure, he went to bed, and never woke up.

Answer 6

well my great grand mother knew the day she was going to pass away. but she was a Christian, and was over 70, and the word says after 70 we can ask God to take us home whenever we like, i think thats what she did. she knew it was her last day coz she called everyone she loved and said goodbye, she was happy, but wanted to be with Jesus as she was getting really old and impatient lol, that night she died in her sleep.

Answer 7

My great grand father had an active life till the day it was his 100th. birthday. That day, he did not stood up from bed. The whole family was alarmed. They called the doctor and when he arrived, my great grandfather said: "doctor, I don't understand the reason for which you were called, for it is time for me to leave this material body''.

He died right after that.

Also, my grandfather used to ask my grandmother to stay close to him because he felt he could die any moment. a month after he started having this feeling, he died. he was 99 though, so...
