YES,

Right before my great-grandmother died, she was at home reading the Bible.

She had to use a magnifine glass, as she was almost legally blind. She asked me to read to her, just before she dropped the glass to the floor.

She suddenly began to read out loud to us. Tears streamed down her face. She said that the words just seemed to pop out at her.

She then called out momma! ...... who she said was standing at the foot of the bed. She had a short conversation with her mother, held out her hand......and then she was gone.

Mine was not the last minute even though I thoroughly believe that it could've been:
The night before my father passed he claimed that he saw 2 men standing by the door of his room were about to fight, at first I dismissed. The next morning however my father called me on a call box system that we had and my older brother was visiting for the weekend so on the way to our father's room I told him that Daddy needed our help, when we got into the room our father was on the toilet. A few minutes later he fell forward and to the side. Unknown to my brother and myself at the time, he was already gone, I called for a hospice nurse to come and while the hospice people were on the phone I handed it to my brother and went and got a neighbor who did happen to be a doctor. When he got there, he felt for our father's pulse and said that he was gone. When I got back on the phone I told them that the doctor that lived next door told me that my father was dead and that we just needed the nurse to come and pronounce him. While we where waiting to have the funeral I realized that the "two men" that my father saw must have been angels of death and that my father got them to let him have a little more time with my brother and me or else he would have died the night before he did.
This experience convinced me, who at first didn't really believe in angels, that there are angels and that when a person is close to death that they can be seen by those that are about to pass. My father died just two days after his 70th birthday in '92.

Yes, I have experienced this with two of my loved ones. My Dad was the first! He awoke one morning and there was a smile upon his face which I had not seen in months! He was glaring at the ceiling and asking me if I could see and hear them? I said I could not. He pointed and sat up in bed and said, "momma!" My grandmother had been dead for years at that time! He then said, "oh, how beautiful and their voices are like nothing I have ever heard!" "Can you see them, can you hear them?" I started crying because I knew he was seeing beyond this rhealm and hearing beautiful singing which I could not hear. After a few minutes, daddy called out my name and said, "baby, just three more, just three more!" I had no clue as to what he meant by that! But, he was all aglow with this news!

Three weeks later, to the day, daddy went to his heavenly home!

That was over thirty years ago and I still remember the peaceful glow, the smile which was brighter than it had been in ages and his voice which was filled with excitement.

My experience was similar to the one Pink related with a couple of exceptions.

Overdose of anesthetic during surgery -- I crossed over and was brought back.

I don't remember any tunnel or floating over my body. I was just there. It was a lovely garden-like, park-like setting, but I didn't see family members. Heard children laughing, birds singing, water trickling, and I felt the sunlight and a soft breeze on my face.

There was someone there I understood to be Jesus -- probably because I'm a Christian. I stood before him feeling so inadequate because of things I'd done in my life. And he smiled at me, as if to say, "Don't take it so seriously. I forgive you."

Honest. When they brought me back to consciousness, I had tears streaming down my cheeks.

I wasn't "elderly" then, but I am now. That was almost 50 years ago, and I've never doubted that it truly happened.

I read that in most near death experiences, the person feels like she is going through a tunnel, towards a light at the end. Or, the person floated up to the ceiling and looks down on her own body.

....waiting for your true stories to be posted...

My friends sister had a near death experience prior to her actual death and told my friend that she saw such a beautiful
setting like a picnic of their whole family who had gone before them, everyone was so serene, like with green grass and blue sky and children throwing a ball. After that she said she wasn't afraid to die because she saw what was on the other side. My friend says the same thing because she knows her sister would never have told her something that wasn't true.

In hospice I frequently heard it expressed when someone was close to dying that "Jesus wanted him home now" and I am sure my Dad believed this was the case in his own acceptance of his coming death. I cannot say for a fact, but I believe that when my Dad died he was seeing Jesus. This is based on the look of utter peace and contentment as well as a tiny smile which came upon his face during the moments immediately prior to his final breath.

Yes, my father-in-law said that is father was there and he wanted to put on his best suit so that he would look good the next time he came to see him. His father died when my father-in-law was a small child. He never talked about his dad the year that I knew him and my husband said he hadn't talked about him in years so it was odd that he would start talking about him like that.

It could have been because of the meds that he was taking to help ease the pain but we don't know because he seemed lucid enough when he was asking for his suit.

i'm an oncology nurse and that i've got had many, many studies with death sufferers who see their deceased friends and family members. whilst my very own super grandmother became death, she stored looking interior the nook of the room and asserting "mama" and "daddy" as though she would desire to be certain them there. My mom is hospice nurse who as quickly as had a death affected person who stored grabbing on the air above her mattress. whilst my mom asked her what she became doing, she mentioned she became attempting to capture the angels that have been flying above her mattress. i even have self belief that our family members contributors and angels come to help us pass over whilst it incredibly is our time.
