I've never actually told anyone about that - I'm not sure she even knows - it wore off when we were both at Uni; it's just one of those things you take for granted when you're a kid and only realise is a little weird when you're an adult.

Well done you for opening this subject up. Death is not an ending but a transit stage for the soul. To help someone who is entering this transit stage is the best thing you can do for them. To love them for being here, but also love them enough to let them go, that is what life has taught me.

They would focus on the right hand corner of the room up by the ceiling and within a few hours they would be gone.<br /><br />My father died at home. His dog was on the bed beside him. He died and within five minutes, dog's breathing stilled. You couldn't see his ribs move or hear him. He was gone too. We asked the Palliative Care nurse to check for lung sounds and she tried and shook her head. Next thing we knew he did that doggie snort and was back just as there was a loud noise at the back of the house. My father always said he'd send a sign that there was something out there. Well, we also think he sent the dog back.<br /><br />Our vet said he'd heard of older dogs doing this when their human passed.<br /><br />The dog died exactly one year later in my father's chair.50 and countinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051116860123693646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-80321087025238116792014-10-24T00:22:55.993+00:002014-10-24T00:22:55.993+00:00I can do the same Andi-i am not overly fond of loo...I can do the same Andi-i am not overly fond of looking at photos sometimes for that very reason :/ I don't know when it first came on me to do that, but this is the first time i have talked about it openly. gillibobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17739807895366629906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-52854225332305177852014-10-24T00:01:13.551+00:002014-10-24T00:01:13.551+00:00For you it would be Russell Crowe ;-)For you it would be Russell Crowe ;-)MissFifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09948141818594611257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-80756595629738296932014-10-23T23:58:51.658+00:002014-10-23T23:58:51.658+00:00Vintage Maison - Perhaps she wanted to die in priv...Vintage Maison - Perhaps she wanted to die in private, but needed to have you there for a bit to gather up the the strength to let you go without the anger infusing it.

Of the hundreds of people I have been with at the time of death only two were terrified. They both kept pushing me away from their right sided orientation of the room. One elderly gentleman even said 'they are coming for me!' All the others either faded away, peacefully or passed during CPR. I distinctly remember a few aura-like experiences but only on of them I recognized while it was happening. I think I had a 6th sense sensitivity at one time but it is long gone. I suppose life has hardened my heart and the doors have close. Most people who consider themselves mediums tell you that you must keep an open heart to receive. Oh well. celkaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641540970773683454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-63673910226177717192014-10-23T22:22:35.119+00:002014-10-23T22:22:35.119+00:00My mother also died from cancer of the bile duct/p...My mother also died from cancer of the bile duct/pancreas. She was SO angry, would not settle and would not let go, despite the morphine. She kept raising her arms, then letting them crash down onto the bed. The poor nurses were so upset as they couldn't help her with her anger. I spent the night next to her bed and the next morning she seemed calm, breathing quietly. I slipped away to see my anxious teenage son before he left for a planned school trip, and in that three quarters of an hour, she died, without me there. I'm still not sure whether she wanted to die in private, or she realised that my son needed me too and she let me go to him.

They all said they'd see him the next week as usual but he told them that he knew he'd die that weekend. Nobody took him seriously, but he died in his sleep the next day.<br /><br />The second experience was my partner's death from motor neurone disease last year and was, for me, confirmation that people near the end can choose to 'let go'. The nurses suggested that I talk to him and that even though he couldn't talk or open his eyes he could still hear. So I did, saying everything I wanted to say to him but also asking him to make it easy on himself and to let go, reassuring him that I would be alright (because that's what we all thought - that he was worried about leaving me alone). They hadn't expected it to be so quick, they thought a few more days, but five minutes later he died in my arms. It was exactly as the nurses said, that he needed my permission to go.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-41271772906820724942014-10-23T21:02:18.275+00:002014-10-23T21:02:18.275+00:00One of my uncles suffered from liver cancer for se...One of my uncles suffered from liver cancer for several years. Eventually it went metastatic. One Monday, he went into town, had his hair cut and a shave, got his best suit dry-cleaned, did a grocery shop for his younger brother who shared his house, put his army papers, passport, will etc. into a box file on his bed, then went to the community hospital where they offered palliative care and was admitted. He died on the Wednesday morning, all in order.
