hope I get a last few kind words with my loved ones when I go.

You have today. Never wait. Take advantage of this gift right now.

While visiting my dad before taking my family on vacation I asked how he was doing to which he told me that his body was shutting down. He generally had a pessimistic view regarding his health so that comment didn’t seem out of the norm, however, he passed away 3 days later. Always have regretted not
staying behind and spending more time with him those last few days.

My dad was 85 and while getting dressed for church on a Sunday morning he walked into the hallway and said to my mom, “Bunny, I think I’m dying.” He sat on the couch and fell over right after he made that exclamation. RIP dad.

I felt the presence of death before someone unexpectedly died. Prkbably was one of the most eerie feelings I had in life.

saw this I'd laugh my arse off... until I realized they were actually dead...

Nurse I worked with was in Triage. A dude came in with family. Chest Pains. Anxious and uncomfortable. As the nurse moved the EKG to the stretcher he was getting in he said “I think I am dying”. She tried to reassure him. He was having none of it. Slumped over onto the stretcher and proved her wrong.

“Sense of Impending Doom” is a textbook sign. It’s also a textbook sign of someone freaking out or having a panic attack. Do this long enough and someone will “show you” they mean business.

My father died when I was 10. I was the only one home with him and he dropped dead from a heart attack. Came in two waves. First made him slump over. He kinda recovered and said “I don’t feel good” and he dropped dead

WTF, that's crazy. It's hard to imagine that. Maybe being so young helps with recovery. They say kids are resilient. That's a tough one

If it's any positive, I had a great aunt die and on her death bed she said "I see angels, they're beautiful" despite being basically unconscious for the few days before.



I consult in a nursing home .. this happens for sure. Also seeing and talking to their deceased parents/other family members.

My Grandfather would introduce us to his family members. For the last few days of his life his mother and the Virgin Mary were in the corner of his hospital room. It was a little spooky at first but at the same time very comforting.

I don’t know if this falls in line with the OP or not.

My dad who passed 1/22 kept telling my mom and his nurse to get the ambulance and kept asking when it would get to the house. Told my mom he loves her and grateful for all their years together. The gents in the ambulance said as soon as the doors were closed was when my dad passed.

We believe he held on so he wouldn’t die in the house, but knew his time with us was ending. Obviously some speculation on our part but knowing my dad it’s probably accurate. He didn’t want my mother to have negative thoughts about their home had he passed in bed. He was suffering with cancer.

My mother was dying of cancer and in hospice care.. the last week of her life was mostly unconscious due to heavy doses of morphine to keep her comfortable. My mother was a stubborn women and her last 24 hours were filled with what is often referred to as the "death rattle" breathing. I fell asleep in the room with her and slept from about 1AM to about 5AM.. When I woke up her condition was taking a deep breath about every minute or so with that "rattle".. The hospice/medical people through this process continued to emphasize while they are unconscious it is likely they could still hear us.. So, I walked over to her bed, grabbed her hand and told her it was ok. I was there and she could let go and stop fighting it..

As soon as I said that my mother took her last breath.

While there is no doubt it could have been coincidence, I am convinced my mother was giving the Grim Reaper hell until she heard my voice and knew she was not alone...
