I just thought I'd share with you all one of the most wonderful experiences I've had.
It was the night that my paternal Grandmother died a few years ago. Her husband had died a few years earlier. A couple of days after she had had a fall she ended up in hospital due to a haemorrhage in her brain. The pressure to her brain was such that she was unconscious and doctors could not operate to relieve the pressure because the blood pressure drug that had caused her to become dizzy and fall over in the first place also thinned her blood which meant further haemorrhaging if they tried to operate. So, there was little that could be done about it except make her comfortable until she died. Many of us sat around outside the hospital waiting the "death watch" but my Mother made sure that my Grandmother was never alone - not even for a minute. There was always someone in with my Grandmother, usually at least two of us.
Eventually my Grandmother died. She seemed to hang on until her children were present. It was pretty sad for most of us as my Grandmother was very well loved. It wasn't quite so sad for me because my relatives have a habit of coming back to see me after they've died, which is what happened next.
My husband and I were on our way home, in fact, we were almost home when I almost gave myself whiplash turning around to look in the back seat of the car. Now, I can't see things or spirits but I sense/feel when they are around and I can hear them also. LOL - hubby looked at me strangely and I explained to him that my Grandfather had popped into the back seat very suddenly and told me "thank you" and wanted me to pass on his thanks to everyone else as well for taking care of my Grandmother.
That, however, was nothing compared to a few minutes later when my Grandparents let me in on their reunion "in the afterlife". It was one of the most amazing and joyful things I've ever felt when my Grandmother and my Grandfather met up with each other again. I felt suddenly overhwhelmed with joy and happiness, not only because they were together again and happy but because they allowed me to share it.
