Do they dead greet the dying?

I certainly hope there is an afterlife and that my mom and dad will be there to greet me. Working years in a nursing home I saw many people die and sadly I didn't see any indication that they were greeted by loved ones.
That doesn't stop me from hoping though. Many times I have such vivid dreams of them and when they call my name it's so real that I wake up and answer them.
My mom would tell me that my grandma had vivid dreams of her loved ones during the last years of her life. Could it be that they are preparing the way? I hope so.

My mom died in a nursing home at age 91. She was very infirm and unconsious for the last few days. On the day she died I was seated beside her. She was in an easy chair that had been reclined back. She could breathe easier that way. She had no muscle tone. All at once she bolted straight up and with eyes wide open she stared up the at ceiling. She held that position for at least a very long minute. I told her, "Go with them Momma, your parents and loved ones have come to take you home." She crumpled back into the chair and her breathing stopped. She was pronounced dead.

My 3-year-old grand aunt Lila was standing next to the fireplace. Her night gown caught on fire. My other young aunts rolled her over and put out the fire, but she was too badly burned. With her last breaths Lila said, "She's beautiful." One of her siblings said, "Who is?" Lila said, "The Angel." In that moment she died.
 
I have no doubts whatever that we're greeted into the next world by people with whom we've been particularly close in this life.
There are too many NDE reports to discount and besides, two years ago my own mother told me the day before she died that her brother was in the room reassuring her that there was nothing to fear. He's been gone more than forty years.
 
3 children and a cousin of the children were killed in February while they were simply walking to the shop to buy an ice cream.

They were hit and killed by a a drunk speeding driver . https://www.news.com.au/national/ns...d/news-story/d59ba28b01dcdb878a9b225ee3b75276

During the interviews with the parents the mother spoke about when she looked at one of her daughters in her coffin ,that tears rolled down the cheeks of the deceased girl ,the mum alerted the funeral directors who said they’d never seen it happen before .

it’s a very sad case the family had 6 loving talented children 3 of whom + plus their cousin ....who were taken away in an instant by someone who shouldn’t have been behind the wheel of a car doing 100 km hour in a 50 km area high on drugs and 3 times over the limit of Alcohol in his system

Sunny, does this mean you are really not a unicorn? I'm disappointed . . . .

Well, Butterfly, I really don't like to show off, but since you insist, here's a favorite photo of myself.

I had this conversation with my son recently, who is an RN in the ER and ICU departments of two different hospitals.

He's seen several end-of-life experiences and has no explanation for it.

Dreams, visions or something else entirely? A topic I'm sure we won't all agree on, but interesting to discuss.

I personally feel many people seem to have an awareness of another dimension that others cannot feel or experience. It just is there in our being for some of us, and I'm thankful for that. It very much brings peace and comfort in life, especially as we get older.
There isn't much else to say about it.

And because many people can't experience what others do, they brush it off as nonsense. And it will have to stay that way.
 
I was with my mom when she died. My dad died 5 years earlier.
If he did greet her, I'm sure he'd said, "Just stay the hell away from me. After putting up with you for 50 years, I deserve to rest in peace."
One other phenomenon: We visited him in that private room to put some Gardenias in the casket next to him. I could swear he had a slight smile on his face. I told my sister: "He's smiling because he's finally rid of her."

I've mentioned this in a previous post. I saw a "man" floating in my hallway. He watched me as I was primping in the mirror. He didn't look transparent as I expected a "ghost" would. I watched him in the mirror for about 45 seconds to a minute then he seemed to just float sideways into our studio room. Tanned complexion, blue, black and white plaid shirt, salt and pepper hair. I didn't recognize him and surprisingly I wasn't frightened.

A skeptical ex boyfriend called me one day very frightened. He used to ridicule people who believed in "duppies" (he was Jamaican...their term for ghosts). He said he had gone into his daughter's room one night and saw an old lady sitting on the foot of her bed. She was only a toddler and this scared him to death. I told him what I thought he should do and he never called back to say he saw the entity again.

I was on the phone with a friend who was in her driveway doing something to her vehicle. All of a sudden she said "Oh sh*t!!" I asked what's the matter and she said she just saw Tophat going into her door. To get into her house someone would have to pass her (tight squeeze) and go up a flight of outside steps. But Tophat was a ghost who had been seen several times in various areas of her property. First by her (then) young son who was afraid to go in the basement because of it. She thought he was just trying to get out of doing stuff down there. Then years later someone was working on her basement to create a possible living space and he saw Tophat (so named because each person described him as wearing a top hat). She certainly hadn't told him that the basement was haunted. She had seen Tophat before that day in her driveway but was still afraid to go into the house. I told her to go in and say "Que pasa amigo...what do you want?". She laughed and made me stay on the phone while she went in. I told her that if he wanted to harm her (them) he would have done it by now. She didn't see him when she went in.

If there is an after life I hope it is in no way connected to life on Earth. We hear stories of "spirits" and ghosts, etc. and to me that would be Hell itself. Is the afterlife so cruel that one's spirit or whatever can be locked in to a location here on Earth forever? I believe poltergeist episodes are no more than an energy we don't understand much like dark energy in the universe. I claim to know nothing about what happens after death and never will and I am thankful for that. I hope I just fade away.
 
There are many things that happen that we can't explain and someday (maybe) we will be able to. Like what Popsn Tuff says - everything is connected to the energy of the universe. I too, have seen things I cannot explain and believe that when I die I will have the answer.
 
I hope they do! Both my Mom and Dad looked so happy and peaceful when they took their last breaths, as did most of the dying people I was with while in the medical field. No one has any proof, just a lot of theories, as to what they are seeing at the end. Someday we will find out for ourselves I guess. I’ll try and post one last message on here from beyond, if I can, and let you all know 😊. But for now, I want to believe it💕. When I was like 18 or 19 my Dad and I were talking. I asked him “what if we are living our life all good and wonderful like so we can get to heaven and at the end find out there is no God?” He looked at me and said, “would you live your life any differently knowing that ahead of time?” Had to actually think about that for awhile. Would I? I hope not.

I would rather live my life for God not knowing than go about my life as I see fit and end up in hell. I will take my chances on God.

I had to explain to my husband he was dead in a dream. He wanted to know why I couldn't stay with him. I saw him briefly while waking up a day after he died. He looked really good.

Wasn't that a line in Fiddler on the Roof, when Tevya is telling Golde that ridiculous made-up story about his "dream?"

"Everybody we know was there, including your Grandma Tzeitl. She looked pretty good for someone who's been dead 50 years."
 
This reminded me of when my grandson was 4yrs old. He said 2 men with the same name , one was short and one was tall would walk around his house all day. He said one wore cowboy boots and the other had a deck of cards in his hands. It was strange because my Dad's name and my sister's husband were named Frank. My Dad played cards all the time and my sister's husband always wore cowboy boots. My grandson never saw them when they were alive. They had passed away 5yrs before he was born. He also said a little girl named Colleen was always flying around the house. We found out later that a little girl named Colleen had died in a fire many years before in the house where he was living.

That's the difference between third and forth dimensional souls that are incarnated at this time. The forth dimension ones know of and can partake from time to time of the higher dimension. The veil is getting thinner. Think there will be a big graduation party!

Ooooooh! I love hearing stories like this! Makes me more of a believer 💕

So reminds me of several years ago, a good friend's husband was dying - in hospice at their home in Florida. She would call me and say "Stan has a question he wants to ask you"...I'd say fine and then he would ask "why am I still here." He was ready to go and would fall asleep, wake up and still be there. I told him it was because his physical body, mind and soul needed to be aligned. That was happening. He had said goodbye to the grandkids and other friends so I guessed it wouldn't be long.

Later on that week I think.. had a dream vision where I saw an Indian woman (knew instantly it had been Stan's mother in a previous lifetime, a little girl in a pink dress dancing around and a heavy set man with a yamaka on (my friend and Stan were Jewish.)

I called my friend and told her "think it will be within 3 days because "The Gathering" is there...then explained what I saw and that I had no idea who this hodge podge of people were, but did feel I knew why they were there.

He passed peacefully a couple days later. She called and thanked me, saying the heavy set man in the yamaka she thinks was Stan's uncle. She thought and thought about the little girl in the pink dress and suddenly remembered that where they lived now there had been a little girl like that...and that Stan had made friends with her. The girl had died.

Of course the Indian woman in buckskin still would remain a mystery. Think we do need some mysteries in our lives to help us increase faith.

Mankind has been dying for centuries IMO there would billions dead relatives. Out of those billions, how do dead people find dead relatives?
 
People have so many beliefs about all this. Some of which are represented here. Bottom line we go with what seems right to us individually.

A cosmic quantum computer - at least that's how it is in the novel I'm writing.

Don't assume the other side is like this mundane 3 dimensional plane. It is a higher dimension. So to try to compare who and what we are now with the same limited logic is a major understanding flaw. We are souls that have bodies, not bodies that have souls. Call it a work in progress...lol.
