Dying at Home

Many people want to pass away at home. Would this bother you?

If you knew about it when buying a house, would you change your mind. If so, would you think to ask about it. We once considered a lake cabin and knew there was a suicide there. We didn’t like the location so didn’t follow up on it. I don’t know if the realtor told other people about it. Should it be declared.

National lampoon had a cartoon, man is tying a rope to rafter, manager is standing there looking at incoming tenant.

"Room will be ready in three days" tenant is bug-eyed.....
 
When Rutherford B.Hayes was sick in Cleveland, the Doctors wished him to stay there, but he said "I would rather die at Spiegel Grove than to live anywhere else.”

He is buried there. Have toured his home and visited his gravesite.

Well, Sometimes they hang around for a while. If their children are going through their things, or are in deep distraught over the death, they often stay a short while to make sure their loved ones will be all right without them.
They might not have adjusted to the movement of the soul and need to feel connected to something, or someone, feel remembrances before moving on. The Holy Angels beckon them when it's time to lift to a different vibration.
If one dies horrifically, the soul may stay for what we consider a long, long time in linear years because the soul may be in fear of the unknown.
and the atmosphere seems to hold a "tension" when this happens. It's important they "let go" of this lifetime.
When my family died, I felt them with me for about three months to six months before I no longer felt their presence. It was so much longer with the death of my husband.

My Dad died at home in bed. It was a massive coronary and very quick.
It was a tremendous shock to all of us, especially for Mum who was beside him in the bed at the time.

She believed that he stayed with her until all the arrangements for her to receive his state pension for the rest of her life were finalised, and then he left. I was sceptical at the time but as she was herself dying some 35 years later, I sensed that she could see him and was ready to go to him. Whatever was going on, she died happy and was much loved, on both sides of the grave.

I fear not the dead. It is some of the living that you need to be wary of.
 
After seeing my MIL die in the hospital I know you will see someone as you transition to the next level. Here was a woman who could not even lift her hand to scratch her nose but in transition was watching above her bed. She lifted both her arms up as if to hug someone. She was no longer communicating with her family around her bed. If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes I would not have believed it either. I honestly did.

When my father was dying and in transition and he was watching a spot on the wall intently. He no longer heard me or anyone else. The woman from the church who sat with him every day asked me if I knew Hazel. She said when he was going into transition she asked him who he was looking at and he said Hazel. My mother who had died 10 years earlier.

As for ghosts in hospitals and nursing homes, how can anyone say they don't have ghosts and spirits in them? You don't know for sure. Most people do not want to believe they exist so for them they don't. I have experienced too many instances to say they do not exist. My opinion only, but if you have never seen it yourself, how can you say it doesn't?

My one and only ghost story involves moving into a house that, unknown to us, the previous occupant had died in only days before.

When we looked at it, there were a couple of pieces of furniture left there that the landlords said "Bob" would be picking up shortly. We signed a lease and started moving in a couple of days later.

All moved in, I hung several baskets and trays on the walls of the hall. Every morning, some of the baskets would be on the floor. One night, a flugelhorn that I had hanging on the wall was on the floor, leaning on the opposite wall. Our daughter denied having anything to do with it and I figured maybe there was a draft that was knocking the baskets and stuff off the walls. Gradually over the next few weeks, the strange incidents tapered off and then stopped.

After we had been there about a month, I finally spent some time speaking to the lady next door and she asked me if it bothered me living in a house where someone had died so recently. WHAT? Apparently the previous resident, "Bob", a 65-year-old alcoholic had died sleeping on his couch during the night. His girlfriend found him the next morning when she came by. The landlords had moved his stuff out immediately and listed the house for rent within a couple of days of his death. We moved in less than a week after his death.

Of course, they hadn't mentioned this little fact to us and, in fact, had flat-out lied about it when they told us that "Bob" was coming by to pick up the furniture. Bob, my rear end!

There is a theory that ghosts are just souls that don't realize they are dead or, for some reason, aren't able to transition. Some are sad, some are angry, some are destructive. I don't believe in ghosts......but I don't disbelieve in ghosts, either. I just try to keep an open mind. Maybe the stuff falling off the wall was "Bob", rampaging around the house, pissed as hell that people were living in HIS house. Maybe after a couple of weeks, "Bob" was able to move on. Who knows? All I know is that nothing ever fell off the walls again.

We had "ghost" activity in my house too when I was growing up. It wasn't constant but was enough that we noticed. Mom called our church and had priest come and bless the house but the activity continued. With all we heard in later years about priests I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
