The story about your mothers angel made me remember a story my mother in law told me years ago. Her son, my husband, was struck by a car when he was 6 & was in a coma for 3 weeks. Everyone expected that he would never wake up. One day at the hospital she was sitting by his bed when a little old woman came into the room. She held his hand & carressed his face & told my mother in law not to worry that he would wake up soon & he would be fine. Soon he *did* wake up & she went to look for the little old woman to tell her she was right. No one in the hospital had seen her ( hospitals were smaller & quieter then). She was not a patient & none of the patients or nurses had seen anyone who fit her description.

Thank you, Ditter. I'm glad to hear there are "others" who have had similar experiences. Uplifting!

I think maybe someone does come to assist the dying. A friend of mine said that when her mother was dying, and could hardly breath that she reached out and said 'Mom'. And I thin in both your instances angels were involved.

You know, now this story does remind me of something my brother and my mother both went through. My brother was close to a diabetic coma when he was about 13 and they thought he was going to die since his sugar would not regulate. He would talk to someone he said was standing next to him. I often wondered if this "person" might have been his angel or even our grandfather who had passed only about a year before this. He swears someone was next to him, to this day. He downplays it a bit as an adult now though.
My mother was also near death after vomiting a good portion of her blood via stomach ulcers. She told me of not only seeing her angel, but of having a 6th sense type of thing since that episode. It seems as if people are not the same once touched by the divine. Ever since then, she has been a strong believer in Christ.
