It should be comforting. I saw something that went on for a couple of weeks before my Grandmother died that was quite insightful. They always tell you that people who are close to death talk about “seeing” people who died years before on the other side.
Well, this was “more” than that. Once she awoke reporting that she had seen my Uncle (he died of cancer in the 80’s when he was 45); BUT she also wanted to know why they had lost “both their boys” as she had been told my Dad would be there as well. My Dad was standing in the room...we all had a little chuckle about Grandma being confused. A couple of months after she died, my Dad became ill & was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer....he joined his Mother after a 10 week illness.
A couple of days after the first incident, one of her lifelong friends died. The decision was made not to tell her; she would not be able to attend the funeral after all...no use causing upset. A few hours after the friend passed, Grandma said “Say, I just saw “Dorothy”...she told me that everything is wonderful over there...and she is waiting there to greet me when I decide to go.” I guess Dorothy decided that if we weren’t going to tell Grandma...she would do it herself.
The moral of story A., I guess is that if someone who is dying thinks they will see you soon, you should go to the Doctor. Can you just imagine that appt? “My dying Mother was told by someone in Heaven that I would be there soon...might want to do a full work-up!” LOL!
