After Death

We’ve all heard stories of people who have felt the presence of someone who has died. Has this ever happened to any of us? How have we dealt with the experience, and what has it meant to us?

Death

Death is very real and very scary. The people that have died who were close to me has really left on impact on me.

A Loving Goodbye to a Mother

Just over a year ago, our son was killed in an on the job accident. He had fallen 180 feet to his death while installing antennas on top of a cell tower. During the months prior to his death, he had been going through a very hard time of depression following the breakup of his marriage and subsequent loss of his business. Because of the fact that he had been so upset just prior to his passing, the unacceptable possibility that his death might have been deliberate did cross both his mothers and my mind. Keep in mind that OSHA had just started their investigation and no one had any clear ideas at what had happened. It was on the first night of his death that my wife was visited by our son in a dream. In this vision, our son was very adamant in wanting her to know that he did not take his own life and then, in words and pictures, he went on to explain exactly what did happen. Without going into detail, I will just say that six months prior to the release of the US government OSHA accident report, my wife and I knew exactly what had happened. While working he had leaned back expecting the harness that he was wearing to support him. It did not. The safety hook on his harness failed and as he started to fall he tried to grab the antenna that he was working on but being of light construction it bent towards him causing him to lose his only grip. He told his mother repeatedly that never at any time had he wanted to die. He had also told his mother facts of what had happened to his body that would not be revealed until three months later in the autopsy report. The most important message to his mother was that he had felt his spirit leave his body just prior to hitting the ground and in looking at him she could tell by an overall glow flowing from him that he was truely happy and at peace. With all of the confirmable facts that our son had revealed to his mother, I am now and will forever be convinced that an afterlife of love and purpose is waiting for all of us who want it.

Re: A loving Goodbye to a Mother

I think it is great your son spoke to his mother. I am sorry for your loss!

My mother

I have experienced my mother dying. Her presence is always with me. I hear her voice and see her when I dream.

loved ones visitations

Many times I had a dream where on at least two times two male members of my family told me they had just die. One was an uncle who was living at my birth home and the other was another family member who prevented me from drowning years earlier.

re: Death

I went to the memorial service today of a man who took his life very seriously and lived it very fully. death came slowly for him - over a year because of cancer - and he had a very hard time taking it peacefully. he fought it hard, and it was difficult for him and those around him. I wonder if it is best to go that way or to accept it a little more peacefully if you know it's coming.....but how do you accept it without fighting!!!!?
