Find Care & Housing

I'm an only child (my parents were immigrants) and I never experienced the death of a family member until I took care of my father. At this point of my life, I'm agnostic and I'm open to changing my views as I gain different life experiences. When my father was on his deathbed, he was fully coherent of what was to come and had all of his faculties; no dementia issues. I saw him praying feverishly under his breath with his eyes closed and it was like he was talking to someone, acknowledging he heard it was "his time" to come home, so to speak. I just remembered thinking this was such a weird - yet beautiful thing I was watching. He died several hours later. After his body was taken to the place in prep for the burial, a few hours after this, I was laying down in his bed and I distinctly felt this wave, like a soft ocean tidal wave, of energy passing through my entire body. I like to think that this force of nature was my father's spirit passing through me before moving on to his final destination. We were very close. He was my hero, my role model for a future husband. I miss him everyday and he passed away years ago. And I've never felt that wave of energy again. I think if your mother believes or wants to believe there is a spiritual guiding hand to the other side and this guidance can give her some peace as she transitions, then this is good for her. Maybe just holding your hand is all that she needs. Maybe you're the angel, you're the hand to the other side. :-) For most of us, we want to feel we're protected, we want to feel we'll be okay as we journey on to the final destination. I wish you and your mother have peace.

I've felt that same energy. Almost like a big shiver passing through my whole body.

I would have to say yes, an angel is there. When my mother was close to death, my sisters and I gathered; there are 4 of us. We were all in the room with her. I saw Ann angel circle the room several times. I said nothing. The next day, I (sister4) told sister 2 about my experience. She later told sister 1 who informed her 3 had told her the same exact thing yesterday. Sister 3 and I nevet talked. At thetime of the occurance we were in different parts of the room. Mom died shortly there after.

I don't know about Angels but I sure hope that it's true that there is a bright light and it's as glorious as we read about. No, I DO believe that it is. If not, then this life means nothing and has no purpose. I couldn't have gotten through so much in the last 8 years of my life without Him holding me up and carrying me through. Yes, my husband is my rock and has held my hand through all but without God giving me peace through his Grace it would have been a lot harder. May God Bless you all with his peace.

When my aunt passed away in the ICU after days of being on a ventilator non responsive and all hope gone, we (her family) made the decision to take her off the ventilator and let her go. About 8 of us, all of us who were very very close to her, her two sisters (one being my mother), nieces, nephews stood around her. We were entwined together with her. The nurse shut off the vent and we all prayed, soothed her, stoked her hand and hair and when the inevitable occurred it was like we were one with her, with God, with each other and the feeling was divine- in the sense that it was truly special, so reverent of her and I felt all the love in that room and it lifted us all up and we were indeed one. She left in love that guided her to the next level and it was a peaceful, lovely, holy experience. Hard to explain but we felt her leave and it was so spiritual and unearthly and truly, again, a divine experience. She was greatly loved and gave love to everyone she met, it was a honor to be there with her and I am sure she left this world in the arms of an angel that took her to Heaven, as that is where she belongs.
Hard to explain but one of the most beautiful, pure, simple, loving experience of my life. Family meant so much to her and I was privileged to see her off. Yes, an angel came and gently enveloped her in love.
I haven't feared death since then. That experience helped me let my mom go too. I know she lives on in spirit.
