In reply to the discussion: My father died on June 18th of this year - he was just shy of 87. [View all]Pendrench
(1,389 posts)I have to admit that I have never had an experience similar to your grandmother's....I've only heard of them from other family members.
Other than the experience with my father, the earliest one I remember is when my great aunt died (I was 12 at the time)...she was the first person that I knew who passed away. Anyway, my sister who was 10 at the time told us that the night that our aunt died, she saw an image of her when looking in the mirror. Of course this could have just been my sister's imagination, but it gave her comfort at that time.
And then years later, just before my grandfather died, he told those in the hospital room with him that he was talking to Julie...his granddaughter (my cousin) who died when she was only 11 years old.
Perhaps it was just a function of his brain as he was dying, and perhaps my sister was just a child with an active imagination.
I don't know...
In any case, thank you again - wishing you well and peace.
