Ever Talk About Someone Just as They Die?

[seamonster66]

..and not know what. Well thats just what happened sat night/early sun morning. My friends growing up have a funeral home with the other side of their family, a very white trash side that includes their uncle who runs the place along with them and their dad, and their cousins. The uncle embezzles money, messes up, gambles etc. while their family does all the work. Their dad is afraid to press charges against him, and its too late because its been going on for so long now.

Their cousins are 3 rough girls, 2 of which I remember from school. Right at around 7:30 in the morning i was telling a story about how she made fun of me in a class in high school. Yesterday I found out she died of a aneurism at age 35, right at the same time....oddly this isn't the first time this happened to me.

do you feel ok about it, or do you find it disturbing?

[seamonster66]

It doesn't disturb me, i just find it strange. She isn't someone i knew very well or talked about too often.

Get this, she was the unfavored one out of the 3 daughters...the family apparantly knew she was a little ill, and decided to go to Florida anyway, then they flew this womans two kids down to Florida, only to find out she died the next day.

then the dad wanted my friend to do the embalming. he refused, because you don't want to do that to someone you know....well obviously I don't want to do it all, but my friends are desensitized to bodies

[warmhandedcanadian]

Yeah that is freaky. It is alwys freaky when someone suddenly dies, but as you're talking about them ... weird.

It's always disturbing to me when something suddenly happens because it shows how tempory our life here actually is. And having kids, ugh, it just adds to the fear of losing someone or something changing so drastically that I couldnt handle it.

What were you doing up at 7:30 am?

;)

Whenever i go out here, I'm up all night. Especially since my wife is out of town.

When i was a kid, this other kid who was kind of a smartass told a joke abut my baby brother getting hit by a car, a few days later he was hit by a car and killed...and there are even more stories than that.

[warmhandedcanadian]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh I'm sorry that is just terrible.
*sniff

[seamonster66]

well, I mean not really...its weird, but these weren't close people to me, in fact, both were kind of assholes to me, nothing serious, but joking about my brother dying?

This one was sad though. I knew this girl in Seattle, sort of had a crush on her, we were becoming friends. Well the last time i saw her, the sun was striking her hair in a certain way, and for some reason I sort of stroked it back like a mother might do...don't have any idea why, not something i would normally do...we just had a moment, not a romantic thing, but a frozen time.

She died of an overdose a day or two later, last time i saw her. I swear i knew something was going on.

what you have just discribed is a moment of empathy between two people, her life must have been terrible for her to take an over dose and you stroking her hair may have been the one thing that gave her comfort at the end.
the other story about the girl, theres a theory her spirit may have been traveling so she became at the front of everyones mind.
we're having a bit of a death theme on here tonight aren't we?
S

[warmhandedcanadian]

Very surreal.

When my husbands grandmother was dying she kept sitting up in her bed and reaching upwards. She also called out to her mother. Weird eh?

[seamonster66]

Yes....

The weird thing about the girl, her name was India. She was supposedly found with a rose placed on her back, so people thought there was someone else there when she died, or after...it was very mysterious.

Se did not seem so bad, sure into narcotics, but was kind of upbeat and showed no signs of wanting to kill herself...she was 22. I remember seeing people moving her stuff out of her apartment, and then someone else moving in...it was mesemerizing to me.

I think you are right about the travelling thing, never thought of it that way.

When i moved into my apartment in LA, a beautiful asian woman with green eyes looked right at me and said "welcome" in a compelling non sexual way.

One night I came in and she was sitting in the hall with all of her luggage around her. She said she had just come back from London and was locked out. We had an odd exchange of words, nothing weird said, but wierd aura around her......a few days later the building manager asked if i had seen her because she was missing. i said I hadn't. That night i walked out of my apt. and three women were crying telling my horrified apt manager writing things down....I heard "their car went off of a cliff..." and I kept walking as if in a dream.

Once again, there was something odd about the last conversation i had with her...and i don't think I'm saying this because i know what happened afterwards.....is there an aura that precedes death, even when unexpected like that?

Once again i was feeling weird watching people move her stuff out of the apt.

you should explore you psychic side, you seem to have a leaning towrds it from what you've said on here and on the chakra thread
S

[seamonster66]

I would like to explore that more, i sometimes wonder if i have a little ability to sense certain things. i would like to become more in touch with it.


This isn't about me, but some friends, and i think its an incredible story.

My friend Brenden was maybe 4 or 5 years older than me, and was dating my other friend Jen. He got cancer, lymphoma, and she stuck beside him as it came and went several times. The last time he got it, she was staying with him and his family in Cleveland.

She fell asleep by him and had a dream where they were both sitting on the bed and their were all of these freinds around. He looked at her and asked if they could go outside because he was tired of everyone being sad for him. They got up and walked into the backyard, and he walked up to a tree whose branches had been cut off, sort of a trunk with cut off branch stubs....he walked over, pealed some bark off of the tree, looked back at her and waved and walked off into the yard...she quickly awoke and heard his very last breath, and he died right then.

That story always sticks with me. We had this massive wake while his body was being cremated, where we all lit candles and talked about him. There were maybe 25 people in his childhood home, i have never experienced an atmosphere like that one....people would all sort of laugh and talk together, then all fall silent together. No one that was there would ever forget it

[Samhain]

was there an actual tree outside, I hope she tok some bark from it

[seamonster66]

I don't think there really was the tree there, but everything else was similar

[daisymae]

That's really kind of neat. Like you have a sensitivity of some sort that the rest of us don't.

When I was a child a boy I knew was killed by a train...I was ok just knowing the story, but his name was released a few days later, I was up all night vomitting. Nothing spiritual about that ;), but as a kid, that was my reaction to violent deaths...even in horror movies.

Coincedently, 2 weeks ago a young man was killed by a train in the same area (it's a terrible spot, several people had died in my lifetime) I cried when
I heard it on the radio...he was only 21. I was cooking supper at the time and all I could think was that someone's child wasn't coming home today...
His friend who was with him and saw him die was yelling and waving and trying to get him to turn his head to see the train coming...but he was wearing an ipod with the volume up, he didn't hear him or the whistle.

[Samhain]

the only postive thing about this story is this kid probably didn't suffer, and it probably had the effect on you because it reminded you about the boy who died when you where a child, is anyone speaking to the council about this trouble spot?

[seamonster66]

I've got one more.
Once the apartment under my wife and I's had a major fire and some of the younger people around were taking pictures inside the next day. I saw one of my brothers friends who I had not seen in a while, and as soon as I saw saw him I once again had a feeling, like he was out of place and I couldn't even remember his name, even though i knew it well.......as you may have guessed, I didn't see him again, only this time he died maybe 1 1/2 years later, just this last winter. He threw himself off a parking garage out of the blue.

I'm just now trying to piece together what the feeling really is, because itsw nothing like seeing someone and "knowing they are about to die" thank god, its more of an out of place feeling, or a dreamy kind of surreal feeling....

The only time I knew someone would die was my grandpa and he was sick, the last time i saw him we said goodbye, and he looked back at me as i was walking away, right into my eyes and i knew and started crying.

Later my mom was talking about going to visit him again in a few weeks, and I assured her with all of the confindence in the world that he wouldn't be around...not necessarily a psychic thing I know, it certainly wasn't out of the blue, but that look left no doubt in my mind that would be the last time I saw him.



getting hit by a train, its so....final. They really should do something about that spot

[daisymae]

I wish they would...no fence or anything, just a sign saying stay off the tracks :rolleyes:....useless.

it's too easy to use them for a shortcut right there. I vote for an electric fence and landmines...:D j/k about the landmines...

[seamonster66]

I think here they have to have a railroad crossing bar that comes down and covers the road, because people were dying out in the country...maybe there are some good things about living in the land of litigation

[erzebet1961]

Ive done that many times...with both people and pets..a feeling will move through me, and I will suddenly think about the person , or pet , and that will get me talking about them.....and the feeling stays with me...almost an obsession, then theyre gone.

did you feel that with your guine pig recently?
S

[erzebet1961]

yes....thats why I took her out of her cage....and held her for the longest time....on a whim of some sort...its like I knew that I might not get to again...and we just sat there...she snuggled into my arm.....eventually, I out her back in her cage. And I watched her burrow in like she usually did....but i knew she would be gone in the morning....even though she wasnt sick.

[lankymidget]

I was in a club listening to a club singer friend doing his compulsary Love Makes You Crazy by Mike Batt.. Mike Batt died that night... I never did remember the exact time Whammy sang the song, but it must have been close..

Oh Eerzbet!

That's so sad :(

You still don't know what made you hold her like that?

[erzebet1961]

I really believe that it was some sort of telepathy....she was saying her goodbyes...only I wasnt quite sure waht was happening at that time....that was the only time she curled up and lay so still....untill I returned her to her cage...usually when I held her she would be still a few moments ..and then want to crawl up my arm.

[lankymidget]

That's sweeter than you know..

When think that most animals prefer to pass on hidden from the world's eyes...

It shows how close you were to each other..

[Samhain]

yeah very precious, she left saying she loved you
