Was just doing my daily scan of the forum and I remembered something from earlier today the good folks on this forum may appreciate (I scanned all other current threads, and could see none for NDEs or deathbed vision type experiences known to the members of this forum personally?); I learnt today from my mum that my grandmother (whom I & absolutely everyone in her large family completely adored and loved deeply) had a death bed vision when she passed away some 32 odd years ago!! I had absolutely no idea all this time, nobody ever mentioned it to me for some bizarre reason, or I forgot which I find hard to believe And that makes it two out of four grandparents that had deathbed visions!
The reason the subject came up was because the one of my mum's best-friend's parents passed away in the last day or two, and this friend had had a dream two days before in which her brother, who had passed away before, said he was going to come to take their mother away. Two days later the mother died. The parent was very elderly anyway, just for details sake.
Anyway, I then learnt that my elderly grandmother, when feeling unwell, said she could see her father (whom she deeply loved I'm told) and that she wanted to go with him and not stay here anymore. Apparently she passed away a few hours later.
And blow me down, writing that has reminded me that I had heard that story before many, many years ago and had forgotten it!
In regards my paternal grandfather, who passed away in his native Indian rural village in the Punjab a few years before I was born, on his deathbed was apparently gazing as if looking at something majestic, said out loud "open the windows, Guru Gobind Singh is coming on his horses to take me" (Gobind Singh is the 10th in the line of Sikh gurus, and the founder of the Sikh religion, and apparently my grandfather was a very sincerely pious/religious person, of the gentle variety, who used to do rosary prayer constantly).
So, there's 2 deathbed visions out of 4 grandparents!
Whilst I'm here and discussing Indo-centric experiences, there's one last one I know from familial background, and that was a person who lived in the same village as my father & grandfather back in India what must be 70 odd years ago. I have met the doctor of the village who tended to this person some 36 years ago! This person apparently "died", and upon returning spent the rest of his life telling the villagers what he saw whilst "dead"; hells and torment, all kinds of suffering and tortures. He used to tell everyone to live good and decent lives so they don't end up in hell like him, and he was sent back to tell everyone. Or something like, it's been more than 30 years since I heard this story last!
Take care everyone
