Among Friends

As some of you know, my DH died at home recently....let me back up a bit.  I went to my podiatrist today, apologizing for the recently cancelled appointment due to my DH death. The dr. went on to tell me how she knows the pain, etc..telling me that when her dad died last year, she was in the other room, looked on the monitor that was focused on him in his room and she said she saw this bright light streaming on the monitor minutes before he passed. She said there was no explanation for the beam of light at all.  It reminded me of when my DH was 5 minutes away from dying, there was a quick flash on and off of the light on the dresser across the room. It had never - ever done that before.  The coincidence was a bit jaw dropping.  Have you ever experience any type of 'light' in that same kind of situation?  Thank you kindly for your time...oh, P.S....I also need to add that I had not mentioned to the doctor anything about the odd light incident just prior to my DH passing.  Her bringing up the conversation about 'a light' got me to thinking - and making this post.

I am so sorry for your heartbreaking loss.

I have heard of the light when,someone passes but have not experienced that before.

My sincere condolences for your painful loss.

I have not experienced anything similar to what you explained, but I think (and hope) that the light was a sign, one of hope...one of comfort...one of happiness and a life everlasting.

God bless you.

My father who died at 91 several years ago knew as well as the nursing staff that he only had hours to live.  He was completely lucid and a few hours before he died he was glowing.  There was a light surrounding him.

My sister and I left the room for a few minutes and I asked if she saw what I saw....she said yes, we were both astounded.  And grateful that we each saw it.

We weren't surprised though, he was an honest, intelligent and caring dad, friend and husband.  One of the best humans I've ever met.

My dad died of cancer 40 years ago at home and my mom said she saw a mist rise from his body after he died.  She died a year ago so I can't ask her whether she saw light.

@sarahpanda    Sorry for the loss of your DH.  As they say, God works in mysterious ways.  I have never experienced that.  When both my parents died, I was in another city at the time.  But the medical staff that was with them never mentioned anything like that to me or my family.  

I'm afraid that when I die, probably the only light there will be would be from flames.  🔥😐

I too am very sorry for your loss.  It sounds like you had a wonderful life with your husband.   I don't know about a light but the day before my mom passed she asked me where my father was.  She said he had been there a few minutes before but had gone somewhere.  My father passed years before her.  I always found comfort in the thought that he was there to guide her at the end.  

Thank you for taking the time to make this post during your grief.  The thought of a light at the end is very comforting.  Thank you for sharing with us and I hope you find comfort in the fact that the light was there for him.

My mom and I were with my dad when he passed away, each holding a hand, but we didn't experience anything with light. I have heard of it, though. Continued blessings to you as you deal with your loss.

When my father at 89 passed after 3 days in the nursing home, his younger brother, my sister and her husband were with me. The room looked like an old-fashioned parlor with my dad on the sofa and all the other upholstered chairs empty.  As we stood around him, at the moment he passed, we felt a slight warm movement of air about his head.

We felt it had to be our mother because in life the two of them were so close.  She had passed the year before after being in memory care for about 8 years.

My dad drove over to see her everyday.

It was an October day when I was about to enter her hospital room.  My dad was leaning over the bed and I heard him talking to her.  He said her name and then told her she was as beautiful now as she was on their wedding day.  That was almost 70 years ago:  That day was their anniversary.  I quickly turned and left before he knew I was there.

Yes, there were tears flowing then....and even now when I relive that memory in this post.  In my soul, I know she was there walking him Home.
