The afternoon that my grandmother passed away I went to the hospital to visit her. She was in a extreme hyperactive state (electrolyte imbalance I was told).I was shocked.

I went home and took a nap. As I dozed off a "cloud" of my maternal and paternal great grandparents, aunts and uncles appeared above me. I found out that evening that my grandmother had passed away around that time.

Yes, it could have been a dream but my experience didn't seem that way. The vision was comforting not frightening.

I haven't experienced it but my Gramma did. She said she saw Dad (her only child), all of the grandkids, and was no longer afraid of dying.

I've had several encounters with loved ones after they died. 

I visited Gramma in hospice the morning she died. About 30 minutes after I got home, I felt her presence. It was my first experience and scared me so I told her to go to the light. Dad called me minutes later to tell me she passed.

I swore I'd never react if it happened again. I always went with it after that.

Before Mom died, I asked her to send me a sign. She appeared to me about 6 weeks after. It was so calming and loving.

I was mulching leaves the week after my uncle died. We were very close and I took care of him the last few years. My mower started smelling awful and I prayed it wouldn't blow up. The second I realized the smell was the same as my uncle's cough drops, it disappeared.

I had Dad's urn in my house for 6 weeks because of the horrible weather. 2 days after he was interred, I felt his bear hug. 

My brother was a jokester and I was usually the victim. It was all fun, never mean. He didn't like a picture I had in my diningroom. About a month after he died, at 2AM, I heard a crash. I jumped up and found that picture on my floor. This happened the same night that his spouse smelled his aftershave while cooking dinner. 

I've had others too.

I talked to my a priest and bishop and they said these are normal if we are truly open to them.

No, but I've read a book or two about people who have had those experiences.  

I was with both my mom and my dad when they passed.  As I watched them slip away and take their last breaths, I wondered what they were seeing and hearing.  It was a weird feeling.  Especially with my dad.

My brother was the first to die in our immediate family. His death killed my mother a few months later. I watched her look up at the ceiling many times like she was looking at something or someone. He would reach out with one of her arms like she was trying to hold or touch something. My father is in an assisted living facility. I have seen him do the exact same thing. The look on their faces and the act of reaching up like they're trying to touch something or someone is so obvious to me.

My husband and I had a short conversation about this the other day.  Neither of us believes that a person can experience a true experience where they saw heaven or whatever.  There may be strange things happening to your brain or whatever when you have a near death experience or in a coma or whatever, but we believe that these feelings can be explained by other things which are happening in your brain, both, etc.  We don't feel that anybody gets to experience or feel anything about the other side until your true death.
