In my nursing days, the elderly would call out to 'mother' or 'father' or whoever was close to them and had already passed on, and had appeared in front of them.
My husband called out to both the day before he died. In retrospect, I think it was at the point of no return.
Your right about that.
I was visiting my mother (85yrs old) who was in hospital having had a hip replacement, she said to me " dads just been " (my dad had been dead 25yrs) .
I passed it off as the anesthetic wearing off and she had been dreaming.
The following morning my mother passed away.
Looking back, whether she meant her dad or mine I don't know.
edit: Another thing I have heard is some people will say " I don't feel to well, I'm going up for a lie down" next thing they're dead on the bed
My uncle did this he was having a heart attack so obviously didn't feel well, though he managed to get up and walk downstairs just before he died to say ring the doctor and then he just literally dropped dead
My dad knew he'd die by 45 when he was about 20, and kept saying.
His left side of his heart collapsed a month before his 46th birthday..
Very.. I don't know what to make of it tbh.. My dad was a very funny/chilled guy so .. yeah.
Things like that are weird, my mum used to say my brother would die young (as in his teens) and then he hit 21 and she thought phew he won't and then a few months before he hit 22 he died

That was sad but I have to say I AWAYS knew I would die when I was 33... and that was a good many years ago. Had your father a history of heart disease? I had a work colleague whose male members of the family all died at 50 and he was determined not to. After a heart attack, he returned to work and took up a fitness and healthy eating regime. So determined was he, he eventually GAVE aerobic classes only to die of another heart attack whilst leading one, at the age of 49. Very sad but I believe giving gym classes was sheer madness for a man with his health record.
My nan called out saying 'oh Father' just before she died. Peeps present were not sure whether it was a religous excalmation or her dad she was calling

I do hope she never told your brother of his fears whilst he was alive. :eek:On a separate matter, it is against the law apparently for mediums to tell clients exactly when they are going to die in case it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy I suppose.

He did actually know but only because we he was named after a relative who died in an accident young and my brother also happened to be very accident prone, that's why my mum would worry he would go young too
True story here... something spooky happened when I was a little boy some many years back now.
An old lady who lived a few doors away was talking to my mum about two days before christmas and she said something like "thanks for being a good neighbour, I'll always remember you" and she patted my mums arm and walked off. I remember asking my mum why did she say that - and she said she didn't know, it was a bit strange.
On christmas day, the old lady died suddenly and unexpectedly. I've never forgotten that, it's always made me feel a bit spooky when I recall it!!! :eek:
After the hustle and bustle of Christmas day, I found myself sitting with my Gran in the living room that evening, talking about how nice the day had been. She said she'd had a great time and how pleased she was to see the whole family gathered together like that. Then she said it was nice to have that lovely Christmas day because she wasn't going to see another one.
I told her not to talk like that, because even though she was 87 she was in great health. She just looked at me and smiled, then shook her head.
it tells you on that death clock website. simple really.
I don't take that thing seriously. It's only the vaguest of guides, and by the time a few years have passed since you punched in your details, the entire dynamics of your life could have changed.

I also remember the smell of iminent death on other occasions. It's difficult to describe it in words.
I cleared out a room once, where somebody had died a few days before. The entire room was infused with a strange "sweet" smell. That's the closest I can describe it.
We're ALL going to die in 2012 - the ancient mayans predicted it ! December 21st apparently - so no worries about Xmas presents that year!
They didn't say we're all going to die, but that this date marks a significant shift. I think you'll find we're still around on the whole, some more than others.

Really! Don't you think it's true then ? But the death clock thing is true right? :rolleyes:

Three weeks later she was dead. Heart attack.
