Predicting death

OK, apologies for the morbid post. Wondered if anyone's ever had a feeling that someone they knew was going to die in the near future, and they did?

I keep having visions/thoughts that my mum is going to die soon. She's late 50's, slim, fairly healthy, and has no issues, so no real reason to think this. I used to think she was invincible but lately I've been feeling that somethings not right with her, and we're going to receive some awful news that she has a terminal illness.
Is this weird? My dad died suddenly when I was a teenager over 20 years ago, but despite this I've never worried in all that time that I might loose my mum.

I have no worries or anxieties in my life and no stresses at all and I sleep well.

So, has anyone had a feeling someone they knew was going to die/become very unwell without any indicators before hand.

Thanks

I had dreams about this with my dad. He did die early at 65 but the dreams started about 15 years before when he was quite chronically ill. So hopefully like me, it's just a sign of your own stress. Big hugs

Yes although not totally without indicators. So, a couple of people in my life have felt ill and been told by doctors it was due to non life threatening illnesses but I knew it was more serious. it was cancer both times and they both died (in their 20’s and 40’s).

I have, had a premonition, very recently but they didn’t die. They were desperately ill, if they had of died then I would have been with them, as I was with them when they were at their worse. I’ve had premonitions come true recently, nothing so close to me as this though. I’m relieved and hope it’s going to be ok for my relative.

if you have faith then pray for this person. If nothing else ensure that this person knows that you love them, maybe seek out their company v soon?

No.

But I do dream about people who've lost a parent a few days after the parent dies. Last friend I dreamt of, I hadn't seen or messaged in years. I contacted them to ask how life was and... who knew?!

Would it fit that you are coming up to the age now yourself that your dad was when he died, and that makes you question your own mortality, but your brain processes it by making you fear you will lose your remaining parent and so your thoughts become preoccupied with that scenario because you can't consider losing yourself?

Wow, I think you hit the nail on the head! I'm
2 years older than when he died. I know I was really anxious before I reached the same age and it was a relief to have passed that date. I know I get scared thinking about being away from my kids too do try not to think about it 😕
