Signs from the dead

So I tried watching 'The Good Place' on Netflix which was utterly awful and I turned it off after a while but then a 6 part series called 'Surviving Death' popped up on my home screen. Really interesting take on people's near death experiences and then the fourth episode is about people getting signs from the dead.

About 20 years ago my best friend died. I was living abroad at the time. But at the time where she would have died I had an experience where a hummingbird hovered in front of my face for what must have been about 20 seconds. It felt longer but in reality must have been about that long. I never experienced anything like it and nor had anyone else living in that area that I spoke to. Also her parents found a butterfly in her hospital room after she died, I'm not at all normally inclined to think there could be signs from the dead but these two species are talked about loads in this episode. Also my Nan said she felt a kiss one morning, at the time when she knows her best friend would have died.

Have you ever experienced anything like this?

I have an article here on parallel block universes:

2 articles here on Wikipedia the first one is about the block universe here:
Eternalism (philosophy of time) - Wikipedia
and the second one is about the many worlds interpretation here:
Many-worlds interpretation - Wikipedia
The block universe theory is part of special relativity and the many worlds interpretation is about quantum mechanics.
Quantum field theory combines special relativity with quantum mechanics and says that there is one field for every type of particle. I have an article here explaining it here on Wikipedia:
Quantum field theory - Wikipedia
It also explains why life after death is impossible:
I have an article here explaining why life after death is impossible:
There's NO life after death: Scientist insists afterlife is IMPOSSIBLE
I finally have an article here explaining near death experiences
Scientists debunk evidence of life after death as 'brain goes haywire'

The night my mother died last year, I had packed back up to go back after after a break from looking after her in a care capacity, plus I wanted to do it.

I was fully alert but suddenly felt very tired and sleepy. It lasted about a minute and I went up from this to a gasp.

I immediately texted my brother who was there with mum to not let me know if mum had died. She had indeed died then. Just weird but also wonderful.
