AIBU to think that unusual things happen when someone is dying?

Just to brighten up everyone's day...🤣

I'm not a big believer in religion, the paranormal or an afterlife but I do believe that unusual things happen when someone is dying.

When my grandmother was dying we saw a bright light raise up from behind her house and float in the sky for a few mins (irish countryside, halfway up a mountain!). We couldn't work out what it was. We all agreed that none of us were afraid and that we felt calmer after seeing it.

When my father was dying in hospital there was an overwhelming smell of beautiful flowers in the room. When I try to remember it now I believe it was freesias. I even gave my father a hug and a sniff to work out if the smell was from him Shock. Only my sister and I could smell it but a nurse came in at one point and she remarked on the smell of flowers too. My father was convinced his mother in the room. He also thought that there was a young girl there too. He had a sister who died before he was born.

When my grandfather died suddenly (he was ill but we didn't expect it) we saw lights in the sky again.

When my other grandmother was dying she thought that there was crows in the room which was scary to say the least!!

I've been around other relatives when they were dying but didn't notice anything unusual. I would love to hear other people's experiences... or if you think its all nonsense!

AIBU to think that strange things happen when people are dying or is it just our minds playing tricks on us?

I was in Turkey when my father passed. He had been poorly for a long time.
I got the call that he'd taken a bad turn, and had been hospitalised. I managed to get a flight home the following day having to leave my husband there, but was told that morning that he'd passed. The journey home alone was awful, and I still feel very sad that I didn't make it back in time.

My son was teaching in Peru at this time. He had a special relationship with his grandfather and they were very close.
When he arrived home for the funeral he told us he'd woken during the night to see a bright orb in the corner of his bedroom. It grew dim and then disappeared. He said he knew then that his grandfather had passed, and a feeling of peace and love came to him.
He'd not seen anything before, and nothing since, but believes his grandfather came to him that night.
