Seeing a loved one but before you knew they had died

This week I was woken up strangely at 4 am with the feeling that someone was in my room. I thought it was my daughter but it wasn't. I had an overwhelming feeling of love but sadness.
Later that day I received news that my first love had died suddenly, now he lived in Canada and I've not seen him for 30 years but we did chat frequently last being beginning of November.
I found out that his death occurred at 10:58 Canadian time which is a few moments before I woke up. I believe that my former love came to say goodbye and I was still very much in his heart.
It's not the first time I've seen someone in my room, I saw my fathers father the night of his funeral, having not attended as I was still too young I was able to describe what he had been buried in.
I don't believe that when people die that they go up to heaven as I have studied the Bible and I believe we sleep till we will be awoken on judgement day which few can get their heads around.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a visitation before learning if a love ones passing.

I lived abroad in a tight knit expat community. One friend took his own life and the strangest thing happened at the funeral. We all saw our friend watching his own funeral. Everyone knew the friends and colleagues and family yet no one knew who this person was. Everyone asked who the guy was as he looked like the friend, but it couldn’t be the friend, so who was it? He didn’t come to the wake and no one ever saw him again.

I believe that sometimes people who die come to say goodbye. My mum saw my grandfather at the time he died smiling and standing in the corner of the room. There are other accounts within my family of similar events. I’m not otherwise religious or especially spiritual but I have no reason to doubt this.

Seeing my first love isn't my first time and as I live in the UK and all my family and friends live overseas I would hope not the last. It is comforting that they come to say farewell and time and place doesn't matter.
I am a practicing Christian and I do believe we will one day see each other, it is beyond my comprehension but things happen fr a reason.

In the early hours of yesterday morning (Saturday), I woke up feeling very nervous and uptight. Don't know why. Felt like that until 10am when we got a phone call
that our Sil who we didn't get on with had died. She passed away at the time I'd woken up.
Through out her life she tried to cause trouble with everyone. And every time I saw her I got uptight.
Perhaps it was her last chance to upset me.

Years ago, way before mobile phones and all that, I had a really vivid dream about a member of the royal family having a car accident. Was so odd I told my flat mates first thing in the morning. They too agreed it was odd. Then we put the telly on only to learn about the death of Princess Diana.

Why are you so disrespectful. And rude. If you have nothing nice to say then don't say it or were you not taught this when you were little? Guessing not.
If someone believes that a loved one cones to them at the tie of their death who are you to say that it didn't happen?
Why laugh when you can't prove or disprove anything anyone has written.

Excuse me? I have a sense of humour and laughed at a PP saying she is embarrassed that she farted at the time her grandparent came to see her. It was funny, I laughed, get over it.

I have in no way disrespected you by laughing at another persons comment

YappityYapYap · 22/12/2019 17:33

And FYI, I don't disbelieve what happened to you, I just got side tracked from a very funny comment

supermariio · 22/12/2019 21:11

I swore I saw him looking in my living room window. Im a bit embarrassed now as I’d had a huge fanny fart just at that moment.

I found this hilarious too, it's called a sense of humour not being disrespectful 🙄

AllTheWhoresOfMalta · 22/12/2019 21:19

Not me but my aunt. Believes she saw my grandfather the moments after he died. When the call came she wasn’t shocked.

BedraggledBlitz · 23/12/2019 22:46

I saw my grandad in my bedroom on the night he died. I just reached out to him then he was gone. It didn't comfort me, it made me sad cos I didn't say anything.

I dunno. It's never happened to me, but I think maybe there's a sort of psychic shock thingy that recalls the memory of them so strongly you see them in your mind's eye. I saw my friend's dead pet dog once, just out of the corner of my eye, as I stopped by to collect her on our walk to school. She opened the door and the dog was trying to get round her legs, same as always. Only she told me as soon as I got in that he'd died in the night, so I figured ever since that I just saw what I expected to see.

@YappityYapYap don’t worry I found it funny too.
