My mind is blown...

Wolferz · 08-06-15, 07:59 PM

As some here are aware, my life mate Shewolferz is gravely ill and will probably die very soon now. In home hospice has her parked in a hospital bed in our bedroom at this very moment. We still had some business she needed to clear up in regard to her will. Our attorney came to our home yesterday evening with the new documents to be signed and witnessed which was accomplished. As we all stood in my foyer conversing with the esquire, he told us of Miss Nancy H. a neighbor a few doors down, having a heart attack the day before.
This morning when I got out of bed to change shifts and sent my stepson off to get some sleep, Shewolferz called me into our bedroom and the first thing she does is tell me that Miss Nancy died last night. Later this morning I found out that what she had told me was TRUE!

Now I'm like Whisky Tango Foxtrot over because milady is bedridden with no access to any type of communication device.

Someone please insert a plausible explanation here.

When my dad was passing over a good friend of ours told us there was someone else in the room to guide him on his journey, maybe this is the same thing.

Maybe she heard you and the lawyer talking? My wife's ability to hear and discern the most far off conversation never ceases to amaze me.

My condolences to you and your family Wolferz.

So many bad news around at Subsim lately.
I'm sorry to hear that...

I appreciate that August but, milady is still with us and all she could of heard was that Nancy was in the hospital due to a heart attack. Nothing was said of her passing which occurred in the wee hours of this morning. But at around 06:30 milady tells me that she had passed away last night.
The only thing I can figure is that maybe Nancy stopped by in spirit before her departure from this plane of existence. The two of them were fast friends for the past thirty-six years.

It's going to blow my mind for the rest of my life.

I'm really sorry to hear of her illness. As far as an explanation, there is none. Take it on faith but you knew that already. Harvs has a pretty explanation though.

Sailor Steve · 08-06-15, 09:12 PM

I don't believe in the supernatural, but I don't really disbelieve either. I just don't know. My late friend Rocky felt pretty much the same way, but some time after his wife died he told me she had visited him one night. Liking to think of myself as pragmatic I tossed one of his favorite old phrases back at him: "Was it real or was it Memorex?"

He thought about it for a few seconds and said "All I can say is, it sure seemed real at the time."

I'd like to say of course there's a rational explanation, but these days "of course" is one of those places I try to stay away from.

In the past 25 years, I've encountered many people who were near death. Many of them said things like grandmother and grandfather visited, or said something similar to what Mrs. Wolferz said. The way they described the encounter always seemed to sound like more than just an illusion. I had no reason to believe they were anything less than absolutely truthful. Other than being visiting angels, I have no explanation.

Eichhörnchen · 08-07-15, 02:35 AM

I could only suppose Mrs W had heard about the heart attack and dreamed the woman down the street had succumbed (it being quite a likely thing) then awoke thinking it had really happened.

I'm afraid I tend to believe there is a simple reason for most weird stuff that goes on, even if we can't come up with it at the time.

Catfish · 08-07-15, 02:48 AM

Sorry to hear of your wife's illness, at least she is at home.

I really do not know what to make of this, maybe there is a a "normal" explanation ??

Betonov · 08-07-15, 05:05 AM

I accepted the fact that we don't know.

There may be a supernatural world surrounding us and when one is dying the barriers fall down.
Or it's just that when the body is dying the brain starts flooding the system with endorfines (feel good hormone) and during the brains effort too keep things running some memories may be vividly brought to life. Just a random chance or our bodies are made to ease us trough death ?? I can't say.

HW3 · 08-07-15, 06:30 AM

My condolences to you and your family Wolferz.

Jimbuna · 08-07-15, 06:35 AM

Can't say I believe or otherwise...I simply don't know.

Best wishes matey.

@Wolferz
I'm very sorry to hear this. You have my sympathy.

I had the same thing happen to me when my father passed away. He would appear in my dreams for two nights way more realistic than what dreams are normally like. On his second visit he told me that it would be the last time he could see me and I never had that experience again ever since. I'm not sure whether this is just a trick of the mind to deal with loss but it sure felt very different than normal dreams....

I am sorry to hear of your partner's condition. I hope that if it is her time to pass, that she passes with little pain and some dignity. That is a tough thing to deal with.

As for her statement, unfortunately, a single data point like that is the definition of coincidence -- Two independent events that share a commonality occurring at the same (or close) time. It is tempting to assign some mysterious causality because of the strangeness of the coincidence. Now if she had a history of correctly "sensing" people's deaths with a good false alarm rate, then we might have something to ponder.

But a one time declaration that happened to be correct? A coincidence. An eery coincidence, but a coincidence none the less.
