It occurred roughly 12–13 years back and has stayed with me since the day my wife first mentioned it to me.
My wife's grandfather got up one morning and told his wife the following: "Today I am going to die." She waved him off and said the man is joking or is being too theatrical and the man does not make sense. He went ahead and shaved himself, bathed himself, dressed himself up, went out and proceeded with his day as usual, around mid-afternoon fell asleep in his bed, shut his eyes and died while asleep.
It wasn't as if there were any pre-warning signs or noticeable symptoms of illness that day. He just seemed to know.
i’ve wondered always:
Did anyone else experience anything like this with someone close?
Is there any sort of reasoning — psychological, medical, or even spiritual — to account for this sort of consciousness before death?
Would greatly like to hear from you or stories like yours.
(Posting here to see if anyone has gone through anything similar — no agenda here, just curious.)
