I'd like to share a personal experience I had on the day my step mum ( will be 5 years this year) passed away and the week prior to her death.
So a week before she died, my dad had asked me to come and talk to her ( She was like a best friend to me) as she was really upset. When I arrived at their house I found her outside having a smoke. I had asked what was going on and if she was okay. She was really anxious and had started to tear up and then I followed her to the bedroom where she pulled out her pendulum. She started to explain that she had a feeling she was going to die and had asked her pendulum if this was true. She explained that it kept answering yes and that it was always right. She told me that the pendulum then ended up breaking. She asked me to do a reading. I had said to her I don’t think you are going to die but asked if she would like me to get my angel tarot deck (I am not a pro tarot reader, I use the cards every now and then for personal use ) and I can see what that says. She agreed, I recall the reading being positive and she seemed to be very relieved after it. Anyway, one week exactly she passed away. When I went to see her in her bedroom as I was walking in I swore I heard her say to me It’s okay Nate, I’m okay and that I didn’t have to worry.
I can understand that people may not believe that this actually happened or that I was in a state of shock/ disbelief. But for me, I truly believe that was her speaking to me, because it came into my head unprompted. And I felt a genuine calm. I also felt like she stayed in the room for a short time longer with her friend that had passed away about 6 months prior while my other siblings also were saying goodbye to her.
