In the past, I have seen spirits in hospitals;
*predicting their own death and reporting it to relatives
*celebrating their recent death
*warning their relatives
*reassuring a relative
*waiting the anticipated death of a relative.

I feel that, of these, the patient meeting a reassuring spirit relative before , during or after an operation is the most common.

Here are some examples;
Predicting and Reporting Own Death to relatives;
My paternal grandmother projected from her comatose body and encircled the ceiling above our heads in the hospital coffee lounge. She appeared in her favourite colour and was a mental body being a face with a genie like body; arms affixed to the sides and the legs were joined like a wispy tail. She clearly said 9:10. It was early evening three of the four of us sitting there heard it. Two of the four of us saw her. We expected she would die that evening at 9:10 but she did not nor the next morning at 9:10 am but the next night she passed just as the newscaster said and that is the news the time is now 9:10. She gave a death rattle and rose from the body.

Announcing and joyously celebrating one's own death;
My husband phoned me one morning and told me that he was alarmed that his boss had not arrived and nobody could reach him at home or on his mobile/cell. I was in bed still and saw the boss beside me then as I turned my mind to him it called him to me. The boss named Ken was an atheist engineer who died of Pericarditis which both of us contracted at the same time when a virus struck locally. My doctor sent me to the cardiac ward immediately. Ken was a workaholic and ignored the symptoms delayed treatment. He told me that he died in bed the evening before retiring before his wife because he was fatigued. When she went to bed she found him deceased. I told my spouse that the wife was overcome with grief and refusing to take calls but would call the work in two days time. Which happened just as Ken related. Ken was working in a hospital with my husband and had tried to clock in and call in dead as they had often joked with each other. But Bill did not percieve his spirit there. He felt a ghost but could not hear , see or ID him. It felt like a cold chill had passed through him and that is when he felt compelled to call me. Ken enjoyed relating his antics in the next few days after his death;

Warning Relatives
People who require urgent life saving operations have seen spirit relatives in dreams warning them to go to hospital urgently. When I had pericarditis I initially was unconcerned thinking it was a bad chest cold and I nonchalantly booked an appointment with my doctor when it was convenient for me the following week. However my deceased paternal grandmother appeared to me showing me a hearse and scolded me telling me to see the doctor immediately. I went in when I woke and the doctor sent me to the cardiac unit in a specialist hospital because she diagnosed pericarditis and saved my life. Our friend got it at the same time , see above, but he did not take it seriously and he died suddenly.

Reassuring Relatives
While being treated in the cardiac ward a woman in the bed across from me in ICU woke with a startled noise in the middle of the night I woke and saw the door open without anyone there and I saw a male spirit walk through the door and over to the end of her bed. I could not hear him but I saw that he was comforting her. She was crying but she started to smile and then laugh. She called over to me in a whisper to prevent waking the others and asked if I could see her father too. She was delighted at how easy he was to see . The altered consciousness of near dream state can afford much higher clairvoyant ability.

Awaiting a relative to cross over
Before my paternal grandmother died she asked me to get my little red wagon and take her to heaven. She and I had never spoken about that but she told me that I had spoken to her in my dreamstate and told her about my work in Vietnam as a little girl taking dead soldiers to vortices of light to raise their vibration to the afterlife realms during my dreamstate projections. I was shocked at her recall. She told me she had seen our deceased grandfather , her husband, in dreams telling her he was waiting for her. One evening before she slipped into a coma she told me he was waiting at the door for her and asked why I did not see him. I did look but I could see no one. But when I left the room to compose myself I found his spirit in the hall sitting beside me comforting me. And while in that state of mind I looked up and saw another spirit unknown to me walking by and tipping his hat to us.

Hello, Aunt Clair,

My mother Beatrice died a week ago.  She had a difficult death, and I am still trying to make contact.  I am going to post the experience here when I can clear my thoughts, as none of the questions or issues that are discussed here are as real as they are when you have an experience like this...

About 3 weeks ago, she was in a well lit hospital room, and told us she saw a bright light.  That we better take her home soon, or she would be joining my father (deceased).  The sun could shine near the bed and I wasn't certain what to make of that.   

On the day of her death, she insisted on release.  She said "let me go," and wanted something to speed the process.  She said "don't worry, I will find you." Her degree of lucidity while breathing was so difficult was heroic. 

I am trying to find sight/and to be open to two way communication.  Thus far, I have summoned her image but not had the conversation I need.  It is difficult; doubly so because from several sources we learn that a person's initial location after death in a beautiful park, garden, etc. may from there lead in many directions. 

I am heartened though to read of your experiences.

Matthew

In the hospital restaurant, my husband, my father and my brother sat with me when my grandmother projected to us prior to death to relate her imminent passing.

My husband has seen spirits but on this occasion he did not see Grandma though he was the first to hear her.

My husband heard the message 9:10 very clearly
and my father and I both saw her.

My father is deceased now but he would see clairvoyantly in the right circumstances but sadly he thought it was a curse and "devil work".

My brother believed , at that time, that it was impossible to see or hear the dead, he thinks differently now though as his wife has seen quite a few spirits and one of his daughters sees very well in open eyed clairvoyance at will .


I find that clairaudience is typically developed after clairvoyance in a magickianand that clairaudience continues to lag behind the clairvoyance as both of these senses continue to develop.

Imho and ime;
each of us can develop the ability to feel, see, hear and fly over time with practice. Dim light and trance facilitate sight. Meditation and Dreamstate consciousness facilitate spirit communication.

If she promised she will find you, she will. She stayed as long as she could for you and others. I have faith that she will appear more clearly for you, in a way in which you can communicate with each other. Remember that most communication takes place in a "space" of pure love and joy.

I have prayed, in my own way, daily for your mother since I heard your news. For both of you. Give her some "time" to adjust to her new home. As some say to us, all is well, all is always well.

Aunt Clair,

Thanks for sharing your experiernces.  I fondly recall your posts when I used to lurk and post on Robert Bruce's site.  Your have started an interesting thread, to which I shall respond specifically when I have more time.  I hope you are no longer depressed and are healing nicely.

Don
