I lost my son early this December. He was 25. I believe there is hope in a life after death as I think I was being prepared for his sudden death by some happenings I cannot explain. In the week before his death, I looked up a passage in a bible that had been on my nightstand untouched for so long I thought it might be a sin when I had to wipe the dust off of it. I don't even know what moved me to look up the passage. Also in the week before his death, I heard of a book called Touching Heaven and I put a sample of it on my kindle, although I didn't read it at the time. The day my son died, I was going to stream some Christmas music in my car via my phone, but when I tried to pull up pentatonic, Chris Rice came up instead and I struggled not wanting to listen to An Untitled Hymn instead of Christmas music, but then I told myself to go ahead and listen...the song is also called Come To Jesus. The coroner said my son died within the hour of my struggle and subsequent listening to this song. I'm feeling these preparations could not have been coincidence as I haven't touched my bible in so long and don't know what made me want that book on my kindle, and how did Chris Rice pop up with that song instead of Pentatonix? Has anyone else experienced the same?

I'm so sorry for your loss. I've always thought I had a guardian angel. It is hard to think these happenings are only coincidence when they were so unlike me and I struggled wondering why I was being compelled to do things so out of the ordinary for me.

Hi Karen,

If you are curious to hear stories of those having premonition/preparing for death I have a book you might find helpful. "Messages, signs, visits, and premonitions from loved ones lost on 9/11". I'm in the process of reading it. It's good. 

I recall at some point reading a couple other people's stories here on this site who had premonition experience. If memory serves, it was individuals who lost their child and it was the child who had the premonitions.   

In my experience everyone was completely blindsided so I cannot personally relate.

Thank you Rachel. I'll look into the book you suggest.

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
