When you die according to people who have been to the edge,or people who have watched people in their last minutes say that somebody comes to meet them to cross over. When I go I wont be afraid and I really want it to be my Gran Moran she was my special person in my life in my early years and I loved her to bits. She was so good to us and when she died in 1979 I was gutted and think about her every day, she was 85 but my special lady. Davexx

Dave As you may know I don't believe in after life etc., but when my Dad was going (he was an atheist too), he was talking to his brother who had died when he was only 20years of age 50 years previously!!! the conversation was like it was one he may have had he actually mentioned music and the Ink Spots singing!!! I thought it was the strangest thing, I know he had been particularly close to this brother (he had 3 others) I don't think he ever got over his brother's early death, I thought he was recounting some particular time that he felt happy about. This was his final few minutes. Pat x

Yes I can understand you there Pat probaly he was recalling his brother from the back of his mind I dont know? I would like my brother who died 5 years ago aged 51 to be there too he was my best mate. Davex

My Mum, I would like her to be there.... Bob

Hi Dave. This subject has always Intrigued me. When my wife died in 1991 i was at her bedside, and she had not long to pass over. Just before she died she said to me..... ....I have seen your Dad, he is waiting for me. I looked at my sister who was with me at the time, as we knew my dad died in 1961, and i never married till 1971. My Wife had never met my father, and never really talked about him all the years we were married. It makes you wonder, who or what waits for us, when it is our time to go. For me, i would like to see or meet all my Ancestors that have come before me. There are a million questions i would like to ask them all.......lol Tony Oz

That answer intrigued me Tony,I have 2 daughters who are Psychic one of them especially so, I am not really into this and they never push their views on you.But your reply has me wondering whether in the last throws of our life we all become psychic? Dave

I KNOW! that Daniel Hovers/Overs(died 1876) will be there for me. It makes dying not so scary. Gerri x

My daughter Zoe with her nan and grandad (my parents) and then the rest of my friends and relatives who have gone before, especially my grandparents who died before I was born.

the question is very easy for me to answer dave i want my mum to be the one to greet me when she passed away last year not only did i loose my mother but also my best friend debbie

well myself i am a complete athiest. all i hope for when i finally give up on life is that i am not forgotten, therefor i will never be alone. although in my eyes death is something not to be feared as it is unkown. i do not fear things i am not knowledgable on. the whole worry of death for everyone is that is comes unexpectedly, that is why people fear it. but to be fair to the question...i hope anyone of my close family or friends, girlfriends(past,presant or future) or anyone else i was or will be close to will be there to guide me through. whether it happens or not...i wish i could tell the world when it happens. as most people would...

wise words John and appreciate your comments. Dave

Yes it takes a long time to get over Meercat I still miss my Dad and he died in 1990 and my brother who died in 2000. Dave

MY MUM!! Plus my dogs and my grandparents.

Much as I loved other members of my family who have died, the one person I would like waiting for me is my beloved Dad. I would even turn religious if I thought there was a chance for this to happen! BC

I'm like you Dave and would like my Gran to be there waiting:)

This may sound too far fetched, but when my Mum was dying she was talking to her Parents and my Father, who all had died many years before,the door in her hospital room opened but no-one came in, at the time we didn't take any notice, but after Mum's funeral I and my sisters all talked about it, we all felt something as if Dad was there waiting for her.It could be explained I suppose.I do believe in the life after death, it's hard to say who I would like to meet me up there, there are so many, all of my family who have gone before me. Heather

Funny how lots of ladies want there Dad's its nice that Im close to my girls, and David, Grans are special are'nt they! Davex

I expect my lovely husband to be there . When we got together [2nd time for both] he promised me we would celebrate our golden aniversary, earth time will make me 90 & him 108, I'm holding him to it. Right behind him I hope will be my lovely Dad who didn't make our wedding, my Mum & all the rest of my family & friends so we can have a grand old knee's up. Vivienne I'm off now to Trago Mills Newton Abbot for some retail therapy.

Steve McQueen with my dog Pippin, please! Then I'd like to visit my Dad and his family on their particular clouds! (Don't really believe in the clouds bit, but I'm sure their spirits/souls/whatever are all around somewhere in a dimension we living humans don't understand.) CB >|<

My Lovely Mum and Dad, they were the kindest most loving people you could wish to meet. they had five us children but they still went on to adopt another girl as the eldest of us left home, she came to us at the age of 9, they then fostered a young lad. i had a wonderful childhood.
