Experience description:  

I was standing in front of the hospital ward, the body of my grandfather was still in the there and I was waiting for the personal to come. About an hour before I got a call from my uncle that my grandfather passed away, but it's only there at the hospital when I felt the grief. With emotions really high I started to cry and felt tears on my chicks. Than I heard my grandfathers voice in my head. He said to me : 

David, please don't worry, I feel good here. 

I was stunned for a minute and could not think about anything, I stopped crying, but then in a few min or seconds I started to cry again, because I simply could not hold tears. And then I heard his voice in my head again, he said: 

David, I told you I am fine here. 

And that's it. I never heard his voice again. 

Please note that the conversation was in Russian language, and I tried to translate it to English as close as possible.

Was this experience difficult to express in words?  No


Did you ONLY sense an awareness of presence of the deceased without actually seeing, hearing, feeling or smelling them?            No

Did you hear the deceased or hear something associated with the deceased?          Yes

            Describe what you heard, how clearly you heard it and what was communicated:    I just described what was happening above. But it was very clear, it was like my grandfather was staying next to me. I heard him very well, and twice within few min, maybe even seconds. I heard him loud and clear. It was very unusual experience, I could hear him inside my head, like he is talking to me, but he is not standing next to me.

            Did the voice or sound seem to originate externally or outside of you, inside you, or did you not hear a voice or sound, but had a sense of knowing what was communicated?  The voice of my grandfather originated inside my head. And it was communication because you never communicated with yourself about someone else by calling your own name. You would say: He/she will be better on the other side. Something like that. What I heard was my grandfather voice and he was talking to me by calling my first name.

            If you heard a voice or sound, was it similar or dissimilar from the voice or sound the deceased made when they were alive?           The voice of my grandfather was exactly his, it was his voice. Wasn't mine for sure and it wasn't anyone else. Otherwise I would remember.

            Is there any possibility what you heard was from any other source present in the surroundings at the time of your experience?           I was staying alone in the hospital corridor, just outside of the hospital ward, my grandfather's body was still there, in the room. There was no one around me , at lest close to 10 yards.

He was sounded calm, but not unhappy. He was worried about me crying rather than anything else, he wanted just to let me know that he feels good there and there is nothing to be worry about.

Did the deceased give you information you did not previously know?  No

How do you currently view the reality of your experience?           Experience was definitely real

            Please explain why you view the reality of your experience as real or not real:           As I said before, you never start talking to yourself by calling your own name. Plus when you talk about person you say: he/she feels better there. What I heard is my grandfather called me by my first name and said that he is feeling good there.

Describe in detail your feelings/emotions during the experience:           I feel exactly what everyone feels when their close loved relative passed away. Grief, sadness, unhappiness.

It's hard to describe, you just feel better, maybe with more of the hope that the life didn't end, that there is a transformation into another place.
