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.
Was
there any possible impairment to your hearing at the time of the experience?
No.
Did you feel a
touch or experience any physical contact from the deceased?
No
Is
there any possibility what you felt was from any other source present in the
surroundings at the time of your experience?
It was about 4 or 5 am
in the morning, everyone was sleeping in the hospital but nurses, it was silent,
and no one was standing next to me.
Did you see the
deceased?
No comment
When I got to the
floor and than to the ward my grandfather's body was still in the room, but it
was covered with blanket.
How
clearly did the deceased appear?
Maybe 10 yards from me.
How
much of the deceased did you see?
I didn't see him, he
was covered by blanket.
Did
the deceased appear or not appear to be the age at which they died?
he didn't appear at
all, I just heard the voice.
How
healthy did the deceased appear to be?
n/a
Is
there any possibility what you saw was from any other source present in the
surroundings at the time of your experience?
Again, I didn't see
anything, I just heard the voice.
Did you smell a
distinct smell, scent, fragrance or odor associated with the deceased?
No
How long did the
experience last?
A few seconds.
Was the beginning
and end of the experience gradual or more sudden?
No
Could you sense the
emotions or mood of the deceased?
Uncertain
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.
Was
the experience dream like in any way?
No
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.
Was there any
emotional healing in any way following the experience?
Yes
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.
What was the best
and worst part of your experience?
Best that it happened,
worst that it lasted such period of time.
Has your life
changed specifically as a result of your experience?
Uncertain
Describe:
Life didn't
really changed, I just told my relatives about the experience. Other than that ,
nothing.
Did you have
any changes of attitudes or beliefs following the experience?
No
Did the experience
give you any spiritual understandings such as life, death, afterlife, God,
etc.? Uncertain I simply don't
know.

hear anything regarding people or events during your experience that could be
