There were several strange things happening prior to the death of my beloved grand-mother. She was suffering from dementia for 5 years an I did all the caring etc. on my own for years to save her a nursing home, but at some point you don't have any power left and my family insisted to try giving her to a nursing home for demented people. I was against that and she lived there from May 2010 til shortly prior to her Death in October 2010.  

4 weeks before the final stroke happened I had some kind of prophetic dream. I dreamed I was alone in my home and watched the lottery. I won some amount, but not the jackpot. Somehow I knew that my Grand-Mother is dead. The next day I told my family and friends about this and I noted it in my calendar. 

2 weeks later the exact dream happened in real life. One week later my grand-mother had an severe stroke and died on week later. 

In the night of her death I had some kind of little shared death experience, but I don't really can recall it. 

What I can recall is that at 5 am in this very morning it knocked on my door. I instantly jumped out of bed and was starring at the door, where it knocked again. I was to afraid to open it, but Im 100% sure this was in some way my deceased Granny. I lived at this place there with here for a very long time and since she was ill I lived there again. 

After and shortly before her funeral I somehow believe to have felt her presence from time to time, but I sadly don't have any final proof that it was her.
