Regarding my mom's passing. Does anyone know what this means.?

Question

My mom passed away after a long battle with cancer. I was not at the hospital when she passed, but most of my family were. My brother who is a skeptic about everything, experienced something that we think may be paranormal. As my brother was holding her hand and she took her last breath, he told me that he felt something pass through him. Although I am a believer in ghosts and spirits, I just assumed he was overwhelmed by her passing. What do you think this was? I never heard about this before but one day while watching a program the speaker stated that they had the same experience. Why would she pass through him?

Answer 1

When people die their spirit automatically leaves their body. Perhaps his mother not realizing really that she is a spirit accidentally passed through him. Perhaps she was trying to say something to him or touch him but she ended up going through him. I heard of a man that had a near death experience once and when his spirit came out of his body he never really knew what was going on. He saw himself laying down in the bed but it took him a while to realize it was him. He tried to communicate with his family in the room but no one could see him or hear him.

Answer 2

"...he told me that he felt something pass through him...Although I am a believer in ghosts and spirits, I just assumed he was overwhelmed by her passing."

First, my condolences.  I agree that his was a normal emotional experience, not a paranormal one.  The interesting question is:  If this had happened to you, would you believe that it WAS a paranormal event...that your mother's spirit was communicating, even entering you in some way?  And why?  Is it because you feel that you are the one who deserves your mother's spirit, since you believe in it? And not your brother?

The body's senses are very susceptible to feeling and emotion. Feeling a chill or a warmth not related to temperature or a sensation of electricity moving through your body is totally explainable by science.  In fact, electricity is moving through your body the whole time. It happens a lot during times of high emotional susceptibility and stress that these are interpreted as paranormal events.  In fact, they are normal and comparatively easily explained physiological phenomena.

Answer 3

You poor thing. I'm sorry about her passing but she is no longer suffering.

Yes, ABSOLUTELY! Often they will contact someone when they leave, thank God she chose your brother.

Answer 4

First off: I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad after a battle with cancer as well.

I was at the hospital when he died, standing at his bedside with the rest of my family. The event of seeing the life someone you love come to an end is a situation beyond description. It's traumatic.  I was 21 years old, witnessing my dad die. The doctors eventually gave up trying revive him and pronounced him dead while I was holding on to his hand. I was so overwhelmed by the situation that I felt like a wave of energy had passed over me and I was floating above my own body.

But this is simply how the brain deals with extreme stress. It tricks itself. It imagines sensations and alternate realities in order to cope with what it's experiencing.

The human brain is such a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, some will try to discount it's ability by talking about spirits and such. Life is amazing as it is; no fairy tales need to be added.

EDIT: What kind of b*****d gives the story of my dad dying a thumbs down? Honestly, grow up.

Answer 5

It was the equivalent of holding him in her arms...

Answer 6

The feeling of having a spirit pass through you is something that you literally feel physically and is a very unmistakable feeling.  I have had it happen to me and I will never ever forget what it felt like.   He was blessed to have had that experience.   She was probably just on her way out and wanted to connect with him before she left.

Answer 7

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure, but when you said that, I got the sense that since he was standing so close, he was just sort of in her way as her spirit was on its way up. Like I don't really know, but that would be my thought on it. Or it could be she just passed very close to him and moved through his aura, I've had that happen before. Feels a bit like a pulling sensation when they leave it.
