Experience description:

MY Grandmother was on her deathbed for two weeks. Four days before she died, she called out to me in the middle of the night on night number two and said to me I a very weak voice, 'Jonathan, I'm DYING!'  I looked over a her, and her pupils turned pitch black BUT she pulled herself out of that state and held on for another two days in order for me to be able to get her son down, my dad to say 'good-bye.'

On Day number three, she asked me, 'Do you see that tree? It's RIGHT THERE!!' - But the only think visible to me was a bush in the backyard, as the back wall of the house is a large window,. I know knows that Grandma was seeing he tree of life in heaven, Just before Grandma went unresponsive, I saw her pointing to things in thin air, that were not visible to the naked eye.

Grandma's favorite thing was to listen to the chimes on her antique clock. I had turned them off as her hearing had increased in her last days, but I turned the clock chimes back on so that Grandma could listen to them one last time. She was able to hear the chimes, every 15 minutes and at EXACTLY 9:00 pm, Grandma died. I am convinced that she CHOSE WHEN to leave this world and go to heaven! Ironically, she died on the 29th anniversary of when her mother died, just 7 1/2 hours apart.
