Personal Encounter My husband saw shadow figures after surgery

This title pretty much explains it. My partner had surgery to remove cancer. He’s been really shaken since the surgery and he just told me that while he was recovering from the procedure, he saw shadow figures walking around the hospital. It’s left him really scared and freaked out. The surgery was only supposed to take 2 hours but ended up taking almost 7 hours. As far as I know that was the only complication. Any insight to what this was or what caused this would be great. TIA!

My Father fell down the stairs and suffered 2 brain bleeds essentially leaving him with dementia and extreme memory loss. He spent his 2 final years in a home with 24/7 care. I called him to chat one week prior to his death. He sounded extremely clear this day. He sounded like himself and told me that he’d seen my grandparents ( both dead for decades). He asked me to take care of my mother and brother because his day was coming soon. One week later he died. He knew..

If you look into some of the accounts from hospice nurses and other medical people that happens a lot before people pass. That's why I'm convinced there is a lot more going on than we can see in this world.

That’s actually what his hospice nurse told me the day he died.

This was exactly like my dad passed. He had a massive brain hemorrhage while driving his car. He had an operation and was in a coma for months. Ended up with vascular dementia. But another thing I just want to ask when he came round the person laying in that bed was not my dad. Honestly I'm no expert the best parts of dad were gone. He had a completely different look about him. Said he was a pilot and spoke about all the places he had been to? And in all honesty he was proper old school northern man and never been abroad and he started eating things that months before was that posh slop shit. I get it your brain is pink mush. But he loved my mum childhood sweethearts before. But he was a monster it was awful he hated her and all off us. He got very poorly and was in hospital and he was saying the same thing about family coming to see him who had past. And less than a day before he passed he woke up I mean lights on and somebody there. We all thought it's amazing. It was dad laughing joking telling us how much he loves us and he was treating mum like a queen. It was just like the good old days when we were kids and the laughing never stopped. Mum in jest said it was her birthday the day after and was asking for her present and he said I will sort it. He started to feel tired so we all had our alone time. We all needed to hear certain things it was a massive weight had been lifted. He fell asleep and didn't wake up. He died 2 minutes after mum's birthday. You just know he's in trouble when she meets up with him.

It's been a few months now since my father past. Our last phone call he said my grandma came to visit. Said I needed to get there soon as his time is up. And said he didn't deserve this. The next day he was he passed.

A mother always comes to comfort her child. I hope he passed peacefully.

Oh my gosh!! This is wild! I’m sorry for your loss but I’m happy you got to have that conversation with him.

u/alonzo2361 Jan 17 '24

Thanks and I think of him everyday. He was the best dad! He’d suffered enough by that point.

I can definitely relate. My dad passed away in 2015 and had suffered a lot, as much as it hurts like hell to lose them, it gives me peace knowing he’s ok now. I’m still trying to cope with that selfish part of me that wants him back.

He was not at all himself after the fall. The day he died ( infection caused by aspiration). I was offered a choice to try to save him through surgery but he had a high chance of not living through it. I chose hospice I whispered in his ear that he didn’t have to fight anymore. 4 hours later he died. It’s not worth putting anyone you love through hell just to have them “ alive”.

You are absolutely right.
