My grandpa lives with me, and we've been very close (or at least used to be.) He takes a lot of medication for I dont know what problems he has, and he's been to the hospital twice. Just this morning, he asked me if I wanted to out and eat with him at a restaurant. I told him I didnt really want to, but then he said that he thinks he is going to pass away soon, and that I should spend some time with him while I still can. I'm very scared because I've never lost someone close to me before, and I'm not sure if he is just lying to me or is actually serious, because if he is, I would wanna spend more time with him to make him happy.

Do people generally know when they're about to die
-
Well when he said Im going to die soon that could either be a week, a month, or even a year. If your asking how he knows he is going to die, it is possible that all humans have the ability to fortell the future, its been sort of proven. Anyways Im sorry to hear this so good luck.
-
Chances are that he does not know exactly when, nobody does. But you could probably guess if it's going to be sooner rather then later.

In reply to:it is possible that all humans have the ability to fortell the future, its been sort of provenIs that a fact? Can some human tell me which way the stock market will move next week?Anon, your granfather doesn't know exactly when he will die, but if you keep putting off hanging out with him, the time will come when it will be too late to spend time with him. He is a close family member, and I'm sure cares about you very much, and he wants to make sure that you understand this. I'm sure it would make him very happy to spend some time with you, and some day you will look back be very glad that you spent time with him.

I have known a lot of people who have done something special, said something, made THAT phone call to sons and daughters they havn't spoken to in years, etc etc, a few days before they died, almost like they knew and wanted to do stuff before the end. ........some would say it was coincidence.
-
the stock market is gonna get very baad after the terrorist att..... whoops , it allmost slipped. Promise you`re not gonna tell the CIA :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
You gotta spend more time with ya grandpa, out of your own initiative .... you`ll regret it when he`s dead. I know this out of own experience. Go and ask him to eat smthin with you !

"Is that a fact? Can some human tell me which way the stock market will move next week?"Its not a fact but its well known that we can predict something. Not necesarialy from a distance but if something is about to happen. They did tests on a person, showing them certain words. The human mind was able to know what word was going to come up a split second before it actually did.

In reply to:
Of course it's a coincidence.
yes of course, you say that so it must be right! *yawn*
In reply to:
He just wants to hang with you because he's bored and doesn't have anything to do.
OR cos he loves you and wants to spend time with you.........

It looks like the message and the sig are from two different people.
-
Now I don't believe a person can tell the exact day they're going to die, but I do believe a person knows when they don't have much more time on this earth. My grandfather, a few months before he died was told my brother that he knew he wasn't going to be around much longer and that although he didn't say it much, he loved him. He told the entire family that, and then within a month his doctors found out he had cancer and he ended up dieing on my 13th birthday in June. I believe he knew he was going to die and he made the most of what little time he had left.

Take from me I lost my brother when he at the age of 39 and a father-in-law with a year of each other. They know and if I was you I would spend time with him. My brother and me had a disageement and wouldn't talk for years until I found out he was in ill health and we made up and I am glad I did. i never met neither of my grandfathers but I wish i did. Spend time with him, you might learn somethings about life etc...

"diss"...tuts

Well go ahead. Your threats are pretty boring, anonymous little bully boy.

I don't think he knows when he's going to die (exactly). However he may be feeling old and lonely now, and wants to spend time with you to cheer him up. Neither you nor him knows when it'll be, but as SteveA said, the time will come when you don't have much time left to spend time with each other. Your grandfather is most likely thinking of that.It can sometimes happen very suddenly, and you may be left with a feeling of regret.Seriously, spend some time with him. You may find yourself bored a little at first, but you'll love it when you get to know the things he likes to talk about, when you know the questions he likes to answer. Let him reminisce and tell you of old times, it's interesting. You'll feel great.Take the chance, my friend. For you never know when that chance will be taken away.

In reply to:It can sometimes happen very suddenly, and you may be left with a feeling of regret.These are very wise words to ponder. Plus, sometimes when a person is dying, it's not that easy to communicate. Now you have the chance to find out where you came from. If you do it now, later on you will be very glad you did.
-
I agree. We, as a society, don't respect older people like we should. They are a great resource. You really have nothing to lose, except a couple of hours that you would probably spend doing something that isn't productive anyway.
-
In reply to:I bet I'm a lot bigger than you.I'll bet you're a lot angrier than me. Are you eight years old or what? Do you really not think this is third grade crap?
-
In reply to:It can sometimes happen very suddenly, and you may be left with a feeling of regret. truer words were never spoken. my mom fell, hit her head, had a massive brain hemmorage, and was gone within a few hours. don't ask me about REGRET.

This is not the perfect fairy land world you live in, this is real life.
ok firstly dipshit - you have NO IDEA about my life, and beleive me it aint fucking fairy land - however - i DO want to spend time with people I love - do you have no one who thinks the same way about you??
I guess in your REAL *sarcasm* world, people treat eachother like shit etc. -
There are some sad stories floating around here - how about a thread where people can let it all out - I mean along similar lines - saying goodbye, having the chance, losing the chance or not getting the chance etc?You know what they say, live every day as if it were your last. I don't go to that extent, but I've lost enough loved ones to know that I want to spend as much time with them as possible, and to not take any of that time for granted.I suppose that's the issue these days. Some people take too many things for granted. I'm not pointing at anyone in this thread, but some days I look at myself, I may be feeling down, stressed, like I just want to take a break from life itself etc. Then I look around, I have a comfortable home to live in, my family around me, a full stomach and a warm bed to go to when I retire from this computer that enables me to communicate with folk like you on the other side of the planet. Then, some people wake up and wonder if they'll even get anything to eat that day, or whether they'll live through todays barrage of bombs etc. It helps to put things into perspective for me and highlight how lucky I am.When things come easy, they seem to lose value. This time with your grandpa is readily available now, but don't take it for granted. The time that it becomes valuable to you will be the time that you no longer have it.I'm sorry, I can really ramble on sometimes, I hope you know what I mean, and I hope I'm not just rambling on. I like to make my point clear and I like to explain it so that others can understand it well. Sometimes I just get emotional and the words just keep on coming.
