I don't think I've ever seen a ghost.
My mother was a no-nonsense kind of person who believed in God but was not very religious or spiritual.
She told me about a few times in her life when someone she loved came to her room while she was sleeping and just sat near her bed. It was always in the wee hours of the morning while she was asleep. She said it was like a dream but different: vivid, calm and loving. Whenever it happened, she learned later the same day that the person had died. It even happened when my father died and they had been divorced for many years. It also happened once when my brother was in a diabetic coma but he survived; I guess it wasn't his time to go.
The day before my mother died, I was talking to the home care person about all of the people who would be visiting that day. My mother, who was on serious pain medication, piped up, "_____ is coming". She had said my father's name so I asked (very freaked out), who is _____? And she replied with a little laugh, "My ex-husband".
Elaine: Sorry to hear your Meniere's was acting up. I get benign positional vertigo quite a bit and it is more than aggravating and disconcerting, sometimes it is downright dangerous and scary. It's no fun!
