If indeed Death appears as a hooded person, what would you say to him or her?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28812points) August 14th, 2018 from iPhone

I’ve been told that when my 91 year old Grandfather was about to pass away in 1991 he saw and talked to his dead loved ones who were around his bed at the time.

I can only guess if I’m going to see someone just before I breathed my last but it would definitely give me a good chuckle if I see Death in his iconic hooded image in the flesh.

I would say not to walk around in the dark, in Florida…

I’d tell Death, ‘No! I’M the one who knocks!’ This old lady has more to do.

“DUDE!” or “DUDETTE!”
(But, seriously, how would you know if it was male or female??)

“Is it that time already???”

‘Dude’ is totally non denominational. I call my appliances ‘Dude’ when they act up.

Does God exist? What is the afterlife like? Was I actually traveling through time?

Before my Mom passed, she saw & spoke with her Mother & Daddy & her favorite Aunt. She had full fledged conversations with them for great lengths of time. She assured me that she was going to be OK & that I shouldn’t be sad because she was going to get to go home.

In the weeks before my Dad passed, he spoke with my Mother a lot!!! He had Cancer & was in Hospice.I sat with him daily. Every day in the afternoon his eyes would follow something around the room & he would start babbling something that I couldn’t understand. Shortly after that, he would speak clearly with my Mother. He would tell her how much he missed her, how much he loved her, & how happy he was that they were going to be back together soon.

I sat with many a dying family member over my lifetime & NONE ever saw the Grim Reaper; but many saw beloved family members who had passed before them.

There are some interesting Tedx conference vids on YouTube concerning those who died & came back & some of Hospice workers who have watched death play out daily. One in particular by Martha Atkins I found to be interesting considering the things I had seen as my loved ones laid dying. She’s a Hospice worker & has a unique perspective on death.
