One woman wrote to me relating how, at her son's funeral, she saw an angel and felt it touch her cheek. Countless people who have written to me have not only seen, but have felt the touch of an angel. Often at the time of a loved-one's death, a ray of light seems to shoot upwards. One writer described seeing her father slip from the bottom of the bed, stand next to an angel, look around the room and then pass upwards into the beam of light. The mother was also in the room, and although she didn't see this, she sensed what was happening.
Many experiences happen around death, hence the expression the 'angel of death'.
A Hindu woman in her 40s, in hospital with a leg injury, wrote to me explaining how she had seen angels waiting patiently at the end of the bed of two patients who she knew were dying. Another woman who wrote had spent a night in hospital and was kept awake by a dying patient who, all night, had been sitting up trying to reach out to the end of her bed. Unsuccessfully, she had shrugged her shoulders, muttered something, and gone back to sleep. Patients on the ward were aware that she was talking to 'someone' and the writer saw an angel at the bottom of the patient's bed. The next morning the restless woman had died.
