"Come on you have to pull through, don't just lie their think of the boys, they need you, so fight you can do it"
Did I dream that or was it real?. It can't be real, its impossible and I don't belive in ghosts.
I had just went through a brain operation and was still poorly, mabe that was the explanation. My brother had spoken to me urging me to get better for the sake of my three sons. It felt real, I saw him standing at the foot of the bed, bending over to speak to me. He hadn't changed in the nine months since I last seen him. Still with that silly beard that I didn't think he suited.
I wasn't close to my brother so why did he appear to me? Was he trying to make amends and heal the rift in our family?.
It is so confusing because I don't know if its wishful thinking on my part or I am more ill than I thought.
You see my brother Tom died suddenly nine months ago. He just collapsed in the street. When I got to the Hospital, I was told it was only a matter of time, he had suffered a brain haemorrhage and there was nothing they could do. He was only 38 years old, one year older than me.
We never got on, but looking at him lying in the hospital bed, looking so helpless attached to monitors was beyond belive. How I wished we had made up our diffrences. I stayed by his side forgetting my own problems and the fact I wasn't feeling to great myself until he passed away.
Now nine month later I am in a hospital bed, having collapsed as well.
But I will get better, I have to, my brother told me I must.
So it leaves me wandering was it a ghost or wishful thinking, what ever it was it did the trick.
what a weird experince, but who knows, some would say it was the medication, others would say it was the spirit of your brother helping you to pull through. Thank-you for sharing it.
