The medical community have no idea that the human soul starts to disengage weeks prior to death. The conscious mind is unaware of this happening but the higher self is aware as is the spirit world. The person is monitored from the spirit world by their guides and other beings, and psychic people can also be aware of a person who is dying before it happens. The spirit world has every birth and death programmed and there is nothing that we can do about that, we do have three exit points in our lives when it’s possible to die but most often these exist points are not used, only at the end of the incarnation is it finished. Interestingly though in astrology there are three houses of endings or deaths, which are spiritual, philosophical and moral.
From a personal perspective I have a knowing sense when someone is going to pass, but not always. Sometimes I am visited in spirit by the person while they are alive but out of body if it’s a family member or a friend. At other times it’s deceased relatives visiting me when I am awake or in dreams that come to tell me that a certain person is going to die, and the loved ones in spirit are preparing for them arriving in the spirit world. I have seen my father in law’s spirit outside of his body when we were talking to each other three months before he died. There was a grey aura around his spirit and it looked like he had quickly popped out of his body and went right back in. But I understood right away what was happening and right enough, he did pass away three months later. I don’t know why I get told of some relatives passing but not others but unfortunately that’s the way it is sometimes.
At the point of death there are a few people in spirit that are beside the person that is dying to guide them to the other side of life. Doctors of course can’t see these spirits but the dying people do as would any psychic person who is present at the time too.
The person that passes on is still able to communicate in spirit to loved ones and will generally try to communicate with everyone they know to say goodbye. The deceased supposedly have a month after death to be around loved ones before moving on. How accurate that spiritual rule is though is not known given that people do make contact from the spirit world long after passing over. For example one of my great grandmothers died back in the 1930’s but she came to me when I was around three years old. So there are times when a family member in spirit still visit long after death.
