Have you ever seen any of the
Final Destination movies? The first movie is about a teenager who "cheats death" after having a premonition of himself and others perishing in a plane explosion and uses it by saving himself and a handful of other passengers, but is continued to be stalked by Death, by claiming back their lives which should have been lost in the plane.
I guess you can say that I've always been able to sense when something strange or wrong is about to happen. Sometimes I get a weird gut feeling, the air and the things around me at times would seem to be still for just a split second (kind of like
The Twilight Zone) and then an earthquake would happen or something of the like...

th, 2007 is where it all started for me!
My paternal Grandmother was diagnosed with cancer in late 2006. It was a tough road to recovery after that, with all the doctor visits, chemotherapy and medicine it seemed like there was no avail. It was a regular working day for me. I would usually work in the afternoon on the weekends so on this particular Saturday it was like no other. I had gone to bed pretty early that Friday night, I wanted to get my beauty sleep of course. Not to long after I had gone to bed, I woke up in somewhat of a sweat and with the sense of urgency that I needed to go out. To where I hadn't the slightest idea at the time but that I have to leave my house and with a quickness. As I get up, I'm half asleep searching for some cloths to put on. I see what time it is, it's about 2:30 am. I found some pants, as I put them on I stop myself and ask what am I doing and where am I going to go? I don't have to go to work (thinking I had to go in early) until later so why get up so early. So I decide to go back to bed and sleep some more.
About an hour later my mom comes into my room and says to get dressed, that my grandma had died about an hour ago! I know pretty crazy right, I woke up right around the time she had died. It seemed like my sub-conscience knew she was already gone and it was telling my conscience to go over to her house, pay my respects and say goodbye....
This wouldn't be the last time that something like this would happen to me. Later on that year my maternal Grandfather too, was diagnosed with cancer. Exactly 1 year 1 month 1 day and 1 hour after my grandma died, is when my grandpa lost the battle to cancer. July 10
th, 2008 again was a pretty normal day for me. Again for no apparent reason I had trouble sleeping. I kept on tossing and turning, not being able to get a good night's sleep. And in the middle of the night I was awoken by my mom again, to tell me that my grandpa had just died.
Fast forward a few years later...
A neighbor of mine who was pretty close to the family, he had problems with his kidneys. He would go do his dialysis about 3 times a week. Since he has gone to dialysis for many years he had developed what looked like a calluses on his arms, where the needle incisions would be. One night he was feeling pretty bad, he was short of breath, tired and complained about his left arm hurting more then usual. So he called 9-1-1 and the ambulance took him to the hospital. Little did we know he wasn't going to last very long. The next day after he had gone to the hospital, I had gotten an overwhelming sense of sadness. I kept on crying for no reason. So I knew something had to be wrong because it's not like me to cry out of nowhere. I must say it does take alot for me to cry, I'm not one to so much emotion either. I found out that my neighbor had died later on the night when he had gone to the hospital.
Just recently, again for no reason my left arm started to hurt. I would feel a sharp pain around my heart too. It kind of felt like heartburn and was on the verge of a heart attack. I got check by the doctor and everything came back normal but I still had this unbearable pain in my arm. This pain did not last very long, I would say it was only about 3 days. One day my uncle and cousins call my dad to say that they heard some news that something tragic went down at my aunt's (on my dad's side) work and that they think she may have gotten hurt at her job because she wasn't answering her cell phone. So we went down to her job to look for her. Come to find out she was a victim of a
Double-Murder Suicide in Torrance, Ca. I found out the reason why my arm was hurting so bad too. She had gotten shot in the heart, mind you. I was feeling exactly what she was going to feel and what she had felt, when she was taken away. The very next night after she died, I know for a fact she visited me when I was in a dreamlike state. The realm from in between the planes of the living and the dead. I felt "someone" touch my legs, and it also felt like there was more then one person too. I believe it was her, my aunt kind of saying telepathically and reassuring me that she's in a safe and better place and that she's with my grandma....
I guess you can say whether it's someone who's apart of my family and/or someone who is close to me, I can sense what they're feeling. A close friend of mine once told me that the gifted can sense when death is near. I can say I agree with her on this. How else can you explain the other incidents that happened around the time when these close loved ones died? And these weren't the only people who I've heard that died, too. There were countless others that I've known who have died but since I wasn't close to them, (if you will) I didn't sense much. All in all, I know that these loved ones are in a better place now, they're not suffering and are looking out for us all.
