    First, I am sorry for your brother's illness.

    Yes, I do believe in ghosts but I am not going to say this means his impending death. When a person faces such troubles he will reach out to those familiar to him and those who have traveled down the path he feels he is facing. Also, when a loving spouse dies it doesn't actually mean they are gone completely. Your sister-in-law may have visited in the past. She may visit again. I think she is visiting now. She may just be looking in on him to give him comfort. She may feel his distress and has come to see what is wrong.

    Be that as it may, she may also be here to wait for him. You say he is in Stage 3.. This means he is in bad shape. I am sorry. But, think how much nicer it will be to go with a friend, a loving wife and his life mate than to go alone or with a stranger. As you would want to be there to hold his hand, let her do so too.

    Many people seem to see what he is seeing at this time. I wouldn't want to tell him it is impossible. He will need all of his powers to see him through this time, whatever comes. Her presence may even help him to fight this thing and win.

    All my prayers are with you.

    Whatever happens, I know you will be there to support him while he goes through this.

    Hi I don't believe in them,but I have got a experience,which is very stranger, in hindu religion in once a year you have to do something died people in your family,as I don't believe in these things soo I don't remember the days,but near that time almost one month before I start dreaming all the dead people from family and start coming till I talk some one in family, and more strange is this one I speak to some one they I stop dreaming.May be this is in my mind and nothing to do with your question but in fact there is some connection.

    Hi Blue.... If she was going to take him she would have done it two weeks ago. It is horrible what you are going through and I feel for you. If your brother is on Morphine it could be that which made him hallucinate, ( my grandfather did all the time ) In answer to your original question.... Yes, I do believe in ghosts having seen one a long time ago. Best wishes Blue, keep strong for your brother, God bless xx

    hi there, blue. its been a long time. for manypeople it is a matter of personal choice whether to believe in the issue of ghosts, spirits, afterlife and the like. I personally do believe in ghosts. reason being, that i am a catholic and also believe in after life. considering that there are so many spirits (souls) who have not yet seen salvation (last day hasn't come yet), there will be some who roam the earth and others in limbo. focus on GOD'S greater glory and no "evil" spirit will bring you harm. if you have any experiences with "good" spirits, please pray for them - they need prayers and thus made friednyl appearances to the living. God bless. j

    Something odd happened to me last month. My aunt that I hadn't spoken to for 10 years died. Days before I'd even found out she was even ill, I'd had a dream of being in her house and going through her food cupboards as though I was tidying up. So I have an open mind in things like this.

    im really sorry to hear bout ur sister in law.. my prayers go out! and im also sorry to hear bout ur brother! ill be praying for him ... but i would say yes. she is looking over him and may know something that u guys dont. and thats why she could be there with him.. bcuz she may know that hes gonna pass away . and will greet him on the otherside! bcuz he is very sick, hes technically close to death. so he could see spirits..she could also be there as his gardian angel! i dont know if ur believer or not . but read some scriptures from the bible for healing. and pray with ur brother..lay ur hands over his back where the lungs are at and pray!! psalms 103 : 2-5 / Exodus 23:25 ... goodluck and i hope everything works out for the best..as the lord to heal him !

    hi blue have not seen you around in a long time yes i believe in ghosts and believe our loved ones are around us to comfort us in times of trouble illness etc. im so sorry your brother,you and your family are going through this.

  • Ghosts are demons familar spirits that appear and look like someone you know and act like them in order to interact with people and sometimes it seems like they offer comfort. But once we are dead we are dead there is no coming back. If I were you even if you do not believe in God pray for your brother and God will heal him I have met and seen many people in worse situations and they are now a living testimony of what God has done. If you would like me to pray for him let me know his name.

    Takecare

    God bless you

    Yes and I also believe in angels. Read these to stories. The first one is taken from a true story and the other one is a true story.
