I miss THIS OPRAH

[@lanamuir9352]

I was with my father when he died at age 93 in a nursing home. I was holding his hand and he said to me "I want to go home" and I knew which home he meant. In that moment, his face turned "gold" and it only lasted a few seconds. I had heard about the death mask from nurses and I knew what they meant after having seen it. The colour to his face returned and he was gone. It was a very peaceful death and I am forever greatful that I was there with him. I loved him very, very much and his last gift to me was to allow me to be there at the end of his life.

[@tnt01]

I was there for my father's last breath. Forever grateful.🙏

[@gailruckle8183]

People talk about how awesome it is to be there when someone is born and that is true. Myself, however I think it is just as great an honor to be there when they pass from this world 💕

[@Leileipku]

In Chinese it’s called 回光返照 means the one who is gonna to die ,his or her face will turn red before they die

[@SharonMaguire-yu8zj]

Beautiful story thankyou for sharing ⚘️

[@taghazoutmoon5031]

So happy Oprah is releasing full episodes. Please add an entire channel 🙏 or at least a Playlist of full episodes 🙏 ❤

[@pommiebears]

My grandad saw his mother before he died. That brings me comfort, firstly, that he wasn’t alone, secondly, that I won’t be either. ❤

[@maryannscaglione8034]

I love Super Soul Sunday. I wish she still did this. All of this is true. My father passed away due to stage 4 lung cancer and he would have conversations with people that I knew that had passed.

[@mm7846]

I feel blessed I was able to be with my father when he passed 💗🙏🤲🫶

[@SarahCecil-gh5km]

Me too, so grateful I was with my dad when he died

[@thabsmkhize2481]

What I found these shows did for me was teach me to have more compassion, really deep empathy. The Oprah show made such an incalculable impact on the world 🌍❤

[@michaelgriffinspeak3341]

I am Very Grateful to have been able to watch this show Oprah. So many profound experiences and points made. Thank You Again ❤

[@Rapper-zx7zs]

I’m so glad I was with my father when he died at age 80. He died at home with my mom, my sister and myself at his side which were his final wishes which I’m so glad were fulfilled. R.I.P. Dad.❤🕊️ I love you so much!😭🥹

[@skeetervetrone7257]

My aunt just passed a few weeks ago. And she had a conversation w her dad mom and grandfather that died years ago They asked her r u ready to come home and she said not yet. Cus she was waiting for my niece to make it back home from school.

[@pommiebears]

My grandad saw his mother, who I had met, because she didn’t pass until well into her 90’s. It certainly brings great comfort. I knew he wasn’t alone, and I knew that he’d be out of pain. I miss him terribly, as he was my most favourite person ever. ❤

[@everything-is-blue]

It is so refreshing to see real simple people, without the filters.

[@elm1230]

Do you leave your house and look up from a screen? lol you’ll be highly refreshed

[@doctorberkowitz]

agreed. back when real people existed.

[@elm1230]

[@passionateforjesus4019]

I’m grateful for everyday of my life. Every experience I have. Every connection I have.

[@kendrai.304]

I deeply understand this , I believe I'm on my 4th life. And the best one so far. I am living with love for self and others unlike before. I am doing things that are more meaningful and amazing. I am in recovery from substance , alcohol and self harming behavior. I have a beautiful family, cats and home. I am grateful for everything 💜☺️

[@lucyaudrey733]

You’re truly wonderful. Your comment just warmed my heart

[@gregorycosta1043]

My mom died two weeks ago. Three days before she died at our home, she told my aunt that she was transitioning to the other side. That same day, she had made subtle remarks to me, and I assumed she was hinting that she was dying.

[@susanjohn6701]

My husband has been bedridden for the last 10 years. And for the last 10 years he has been traveling and he still has not reached his destination. He would talk about all his ancestors and to them. Talk about cemetery and the priest etc. It's strange but as I said he is still traveling.

[@ONE31707]

Yes everyone knows, they see, hear and feel things. I been blessed enough to walk with some family and friends and talk to them. Yes been awakened in the night and escorted them on there walk halfway. It’s just a different journey. I grew up knowing we chose when to be born to the earth and to be born again in what is called the final moments. Birth is Birth, The atmosphere is so beautiful and full of love you can only imagine. Colors vibrant like never before. 🙏🏾💕💕

[@dawnagordon2333]

I’m a caregiver and I’ve seen many of my residence passed away. I’ve also seen them talk to spirits good and bad before they die. It is true I’ve seen my residence. Wait until Luv ones come to say goodbye then they leave.

[@llamamama2910]

Why bad spirits and how could you tell?

[@cathygregory6595]

Wow!!!!! Thank you !!!

[@lakeerie5857]

Where is Dave and David now? All of the guests? Very interesting

[@Ruta14337]

Lovely show Oprah 💯💗❤️👍

[@jhufelcarcellar463]

A week before my papa died, he was with us celebrating my sisters birthday , drinking and eating .. as we were wrapping up, it was quite late at night already, he was quite drunk, he just uttered ..”who wants to go in a joy ride? I just wanna breathe some fresh air?”😢

[@soniagray5734]

I believe my grandma did too....

[@melissabirch459]

My mom sensed and dreamt of my deceased father's presence on a regular basis a few years before she passed

[@maryirick3579]
