Experience description:  

My mom had breast cancer and it metastasized to her liver. Her liver eventually failed in June of 2011. She was then put on hospice. My mom and i had a strong bond. And she told me she would come back to see me if she passed. She was the type of woman who would kick and scream her way though. Because of the toxins in her blood, she was not very lucid at the end. My sister and I were there everyday for those last 14 days. The day of her passing, I stayed home because I was tired of waiting for her to die. I planned on coming but I was dragging my feet. I jumped in the shower and a Hall and Oates song popped into my head. "She's gone" over and over and over. I answered myself saying in my head "no she's not, she's still here"

Then I heard her tell me in my head "Leigh, I want you to make up with your step-dad and take care of him" I answered her saying, Mom you're not dead, stop it" As the song's chorus kept playing over again. I dried off, got my clothes on and went to my cell phone to find missing calls from my sister and a message saying that Mom had passed 10 minutes prior to showering. My partner walked in the door and I looked at her and asked her "she's gone huh?" She replied yes. Later that day, after the funeral home took her body, we got into our SUV to drive home and we heard a knocking noise from the back. Over and over, a thug thug thug. As if she was saying hey I'm here. It stopped and we have never heard that same noise since. There have been many many other times where I've heard my Mom in my head and in my dreams. I know she's there and will always be here for us.
