I was driving to town and all of a sudden something just came in my mind really strong (hard to describe how but very powerful) Something said your grandfather is going to die. Some how I knew what grandfather and what to do.

I went home, called and quit my work. I packed the next day and left for KY.

Not long after I arrived my great grandfather became ill. I thought oh, that must be it. It must be my grandfathers dad, most called him "poppie. "

He had to be put into a home because of his medical condition and again I said oh that must be it. Now looking back I must have known better but did not want to face it. I had told only 2 people, my mother and a friend that something happened to me, to make me think my grandfather was going to die. 

3 months after I arrived my grandfather had a stroke. He was rushed to the hospital. He needed surgery and I was hysterical that he would not come out of the surgery. He came out ok so I questioned myself again saying oh that must be it.

A call in the night saying he was serious and come to the hospital threw me back into hysteria because deep down I knew.

After a couple of days in the intensive care waiting room I decided to go home and take a shower.

When I returned and stepped off the elevator every one ( all the family) was leaving his room. They said a blood vessel burst and it was only a matter of time.

No one wanted me to go in the room alone but they were typing to help my grandmother. I told them I was going in no matter what.

I walked in alone and as I stepped to the end of his bed something happened. 

I could not feel sadness. It was like an overwhelming sense of joy, peace, love, warmth, and a sense of knowing that its ok.

It was something more then words can ever describe.

I walked to the side of the bed and said goodbye grandpa and all I could do is smile because I was so filled with joy or something I couldn't explain and knew he was fine.

After that I handled his death very well helping my grandmother deal with his death.

I am not sure if it was my grandfather or some one else telling me about my grandfather.

Did the deceased give you information you did not previously know?  Yes, something told me my grandfather would die and then he did within 3 months. It was helpful because I got to spend time with him before his death. 

After his death something told me he was ok and gave me what I can only describe as a moment of a feeling that he feels about where he is going.

It helped me deal with his death.

 My grandfather was never religious and something told me he was ok. Many religions do not believe some one can be happy unless they follow practices.

I am not sure if you would consider this one long event or 2 separate events.
