My beloved Sok-Jun (Cantonese feminine given name approximately translated as Precious Treasure), with whom I lived for 25 years, has been deceased for many years.  I now live alone.  Recently. I asked a question, in words, addressed to no particular person, while alone in my residence: 'I wonder how Sok-Jun is doing?'  The next morning, just prior to fully waking up, I perceived singing, a song from Sok-Jun, and the song was a sentence, 'I've got freedom,' sung as exactly that single sentence, repeated at least three times.  I guess it was repeated to make sure I really received the message and also remember and understand it.  She sometimes sang while alive on earth, mostly Cantonese and Mandarin songs.  When I fully woke up, the singing had faded out, but I could feel the many tears on my weeping face already, because I had been weeping before I awoke.  I sometimes weep, also getting nasal congestion at the same time, when I read a report here at this site which particularly resonates with me, such that I have to stop reading because I'm overcome with emotion.  It's a matter of knowing, recognizing something.

Background Information:

Was this experience difficult to express in words? Yes

Writing about these experiences is usually difficult because human languages are not developed to normally discuss the NDEs, ADCs, and the many forms of OBEs.

          If you heard a voice or sound, was it similar or dissimilar from the voice or sound the deceased made when they were alive?     It was Sok-Jun, as she has now assured me, believe it or not, but that is, as she would sometimes say, God's truth, although she had no particular religion.  She had been raised as a Buddhist, intermixed with Kwan Yin and traditional Cantonese  custom and belief.
