Just a short while ago, I show a bright white flash to my left where there are no light sources. My mom passed away last night, and I think it was her saying she was at peace.
*hugs*
How are you holding up?
I had a similar experience myself, though it was all the way back in elementary school. (-Possibly- later than that, honestly my own timeline gets a bit confused in my head sometimes).
My best friend-- my own age-- had died of an illness. Back then I didn't really understand it, so I can't say much more about it.
I do, however, remember him visiting me.
At the time we were living in what I now refer to as "the old house", since we've just moved to a new one and been here for a year now. I was staying in the old storage room that had been turned into a bedroom for me. My bed was pushed up against the far wall, and along the other wall of the house there was a long counter that took up the entire wall.
I remember waking up and looking over at the door to get into the room from the kitchen and seeing him standing there. Thinking it was a dream, I rolled over and fell back asleep.
I don't know how long it was after that when I woke up again to see him standing in the middle of the room and returning to sleep again. After that I saw him sitting on the counter, and then the foot of my bed before finally realizing he was there to say goodbye.

On another note, as I read through the thread I noticed a few posts about hands at the window... I hadn't experienced that until very recently. It was about a week or two ago now.
Sister and I were sitting watching television in the living room, probably around... 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Our television is mounted on the wall above our fireplace, and on both sides of it we have tall thin windows that go from just above ground level near to the ceiling, both covered with blinds to keep the sun out. The one next to the door has a small air conditioner in it as well. I was sitting in that chair, and for whatever reason, I glanced away from the television to the window.
At that time, I saw a small hand press up against the glass from outside for -just- a moment before vanishing. I couldn't see a shadow or body outline for anyone that it may have belonged to, and I didn't hear anyone running off.
I wasn't really spooked, but it was the first time I had ever seen a 'disembodied hand', or however one might call the phenomenon.
