Not just any holiday, but a round-the-world trip that was due to last a few months. Trying to revive someone on the hard shoulder of a motorway is a deeply unpleasant experience. I sometimes wonder if he got himself worked up about all the travel arrangements, but we'll never know - he was a very buttoned-up character, never gave much away about himself. Going away on holiday still makes me feel uptight (especially if an airport's involved)and I'm sure it's an after-effect of that day. Maybe, one day, it'll fade away.Scars Beneath The Skinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866587497469760915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-78892230200552981622010-03-04T07:51:24.090+00:002010-03-04T07:51:24.090+00:00Hi Andy,

I certainly didn't have any ghostly experiences, but I did have all sorts of "ghost" chest pains for a long time afterwards. Kept imagining I was having a heart attack too - fairly typical shock reaction.Scars Beneath The Skinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866587497469760915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-52362655273718014742010-03-03T07:01:35.815+00:002010-03-03T07:01:35.815+00:00Hi Pandora,

He went after that, though my sister kept seeing flashes of light where they shouldn't have been for months. I just know he was there. Don't talk about it much.

I think the sensation of a recently deceased person returning for a short time after death is pretty common. The question is whether this is evidence of an afterlife or some psychological effect in grieving. Recently, I wrote about something I still have trouble finding a satisfactory explanation for. <br />http://nomadicjoe.blogspot.com/2009/10/dedication.htmlNomadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686282358562565742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-16330056414098034502010-03-01T07:08:59.114+00:002010-03-01T07:08:59.114+00:00Hi Kelly,

In saying that, I am certain that I once lived in a haunted house.
