I work in a nursing home. This is the last stop for these poor old souls before they go to the great beyond.

So I have been around many who were dying. I remember one lady on one of her last nights on earth reaching for the ceiling and saying "Pull me over, please pull me over."

My mother died in the hospital. She was riddled with cancer in her abdomen. The nurses told my sister that she asked them if she could leave now on the morning of her death.

Your story reminded me of something. My mothers uncle passed away a couple of years ago. I don't remember what was wrong with him, maybe a stroke, because he was pretty non-responsive and hardly spoke. His wife and kids were in his bedroom, because they knew it was just a matter of time before he passed on. Out of the blue he sits bolt upright, smiles, and puts his arms out towards the ceiling like you would if you were going to hug someone. Then he stops smiling and lays back down. His daughter ran over to him and asked if he was okay. He looked at her and clear as day and- very annoyed- said, "No I'm not okay! Ernie was here and he said I couldn't go because it's not time yet!" Ernie was his brother who had died several years before. He died the next day.

When my aunt was dying she spoke of seeing angels, and she wasn't on narcotics at the time.

My paternal grandfather died in the early 70s. Right before he died he suddenly sat up in bed and reached out for something. I think my grandmother asked him what he was seeing but he was already gone.
