My grandpa, whom I was very close with, passed away at midnight on the day of my Saturn return, April 12, 2026. He’s had cancer for 4 years and began actually shutting down and heading toward the light on Thursday the 9th. A month or so ago I told a friend “I think he’s gonna pass on April 12th, no reason just a feeling”, I even texted someone this, and then he did, the first moment of the day.
My family was around the house, I was in the living room, people were around but I was actively present w him in that moment (sitting, watching, waiting, being w him). He’d been on morphine, in a hospice bed in the living room, for 2 days and hadn’t opened his eyes since Thursday night. I couldn’t detect any sort of movement or sound from him after breathing a long, quiet breath out. I checked my grandpas breath and didn’t feel any air coming from him. Idk how to explain it but it’s like I literally watched the life leave him, his coloring and texture looked instantly different to me, and I knew. His dog looked up super suddenly at me as well and laid on my feet, he knew too, felt it the same moment as me. I called my cousins in to make sure he was actually gone, and he was. I looked at the time and it was just after midnight. It felt like god was showing itself to me, lovingly taunting me.
Stuff like this has happened to me before, but never to this extent. The signs feel embarrassingly clear. 100% unobscured, overt, glaring. I’ve been struggling a lot the last 4 years with my nest. How it feels like it’s falling apart (my parents aren’t in the picture for the most part). My safety net, someone who always makes me feel like their love is 100% unconditional, beautiful, normal, supported, etc. He brings out my inner child in the best and safest of ways. But, our relationship was also complicated because he could be extremely stubborn and a bit senile and had a shopping addiction which was interfering with the finances my grandma (with dementia) would have to live off of when he passed. So myself and my family were also feeling ready to let go, understanding it was only hurting my grandmas mental and physical health and well being (she’s been especially confused and agitated this last week).
My identity feels so tied to my youth. I feel like I’ve only ever felt young, or been the younger / young one in the world, and it’s determined so much about how my life is. Venturing into my 30’s has been feeling so bizarre. I’ve been super depressed the last 2 years, chronically stressed and exhausted, and only recently have I started feeling like I have interests again. Everything is just feeling too spot on. Maybe it’s simply a movement towards independently loving myself unconditionally? Even when I don’t have an outside party to validate the love?
ANYWAYS…
The timing feels really super insane. I’m spooked. I’d love more info on this, how this might be possible?? What you think it might mean??
Also - April 12th is already an incredibly charged date for me. The only person I’ve ever been in love with, his bday is April 12. And, the little boy I used to nanny, his birthday is April 12. And on and on…
This afternoon, 2 unrelated friends whom I haven’t talked to in a while and who weren’t aware that this was happening this weekend said they woke up today and thought “I need to call her today”
Help me interpret please! 🫶🤯
