The first instance was on July 26th, 1995, between 2 and 3 AM. I was just nine years old, and the house was quiet, yet I felt an overwhelming sense of dread. A few hours later, at 6 AM, my parents received a phone call. My grandmother had passed away during the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"826\" height=\"463\" src=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-979.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-979.png 826w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-979-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-979-768x430.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second incident occurred on May 29th, 2002, at around the same time \u2014 2 to 3 AM. Once again, I awoke in the dead of night, my heart racing for no apparent reason. Four hours later, we learned that my grandfather had died at 7 AM that morning. This second experience deepened my belief that something beyond our understanding connects us to moments of profound loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-980.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-980.png 1024w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-980-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-980-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-980-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve never suffered from sleeping disorders or anxiety, and most nights, I sleep peacefully.
