Four years ago, I can vividly remember when my father passed away. I am on my father’s deathbed when his heart stopped. It was the time for him to rest and join our creator. The weird thing is that my wrist watch stopped at exact 12:20 AM.
“What’s the significance of the time?”
I am not sure if it's a coincidence since my wrist watch stopped at 12:20 AM and my sister’s birthday is on December 20th. My sister is her favorite because she’s only the girl amongst the siblings. Regardless, I thought that the clock will stop on its own. In the movie, I had watched that the family members will stop the clock intentionally.
“Did anyone of you experience that the clock stopped when a person died?”

That is very significant Shavkat.
I believe these things happen for a reason.
When my Father passed, though I was in another state, miles away, a coin had jumped off my table of its own accord.
RIP to our Fathers.

@Shavkat Did you keep the watch as a keepsake?

@infatuatedbby Yes, I keep it. I also had kept the money that I had put in his pocket during his wake and got it before his burial.

It has never happened to me, but it does make you wonder doesn't it?? So many things that we don't understand.

No, but other things did happen but at that moment I did not realize what they were about as I was never told of their deaths right away.

@Shavkat
It was awful to find out about and to take it all in as well.
Price I paid for not living in my own Country at the time.

No I got married here and live over here and when you do things like that Family at least a part of it disowned you.
For my part that was true brothers and things like that with their holier than thou attitude.

@Shavkat I wouldn't write it off to coincidence. You know what they were. This is the way our loved ones make contact with us from beyond the grave.

@snowy22315 I agree. The restless souls will find a way to know that they are there.

Sorry about your loss.
There are things that we can't understand what or how, but we seem to connect it. Maybe your Dad was making his presence known by doing that and maybe that conveys a message to your sister as well.

The day when he falls into a comatose state, I had called my sister. I told her about my father's condition and she needs to go home from her business trip. I think he had saved her. Because her colleague was ambushed on the day where she had traveled back home.

I would write it off as a coincidence. But you might not, since it was such a personal event. My husband has two wrist watches and both of them stopped working. What are the odds? He's the only one on the house that uses a watch. Everybody else at home uses their cell phones or their computer or clocks in the house.
