Hi Victoria,

Firstly, I am so sorry for your loss.

Secondly, yes! I have experienced almost exactly the same phenomena.

Last year (2019) early Feb my beloved grandfather got the 'all clear' from bladder cancer (diagnosed stage 1 three years before and not something that the doctors had ever suggested to us was a disaster scenario). However, he started to become generally weak and tired and felt just not himself March/April. 
 

May 2nd he had a horrendous stroke, and the most awful months of my life ensued. At the end of June 2019 he was diagnosed with malignant ascites - an end stage symptom of aggressive cancer (despite the all clear in Feb!).. my mother, sister, uncle and I all proceeded to move in to my grandparents house and nursed him for 5 weeks until his passing. What an experience of absolute life and love. 
 

Around 6 months afterwards, one morning I woke up (half asleep) and my grandpa was sat on my bed stroking my hand. I have never experience anything so real in my life whilst also knowing it was not a physical experience.. in my head he was definitely there with me, scratchy hands and all! 
 

Fast forward to this year and my dad is now battling stage 4 cancer.. just no letting up with this disease sometimes.. life is hard. It makes you appreciate the small things and you battle on everyday. 
 

Much love
