What would you do

I've been following a scrapping friend for years on FB. Her son recently passed away from Cancer at 13.
Here's the question...
A few weeks ago I was out running errands and got this massive headache around 1 ish. Went home and rested the rest of the day. At about 10:50 at night, the headache was suddenly gone... like here on minute and gone the next.
Turns out the next day I find out that my friends son passed away at 10:50.
I believe it was me feeling the pain of this special child.

Do you believe in things like this?
I wanted to post this on FB but I'm not sure how others feel about things like this. Should I post? Should I mention to my friend privately?
 
This brought tears to my eyes... I am so sorry for your friend and the loss of her son.
I probably would not mention this on FB because unless you have a good group of FB friends that you know will support you in things like this you are likely to get unkind comments because so many feel they can be utterly rude when there is a screen between them and the one they are posting to.
I would however, mention this privately to your friend when you feel the time is right.

I know saying these things are going to put me out there too and I know that we all have different beliefs, but we all need to be respectful of other's beliefs even if they don't line up with our own.

I haven't had this particular experience, but I have had a few other similar type things happen to me and I strongly believe that this is the Holy Spirit working in us. Maybe for you, it was a prompt to be thinking and praying for your friend's son. Even though you didn't know at the time that he was near death, the Lord did and would understand a general prayer even without mentioning names.
 
That is so sad. I feel for the family and for you. I think personally, that anything is possible. I would mention it to your friend later on down the line. I have had friends say 'strange' things to me like this after the loss of a loved one. I have always appreciated hearing their experiences. It's comforting to know that they feel a connection. I'm not sure about the FB question. I am only on there with my business. So have no experience with this sort of thing.
