I See Dead People: Dreams and Visions of the Dying | Dr. Christopher Kerr | TEDxBuffalo

Dr. Christopher Kerr speaks at a 2015 TEDx event Buffalo, New York.
Dr. Christopher W. Kerr is the Chief Medical Officer at The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care, where he has worked since 1999. His background in research has evolved from bench science towards the human experience of illness as witnessed from the bedside, specifically patients’ dreams and visions at the end of life. Although medically ignored, these near universal experiences often provide comfort and meaning as well as insight into the life led and the death anticipated.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I was scheduled for surgery in 2010 and the morning of my surgery my mom and sister found out my uncle passed away suddenly the night before. They didnt tell me because they were afraid I wouldnt have my surgery. I had surgery and came home several hours later. I went to bed and slept through the night. My uncle visited me, standing at the foot of my bed and said I'd be just fine and he wanted to let me know my cancer was gone and he would keep an eye on me. Then he said goodbye and he loved me. It was vivid, and real.

I worked at a hospital as a transporter. I moved beds, medicine, bloodtests and patients, including those who had recently passed away. Something I've noticed was that nurses were sometimes scared to follow me down into the morgue. They were scared of their own patients, just because the life had left the body. I was nervous and scared at first, but after a while I took my job with honor. A person's body is their greatest treasure, and it was my job to make sure that their treasure got moved down to the morgue with dignity. Some days were hard, some were not. But I always made sure that the feet of the deceased were properly tucked away, that their arms were crossed over their chest, that their body layed properly on the bed before I closed the door. It might just be corpses to some, but to me they're still valuable, and should be treated with respect.

I was a volunteer helper for Hospice. I would go to the homes of patients and give the families some relief to run errands, take a break, etc. while I watched their loved one. One case involved a 90 year old man, very close to death. While sitting with him, he suddenly bolted upright, looked around his bed and said to me, with eyes bright and shinning, “They are all here, they tell me a party is going on and they came to get me.” He started calling out names of men, interspersing them with loud cowboy type whoops. When he finally fell silent, eyes closed he had the biggest smile on his face. I had written down all he had said at the request of his son. Later that day the son returned and told me that the names were of his fathers best friends, fellow cowboys that had worked a cattle ranch, out west, for years. They had all passed away. I can’t tell you how much joy it gave the son to think that his father’s friends had come for him to take him to a party.

One of the last things my great uncle said as he was dying was, "my cows are here"!! He was a farmer with cows that he was very attached to, almost like pets. This is not only reassuring to me concerning the subject of an afterlife, but also makes me hopefully that there are animals present in paradise. It wouldn't really be paradise without them. ❤️🐾

When my bff was dying of cancer, she was fighting. She didn't want to die. She was still a young 60 yrs old. The day before her body gave out, she became at peace. She stopped fighting and said, "I love you all, but my dad's here and I'm going to go with him." We both believed in reincarnation and promised that in the next life we would come back as sisters.

On the morning of my husband's uncle passing ,he came into his dream and said " Goodbye". My husband jumped out of his bed n said to me , " I think my uncle has passed away."

I will forever be haunted by my mother's passing. She didn't have a peaceful passing. She was not communicating, and was literally fighting..rolling around, (I've wondered if she was in extreme pain). Couple hours later, I wasn't with her, the person with her, said there was nothing inspiring and comforting for us to hold onto as she went, she had just stilled, opened her eyes for a moment, and left us.

I was at a football game and the guy next to me fell out with a heart attack. They stopped the game and hit him often with the paddles. His color was an odd grey and I knew he was gone. I kept looking up because people always tell of floating up above their body. I kept staring up but saw nothing. The guy suddenly gave them a heartbeat and he was taken by helicopter to the hospital. I felt compelled to visit him two days later and when I walked in the hospital he immediately recognized me as the guy "who kept looking up at me," he said that I must have seen him because I was looking right at him above us. I left his room with very large goose bumps.

I am so sorry for your losses. It is very, very common especially for the elderly that when they are closer to passing that they see and call out to their moms. Or dads or both. It’s actually so common that it is one of the things that a hospice nurse might tell you that is a sign of the time of passing getting closer. I think it is really nice to think that maybe those who go before us are waiting. I sure hope that to be true. I feel like it is.

Looking back on sure he was calling for his mother ......"momma" .....because the night actually less than 24 hrs before he died I was sitting in the room alone with him, watching him, at times he would look as if he had stopped breathing.

I previously worked in EMS and had heard of these types of common experiences of dying patients. I recently had to put down my beloved medical alert dog of 15 years this past October. I pet him and tried to comfort him as he laid down, by telling him not to be afraid because I was with him. I don’t have family, so he was my best friend and my only real family. I kept whispering to him to please come and find me when it’s my turn to die. I want nothing more than to be reunited with my dog Bruno so we can be together for ever and both go home together. I don’t care about anyone or anything else. I just want to be with my best friend Bruno again.

[@covidinfectedmonkeypox6775]

When people die the chemical DMT Is released into the brain and causes hallucinations peaceful hallucinations often causing the people to see family members who have already passed away this phenomenon has been studied by neurological scientists and doctors and they studied people who had flat lined on operation tables during surgeries and because they had technically died chemicals were released and caused them to experience out of body experiences and dead relatives comforting them but religious people don't want to hear that it's caused by chemicals releasing after the brain stops receiving oxygen instead most people prefer to believe that there is an afterlife an i don't blame them I'd like to believe that too but unfortunately I wasn't able to just accept that there was an afterlife I wanted to know if there were any other possible reasons that could cause people to experience these visions and after researching for a long time and following what these scientists and doctors were learning I had to agree with them because it's evidence that's been presented and can't be ignored like when a person takes DMT it causes the same type of effects that it does when it's naturally released by the brain it seems that our body is so impressively designed that it has a way of making death peaceful and not scary which is remarkable and at the same time not surprising considering how impressive the human body well all living things bodies but ya I still like to listen to people tell these stories because deep down I of course want to still believe that there is an afterlife I have lots of people that would be there 😊

We sat together and talked for hours. Then he came to me again as I was waking up. He said tell your mother I am there for her also. I messaged her at 5 am (surgery at 7) and I told her what he said. She was astonished and indicated she had been up hours crying by that time. My dad ironically died during surgery. I was afforded peace by that dream.

My stepdad had visitations from his family and friends 2months prior to his death. First incident was- He told my mum that he was having good time with his friends, his friends visited him and they had a party in his home. When actually we all knew he was by himself. From that day he had visitations from members of dead family and friends for 2 months. He would talk to them but at the same time was aware what was happening in this world. Doctors told my mum he will die soon. Even though he was fine, didn’t have any illnesses but I guess they knew that his time has come because of these visitations. They called it hallucinations, which in reality is very real.

My wife and I , along with my sister in law took care of my 88 year old father when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. About a month before he passed away, they had this little dog. She was always growling looking towards the corner of his hospital bed Hospice had set up in my parents living room for him. I asked my dad, what is wrong with that dog? He said she probably senses my mom and dad. They are here waiting to take me home. I asked him how long have they been here? He said just a few days. A month later he died, After he died. Mom, she was 89 years old at the time..she said now she can go ahead and go home to Heaven as well. She said she was just waiting for dad to die so she could go . Dad died June of 2011, Mom died in September of 2011. She died suddenly. I thought I’d share my story of people seeing love ones before they die. It was really a eye opening experience when my father told me about his parents being there waiting there to take him home. I’ve heard story’s about that. They were married for over 60 years. I really miss them...it was an Honor to take care of both of my parents while they were in poor health.

I am just 75 and understand what you are saying and as a friend of God I believe you are right. I have learned much in 75 years but the most important thing learned (sorry to say learned in seems the past 10 years) is I don’t know anything compared to what I could and should know by now. I have said to my Father that I want to out live my wife so she will never be alone. Father gets that, and why not, He knows. Sure I talk to God, He’s always open to conversation and ends up telling me stuff, like what you are telling me if only I would pay attention. You are a honorable, reasonable and logical man so is God, this I do know.

My mother was Buddhist. She joined this religion after marriage and while stateside. She practiced for over 55 years this faith of hers. When she was near death, I told her that if Jesus reaches ou to her, take His hand please. The next 2 weeks until she died, she would barely look at me. I was really torn but not regretful about speaking to her of Christ. Her last few days she was mostly asleep.. What comforts me is that God spoke to her in a way I couldn't and took her home after she reached back. I had three dreams after she died which showed me, thru God that this was His work. He gives us dreams and visions to help us know He loves us.

Went by him one day and he was looking up towards the ceiling smiling his head off, looked so happy. I asked him if was OK, barely moving his head, he said yes. I went into the sluice room, only for a couple of minutes, came out and he had died. But I'll always remember the sheer look of joy on his face, I believe he was seeing something, or someone which made him so happy. That was nearly fifty years ago, and I've never forgotten.

We have to agree to forget the truth in order to gain and grow from the experience. Just like you know Movies aren't real but you agree to forget in order to really get into it. Now that the veil is thinning some of us are remembering. I just happen to recall more than usual.

I agree with you about people not being horrible to each other, but God our creator doesn't forget (smile) and i do believe that is why we have de ja vues, or feeling like weve met someone before.

Some I already knew for years, but their circumstance would lead me to them but not knowing right away it's that person until I'm face to face with them.

I can see him (his spirit) looking at me then at my mom sleeping at the hospital chair. “I’m worried about your mom,” he said. It was hard to him to let go of her, together for almost 50 years. He was looking to her for guidance & permission. Permission for him to leave this realm and go to another. To confirm she will ok without him. He wouldn’t leave until she said it’s ok to go sweetheart. I’ll be ok. :) it was the most heart touching moment of my life. I lost my Dad but I gained the true meaning of love.

My dad died when I was 9. He’d been in the hospital after a surgery and I think he knew he was nearing the end of his life, but I remember him being very emotional when we went to visit him. That night after coming home, he visited me in my dream. It was kind of what Heaven looks like to any child. We were in the sky surrounded by clouds, and while I’m sure there were other people around I just distinctly remember seeing my father dressed all in white. He was very tearful and said that he was sorry and that he loved me. Then I woke up and when my mom’s phone rang I knew that it was the hospital and that he had died. I’ve never told my family about this because I know they wouldn’t understand or would think it was just a dream, but it was real. Thanks to this final meeting, I never cried about my father’s death. Part of me thought it was weird for the longest time, but then I realized I’d been able to say my goodbyes peacefully and I knew he was safe so of course I wasn’t sad. I’ve always been a bit afraid of the actual process of dying, but after that day I’ve never been afraid of life after death.

Greetings. It may sound weird but I have the same story. My dad was at the hospital due to COVID-19 and I was with him the day before his death and by night I came home for rest and my brother went to look after him. I could not sleep all night I prayed for him alot and then in the morning I got asleep for a while and at that nap (((I saw my father in dream he told me for shopping and I said ok I will go it in a minute I am little busy now. Then he stood and said it's all right son I will go, I said no I am just leaving but resisted and forced me to stay and left on his bicycle waving behind the back and at the very moment I woke up by a scream of my sister holding phone. I was half awake and I was telling her as if I was still in dream, "has he left?" She screamed yes he died. And Then I woke up completely and realized that he has gone from our life at the same moment that I dreamed him leaving. ))) Both dream leaving and real dieing was at same time. I was 19 and That was the first family members I lost as a grown up boy. It was extremely difficult but now I am relaxed and waiting for his peacefull call.

A few years after my Nanny (grandmother) passed, I had a dream where she appeared vibrant and illuminated. I had never had a dream of her before or since. She only said two words "Its True"! And so I was racking my brain as to what exactly she was referring to. After about a week or less, I remembered I had had a conversation about God and Afterlife with her. She knew I was a believer in the Afterlife and asked me what made me so sure. I told her (at the time she was in her 80s) I was pretty sure, but that is more likely that she would know for certain before me. So we both made an agreement that whoever found out the Truth first would try to tell the other one!

This is about a pet that visited me from the other side. My childhood cat, Meowzers, passed after 18 years of life in April of this year, he was the healthiest happiest cat I’ve seen, even up until those last weeks. It’s one of the most difficult losses I’ve dealt with so far, especially the first few months. I dreamt about him a lot but always woke up missing him more. Not comforted. Until I had a dream in June, I don’t know what took him so long…but you know cats follow their own agenda. In the dream I had been taken back to my final morning with him, coming upstairs at 6am seeing him hardly be able to lift his head, running to wake up my parents, but in the dream they said, “it’s okay tell him you love him he’s right here.” And then my cat spoke to me and said “I’m okay.” And we sat on the kitchen floor while he watched angels flying around the room that I couldn’t see but I knew they were there. And he started to walk up into the air with them. I woke up sobbing and feeling so at peace. I knew that had been my cat that had visited me. Anyways thanks for listening.

I regret when I hear excellent talks such as this one that Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross is not mentioned . She was the first to begin talking to dying patients about their deaths and document it's value.

She helped establish the hospice care system in this country.

I'm not 100% sure what he had but I think it may have also been cancer. One day, he told his wife that his son George came for a visit the night before. Though he was told George had been dead for six months, he kept insisting that it was really him, and he died not long after that. Apparently, he also came and visited my Grandma to let him know that he was okay in the afterlife (she's still alive and that was almost 40 years ago so clearly that was not an end of life hallucinatory thing)

When I was sitting with my dying aunt, who was in a coma, I was the one who had the experience. I looked up and saw two people standing a little way from my aunt's bed. It took me a moment to realise that I was looking at my grandparents. I was shocked to say the least. Later, I spoke to my mother about what had happened. She was not surprised, and told me of others in the family who had had similar experiences. My father thought we were mad! When I was sitting with my mother, as she was dying, the curtains around the bed moved, in fact one of them landed on my head. There was no open window, and I couldn't explain how it had happened. Then I saw my grandparents. Most importantly, mum, although comatose, smiled, and her face showed that she was at peace. I told my father to prepare himself because I knew mum was about to leave us, which, within a couple of minutes she did. 12 weeks later I was sat next to my father as he was seriously, but not fatally ill. He had laughed at mum and me over our "experiences", but as I held his hand, I felt him stiffen, his eyes widened, his mouth dropped. I could not see her, but I quietly asked if it was mum, and he nodded. I was the only one not surprised that he died a few hours later. I have had a close brush with death, being told I had only 48 hours to live. The doctors and nurses couldn't understand my calmness. I wasn't able to tell them that no one had come to me, so I knew the doctors were wrong. My parents were, as you can imagine, unhappy about the news, but mum immediately stopped worrying when I told her I'd not seen my grandparents. I know many will scoff. Many will think I'm mad, or worse a liar. However, I do not care. I know what I experienced, and it gives me great strength. I do not fear death, I'm not ready to go yet, but when I do, I will not be fearful.

My brother died on my first day of school after my holiday break in 2009, he appeared to me in a dream or vision and we walked around the school as we were talking since it was a boarding school. Later that day I was called in the office and told that we have a family function that I had to attend, immediately the words "Please God let it not be my brother" kept running in my head, although he was very sick I did not ever imagine loosing him. The trip took 8-9 hours by bus but the words kept playing in my mind. Normally my dad picked me from the bus stop but this time round I went home by myself, I was 18 then. I reached home and saw a picture of my brother framed, he was wearing his school uniform, I broke down and cried because , "please God let it not be my brother" was actually my brother, it took me years for my heart to be calm. 9 years later I lost my Father, I act strong but am writing this with tears in my eyes, it's really difficult to loose someone that you love.

It can be anywhere you want". It made me realize that I can imagine anything I want. I don't have to believe. All I have to do is imagine. So, imagine whatever you want because, ultimately, that's all we have.

I had a lonely, difficult childhood. Never saw my father till I was 17 years old. He was distant and very cold with me, maybe because of guilt for not looking after me. The day he died I was on the other side of the globe. I was staying in a friend's house then suddenly an old, dusty, broken grandfather's clock started making a very loud noise. About 5 minutes later my mother was on the phone saying that my father has died, on the hour that the clock started banging. When my friend got back home I told her that the clock was banging. She thought I was crazy because that clock hadn't been on use for 20 years. Second. My aunt and I had a small disagreement before she died of cancer. On the hour of her death, I was again on the other side of the globe. It was noon and was about to enter a huge mess hall with trays and trays of food lined up. As I opened the mess hall door a splash of flower scents, like that of a string perfume hit me on the face. Again, I heard the news of her passing. I guess dying people want to reconcile to people whom they have hurt or wronged. I have forgiven them from day one.

My Mom passed away in August of 2018. She had a hard life, because my Dad was an alcoholic ( but still a good man in his soul). Because of this she was very bitter for many years. In the few months before her death she became much more at peace and would just look quietly and lovingly at my Dad, which was so nice to see. She was clearly at peace. In my soul, I knew she would not be with us for much longer. 6 days after her death the sun was shining into our kitchen, and the most beautiful picture appeared on our wall from the sun through the trees. My daughter saw it first and we were in awe. It was a very very clear picture and looked like an angel to us and to all we have shown it to. One of my sisters laughed and said it look like a bat to her and within two days she happened to glance at the TV and it was showing the ceiling of a famous church with a painting of god surrounded by angels EXACTLY like the one that was on our wall. I so wish I could post these pictures for you all to see. It truly is miraculous.

Once when I was a child, I was eating a candy and at the same time playing and laughing with my brother. A couple moments later I realized with a horror that I couldn't breathe. I had accidentally inhaled a hard candy and it was stuck in my throat, blocking the air. Being unable to breathe, I looked at the sky and said to myself "well that the end". My little brother wasn't able to understand what is going on so I rushed to my parents that were in their room in hope that they would save me. And then the weird thing happened that I still cannot explain to this day. The moment I have turned the door-handle to exit our room, I clearly felt a warm man-sized palm hitting me on my back. A couple seconds later after the hit, I coughed and candy flew out of my mouth. My parents rushed to me, asking if I am okay. I said "yes, I am okay, thanks to my brother that has hit me on my back"... just to see moments later that my brother was still at the place where we playing games, too far to even reach me, less said to hit me hard with his palm. I still remember that feeling and that moment as if it was today, but it was 16 years ago. I have asked my brother multiple times if it was him but he always said no, that he never moved. To this day I don't know how to explain that story other than it was my guarding angel who saved me. You can believe this story or not, but for me it was a clear proof that there is something out there.

I just want to share an experience I had on the health care hall at a retirement center so that it may bring comfort to those of you that were not with their loved ones when they passed. I spent the night with my father as he was not well and as I got up early in the morning and left his room to use the bathroom I saw a young man dressed in khakis and a blue golf shirt. I could see through his body and it was pulsating with beautiful colors. I immediately realized it was a friend from high school that had passed years ago. He was leaning against the wall of his father’s room. After getting over the shock of seeing him I felt an immediate peace but had no clue why I was seeing him. Two days later his dad passed and I put the two together, he was waiting to cross his father over. I can’t tell many people this as I’m called crazy. Yes, I can see those that have passed as well as receive massages from them. ( can be a gift or a curse) I have always wondered why I was shone this and then the answer for me arrived. My father was choking and the staff didn’t notice and my father passed. I believe I was given that early morning moment to help me deal with my fathers death a few months later. Our love ones do come for us and I’m sure the minute my father was suffering his family swooped in and helped him cross over. Another interesting part of this was my grandfather would come to me in my dreams and explain and tell me things that had to do with my father and his health care. Two nights before he died my grandfather came to me in a dream but said nothing he just had a solemn look on his face. Now, I realize he was trying to give me a heads up. I hope this helps someone!

My mother 90 years old was in hospice being given less than a week to live because of an inoperable bowel obstruction. As she faded away they had a tube in her nose to remove bile from her stomach. She hadn't eaten for a week, no IV just water. As she weakened she started talking to dead relatives and holding conversations with them. She was wide awake and talking to me just seconds before and making sense. This went on day and night and I started to greet the visions also to make her feel better. I argued with the hospice nurses that there must be something they could do to try to unblock the intestine. I always look at things from a mechanical view point. I was staying with her overnight in the dark listening to her talk up a storm with people, family. Friends that had passed.I recorded multiple conversations and one night I noticed she would ask a question to the deceased and actually pause for the answer. I played it back over my headphones in the dark from an iPhone and was freaked out that during the pauses by her I could hear static like energy then silence before she spoke again. Needless to say, I jumped off the rubber cot and turned on a few lights I had goose bumps and a sense of calm at the same time. She told a nun that her dead sister showed her heaven and she could stay but she decided to stay here. The nun was really freaked out like she never heard that before, a revelation. I got more determined to do something for my dying mother. One night I brought in some warm Diet Coke and filled her sippy cup to the top, she drank the whole thing. I did that for three nights and on a Thursday the nurses said her intestines cleared out. One night mom pulled the nose tube out of her stomach and they decided not to reinstall it because they had to have three nurses hold her down to do it. They were still insisting her organs were shutting down and that would speed up the process. She had lost 25 lbs by then, and hadn't eaten for nearly three weeks. So I ordered her scrambled eggs and juice. She ate everything. That was on Mother's Day May 12th. She's been eating on her own since then it's been 67 days and no problems. She quit talking to dead relatives, and has even called me on the phone. What I took away from this experience is I'm not afraid of death and believe what I heard was actually happening. I had hoped for a glimpse of acknowledgment of her seeking a deceased relative but she spoke volumes. It especially made me feel good that her 2 cats that passed away over the years came to escort her to the door with the light behind it, but she said she was not ready to go. Mom had open heart surgery 11 years ago and cancer surgery 7 years ago with a 10% chance of survival because the doctor nicked her intestine and had to reopen her the next day and she wound up with a colostomy bag. So she recovered from that and said she just wanted to live to be 90. She recently said, maybe I should have said 100. God Bless Irma.

At some point I realized he was dead and that I’m dreaming. He then looked at me and smiled. I said “oh my god I love you and I miss you so much.” Then I woke up.

The hour before my husband passed away due to cancer , we laughed so much for the first time since he had been diagnosed . He did say that they were all here with outstretched arms . The peace in his face gives me comfort even though it broke my heart losing him, after 30 years together, it was comforting knowing he was never alone . R. I..P bbz ❤🙏

I did the near death experience thing in 1978 after a terrible car crash but I would like to share someone else's story. In the 90's I was working on an ambulance and the call was a CPR in progress at a church fellowship hall right across from a fire hall. An elderly gentleman was leaving and fell over right inside the doorway. Firemen ran across the street and started effective CPR within a few minutes of the "witnessed" event. A witnessed arrest is just that. Someone saw the person collapse so we know exactly how long they been without oxygen and blood flow. The secret to saving lives is basically the ABC's: Airway, making sure you have a clear airway. Breathing, necessary for life and Circulation, oxygenated blood moving thru the body. CPR is only "effective" if you are able to provide all three things. If your compressions are correct but you are only circulating blood without oxygen you are accomplishing nothing. By same token if you have oxygenated blood but incorrectly doing compressions then the blood doesn't circulate. So on this call I'm thinkin we might have a chance. As you arrive on scene you do an "overview" no matter what the call. As we enter I see the firemen working on an elderly male. His shirt is open and I can see the scars indicating previous open heart surgery. You not supposed to make judgement calls but my first thot was that we were wasting time and energy. This was extremely unusual for me. My partner and I had had 10 (correction. Only 8) CPR "saves" in a 12 month period. Some medics never have a true save. My medic was the best we had at getting a patient intubated, inserting the breathing tube, and as an Advanced EMT I did skills EMTs were not supposed to do, by law. I had told the chief, my friend from childhood, to not teach me lifesaving skills and then tell me i couldn't use them. So my partner and i had a rhythm on CPR. EMTs are not even permitted to hook the patient up to the heart monitor, at least in Tennessee in the 90s, or give any drugs except Epinephrine for anaphylactic shock or Narcan for opiate overdose. So while he was getting patient intubated and IV started I was doin all the other things like the monitor, loading drugs in syringes we would need. Neway, the gentleman was in complete flat line. But we got a heart rhythm back on the way to hospital with me driving. A fireman rode to ER with us.....bout impossible for one person to do effective CPR. So we got to the ER and helped there for a bit but got another call and had to leave. A couple hours later we went back by the ER to see how the gentleman was doing. He was sitting up eating ice cream. I told him I had went thru similar experience and asked him what he felt or could remember while he was flat lined, or basically dead. He said he didn't feel anything. Didn't feel sick or dizzy. Had no idea it had happened. He said in his mind he walked out to his old van, drove home, got out and went in and said, "I bent down to feed my little dogs and next thing I knew I was here with these bright lights and all these people with masks on. I had no idea why I was here or how I got here". In his mind there was no interruption in his life. So if we hadn't have gotten him back would he have went on with his life as he knew it but on some other plain or level? My experience was totally unlike his but my injuries were so terrible I was given up as dying to the point my shattered pelvis was not operated on. I had many other injuries but other than stabilizing me, sewing up my many lacerations including reattaching my torn scalp, they put me in a room and gave me drugs so I could die comfortable. A month later was told I would never walk. My worry over the years, wife sez is ridiculous, is that I stayed dead in that reality but awoke in this one. That in another reality she went on without me with a totally different life and I went on in this one. Yeah, I know, but after talking to that gentleman and others we were able to get back, all with a different story, I'm not sure about anything EXCEPT the final act of dying is painless. It's the living that is painful. In my life of police officer, medic, military contractor I've been present at hundreds of deaths and seen hundreds more dead. Seen people survive unbelievable trauma and yet some died from very minor injuries. I cant remember all we saved but remember bout everyone we cudnt. Then there's my other side as the person trained to take lives. PTSD is my constant companion. Doubt if this gets read but I wish a safe life to all ya'll. Sorry for long post. And have hundreds of stories. Guess they will die with me. Probly for the best . rick, 2019.

My Dad saw his deceased mother at the foot of his bed. When he passed he came to my daughter in a dream. A bright light at the window woke her up and he came through the light, wearing a white robe. She said the light didn't hurt her eyes. He came over to the bed, hugged and kissed her. Said he'd always be with her, that he loved her and he'd see her in the morning. That morning was his funeral. She was 7, and at 33 she remembers every second of it.

[@NurseSnow2U]

Oh honey, this breaks my heart and I too can unfortunately say it is a gnawing, aching void that I wouldn’t wish on even the worst humanity had to offer. I lost my fiancé, the love of my life and my dearest friend on April 8th, 2020. He was only 43. I graduated from nursing school one month later, grateful that there was no commencement as I couldn’t cope with the thought that he would not and COULD NOT be here with me to celebrate one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. Almost 2 entire YEARS out I thought I was doing better, I met someone who is a beautiful but tormented soul. I’ve learned so much, I’ve gained so much clarity and purpose, I started a charity in honor of his unconditional love that helps children that have lost a parent or caregiver to COVID. I am the one with the chronic illness, the one that has been so close to “the other side” including one experience where I fully crossed over and was given a choice in relinquishing myself from the physical pain I’m in every single day (sickle cell anemia)….I NEVER would’ve imagined my dear Sam would be the one to leave me first. As a very spiritually inclined woman I know in the depths of my soul that physical death cannot separate us from love. Love is energy and it never dies….but it doesn’t always soothe the fracture in my soul that was created when he transitioned. It was the beginning of the pandemic, there were no FaceTime calls, I couldn’t be at his bedside to pray over him or to beg and plead with the universe that may just maybe if he could hear my voice he’d pull through. About midway through his 3 weeks on the ventilator I could FEEL that his astral body had ascended. All of the parts of him that made him the greatest love I’ve ever known were now free from a body ravaged by an unseen enemy. I often stay up for days wondering what his last moments were like, was he aware? Was he afraid? What would he have told me even if only with his eyes if I would’ve been able to appreciate his physicality one last time. There were no options for funerals or memorials or ANY of the standard grieving processes we a lot for ourselves. I am so sorry that you too know the often times unbearable pain of trying to move in a world that wants to “get back to normal” as you scream and rage at the void because there will never be a sense of normalcy for you without your partner by your side. If you ever need an ear, PLEASE feel free to reach out. Our darling husbands live on through the love they’ve bestowed upon us. All in all, life is a temporal experience for us ALL and I am just so grateful, even in those moments where it feels my grief will CONSUME me and I’ve contemplated submitting to it…I am reminded of how blessed I am to have experienced pure unadulterated LOVE in a world where that is almost non existent. Send you so much love and healing energy. -Kryss, almost wife of Samuel Wade 💔 🕊

My father was a physician. He always said, "Dying's easy. It's living that's hard." On his deathbed, my sister, a member of the clergy, asked him if he was scared. He replied, "No. I'm curious." ¶ Some years before his death, perhaps a decade, I proposed a pact with my father. I said to him, "Dad, whichever of us dies first, probably it will be you, but it could be me, I could walk out of here today, get run over by a truck and be dead within the hour, but likely it will be you (he was thirty years older than me), let's make a pact that whoever dies first comes back and visits the other." Dad smiled, nodded affirmatively and said, "If I can." Closer to his death I reminded him of our pact. For six weeks after his death I waited with eager anticipation. Nothing. I shrugged it off and thought 'so much for that.' Then, the next Sunday, I decided to lie down and take a nap after lunch. I went into a deep, one cycle (ninety minutes), sleep. When I waked up I was aware of having had a vivid dream, like none other I've ever experienced. In fact, I don't think "dream" is the right word. "Vision" is a better word to describe that experience. I was in tears on waking. My father had come to visit me. A few months later he came once more. To the reader I say, "Make of this what you like, but it seemed uniquely remarkable to me."

This happened to me after my father's death. It was months later, but I laid down to take a nap. In this dream visitation state I was in a white square room. The room felt as though it were elevated. I was sittting in a chair and to my left there was a white door. The door opened and my father was there. He was positively glowing with a golden aura, he was strong and standing upright, no longer sick and disabled. He looked like he was in his early 30s. He reached his hand out toward me and as soon as I touched his hand, I received three sentences of information all at once. He didn't talk, it just instantly came to my mind when I touched his hand. "Everything is okay. You are on the right path. I will help you." All of those were sent at once, in a split-second, making perfect sense. Then I woke up gasping, my body jolted/back arched as I woke instantly. Then I started bawling. It was so powerful.

when my grandmother was in the hospital I would go and see her everyday. She was in a room with two beds. One day I was visiting her and she asked me why is my mother sitting on that bed? I looked over and I didn't see anything. I said she'll be with you when it's time for you to go but it's not your time yet. I continued our conversation and Grandma was lucid in every way. When I went home or conversation came to mind. And then it hit me! the message was for my grandmother yes but it was also for me. it was me that needed to get ready. I needed to get ready to release my grandmother.

I did hospice volunteer work for 10 years. It was so interesting to hear their experiences. One especially with alzheimers I am reminded of with your presentation. Her sister kept visiting her, she would wave her over and she would talk to her and tell me what she was saying. I of course could not see her sister, but I absolutely believed the experience she was having and encouraged her. (I had almost died as a child and had an experience myself). Sadly nurses would come in and insist her sister wasn't there and tell her she wasn't going to die, and ask her silly questions like, what day is it?, who is the president?, etc. I am so glad to hear about these studies and interviews.

I don't understand that. If the patient is at peace and feeling happiness, who cares what they are "seeing" or experiencing? Who cares who the president is, and what day it is at that exact moment? I understand the need for those questions, but the point of hospice, is to keep patients comfortable until they die. So, why would they interrupt a situation like you described?
