bsjkki Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) This guy should write a book. It would be very interesting. I’ve heard of many people seeing loved ones right before they pass on. https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2019/02/25/hospice-buffalo-death-dreams-study/ “Dr. Kerr didn’t start out believing. He’s now the Chief Medical Officer at Hospice Buffalo, and when he was first starting out, something happened that opened his mind. He thought a certain patient could live a little longer with IV fluids. “I walked in and the nurse didn’t even look up,” said Dr. Kerr. “And she said, “No, no, he’s dying,’ and I said, ‘Why are you saying that?’ And she said, ‘Well, he’s seeing his deceased mother,’ and I was like [laughing noise] ‘Yeah, right.'” He was skeptical, but he explained that he was proven wrong over and over. “Everybody but me was able to prognosticate death in part based on what people were seeing or experiencing,” he said. He says doctors aren’t trained to deal with these dreams, but he began studying them and realized that they’re therapeutic.” *I meant to post this in Social Hall.

Amulek Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Ah, good ole fat Eeyore Strong Sad. I miss that guy. I actually thought about using Homestar as my Avatar at one point, but then I got distracted and never did anything about it (obviously).

Oops I’d be curious if this is only a phenomenon among the terminally ill (those that know they are close to death) or also experienced among those that died suddenly.

Tacenda Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I was amazed that the CNA/RN nurses knew my mom was nearing death and said her spirit is already leaving her body the night before she passed. How did they know it? I'm assuming because they've seen it time and time again, since the age of the residents is old age at the nursing home Mom was in. I'm gathering that they've had some of their residents say something like the OP described.
Hamba Tuhan Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 I grew up in my maternal grandmother's house, so we were home with her when she passed. She'd been a widow for 16 years, and nearly every day she would say, 'Someday, my J------ is going to come and take me home'. That morning, my father had taken her to the toilet and was helping her back into bed. He said she suddenly looked up towards the ceiling, said, 'Oh!', with surprised delight, raised her right hand up towards where she was looking, and then went completely limp in his arms. 'I think J----- came and took her home', he said. I don't know if that's how it works or not, but I like the sound of it!

My daughter told me that my mother was talking about visiting her brother and sister who were long deceased. "She doesn't have much time left" This was months before her d death.

It happened to my Great Grandma. In Aug, 1915 she was upstairs in a room on the farm doing whatever and all of sudden she felt the presence of her son, as if to come to say goodbye and so when the they got the official news a few days later that he was killed on the Western front, she wasn't surprised. She lived another 29 years.
