Thanks @George1959 that is interesting.
I think it does make sense that dying is often harder on the observers than on the dying person. In the end dying is a natural process and it often relieves the pain and discomfort of having a terminal illness.

I found it interesting. Thanks for passing it on. My response is neither to be convinced I know what it means nor to know what it couldn’t possibly mean. In the same way I don’t know precisely what dreams are or what they couldn’t possibly be. But I don’t feel like anyone has such a complete theory of everything that they can credibly rule in or out anyone else’s theory so I won’t try.

What about you @George1959, what do you think of those accounts?
Had it been about ‘near death experiences’ I wouldn’t have bothered to watch it.

No, it's not about NDEs but on the dreams and visions some patients at a hospice have some time (several days) before they die. Dr Kerr has even written a book on this subject. These patients see their deceased relatives and communicate with them. I find this quite interesting and I believe in such visions. In my opinion they already belong to both worlds.

My then husband , 11 year old daughter and i cared for my terminally ill Dad in his home for his final 6 weeks. He saw and spoke with both his last wife (#5) who predeceased him by 2 yrs and his mother who had been dead about 7 years whom he made no contact with for the last decade or two of her life. I felt their presence as well and even somewhat played referee between them as Dad's last wife, June, who had only heard his side of family history thought my paternal Grandmother had no business being there.
What is more the deceased will often visit still living loved ones in dreams because many people prefer that easy to dismiss form of visit to them actually putting in an appearance.

When my mother slipped into her final coma, she had hours of conversations with people, some living (but not there) and some dead.
She gave recipes, driving directions, had "telephone conversations", discussed the weather, talked about religion and politics, etc.
She was not able to communicate with us but she sure as heck was communicating with someone. I spoke with a couple of the friends later that she was "talking" to, but they had not felt any communication with her. They, however, expressed that they were honored that she was thinking of them.
