LIFE AFTER DEATH

As a young nurse I can recall many instances where patients told me a relative had just visited them when you knew this was physically not possible as I had been around the patients all day. I recall one elderly patient who was awaiting surgery she seemed fine and we were not expecting any problems she told me her uncle and aunt had come to visit her she was quite animated by this visit. I recall thinking this lady was in her late seventies so it seemed a bit unlikely, nonetheless less I went along with her. Her surgery went well and she was recovering well, unexpectedly she had a cardiac arrest. 

My father in law who had a stroke was taken to hospital. The next day my father in law appeared to me in  spirit as I was getting ready for bed. He was wearing his pyjamas and dressing gown and slippers and he told me he only had two days to live. Sure enough two days later he had a massive stroke he didn't survive.

My daughter who is also a nurse has seen the spirit of patients who have passed over wandering around the ward. So it does not surprise me finding the article below.

Life after death: Doctor claims people are called on by visions of ‘deathbed visitors’

A NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST has claimed that people close to death are visited by "deathbed visitors" before they pass away.

Peter Fenwick is a neuropsychiatrist and neurophysiologist who has undertaken various studies in the end-of-life phenomena. During an interview he explained what “deathbed visitors” are and when they may appear.

Speaking to Dr Jens Rohrbeck, Dr Fenwick said: “A few weeks before you die you get deathbed visitors.

“Now what’s a deathbed visitor, they are relatives who come to you and they do it in a specific way.

“They may stand outside the room in which you are dying or they may come into the room that’s quite common.

“You, of course, will talk to them and then a number of them will sit on the bed and talk to you.

“Why do they sit on the bed? Because it’s enormously comforting to you to have somebody sitting on the bed.”

He added: “We took a hundred deathbed visions and analysed them for content.

“We found that the commonest people who come are first-degree relatives – mother and father are commonly seen, dead spouses are quite common.

“But we also in fact found that brothers and sisters come. People you don’t know occasionally. Animals not many.”

Dr Fenwick also claimed that “spiritual beings” were seen in the visions.

He explained that they behave differently from relatives.

The neurophysiologist added: “They tend to either wait outside the hostel hospice and they’re seen through the window or they may come to the door and some of them come in”.

Dr Fenwick is known for his studies in end-of-life phenomena and has collected hundreds of examples of near-death experiences.

The deathbed or end-of-life phenomena are a range of experiences reported by those who are dying.

Dr Fenwick’s has claimed that his research in the area may show that the “mind is still there after the brain is dead”.

According to Prof Allan Kellehear from the University of Bradford, about 30 percent of hospice patients report a “visitation” by someone who is not there.
