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.

The last words my father said before his death was "I have to go, my parents are sitting here next to my bed, they want to take me somewhere".
He was very relaxed and peaceful.

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.

I was taking care of a hospice patient when my brother died. She hadn't spoken above a whisper in weeks. My brother died on a Thursday afternoon 7 months after a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. He was buried on a Sunday and I returned to work on Tuesday. Around 2am my patient clearly said "Your brother is here". She had no idea I had a brother. She didn't know my brother was sick and had died. I didn't see him, but I like to think he was there to comfort me. I miss him every day.

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.

A few yrs ago as a police officer I found a girl hanging. I stayed with her as I didn't want to leave her until the soco had finished and the ambulance crew I took her. I was nervous and scared but at one moment I felt calm and I felt a breeze pass me. My colleague looked at me and said that's her going. He was a very experienced officer not someone given to emotion or religious beliefs. He knew tho just as I did.
First time iv shared this

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.

I’m a hospice social worker. 8 out of 10 of my patients see visions of dead loved ones

"Mom, we dont really die." My son said this to me about six months after he was murdered.
I know he is speaking from Peace Love & Light

My brother died in a car crash when he was 27. I was 21, and had not experienced a close death before. It was the morning of his funeral. I barely slept. I was lying in bed very numb from shock, and I heard my heart music box come on. For about a minute. My brother was a musician, and I knew without a doubt it was him. What a gift. It taught me that our souls live on, and our love is everlasting. ❤️

I had a patient up in step down who was actively dying. As her nurse I stayed by her side and comforted her as much as I could. After about 20 min she began to wave towards the corner of the room. She had this immediate glow and joy. She grabbed my hand and said “look say hello to my mom” she began reaching her arms out to the the empty corner of the room. She died within the hour. So yes, I can confirm these things happen and there is no class or lecture about it🙏

I remember a patient who was never very talkative and it was very difficult to even get a smile from him. Not because he was in pain or seriously ill. 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.

My grandmother, on her dying bed, said there were angels in her closet and also told here daughter, who could not have children, that she was pregnant. Her daughter told her that can't be. You know that I cannot have children. Eight months she delivered a baby boy.

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 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.

I am 20 years old and my dad passed away just a month back. He wasn't sick or diagnosed with anything, it was just a massive irreversible cardiac arrest. I have been so devastated and heartbroken and in so much pain. Watching this video made me smile for the first time since then. Thank you.
My dad hasn't visited me yet. I wait for him every day, I am desperate to see him and hear his voice one more time. I am going to wait. Dad, please come and visit me. I feel very alone and broken 😭

I was a nurse for 32 yrs. and it's true. I believe that they are not hallucinations,but that they are the loved ones that have gone on before and they have come to guide them to the afterlife. When they start seeing their dead loved ones and they start communicating with them, then death is close. I feel comforted knowing when my time comes my mother and grandmother will come to take me home.

Four days before my 89 year old father passed away l saw him raise his right hand and said " I'm coming mum, be patient I'll be there soon, I'll be there in four days". Four days later he passed. My father really loved his mother and it gave me great comfort knowing that she was there to greet him

I had covid pneumonia in December 2021 I ended up in hospital, on the first night my dad stood at the side of my bed, he was young, slim and had dark hair, he laid my hands over me and said ‘stay’ - he had died 3 years previously at aged 89. I had been a course of treatment that day and the following day I was rebirthed, every cell in my body.

I helped my Dad transition on 4/22/22. “Daddy, what would you like to stay or go?” I looked at him laying there without answering me. 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.

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.
