    I was staying with my mom when she was on hospice at home the last couple of months of her life. A few days before she died she was just staring toward the end of her bed. I asked her what’s she looking at, she turned to me and smiled and said “they’re all here waiting for me.” I didn’t even ask her who because I knew who she meant… her family and my Dad were patiently waiting to guide her on her journey. That comforted her and me even more. It was beautiful.

      Was with several close family members who were dying. Toward the end, they stared ahead to foor of their bed and looked up - and smiled. I knew that they were seeing those who had gone before them to welcome and escort them to their new home.
      I was comforted.

    My mom passed on last June. While she was bedridden at home, I have seen on so many occassions that she was staring blankly into a corner of her bedroom. She even asked me who was that lady holding a baby in her room when there was no one else besides myself and her. On the day she passed, i saw her opening her eyes despite sleeping all the time and looking into a corner and i knew at that moment that my late dad had come to receive her. I held her hands and then she passed. I miss her so so much.

    When I flew as a critical care flight nurse. One patient that I fondly remember, was not doing well and was dying in front of us and there was really nothing anyone could have done for her. She opened her eyes on the flight and said to me "Do you see them?" I said what? Do you see them all around us. and I still didn't understand. The patient finally said, do you see the angels around us? I said no but I told her I will look. It seemed to give her great comfort knowing this and I admit everything seemed more quiet, the mood felt light, and I was so grateful to share in a moment like this. We prayed together. Sometimes you do that. There wasn't anything we really could do for her except comfort care. That flight will always remain with me. Whether I have a bad day or a good day I think back to that transport and it always brings some peace to my life.

    While visiting my father who was in palliative care, he started staring at a chair against the wall at the end of his bed. I was talking to him but he clearly was fixated on the chair. Finally he asked me, without moving his eyes, if that was his mother sitting in the chair. He was very close to his mother. I said maybe it was and it kind of shook me. But because of going through my father’s death, I decided to become a hospice volunteer, which did for 2 years. Lots of people asked how I could do that. My answer was always the same and straight from the heart. “ I consider it an honour to be able to provide company while someone passes from this world to the next.” Unfortunately, these days families are often living far apart and can’t always be there for their loved ones but a volunteer can.❤️

      Wow ty, I never thought of that. Now I am going to look for a place that will hopefully let myself be a volunteer. I truly love helping people. When I was in my early 20's I worked for a pesticide and fertilizer company as a truck driver then was promoted to warehouse manager and dispatch. Long story, short, in winter all drivers got laid off but I got the benefits and 40 hour weeks still. Well I had very few chores to do, I had to be there to run the weigh scale we had on the property. But also I had to always have coffee on for when the old farmers wanted to stop in and chat or give me a check for ther Bill's, I learned so much from them talking and teaching me things over the years. Now that I'm 54 I wanna repay them by lending a helping hand. This life is only temporary till we go home forever with god. Be more empathetic and less judgemental and don't believe what's on the news. God bless 🙏

It was very enlightening for me as an observer. At one point she was in tears. I asked why. She said I just learned I’m smart. We all have our insecurities. She really was smart. But by her comment I felt she was already going through the end of life movie where she sees herself as others do. It was a tender sweet moment that I will treasure.

My dad was working night shift, and she was at home with 3 babies ( triplets) She remembered feeling so ill, she thought she'd die. She saw all her deceased relatives, including her parents, standing around the bed. She didn't know her dad so well, as he'd been at War for 6 years, then died.She'd built a very deep bond with her mum. Her mum stepped forward to embrace her, but her dad held her back. He said " no. its not her time, she has the babies to care for". Her dad came forward snd sat by her side. She said she understood that, if her mum came to her, she'd want to go with her. They remained with her, until my dad returned home from work. Then they disappeared, and she was sent to Hospital, where she recovered. Just 1of many supernatural experiences, that my mum had, during her life...

    We lived with Mom her last few years to provide full time care as her health and mobility declined significantly. Her final year saw a rapid deterioration in lung, heart and kidney function with occasional hallucinations. About 3-4 months before Mom passed, we heard her giggling and telling our cat Nollie, "I know you're not really there but you need to get down off the bed before you do something naughty." I went in and played along, shooing the invisible cat off Mom's bed and telling him to go use the box. Nollie had crossed the 🌈 bridge a year before, but we like to think he came back to visit Mom and distract her from her severe pain. Nollie was Mom's favorite "grandkitty" who always slept with her when she'd come visit, and she spoiled him rotten. 😄 If Mom was going to vision anyone, it would be a cat 😺

    My Mom had passed and I had been upset as we were close. One night in a dream unlike anything I ever had before as if it were the best HD screen ever my Mom appeared on a bright screen and said, "I'm ok. Stop worrying. You need to do what are here to do." Then the screen closed and the dream ended. I had a boss who was a real teacher in life. She was tough but fair and more importantly taught me about the world of work. I attended her wake and left a note for the family. Her sister wrote a nice note to me afterwards. One night a few days after my attending my former bosses wake I had a dream with the same clear HD screen and my former boss appeared and said, "Thank you." And then the dream ended. There is a lot to the visionings.

But he was a strong Christian who lived a life that showed that he had faith in Jesus as his savior, so I will see him again. My husband, Kevan, died of covid at the age of 64.

    WOW - this account brought back memories for me. In Oct 2013, my 92 year old mother was hospitalized with a broken hip. The next day (Saturday), they operated on her. While visiting her Monday morning, I saw this. Despite just having surgery, my mother rose up from a lying position, turned to the right, looking ahead, saying "MOMMY! MOMMY! MOMMY!" and turned to the left. (note that her mother died 80 years before). Her health declined after that and her eyes remained closed until her last moments, when on Saturday morning, her eyes opened wide, and she stared, looking upward to the right, and then both eye lids slowly closed like a curtain being lowered. Jesus, I trust in You! (always pray the Divine Mercy chaplet for the dying)

      Yes! The Divine Mercy Chaplet is a powerful & beautiful prayer! To be said anytime, but especially during the 3 o'clock hour (when Christ died) & especially before those that are dying. Jesus revealed to St. Faustina, "Write that when they say this chaplet in the presence of the dying, I will stand between My Father and the dying person, not as the just Judge but as the merciful Savior (Diary, 1541) & "At the hour of their death, I defend as My own glory every soul that will say this chaplet; or when others say it for a dying person, the indulgence is the same" (Diary, 811). Thank you for mentioning this - so many do not know about this powerful prayer!

      @@annmarieschmidt4828 I have had multiple dreams about the importance of the Divine Mercy chaplet prayers, and specifically about the prayer "Jesus, I trust in You!". In dreams where I saw myself in extreme danger (eg taking shelter because of a tornado) I took shelter, and prayed "Jesus, I trust in You" out loud. Others joined me and prayed "Jesus, I trust in You" out loud. And we were protected from the tornado. In another dream, which one might consider an end of life dream, I saw myself standing on a very narrow lit path. Extreme darkness was on either side of me. Jesus of Divine Mercy was standing a few feet in front of me, His eyes fixed on mine. I walked looking straight ahead, staring at Him and with every step I took, I prayed out loud "Jesus, I trust in You." until I stood before Him and He embraced me. Pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet every day. The novena begins on Good Friday and Divine Mercy Sunday is April 7 (one day before the North American eclipse).

    On 1/28 my mom had an episode of visioning. She stared at one spot just as you described and had an amazed look on her face. I asked what she sees and she said she saw God. Later, she looked at the same spot and started talking, said “oh Panda and my sons dog”,
    Both dogs passed many years ago and she never talks about them. Then looked at me and said she saw her mother who told her she “would be coming home soon”. Mom has dementia and is very confused and doesn’t make a lot of sense most of the time. She was very alert and oriented when this occurred. She has since said a couple of times that her mother will be coming and she didn’t know when. I care for her at home with hospice and cherish every day! ❤

      I had to put my 18 yr-old dog, Wally, to sleep. He was suffering from painful seizures and arthritis and he was completely blind, deaf and had lost his sense of smell. I took him to my Dad's old Vet clinic. I had my arms wrapped around him as he lay on the metal exam table and was crying my eyes out. The moment the Vet gave him the shot that stopped his heart, I both saw and felt Wally get up, walk through my arms, and sit next to me on the table. It tingled where he walked thru me, and he appeared grayish, hazy, and pixelated; it was like I was watching an old black and white movie. He also looked like he did when he was around two years old and healthy. I immediately stopped crying, and I either told my Mom and the Vet what I witnessed or I asked them if they saw it too, however, based on their reactions, which consisted of them shooting each other quick, concerned glances that said, "OMG! She's gone insane from grief!" - they obviously didn't see it, but I don't care- I know what I saw and felt. I also felt him sitting on my lap the entire drive home, and once there, he slowly faded from this realm or dimension. I thank God for giving me such a loving and beautiful gift. I try to pass it on to others who may be mourning the loss of a pet. I used to believe that animals have souls like we humans do, but now I KNOW they do!

    My father's birthday is August 25th. He passed away in 1982 when I was 5 years old. On August 25, 2016 my mom passed away suddenly. When we found her she had obviously gotten up that morning, had breakfast, taken her medication, and spoken with her best friend of over 70 years. She had placed the cordless phone back on its base, and it looked like she had just sat on the side of her bed, laid back, and transitioned. She was still holding her cane in one hand and the bedpost with the other. One of my friends thinks that my dad came back for her on his birthday and that it's a beautiful love story. If course, I'm devastating by the loss of my mother, but I would like to believe what my friend said happened because it means that she did not die alone. I was at work and my sister lives 2 hours away. If my dad was there to take that journey with her, I'm at peace with that. For anyone piecing the timeline together, I found my mother dead on my late father's birthday. It hit me hard, but I'm happy that they are together again.

    This connects so many dots for me. My Mom was suffering from severe strokes and Alzheimer’s, so she couldn’t vocalize what she was seeing during her last few days. She could sometimes string together a few words, and she would gaze at the corner of the room, look puzzled and ask me, “Nana (her mom) is dead, right?” I would tell her she had been gone for 30 years, but she would look confused. In retrospect, she was clearly seeing Nana, and drifting in and out to remember if she was dead or not. And speaking of smiles, the last day she was alive, she spoke no words, but would just smile at everyone. She looked so happy.

    My brother died a year ago from sepsis. He was in the hospital the last week of his life, and a few days before he passed, his gaze was fixed on a spot near the ceiling. His son and I figured he was just "out of it" from the meds he was on. He never spoke after that, but after watching many of your videos I understand that he was transitioning. Interestingly enough, a few weeks after he left us, my brother appeared in a dream to my husband....looking happy and nicely dressed . He said "I guess I tricked you all into thinking I was dead". Then another time he came to my husband again and was working on our car (kind of a hoot because my brother knew nothing about cars). Its interesting to me that he keeps showing up in my husband's dreams since they weren't especially close.

    This event of visioning and death stare has happened to quite a few of my family members in the past. While I was visiting with my mom in her hospital room, she was staring at the ceiling. She was in the terminal stage of stomach cancer. I asked her what she was looking at. She turned and looked at me. She said,”Don’t you see all the clowns.” She had a beautiful smile on her face. She was telling me that they were so funny. She told me all of them were making funny faces which made her smile. A few weeks after that, she passed away. In the end, seeing her smile and happy, gave me comfort.

    Thank you so much, Julie! I'm in the Netherlands, working in a care facility as a housekeeper. My floor has 18 rooms to clean every day. 3 of them are hospice rooms. I see my 'grandparent' ,as I call them, 5 days a week and I saw many of them 'leave'. People ask me how I deal with death, and I tell them its the stare you talk about. I see Jesus through them and that brings so much peace in me. Thanks for your conformation!❤🥲🙏

    I witnessed such death stare and vision when my father died. He definitely appeared to me that he he saw someone on the end of the bed. He appeared really surprised. Then he appeared to be listening to what they were saying for a brief moment and then he made a sign with his head like "OK". It appeared they asked him if he was ready. Then he died. Just like that in front of me. I was speaking to him softly just before he say his vision, and he was not minding me at all. I realized quickly that he was focused on something else. I, of course, did not see who was at the end of the bed, but from his gaze it was like he acknowledged 3 spirits (for lack of a better word). Thanks. It make what I witnessed even more special.

The Aide's do all the work while the nurse's spent there time in the med room and charting. I saw many deaths and a man died in my arms while I was sitting him up. Death is as sacred as birth.

      I am an RN. The meds can be very time consuming, as well as charting for legal purposes. As a former hospice nurse who traveled & then a Director of Nursing for a nursing home striking a balance is difficult. Nurses prefer hands on care but have serious responsibilities too. Both titles and jobs are critically important.

      My mother passed away last month in hospice so I was able to be at her side. I love your comment because the best description I could muster up about how I felt the last two days of her life was that while I grieve her and it brought so many tears, it felt like I was guiding her out and comforting her the same way we do with a mother in labor. It felt like such a sacred experience.

    My Grandmother had a heart attack in 1978 and died in the Hospital. My Mother and I were taking turns sitting with her in the ICU room. Wlile I was sitting with her she wasn't able to speak or even open her eyes. The monitor on the wall behind her bed was showing a very erratic heartbeat and then showed a somewhat better beat. Then she smiled and said "Sweet Jesus" as the monitor flat lined. I was devistated of course but I was comforted knowing that Jesus had came and took her home.

Ever sense vibrations? Unseen oras? Then perhaps a new life form has developed and there are now angels and the spirits of people who have died and assended to this new plane.

It scared the pants off of us.

My mother waited till she was alone in the quietest hours to go. In the 24 hours prior I had been feeling the spirits of her family. My father died, listening to my voice, as I chatted and laughed to the nurses in the hallway. I believe they both chose the way they wanted to go.

She often would look passed everyone in the room and focus on what was directly in front of her. I asked her what she was looking at and she didn't answer me. I was her care giver for her last 2 years. And I really got to know my mom.
    The last hour she was with us she was very vocal. I'm not sure who she was talking to, but she was telling them, "no!". I called my older brother and told him whatever he wanted and needed to say, now was the time. He said what he wanted to say to her. She yelled her boyfriends name. (He passed away several years before she did) and then she was gone. She found him. And that was amazing to me. She loved him so much and he loved and respected her.

    I died for over 4 minutes back in 2012 and I was not a christian then. After I died I remember being outside of my body hovering over it in the hospital room and could hear what the doctors were saying and what they were doing. I moved around the ceiling of my room and I even went down the hall about halfway and could see nurses coming and going. I saw one doctor that looked like he was in charge of everything come rushing by and was talking to another doctor in the hallway real low about him thinking I'm not going to recover and that they need to be prepared to let my family know. They talked about what happened to me and what they could do to help me. After that I remember going back into my room and all the sudden I felt a warm hand on my forearm. I didn't know where it was coming from and I looked down at my body and I saw what looked like a man who was wearing all white and seemed bright to me. Although "bright" is not really what I'm talking about but I don't know how else to explain it. He turned away from my body and looked straight at me with me hovering on the ceiling. I immediately got sucked into what looked like a bright light mixed with all kinds of colors. I remember hearing a soft voice speak to me while I am getting pulled through this light and him saying, " Do not be afraid my child." I went from terrified to relaxed almost immediately. And almost like I blinked and was there I was standing in a field with super green grass and a sky that looked unnaturally beautiful with purple and dark blues and whites. I remember how relaxed and happy I was to be there and there in front of me stood a man who was standing with his back to me. He turned around and looked at me but I couldn't really make out his face. It's not like he's was hiding it was almost like my eyes couldn't focus on it. I could see the rest of his body but his face was just blurry to me. He said in a deep soothing voice that my time on earth has not finished yet and I still have work to do. Which I didn't understand because I was a mess and was certainly not doing anything good here. I ended up dying due to my bad habits and didn't understand what he meant. I asked him, " What work? And who are you?" And although I couldn't really make out his face I could tell he was smiling. And he said, " My son, you are more important to me than you can imagine and I love you." After he said that he responded, " And you know who I am." I stood there confused, and then out of nowhere a name popped up in my head almost as though it was telepathically put there. "Jesus!" I fell to my knees and started to cry and asked him to forgive me. And he responded with something I will remember until the day I die and it gives me chills just typing this. He said, "I already have, you just need to accept it." He then told me that it's time for me to go back to get started on my work. I told him I didn't want to go back and wanted to stay there with him. He said, "I will see you again soon of which I will be pleased." Before I could say anything everything went black and I remember feeling unbelievable pain in my chest and all over my body. It felt like my heart was torn out and pushed back in my chest and all of my organs were put in a blender. I opened my eyes and saw a bright light and for a second thought I was back but then I realized it was the overhead light they use and then doctors and nurses came flooding in to take care of me. I ended up recovering from my ordeal and was talking to a doctor after being in the recovery room for a few days and told him about me hovering in the room. He didn't believe me until I started telling him what I saw in the room and what everyone was doing. I asked him where that main doctor was that took care of me and he told me that he has since left and went on some kind of event out of state and that I shouldn't even know about him because when he showed up I was completely out and was unaware of anything. After telling him that and his conversation in the hallway he was absolutely amazed. But afterwards I went back to doing my same old behavior until I met a girl after my last deployment to Afghanistan and she got pregnant. I married her and we have a 7 yr old boy, a house and a few dogs. I am a devout christian now and am teaching the same to my son. I don't know why Jesus sent me back here but I hope I am doing the work he sent me back for and I hope this testimony can speak to anyone out there willing to read all this. I know it's long. God bless.

I have huge respect for the lady, she accepted it with such grace, and probably guaranteed that her husband would do the same. Sounds like she was grateful for his life, and was comfortable on the whole with his passing over. To do that only a week after losing her own sister? To be so close to losing someone who was obviously her soul mate, and to keep caring for him in such a tender manner... that really touched me. I mean, wow. The older generation is just amazing.

    I had no idea this was something that happened. About 15 minutes before my mom passed, she suddenly sat up and that was shocking, but she stared at each of us, my siblings and myself. I always explain this as we would see those once kids that would be in mejogoria. It was as she was hearing something that was being told about each of us as she stared. She would stare at my sister, then me, then my sister then my brother until she looked up in the corner of the ceiling. Then she slowly lowered herself down, took her final breath w a smile on her face. I’ve always wondered what she was hearing but I know she was concerned about leaving us, even at the age of 94 ~ a mom is always a mom, but in the end she smiled so although I miss her physically dearly, I’m so sure she’s with everyone who have passed before her. 💕

Everything you state happened to my Mom. I do find comfort that she is in a better place and at her healthiest again. Thank you for your knowledge and dedication to your field. God bless.
