My 91 year old mom passed out, the death rattle kicked in, she then yawned several times, then death rattle. Her skin became ice cold, her face pale, lips blue and then incontinence. 30 seconds later she took a deep breath but remained unconscious for 30 min. Suddenly she opened her eyes and asked "where am i".
Has anyone experienced this? I feel as of I had a death trial run. Scared me- oh how emotional. Hospice is on way to help assess what happened.
My friend said that she visited heaven and saw God. She also saw her daughter (who was also a friend of mine). I forgot what all was said and done during her visit with her daughter, but I do know that she said God told her she supposed to live a while longer. She ended up living about another five months afterward. Most nursing home staff were convinced it was a miracle but there were a few who didn't believe it. I'm hoping that those who knew it was a miracle actually came to God through this miracle. I'll see my friend and her daughter again. I must say that I hope that neither of them suffered on the way out at that moment of death, because I would never want that to happen to anyone at that moment. Death is eminent, and I would never want to see anyone suffer at that moment. I was not there when either of my friends passed away, but I hope it was a painlessly easy one for them when it happened
I think your comment about hospice was fine. You summed up the gratitude that many of us have about the help and support many of us have had from hospice when our loved ones were at the end of their journeys.
Depending on what device you use, you might have problems reading the message.
Also, I really appreciate hearing about near death experiences. I have read so much about them and find the possibilities fascinating!
I said my goodbyes to my Mum - I could see she had died and my heart felt as if it had dropped to the ground; I stared at her and felt so very sad that she had really gone. Then the doctors continued the resuscitation process; after several minutes (I'm not sure how long), my mother suddenly opened her eyes - she was here again. My emotions were in disarray; although I was happy, I had been in shock and had begun the grieving process and acceptance that she had gone. The whole experience shook me up emotionally and physically. My mother is still with us, but has deteriorated mentally and it is very difficult to communicate with her as she sees and talks to people who are not there, but they are very real to her; sadly these conversations are very negative, so she is usually quite anxious.
It took some time for me to come to terms with the emotional and physical effects of this experience. But my heart goes out to my Mum who cannot tell me of her experience and what she is going thru' now. I can only be there for her by her side.
