I have not personally experienced any patients with this, nor have I had a NDE... However, I do know that my grandfather was calling out to his wife and others the day before his death. He appeared to die very peacefully.

People will choose to believe or not believe, and their feelings regarding their beliefs may very well change with time.

I do not think that just because something isnt "scientifically proven" that it does not exist. I think that there are just soooo many things that we as human beings just dont have the capacity to understand yet.. maybe where we go when we die, if anywhere, is just one of those things.

IMO, the most important thing is that whatever these people saw (angels, relatives, hallucinations due to epinepherine) helped them through their experience.

Of course I have no idea what will happen to me when i go, but I choose to believe that there IS somethine after death and I hope that my loved ones will come for me and that I will go to a place where I feel comfort and love and peacefullness. I may be completely wrong, but I dont care, because it makes me feel good

My dad had been in the ICU on the vent. When they took him off one the first question was if his brother was dead I told him no. They seen each other about a month before dad went into the hospital. Dad was taken up to long term care for rehab. He was put into a room with a Pt who was dying. They move my dad to the next room because of my mother's Alzhimers. The day they move him we went to see him. Mom and I went to get something to eat and dad a shake he love them. We got back and found he had pass on. That was the Friday before fathers day. Dads brother Ross was to sick to come and pay his respects, he had been put in a nursing home. Mom and I went to see him late in Sept. We talk about my dad and other stuff that day. 2 days latter he died. I offten wonder if dad saw what was to come. My dad was as sharp as a tack and I thought is was the drugs talking but now I still wonder.

My grandfather passed from Prostate Cancer in 2004.
I lived out of town at the time so I made sure to go and see him almost every week, well this one particular week I did not go to see him, and my aunt called me on a wed and told me to hurry up to see him because he didnt look like he will be here for much longer. She stated earlier that day, my grandfather asked about all of his grandchildren and his children to see if we made it to town yet, she said she didnt think nothing of it but she told him that we were on our way. Around 6pm that evening, he just sat in his room and stopped talking so that was around the time everyone started trickling in from out of town. Well I left work and I picked up my cousin who lived close to me and we got to my grandmothers house around 1:30am. When I went into my Grandfathers room, he was sitting up in his bed but he kept looking around the room like he was watching someone, I grabbed his hand and thanked him for raising me and my brothers and I let him know that i will miss him and he just kept grabbing my hand but i asked my aunt who was he looking at, she stated that he probably was looking at his sister, who passed back in 1986 from Cancer but i kept talking to him and he kept following something that noone could see. His eyes were glassy but he just squeezed my hand, that is how I knew that he heard me talking to him. this went on until around 5am, when he finally went to sleep. Around 8am that morning I went into his room to check on him and he was woke, just watching something in his room and then i went to make breakfast. My sister in law came into the kitchen around 9am and told me to hurry up in my grandfathers room because she thought he was about to go, when i got to his room, he was breathing very slowly and kept his eyes open looking at something in the corner of the room, and then a few minutes later he took his last breath and all of his children/grandchildren was in the room with him.
Sorry if this is so long*****
but last year one of my grandfathers aunts was going through cancer and my grandmother was home nursing her, my grandmother told me everytime she got to her house, she heard my aunt talking to someone and when she asked who she was talking to she said she was talking to her nephew, my grandfather and that he always comes to visit her when she is lonely, my grandmother also said that my aunt talked to everyone who was dead and that she had 30 minutes conversations with the dead family members but also she would answer them back like they were asking her questions, and my grandmother told me when my great aunt passed, she sat up in her bed, which she never does and took a deep breath and passed away, my grandmother is 70 and she said she never been creeped out like that in her life.

I don't believe there is anything beyond. I've been around a lot of dying people and the visions can be explained by the dying brain shutting down. I've never seen a case where the dying person was only calling out to only people who were deceased. They were calling out to people who were living (but not present) as well.
