...Is it possible to tell when their soul is gone before they are officaly pronounced dead? What typically happens to a patient while they are dying? Do you think a patient knows that they have died? Can they still hear you even if they are in a coma? Do you believe that their is life after life?
I am asking these questions in memory of my wonderful mother who died last month from complications due to metastic breast cancer. (septis/pulmonary/metastisis) She had been put into a drug induced coma. So we had been by her side day and night..holding her, kissing her, rubbing her feet & hands, singing to her and praying. Even up to the day she died, we were talking to her.
Her ICU nurse had told us in passing that that her soul was gone hours before she actually died. I was curious to know any of your experiences. I have to say that when we did see her the day of her funeral,in the casket, she looked absolutely beautiful! I mean her face looked 20 years younger! (She was 64 when she passed). You could SEE that she had no more strain or anguish. It was glorious...
Thanks,
Julie
