Thank you for sharing your gift and experiences. However, I would not call this the scent of death. Or the gift of sensing death. It is life. It is the scent of the angels carrying souls into eternity. My mother, Lucia, passed at a hospice center. I care gave to her in my home and she was transported to a hospice center for her last hours. The moment she passed the room filled with such thick and sweet incense it was palpable. And the overwhelming peace was the presence of the Holy spirit. Even the nurses reported it to administration wondering if a candle or incense had been lit. Not at all. I am Orthodox Christian and it as the scent of our church. God sent His angels to take my mother. This was not death. But birth, our glorious birth into eternity.
