I showed your video to both of my sons..In this confused world, they are stressed out at how most girls think.. I wanted them to see a sweet kind and caring woman vs the "boss bitch" type so prevalent in this world. Properly loved and protected, a blessing to all she is around. I promised them there are still a few out there.
I have your book and enjoy your videos....so nice to see kindness and compassion to those in the final leg of their journey....thx for being you.

Would you consider yourself Christian, now?
Before Mom died, I asked her to "flash the living room lights" when she passed on to let me know she was ok. She promised she would. Mom was very religious so I knew she'd be heading to Heaven warp speed. Not only did the lights flash in the living room but so much so in the bedroom, I had to take the bulb out. I said, "ok Mom, I get you're ok" and they never did again.
Wow, I am so happy your Mom showed you she is ok.
@@Sam-fp8zm what the fuck kind of person would say something like this to the person thats grieving its religious loonies like you that actually has a limited and filthy perception of something thats supposed to be all pervading and supreme, it boggles my mind that loonies like you believe that a supreme existence would be offended that a person doesn't refer to it in a name that was given to it by a one specific group of people and refer to it by names and tradition that the particular person was used to in their own culture, people like you would make decent christians bad stop, smh
Wowwwww
That's awesome❤️🙏🏼
I love it💯❤️🙏🏽
My friend's wife had terminal cancer. Couldn't walk, and needed help feeding herself.
In the wee hours of the morning, she partially sat up, waving her arms around and saying, "Wow! Wow! Wow!". Her husband woke up and asked what was wrong. She said "LOOK! LOOK AT ALL OF THE ANGELS! THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL! DON'T YOU SEE THEM? THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AND THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL!!! JUST LOOK!" At that moment, she laid back and lifted her hand like trying to take something and passed away. My friend said he knew for certain that she was with her Lord and Savior in Heaven.
Steve Jobs' last words were, "Oh, wow! Oh, wow! Oh, wow!"
My dad passed away 2 months ago cancer, I was his caretaker , he said oh wow wow wow. 30 hours before he passed and was choreographing with his arms in circles
@@skeptigal2785 I was thinking the same exact thing. I heard the same thing about that being Steve Jobs' last words before he died.
Do people realize Jobs was administered morphine which can cause hallucinations and euphoria.

Heart warming…I died 31 years ago, when my colon ruptured from Crohn’s disease when I was 21….I was dead for 2 minutes, but got to see my grandfather who passed when I was only 8, and all the crippling agony I had been in for months was gone, replace by pure joy, love and peace…it’s real, and I can’t wait to go back again!
This brought tears to my eyes.
@TJ in Toronto Wow!!
That's remarkable😊😊😊
Ru a Christian
@@kimberlyboggs4141 very much so… I know for a fact if it wasn’t for God, and the love and support of my family and friends, I would’ve been dead along time ago, having a total of 37 operations so far, that has removed over 95% of my entire G.I. tract. You can’t go through that much pain, that much terror, without having a lot of faith. Here is the strange part so few believe, sometimes the very worst things that can happen to you turns out to be the best, I was always a believer, but my faith was never that strong, but now my belief in God is indomitable, nothing will ever convince me otherwise that it is he himself that has saved me, because the doctors told me I should’ve died four times already, and can’t explain why I’m here, but I can.
Am glad I stumbled onto this channel. I am currently on hospice for a couple months now. I have had a couple fairly scary moments, but I think I have adjusted to them now. Twice in the last week I have just passed out with no warning what ever. I have stressed a lot about how the end will be. I really hope it is like that, no warning, just gone! I have severe COPD and when my meds ware off I suddenly crash, starving for air and go into hard panic mode. It"s awful, very much like what drowning must be like. I am pretty close to being house bound due to incontinence and such. No matter what though I know it has to be faced terrified or not. Please say a prayer for me.
I bring you before the lord almighty that your life will be filled with joy and no pain that u will have a satisfying and comfort in knowing that our lord Jesus is right there with you every step of the way he sees you and he knows your pain I cast out the spirit of fear for God did not give us a spirit of fear but of love of power and of a sound mind, I cast out the the spirit of sickness I pray that the lord will make you whole again renewing both spirit and body in and all around you, I declare and decree that you will live and not die in Jesus name . Amen 🙏🏽
May the good of Jesus and the angels I pray that you depart with no pain and go straight to the arms of Jesus I pray the angels stay with you all the time and give you comfort god bless you and yours amen
Please tell your hospice workers you need your meds adjusted! Because there are different dosing levels for end of life care, and they can prevent those scary lapses and keep you comfortable ❤️
Lord Jesus be at her side at all times🙏🙏🙏🙏he is your protector
I trust the Lord and your loved ones are with you always. Thank you for posting and helping us 🙏💖
I worked as a hospice nurse too and saw alot of things. Another nurse and I were helping the sweetest lady get washed and dressed for the day. She was sitting at the sink in her wheelchair brushing her teeth when she suddenly looked up and said "oh! It's so nice to see you again." Then she slumped forward in her chair and died. I am not a sceptic.
Oh my word ... you had me in floods there when you spoke of the lady saying her husband was there to get her. I lost my wife in 2013 to cancer, she was young, only forty-two. We thought we had decade upon decade to be together but she was stolen from me far too early. She had me promise that I would not end my days before their natural time came (she knew me *very* well) and i can only hope that she is there for me when my time comes. Even if it is just my imagination I will pass happily if she sings me into death like I did her, tho' of course she cannot physically hold me and look into my eyes. Speaking of which, that moment when she left me, her eyes lit up from inside, glowing a blue surpassing all I had seen before - and that is the moment when I stopped being a total atheist. Because she caught my gaze for the final time and *smiled*.
Beautiful gift to be there with her. My grandmother died of cancer. All she could do was lay in bed with her eyes closed for days. Then, on the day she passed, she too opened her brown eyes, but they were a beautiful lit blue, she seemed to have a light shown on her face and she was smiling looking above her. She passed after our family went home to sleep for the night. Her nurse held her hand and prayed with her as her pulse dropped. It's an incredible experience to witness. God bless.
Dallas, Jesus is real. He is the only way.
Bless you Dallas I know your post was from a year ago, but it touched my heart (a stranger) much love
@@user-gh3rv1of2b Another hospice nurse with a YT channel (called Hospice Nurse Julie I think), said some people hang on until everyone gets there to say their goodbyes, some hang on until a particular meaningful date or event, and some wait until the family have all left the room. It seems your grandmother was the latter. How nice to see her beautiful eyes that last day though. I hope you are doing well.

Before my daddy went to Heaven he said his mama who had died of leukemia when he was 4 yrs old was standing there waiting for him “holding a glass of that cool water” Dad had been so thirsty before he died while in the hospital before being put on hospice, the drs kept him just at dehydration due to his congestive heart failure his lungs would fill with fluid if he had normal hydration levels… poor daddy, all they would give him were a few ice chips to wet his mouth or a sponge dipped in water to wet his tongue …. When his organ’s finally shut down he didn’t want to eat or drink but just sleep and wait to pass…. He was so vivid when he was awake just before the night he passed, when he told me that about his mama standing there…. I replied to him and said “Daddy, you can see your mama? And he said yes, she is just right there waiting for me with the rest of them, they are all there waiting for me” ….. Daddy was so eager and brave to exit this life and enter into eternity…. I will always remember his example when it is my turn and will not be afraid… He had so much faith in his Lord amd Savior Jesus…. My mom would always say to him “ what makes you think your going to heaven? What have you done that you think you deserve it?” And daddy would say, “ I didn’t do anything to deserve it… I’m going because Jesus died for me and told me if I believe in Him that I will be with him, I don’t have to be good enough because Jesus is!” ….He was right! I can’t wait to see him again someday, hopefully he’ll be waiting there with the rest of them for me when I get there🙏🏻♥️🥰 Jesus is the Truth the Life and the Way! The only way to the Father (God) is through Him ♥️✝️
I've never heard it said better. We don't deserve Heaven but through Jesus we get to go. I'm a Southern Baptist and we don't shout but that's shoutin words ! :)

I'm truly sorry for your loss. And may your father find peace and happiness in heaven.
So happy to hear that your father was a believer! I hope to meet him in heaven one day!! God bless you!
Thank you so much for sharing that testimony!
Looking for the day when we all stand before the throne, praising Him!
The world is so crazy now. Looking forward to the new heaven and new earth.

I’ll try to make a long story very short. While in Las Vegas for a wedding I woke up at 6:30 AM to find my wife having a seizure. Called for help and talked to her until it arrived. No history of this. She said that she was in a very beautiful place with wonderful people and felt very warm and happy. She could hear me talking to her and someone told her that if she wanted to come back to me she could. The next thing she knew she was back with me. (After the next two weeks of medical checkups and tests.). We talked about this a lot. She said she thought she had died but needed to come back to talk to me. She said it was beautiful and wonderful, and if it happened again and she didn’t come back it was OK. She loved me but she decided to stay there. Two weeks after the first event she had another same time, also woke up in bed to her having a seizure this time she passed away. I know she is OK, happy and with loved ones. Life goes on.
Wow. What a gift she gave you. Thank you for sharing it.
My dad just passed and I had prayed to be shown where he was. A few nights later I dreamt he was in a happy realm with a whole bunch of souls who had also passed around the same time and were having a great time reminiscing together until it was time for them to be 'processed' to the next step and move on to the next realm. But there was a backlog as so many more people than usual were dying lately, which may explain why it took a few days to see him.
I lost my youngest son 4 months ago...im so heartbroken but believing heaven exists and that one day i will see him again is the only thing keeping me sane...💔
@@julissarodriguez9701 so sorry to hear of your lost
Jeff, it sounds like SUDEP, sudden unexplained death due to epilepsy. Am sorry for your loss but I am grateful that you understand. 🙏
My aunt was in a nursing home and her children hired a sitter to always be with her. One day, my aunt told the sitter she needed to get ready because her son, who passed, and her husband, who had also passed, were coming to get her. My aunt told the sitter their names and said they were over in the corner of the room. Of course, the sitter didn’t see anyone else in the room, but my aunt did. Later that evening my aunt passed. The sitter paid her respects at the funeral home and asked my cousins who Jack and Jim were. They asked her why and she reiterated what happened in the room the day my aunt passed. They told her Jack was her husband and Jim was her son. They had come to get her.
My mom was on hospice and she said Thursday your dad is coming to get me and we’re going to a party. She passed that Thursday
Party time 🎉
🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐🌴🌴🌴
My mom also said she needed to go to a party and she gave us instructions on what dress she wanted to put on. And she sang a completely new song of praise
That is amazing... and so sweet ❣
I love that🥰
When my grandmother passed away, the day before she died shentold my aunt, "I have to go, Nora is here". Nora was my mom who had passed over ten years prior ❤ She passed at 9:22 pm. My mom passed on 9/22.
That's beautiful & so special 💕
That's awesome to know they're both in heaven. Also you well see them again.
My dad passed 21 years before my mom. She died om the exact same day he did, Nov. 21. The next day was their anniversary.
My mom passed 9/9/22 at 9 am. I was in the elavator on my way up to her floor when she passed.

Mom passed suddenly two weeks ago. I miss her very much. She fought cancer and had two treatments left and was kicking the snot out of it. She wound up bleeding internally. Hospital staff kept her comfortable. When her sister called and asked what she was doing (she just got a morphine bolus) mom giggled and said DRUGS!
Mom had a lifelong and close reliance on Jesus. She knew he’d take care of her after death as he always did in life. God blessed me with a wonderful mom.
Good to hear she knows Jesus. God bless.
How fortunate you have been to have a loving mother. I never experienced that growing up and now that I’m old I truly realize how the lack of love, care, affection, sense of safety etc. have left their impact throughout my life. Clearly your mom was a lovely and loving person. How you must miss her.
@@tundrawomansays5067 August 9 will be a year. I’m sorry you’ve had to struggle. I can’t imagine how hard life is for those who lose moms early, or never know them…or have a toxic mother. God be with you.

My stepfather was dying of cancer. The last week of his life he kept on asking 'Is it Wednesday yet'? He passed away the following Wednesday at 1:00 am. I find comfort in hearing these stories.
Wow! Heaven sounds very organized, like he was on the angels schedule for Wednesday and when his appointment came he was escorted home. I find these stories comforting too. Thank you for sharing.
@@leslie6938 Thank you for a positive reply. It is strange and makes you wonder.
This makes me think that we all have our time and it's ok. I lost my best friend to brain cancer this week. She was only 30 and we had so many plans together. I'm trying to find comfort in these videos and in the idea that her time was pre destined.
@@kinucch I lost my best friend of many years to a car accident. Every 5 years or so I have a dream that she appears and says hello and wishes me well and then she disappears. I wake up bewildered at first and then it dawns on me, that she just wanted to let me know her spirit still remains. But only in the great sense of time.
Having lost my mother, father, two sisters and recently my brother, as well as my daughter, I can confirm that they passed with other family members appearing before they passed. Most recently, my daughter appeared to my brother hours before he passed. I believe that she came forward to help my brother but also to let me know she was okay since her passing had been very difficult for me.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss but I think she is ok. My sister died when we were younger and my mom took it extremely hard. Couldn't function. Wasn't able to get out of bed most days. One day while my mom was laying in bed she heard my sister's voice just say "Mom? I'm happy Mom."
I think she knew that my mom was greatly suffering and she let my mom know everything was ok and she was in a good place now.
I am so sorry about all that loss... What did they die of ?...
Wow 😢
What a blessing. I’m a dermatology PA and I just applied for a hospice position. I love Jesus so much and I want to make a difference for Him. Thank you for this video.
Slightly different, but still applicable and hopefully helpful, is my experience of my great grandmothers passing when I was 4 yrs old. She was my father's grandmother and they were estranged and so I knew nothing of her existence, yet one night I was woken from my sleep, and there was this woman stood next to my bed. She told me that she was my father's grandmother and had a message she wanted me to give to him that was very important and it was just to say to him that she was well and she was happy. Well I dutifully got out of bed and woke my dad up to tell him and he said it was just a dream and to go back to bed, but I felt that the message was important, so I insisted on repeating it to him, that she wanted him to know she was well and happy, to which he replied " well it would be the first time in her life then, as she was always complaining about her health and she was never happy, that she was a miserable woman!" The following morning, we got news that she had indeed died in the early hours and I remember my parents shocked faces as they looked at me!
As I said, I never knew her, but it had a big impact on me as it meant that there was a continuance of life after death and it was one where whatever is wrong with you here, you become healed and happy - and that's been one of my greatest comforts in life - given to me by my great grandmother, despite the fact that we never met in the flesh, that connection was still there, and I bless her for that, because her words have given me strength to face both life and death and I hope they also give comfort to others. 🕊️
What an amazing story, thank you for sharing it. Do you think people can see the spirits of those who were never born? When I was a little girl, I awoke one night to hear voices outside my parents' bedroom. A little girl was talking with two kind ladies, asking, "Will (so-and-so) come too?" and they replied yes before taking her away. Listening to their voices, I felt no fear and perfectly content and peaceful, then I went to sleep. The next morning I asked my mum about the voices and she said it must have been a dream because they had all been asleep by that time and no TV on. I found out years later my mum had had an abortion around that time, and it happened after I had been praying for a baby sister. So I often wonder if it was my unborn sister who I heard that night leaving with two kind angels.
@@Growndweller It seems entirely possible. Ask a Catholic priest.
@@Growndweller Growndweller, yes! A soul is a soul.
I watch a YT channel where a guy reads letters from people who describe their near death experiences. They are so interesting and I find them very comforting.
I think it was on that channel that someone said young children are often able to see or hear souls like you did, then ability tends to fade away as we get older (after around age 3-5 if I remember right), although some people retain the ability throughout their life. I’m sure you’ll meet your sister when your time comes. 🙏🏼👼🏼🙏🏼
Yes. I was doing a reiki session for a friend and a boy appeared in my spiritual sight, looking as if he were in his late teens, with a message that he loved my friend, that there was nothing to forgive, and that he would always be with her. My friend started crying. She told me then that she had had an abortion of a male fetus after a rape when was living on the streets as a teen herself, had never told a soul outside of the clinic, and had never been able to forgive herself. The message was an important part of her deep healing, which I believe, is why I was able to receive it during her session. She said he would have been 18 later that month. (I think he chose to appear to me as that age so that he would be recognized by her when being spoken of by a third party, but that is just my theory).
Many first-hand experiences like these have taught me that we definitely exist in an organized form after we “die.” We are far MORE on the other side than we are here, and are able love and be loved so much more. I believe God or the divine source or whatever you want to call it loves us each infinitely, therefore, no one more than another…but each intimately and beyond measure. Also, I heard once from divine source the promise: “What is joined in Love, I do not break apart.” in reference to one of my family members who passed on, when I was grieving them heavily. The message was loud, very clear, and filled with Love; it came with a feeling of certainty that she is still with me though beyond my sight, and that we will see each other again on the other side. I no longer grieve the same way. I hope it brings you comfort, too.
Blessings. 🪷

My Mom passed away 15 years ago. She was in a Nursing Home and was declining. A day before she passed I walked in her room and she told me, "Look, Uncle Bill and Aunt May are standing over in that corner." I said, "Oh wow that's really nice." I totally believed that they were there to help her go to her Heavenly Home! She passed away the next evening.
I'm truly sorry for your loss. And may your mother find peace and happiness in heaven.
I lost my son to cancer 16 years ago when he was 30. I sat with him all day and listened to him arguing with someone. It took me a while, but I finally realized he was talking to his grandfather who passed away when my son was five.
Same Grandpa!
Gosh that’s so young to pass. Sorry for your loss Pam.
My heart goes out to you
I’m sorry to giggle but that sounds like a sight to see. What were they arguing about?
I have read many similar stories. When my mother died, after I traveled back home I had the most vivid dream I ever had of my mother in a rose garden of incredible beauty and she looked at me and smiled. I woke up with tears and a peace I never felt before. I never had any dream like that since.
I had a similar "smile" dream. One of my uncles passed a long time ago. Shortly after he passed, I dreamt of him. I dreamt that I saw him through a large window, sitting at a bar (he enjoyed drinking). The bar was very thick solid wood, it was beautiful. No words were said, he just looked at me and smiled. It was a smile that communicated "I'm happy where I am".
Poetjames...your story just made me cry...I felt the beauty and wonder of your experience 💕🙏🏾💕💕
My older brother who was only 23 passed away from COVID-19 back in September. Not too long after, I had a dream where we were both sitting on his bed talking like we used to always do and he looked to me and said "I'm okay and not sick anymore". In the dream it felt like we talked for hours and yet that's the only thing I specifically remember him saying to me.
Poet James I had a dream like that my mom passed in December 2020 and I dreamt her once it was sometime around January this year, the dream starts with me running hiding from someone and when I peeped out I saw my mom walking in the middle of the street gracefully I mean like really slowly she was clothed in white from her breast area to her ankles and she was barefooted some pieces of white cloth was swaying gracefully has well and she look really young and beautiful and i ran to her and was complaining like a child rattling on lol and she just looked at me and smiled she never spoke to me she just smiled. I know that she’s happy I can feel it .
Yes, the peace. It’s a wonderful feeling ❤️🙏
Before my mom passed from cancer, she was in a rehab facility since she’d had surgery. I went to go see her & her eyes were closed but she was upset. She would be heard saying her sisters name & seemed very confused. The night my mom had surgery, her sister was in a fatal car accident but we never told my mom since they were very close. She was talking to her sister not realizing that she had passed. Life doesn’t end.
A "peak in darien" experience, incredible thanks for sharing, if there are any additional details I'd be super interested!
No life doesnt end wnen you are Good and remain Good you dont die you just mearly pass over to a Better World a Better Realm and that Better World and Better Realm is Our Forever Loveing Home Back Home In Heaven Amen xxxxxxx
My grandmother passed in our home, her last days she was in a coma, no response to anything, I heard her breathing funny one evening and told my mom, they realized she was passing and asked if I wanted to be in the room. At her last moment of life, she seemed to wake, opened her eyes, looked up, said "bye-bye", and reached her hand up into the air like someone was holding her hand, who had come to get her and she died
I'm truly sorry for your loss. And may your grandmother find peace and happiness in heaven.
My dad is currently on hospice. He has just a day or so left. My heart is beyond broken. But I'll be forever grateful for the at home hospice staff during this time. It takes a strong person to do what you do 💜💜💜💜
Hope you're doing good now, I'm reading comments some time after you posted. God Bless you and your family, chin up xx
I know how you feel, but my Dad was tricked into hospice and then euthanized. Two months on and i'm still unable to come to terms with it.
@@germanicelt I lost both my parents in a hospital....( only because we called for help, and responsible humans answered - they were old and had serious health issues, and would have had a hard time ) There is a difference between euthanasia and giving a loved one pain medication at the end...every single day! Please never beat yourself up!
I felt the pain of your heart as I read this. I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏🏾💕🙏🏾
@@germanicelt Martin, that is horrific! I know it’s been a year and please forgive my bluntness, but it sounds more like your father was murdered than euthanized if he did not request it (and do so when he was in his right mind).
I’m American and in the US most people would file a lawsuit to spur an investigation and if laws were found to be broken as it appears, hopefully a trial would follow to bring whoever was responsible to justice. I’m guessing you are probably in another country and I don’t know the laws and customs there. You have every right to be angry and sad and I hope you can find some measure of peace. Bless you.
I too am an RN. I worked first in a psychiatric setting for 13 years. I then left and went into pediatric special needs HHC. I loved your stories. I don't know that I could ever do hospice because I get too attached to patients. I lost 2 of my pedi kids the same week I lost my husband and I just gave up on nursing. It was too much loss at one time. I am now retired. Now, this very day, I have a 1st cousin who is only 5 months older than me, in hospice. She has lung cancer that has metastasized. She is so thin and frail and looks like she is 80 years old. She told me she is seeing family members who have passed. I gave her permission to go with them when she was ready because I know that a lot of people need permission to die. I expect to get a call at any time. The shame of it is she has 2 sisters living and neither one will answer my calls or texts. I am the only family that has come to see her. I just pray that she doesn't suffer much longer. This is not a plea for sympathy post. I am simply sharing my experiences of being with people/patients that are dying. Today was a 2 Prozac day :)
Update: Terry died 1 day after this post. I got a call the next morning from the hospice nurse. I paid for her cremation and I now have her ashes. Sadly that was the most I could do for her 😔😪😞
@@gwenking7700 Sounds to me like maybe you did more than you know. Thank you for sharing, Gwen. Terry was lucky to have you in her life like that. May you be blessed.
@@gwenking7700 so sorry for your loss. You were there for her and I’m sure she appreciated that a great deal. You sound like a lovely person ❤️
You were a treasure for her.
Sending you love ❤ xxx
My Grandma was diagnosed with terminal cancer in August of 2015 and she was a devoted Christian. We had lost my Grandpa in April of 2011. She told us that she would spend Thanksgiving with us, but she would be going “home” to be with my grandpa for Christmas. She passed 3 days after Thanksgiving.
I’m a believer. I’m suffering grief because my mother in Australia has terminal lung
Cancer and she has a month to live. I’m in the USA and couldn’t get home because of covid lockdown. It’s breaking my heart. Those testimony’s help me deal a better with it
Your mother will be perfectly fine when it's time for her to return to spirit ; she will be more alive than you can imagine....
The body will die, but the soul is eternal......
Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior ! Read the book of Romans in the Bible .
Were you able to go be with your mom?
We were not able to be with my dad for the same reason. He was in a hospital in another state, and there was a no-visiting policy unless the loved one was dying. When it finally became clear he was dying and we needed to let him go, he went so fast we didn’t have time to get to him. He died Thanksgiving Day, and that was always my parents’ favorite holiday time with family & friends. It was a big deal, and Mom would go all out making turkey and all the trimmings. My mom loved hosting. She died the year before Dad, so there really was no more fitting day for him to rejoin her. I still feel sad I wasn’t able to be with him in his final days, but grateful to think of my parents reunited on that day.
This is a subject that brings some sad memories for me, I lost my mom last year and few months before she passed away, she was under hospice care. I used to visit her at the nursing home she was staying and even though she was suffering from Dementia, there were some days she would be completely lucid and she would know things that she had no way of knowing. Like the fact that few months earlier year when I was living in a different state I became ill and spent a very cold winter at this house that was freezing. My mom kept asking me why did I allow myself to be so cold in such a horrible place. And she said I must keep myself warm because she doesn’t want anything bad happen to me. So I asked her “ Mom how did you know that?” And she said her brother told her.
Also one day, I was anxious to go see my mom so in my haste to go see her, I didn’t eat anything all day and the first word she said to me was why I am not eating anything. She said I must eat regularly and stay healthy. So I asked her how she knew that and she said her brother told her and pointed to an empty chair in the corner of her room. I looked over and there was no one there but my mom would look in that direction and talk to her brother as if he was standing there. Her brother passed away many years ago. I know she was close to her younger brother and I knew him when I was little. He took me ice skating one winter before we moved away because of my father’s job. He was a good looking guy who was popular with the ladies and my mother adored him. I know she was very sad when he passed away unexpectedly. I miss my mom but I know she is in a better world and I think my uncle is there with her too.
You are a bit of a strange duck. Turn on the heat & make a sandwich ducky !
Thank you for sharing that amazing experience, it will stay with me always. 🧡
Thank you for sharing this, it’s beautiful! 🙏🏻
My wife passed 3 weeks ago and while she was unconscious the night before she passed she raised her arms up as if to hug someone. She did it four times that I witnessed. She had no strength left at that point, but she found the strength to reach her arms up. We are very certain she was being greeted by her family who went before her. I believe NDE are a look into the afterlife. I don't pretend to know how it works or why we go through it. The more I learn about it the more certain I am that it is a step in the human condition.
My mom died of covid in November. Before she passed I said goodbye via FaceTime. She was in a coma. I told her to go home and we (my family will be ok) ... After 2 weeks of being comatose and unresponsive. She took her last breath with a smile on her face. Heaven must look amazing.
Trust me, the spirit realm is more wonderful than words can describe..... She is very much alive right now and she will come for you when it is time.
my last 8 years before retirement was in Hospice. Many beautiful experiences. I decided to see a patient on my way home, in nursing facility. She was taking her last breaths, alone. I asked an assistant nurse to kneel by her bedside with me. Prayed The 23rd Psalm which I didn’t know, as she died. The assistant got up, praising Jesus “ I was healed! Jesus healed me! . She said when she kneeled without thinking, forgot she had two bad knees that she needed replaced, and pain so bad kneeling was impossible. All this happened in a couple of minutes. Miracles He allows us to witness, for His glory.
Hallelujah 🙌🏽
Jesus Christ: the Same, yesterday, today, and forever! ALLELUIA
Lost my husband at age 21 to murder. His hospital stay of 28 days lead me to becoming a Respiratory Therapist with geriatrics as my specialty. I’ve since retired after 30+ years caring for inpatients and home patients. Like you, have seen many incidents and heard many stories of Heaven and have witnessed the passing into what could only be surmised as Hell. A caregiver can make an impact on a patient but a patient can make as much of an impact on the caregiver ♥️
I lost my son to aggressive cancer two years ago….we were very close, and obviously I miss him dreadfully….but I can feel him around me still, and each day he gives me a thought so I wake smiling and thinking of him. I’m almost 70,;have COPD and respiratory issues, but when my time comes I know it will be him coming to take me.
My father also was dying from cancer, but quite lucid and with it, then one day he asked whatever was his mother doing there by the bed? She had died many years before. Oh just coming to see you, tell you she loves you I told him. No sweetheart, I think my time has come. Looking at me he smiled and said granny has come for me …don’t worry, you will be fine and I will see you again poppet….I didn’t know what to think, so said you just rest while I get you a cup of tea ( in fact I needed to compose myself as tears were threatening) but five minutes later when I went back in to him, he’d gone! Had a lovely serene smile on his face, so I know he is happy. He comes to let me know he is watching over me…I smell his particular brand of pipe tobacco, and other people have done too…just for a few minutes, then it’s gone. There is no death. Just a new chapter to life . I’m not afraid…people I love are there waiting.
You can be sure that they will call for you when your time comes.... Everything comes when it must... We simply pass on to our natural state of being.
I've been struggling with the death of my brother. My heart has been broken with the thought that I'll never see him again. Thank you for giving me hope. I long for the day I see him and my mom again.
We have faced many deaths in our existence, and this is just one more.... Our bodies are simply a vehicle for us while we are here... it is our souls that are eternal... Be assured they are alive and in total awareness..... When you have accomplished what you set out to accomplish then your body will die. Everything comes when it must...
My Dad passed about the time of your comment, so I know how you feel. I'm so frustrated about it cause he was euthanized and I didn't even get a chance to put him on some alternative therapies I had for him.
@@germanicelt Oh Martin, I am horrified that you were not given a chance to help your Dad. That he was euthanized is shocking, but this is what will happen with increasing frequency because older people are expensive and it is much easier to dispose of them before incurring these end-of-life costs. But euthanasia is NOT normal and families are being robbed of these last days with their loved ones. I am so sorry that you experienced this.
@@colleenevans6470 Thank you, i appreciate it. The real terrible thing is, the oncologist at the hospital just assumed his symptoms were being caused by a 35mm tumor, and didn't even bother to check the scans 3 months before to see if there was progression. We did afterward, and it was the same size. So the evidence shows he wasn't even terminal, just not getting betting their time. I have knowledge of natural healing, and had a few therapies lined up for him, like MMJ, but the medical system robbed us of the chance to turn his condition around.
@@colleenevans6470 Thank you. I live with this everyday, and I guess it won't get better until the perpetrators are brought to justice. At this point, no authority has said that it was unjust what they did to my Dad.
Hadley girl, you are doing a magnificent job!! I love ALL your stories. I've spent soo many hours on TicToc watching your videos.
I lost my Father 3 years ago. He was in Hospice care for 1 month and passed. The night before he passed only my mother and I were in the room with him at the time (he wasn't awake and was medicated) I asked my mother if he had been asking or saying any unfamiliar names. Which he had been doing during his time there. She said no. Then all of a sudden he turned his head, eyes still closed, looked up towards the corner of the room at the ceiling and said..... Mama?
My mother and I looked at one another and we knew his Mother was coming for him and he was leaving us. It's Both devastatingly sad to lose him and beautiful that his mother was there to comfort and meet him to continue his journey.
Your stories are very therapeutic, please continue on..... 💝💝💖💖
💜
Awww 🥰 when my Daddy passed, his mother (who had died when he was 4 of leukemia) was there waiting for him too! I love this, it is a gift that we were given a glimpse through our daddy’s eyes of what lies beyond the grave… Life, love and family! Warms the soul ♥️
My Mom was with my grandmother when she was dying. She had been unconscious, woke up, was reaching for her long passed Mom and sisters, Calling them their names, My grandmother said to them, "Let's get outta here." They appeared to be leaving and my Grandmother said, "you'll come back?" and they did come for her the next day. My Mom said they were absolutely there.
My great grandmother passed this morning. She was 88 years old and she passed from kidney failure. I’ve been watching your videos lately ever since I found out she was going to be on hospice and I just love your demeanor you’re so positive, you’re so beautiful, and you really brighten my day. And I don’t know if this was a hallucination due to the kidneys but yesterday she was calling out for her mom and said that her mom was coming and her mom was here and she was having a conversation with her mom, it was a lot of mumbling, but when I got out of it was that she was ready to go. And then this morning I got the call. I’ve been handling it quite well, your videos have helped me through that.
As someone who is TERRIFIED of death, this is so comforting!! Please keep sharing these stories.
Why be terrified of death? Jesus Christ is the way to heaven. Followers of Jesus have nothing to fear.
@@d.l.l.6578 AME!
so true
Most creatures are afraid of death, it's what makes us all fight for survival, but if there is nothingness at the end then that will be the same as before we were born, which perhaps isn't so terrifying if you perceive it like that.
@@d.l.l.6578 There is nothing to fear in death, even if you don’t believe in Jesus. As with birth, it is our only collective experience as humans. Our spirits are eternal, and there is peace beyond all human suffering after this life. It is my opinion, as a former hospice caregiver and current tech/ student RN who has witnessed many deaths that whatever you believe becomes your reality. However, even those of different religious beliefs or lack thereof will get to experience eternal peace after this transient life.
I lost my wife two yrs ago. I am ready.
What you're doing here is vitally important. PLEASE, keep going. Many blessings 💜
A relationship with Jesus is everything.
Six years ago when I was 55 years old, my heart stopped during a routine test. Apparently I was “gone” for 36 seconds which I was told is quite a long time. I don’t remember anything except that one minute a nurse was talking to me and the next I was immediately with my mother who had died 25 years before and my grandmother, my dad‘s mom, who had died nearly 35 years before. They were there waiting for me and they told me that I couldn’t stay with them yet, but that they would still be there to greet me when I returned later on. After I was revived and out of surgery for receiving a pacemaker the nurse who had been with me through everything confirmed that I had been clinically dead, but that they attempted one more time to revive me. I remember asking her if I had been talking during that time and she told me that there was no way I could be talking because I was clinically dead. She did not want to tell me that because she was afraid it would scare me. Quite the contrary. I am not afraid of death in the least anymore. I know that when I do go, I’m going to be surrounded by all of those people who loved me the most in this life and the people that I loved right back. People who want to try to convince me that I just dreamed this, fail miserably. How many people remember every detail of a dream they had almost 7 years ago? I remember every single thing that happened to me during the short time I was dead although it did seem much longer while I was talking to them.
Betsy Queen there are two kinds of 'time'. On earth, time, (as we know and understand time) is referred to as "Chronos". When our heart stops we immediately enter into a totally different kind of 'time', known as "Kairos". While you were in "Kairos" time, you could have felt and experienced so many things, that it felt as though you were gone for a day or more. But one thing is fact, your experience was not a dream or hallucination. It was absolutely true.
I also had an NDE during a surgery and felt myself floating and absolutely peaceful. I'm suddenly at a warm beach with the sun so bright I can't even look toward it. (yes, it was the light of God). I saw my grandmother while there but was told I couldn't stay. I returned to my body with a huge thud and woke to find people doing CPR on me. (It hurts when they do that!) When I got back I was so angry I couldn't stay. It was so peaceful and content. It took me months to get over the disappointment.
That was definitely NOT a dream, no way!!!!.....God bless you and your family 👍
I don't doubt your experience. I've personally known others who were dead even longer. Yet, I vividly remember dreams I had decades ago.
Is that a photo of you as a child in your profile? You look about 12 years old in the photo. Was it taken in the early 1970s?
You are doing the world a great service. From one nurse to another who is also a believer. Stay blessed❤
I worked for Hospice in Florida for 16 years, and have many such experiences with dying patients as well. As a result, I, too, do not fear dying. Thank you for sharing!
I love hearing your stories, I was my husband's and my youngest brothers care givers when they passed away. I do not fear death, I'm looking forward to it one day.
I have present when 2 close family members died. My father and my grandmother. Both saw and talked to family members that died many years before. Very comforting to know this.
My wife passed on 7/26 from pancreatic cancer. She was diagnosed just 8 weeks earlier. I tried my best to take care of her at home, but it became too difficult for her to swallow pills. Hospice was such a blessing. I could dote on her keeping her feet warm, giving her water or ice chips, without having to wake up every 2 hours to give pills. Thank you for what you do.
My mom had stage 4 ovarian cancer, went to hospice 2 weeks , then came home. When she passed she had gone into a coma but somehow opened her eyes, told everyone she loved them and passed. I wasn’t in the room but my sister, brother n law,, dad, and nephew were and I absolutely believe them. I know 💯 she is with Jesus. No questions or doubts in my mind but really knowing she is with our Lord and Savior.
My 84yo Dad was moments from passing, I held him as he lay peacefully with his old faded eyes closed. Suddenly he opened them, they were BRILLIANT SKY BLUE and he was looking past me, pointing weakly and kicking his feet a bit. I even turned to look at the empty corner he was looking at, then he lay back and exhaled and left. I know he saw where he was going 💖
Hadley, you are a gift to so many! As a woman who has lost three precious people to an untimely death (4-year old niece, 50-year old sister, and my 56-year old best friend), your words give me great hope and comfort that we will be reunited one day. Thank you
A month before my father died he was very sick and in pain every day he says to me my mum (my grandmother was dead) is here and she gonna take me with her and he would talk to her I'm a Muslim and i also believe in afterlife ❤❤
My mom went to heaven at 96 four years ago and all we felt was relief that she was out of that tired body and happy in heaven. No grief whatsoever. That is the reward of following Christ.
Grief, is about missing them. How can you not have grief? And the memories or their pain and suffering, and not getting to hear their goodbyes and so much more.
@@seeleygirl6178 when you know and have Jesus Christ you understand where they are going and you would also know this is a fallen world and we were never really mean to fall and end up here. This world is ruled by dark powers and principalities. the devil, fallen angels, Demons. And God loved us so much hebsent his son Jesus to come here and live and die a horrible death, paying for our sinsnon the cross by taking the wrath of God that was meant for us. So whoever believes in him, asks Jesus into their heart, and ask God for forgiveness for being a sinner ( to be born of flesh is to be born a sinner, most people don't understand this a d think they're good people, when God's standard of Good is much higher, and this is a good thing because it's a relief to know we will be in his care as there is alot of hate and sin in this world buy it won't be that way in heaven. We will be safe, at peace and so much good. )
The devil hates us and so do the fallen angels. They want to tale as many of God's children to hell with them as possible so they cause fear, they lead us astray and try to make us not believe in God or make us think God is responsible for the bad or let's bad things happen to us when really it's the devil and fallen angels. When eve and Adam sinned in the Garden and fell they gave all of their God given authority to satan. And he became the God of this world. Therefore Christ came down and defeated the devil through living a sinless perfectife and his work on the cross. So whoever calls on Jesus and believes in him, asks him into their heart and asks to recieve the Holy Spirit recieves eternal salvation and the authority through Christ who now dwells in the believer regains the authority over the devil and also with their salvation go to heaven and are free. Demons shudder at the name of Jesus. Theirnis power in his name. Praise him!
So while there is sadness when losing a loves one, it's different for believers when you know they are set free and going tonheaven, which is infinitely better than being Here in this world.
Hope this made sense lol God bless
@@christianchickpeajesussaves it's all very nice to say all of that, but religion has nothing to do with who goes to Heaven. We know this already from the literally hundreds of thousands of NDE's, Deathbed Visions and Afterlife communications that have been noted over the last 120 years. Sure, religions have their place in this world, but it is highly ignorant to claim that no-one goes to Heaven unless they know Jesus Christ! It ignores thousands of other cultures and their own beliefs, and ultimately, saying that unless you believe in Jesus Christ, you're not going to Heaven, is no better than the radical terrorists who claim they do what they do for their religion!
@@christianchickpeajesussaves You're ridiculous.
There is a 40-day period where a soul is still free to roam before it is sent to its eternal place of rest (or torment). This has been documented in religious literature. Even Jesus went on this journey after his death, which is why it took 40 days for the Holy Spirit to come to earth at Pentecost (the spirit of God Himself). This is even in the Star Wars movie. Souls have different powers after death, which is why people can be empowered by the death of a loved one to win at sporting events, conceive children, etc. It's a very complex area.
You're a very likable personality. I can see why God wanted you to be a nurse.
I think it's good to hear testimonies from people who do work closely with dying patients. It's comforting to know that there is a strong possibility that when death comes, we don't just fade out into oblivion and that's it........
When my uncle, who I considered my 2nd dad, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, I was devastated. I was facing my first significant loss of a loved one. My typical reaction to difficult things is to just avoid but I couldn’t do that this time. When my uncle entered hospice, the nurses brought with them some copies of the book “Final Gifts”. Reading that book completely transformed my thoughts on death and dying. Instead of avoiding, I was able to be present and support my aunt. Most of all, the stories in that book removed any doubt I may have still had about an afterlife.
I know there has to be a God, when I meet/hear people like Hadley tell their story……..very uplifting. Thank you Hadley for what you do.
Hadley, I came across your video and I do believe the Lord put it on my wall for a purpose. Last year my father in law was stricken with a stroke. Paralyzed on his left side of his body. As I was helping care for him, he told me that I would be really good as being a caregiver. A couple of months later he passed. I proceeded to take his advice, I am now a certified home health aid. On the 23rd of this month, I start my journey in hospice. My mother in law is concerned about this move, but I told her that if the Lord didn't want me in this position he would of never opened the door for me. I want to thank you for this video. It really makes so much sense being I too am a Christian. God Bless you and your family.
My father passed a few years ago, sadly I wasn’t there for the times he was awake and aware but his care nurse told me that when she was speaking with Dad a few days before, he told her that he was having a conversation with his mother when she asked who he was talking to - she knew at that point he was close to moving on
My mom told me when my late grandma got gravely ill she spoke that they(other loved ones) had come to get her, but she wasn’t ready to go!!! We thought for sure she would pass but she ended up living 10+ years! She passed away at the age of 102!!! There’s no doubt in my mind that she is in heaven now!!!! I think about how she gave heaven up to stay here with us for 10 more years!!! We miss you BigMama❤️🙏🏽
Hey!! I’m here from IG, I love listening to your stories. I lost my daughter a year ago and hope she wasn’t scared when she passed because it was so sudden and unexpected. Your stories bring me some comfort. Please keep doing what you’re doing 🙏🏽🥰🙌🏽
Sending hugs lady
The fact that the dying predict their death so often in terms of exactly when they will go is fascinating
@@Jones607 My mother passed away last month. While in the hospital the doctor and nurses said many people wait until they are alone to pass. My sister and I were by mom's bedside. She may not have known I was in the room. My sister said she was going to take a walk. I stayed in the room and about 5 minutes later mom passed. I think she wanted to be alone.
Hadley I love your stories I myself was a hospice nurse for 18 plus years. It changed my life, it blessed my life and it gave my life a purpose. Most people don’t understand the our hospice heart but I do. It’s a gift from above. As my nursing career comes to an end (45 year) those years in hospice will always be special. God bless you for all you do
I have been a home hospice nurse for 17 years. I too have many stories. The Lord has blessed me so richly in this profession. I hate when I meet people and they ask me what I do. Many times the response will be how can you do that job. But then when you meet someone who has had a lived me in hospice care the response is you are one of Gods angels! Best to you as you continue to provide love and care to the dying and their families. It’s important work. 🙏
Hello dear
I followed you here from Tik Tok. Before my Mama died, she was talking to her family members that were dead and before my sister died, she kept saying her boyfriend, who was dead, was sitting on her bed and she pointed at him. So if someone who is sick starts seeing or talking to their dead loved ones, then they’re probably not going to last long. It’s awesome to see that with only one video, you already have almost 500 followers! Keep it up and you’re going to do great!
I was with my mom in the hospital two days before she died, while sitting next to her, I had like a vision of a little girl with long curly brown hair, running through a wheat field, with a big smile on her face.
Im not sure, maybe she was running to greet my mom when she got to Heaven
It could have been your mom in heaven. Who knows what ages we are when we are there. I had what I think was a vision many years ago about myself in heaven and I feel like i was around 16 when I was there. I was in my 20s at the time. I acted like an excited kid during the vision. I saw lots of people in white robes gathered together. Jesus was up on stage and I was jumping above everyone out of excitment and Jesus had a big smile on his face when he saw me. I was also in a white robe.
@@JoshB913 I cant wait to see Jesus face to face
@@Miamiflow885 you won't but you do not have to be disappointd
The night my grandma died her spirit came through our house. She came by my bed and woke me up and our two dogs at the time started howling. I had never heard these dog howl before. Right after they stopped howling we got a call from hospice that she had passed. I guess she was telling us see y'all later. She had suffered for years from Alzheimer's so it was a relief for her to get out of that old broken body.
😲 my family experienced the same thing!!! I was 12 and I heard my grandmother calling me from the dining room, I thought she was back home from the hospital after being admitted for a month. It was about 2am and I woke up running half eyed open to the dining room and seen my mom comforting my older cousin. Then my sister showed up behind me, my sister asked, “you heard her too?” 🥺 The telephone rang and it was the hospital informing my mother nana had passed.
❤️❤️
a month after my husband died i started volunteering with our hospice. i was with them for 8 years. my “job” was to contact our families every saturday just to see how things were going with them. it was a smallish hospice. i called from 45 to 70 families. it was an amazing opportunity for me. i love hospice. 🌸
Hey Hadley, just came upon your channel. I’ve been following NDe and death and dying stories, as recounted by nurses and doctors and those who had an NDe, for the last three years or so. I have found so much comfort and peace through these stories.
Thank you for taking the time in putting this channel together 🙏🏽
I’m so glad I found your channel. You gave me hope today. This is your ministry. Please consider writing a book of these stories. God will help you.
I spent many years surrounded by loud, cynical, self-important atheists. I myself remained an open minded agnostic but when my beloved sister died two years ago I felt complete desolation at the thought of never being with her again. Bless you for giving me hope. Love, Allan.
Seek Jesus,He gives eternal life,no fear in death.You can KNOW for sure.✝️🙏😉
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you WILL be saved.
I have been a life long atheist and skeptic, (especially of organised religion), however, after hundreds of hours of research, I will concede that there must be a sort of "collective consciousness" of departed souls, that inhabit space and time. I don't see it as the God that is portrayed in the religions of the world, but I do think that there is an energy based spirit world (perhaps several) that runs parallel to this one. It would be foolhardy to dismiss the mountains of evidence for the supernatural in my view.
@@thewatchman6074 That’s exactly what I have come to believe over time.
It is true, Allen. And it's not something that I merely believe--It's something that I KNOW.
You WILL see your sister again ♥
My friend had an allergic reaction to a new medication while at work. Her throat closed up and she was rushed to hospital. While they tried to save her, she felt her spirit pop out of her body and watched the doctors work on her. Next she was in heaven, saw others, saw the Lord Jesus and felt overwhelming love and peace and wanted to stay there. When she was suddenly pulled back here she awoke in the intensive care unit and began to cry because she didn't want to return here she said. She also said she will never fear death again.
That's called a near death experience or an nde. There are lots if videos on CZcams of people telling their nde stories.
I tend to believe NDE's that don't have a religious agenda..What about the billions of people who don't believe or worship Jesus? Do we get cast into a burning fire? Your story does a disservice to people who are seeking answers or have recently lost a loved one..
@Nick Most religions teach they are the only true religion and you will go to hell if you don't believe as they do. I was raised Catholic and was told in Sunday school I would go to hell if I attended a church other than Catholic. Since then I've grown and have my own way of looking at religion. I now reject and claim of exclusivety when it comes to religion. I believe God is the God of humanity and all people can go to heaven regardless of their faith or if they have no faith what so ever.
Truth is truth Nick. Read the Bible and see what Jesus taught. You don't have to believe in something for it to be true. God himself will judge all mankind. Those who seek him earnestly will find a loving God. He doesn't want to send anyone to hell. Our choice to reject him and our sin separates us from him. If we reject Jesus' gift of death and blood sacrifice to pay for our sins, we essentially choose hell ourselves. All mankind sins and his gift of eternal life lets everyone who accepts him and believes into heaven. Think about it. Why would anyone want to let in every rebellious person who rejects the truth and lives their own way into heaven? Then heaven would be hell, like many are experiencing on earth now. Corruption, greed, abuse of power, hate, division, murder, all exist here. Do you believe there is no sin and we don't need a Saviour? Well one came, God himself incarnate in form of man. He understood our troubles, lived as a man, suffered and died. So believe what you want, your own form of "religion", but sadly it won't save you. Trust in the one who can.
@Janet Molnar According to fundamentalist Christians you don't need to be a murderer or a thief to be kicked out of heaven
All you have to do is make the wrong choice and not believe in Jesus to be tossed into the fire for eternity.
I just love you so much! Your stories are helping me through the most difficult time in my life (lost my Momma January 2020). I was with her when she passed and the days leading up to that moment. You are an angel on earth for what you do.
You are so very precious and gift to those in transition...God has clearly directed you where you belong. Lifting you up in prayer 💜✝️💜
😎 You are more than a nurse. You are an angel occupying a human body. Thank you for doing what you do. 😎
I remember coming downstairs at my old home and my great uncle was standing there for a second, then he was gone. I went into the kitchen, and that's when I learned he had died. I'm convinced he was saying goodbye. It was very comforting and loving.
Today, at around 5:00 pm, my best friend passed away, in my living room, laying in his hospice bed. It was a rapid decline from the ravages of dementia. He was 82. His Hospice team, Tidewell Hospice of Sarasota County, Florida were a God send to me. I would not be sane, nor watching videos for comfort without them. The Lord, Our Creator, knows all our needs. Bless you, Sister for your work. Yeshua, Jesus. He is real, and He is coming back now. Blessings to all. Maranatha
My mother passed a few weeks ago. Strong, independent, very matriarchal Irish mother. I cared for my father when he passed and a younger brother less than two years later. I've been a nurse too and though I never worked in hospice - I did work well with the terminally ill and dying. The spiritual was often neglected which was a disgrace I felt. I am delighted they speak more openly about all these very real experiences today. Doctors, oncologists, scientists, neuro scientists etc without fear of ridicule or losing their careers. Looking at the nature of consciousness itself and quantum physics. I have no doubt whatsoever that the future of medicine will be about HEALING rather than treating symptoms or 'cures' again. The whole person - and we are most often and profoundly wounded in spirit. Bringing in all the alternative modalities of healing too - combining the lot. Science and Spirituality will merge and become one and the same and realise they have been this all along anyway - seeking answers to the unknown. With all the experience I have had over the years with those of all ages and conditions - I do find my mother's passing intensely difficult at times. I have had no fear of death for many years now and still don't fear it. But the absence is very acute. She had a hard life - and big family - sixteen of us had all survived. But still sixteen on other side of us. I believe part of my being in this world was to help her out. I really do. So did my siblings and my mother would say it herself. It was not always easy either but I would not change one aspect of it at all. At times we can feel in life so full of life and light and then come back to earth with a bang. Whatever the experience - we are transformed - more compassion, empathy and deeply human. The depth of that humanity can also be measured in the pain of separation. But I know it changes and eases with time. They are more alive now than they or we are here. We are with each other all the time. Just living/vibrating on different frequencies now for a time. Life goes on - ever evolving and changing to newer, more abundant Life. Thank you for sharing the Light. KEEP DOING SO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) Nursing is not always easy - but it is worth it. :-) There is a poem, 'The Hound of Heaven' - Francis Thompson... and a stanza...
It is a spiritual classic and was penned by a dying heroin addict 18th Century London I think :-
'172 All which I took from thee I did but take, Not for thy harms,
173 But just that thou might'st seek it in My arms.
174 All which thy child's mistake
175 Fancies as lost, I have stored for thee at home:
176 Rise, clasp My hand, and come !'
177 Halts by me that footfall:
178 Is my gloom, after all,
179 Shade of His hand, outstretched caressingly ?
180 'Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest,
181 I am He Whom thou seekest !
182 Thou dravest Love from thee, who dravest Me.' '
I had my mom in a hospice as being her Carer her health deteriorated beyond my care - she said one day out of the blue that her late dad and brother are coming down from the mountain and that it wouldn’t be long - that week she died and I’ve felt lost ever since
Pray.
This girl is just a beautiful soul inside and out. Perfect job for her :)
Sooooo happy for you, I took care of 3 of my family members before they passed in hospice, magical experience, changed how I saw death. Thank you for you stories !!! Good luck !
What magical experience can u share some
I love hearing these stories. Hospice nurses are amazing people. We loved my dad's nurse. Thank you for what you do.
I was very much a skeptic even though I am a Christian, up untiI was a caregiver for my grandmother who was a hospice patient for a year and six months. She would see people almost every day for the last three months she lived.
I am a Caregiver love hearing your experiences. I do believe there’s a Heaven for all of us. You are very strong person to be a Hospice nurse.
I would love if you could share more stories or even bring on people who could share stories. This is so fascinating.
Hadley, you’re the reason to drive my passion to wanting to be in Hospice!!
I am so happy you made a CZcams channel! I am an RN for 13 years, adult MSICU for the past 9 years so I see a lot of death as well, but it’s often patients who are still a full code. I have been interested in working hospice since my mom passed away in hospice 12 years ago. I have a lot of questions about the afterlife so I hope you will do more videos like this one of patient stories because I watched it with hope and tears in my eyes and it brought me a lot of comfort. ❤️
I was with my mom when she passed, and I had spent the week before with her. She had the reaching for the sky. And before she started fading away she had told me her dad came to get her and she was going home. I was holding her hand when she left to go home, and wouldn't trade that moment for anything. The hospice nurse helped me understand everything that was going to happen leading up to her last days so I knew what to expect. She made the process so much easier, and I'm so grateful for her.❤
Also Hadley, I met someone the other day who told me that she recently found out her grandmother has 2 brain tumors, that she had been keeping it a secret for a while (she didn't want to tell everyone at first because she didn't want them to give her a hard time about her decision to not have treatment).
I told her about you, and that you have the most heartwarming stories on your social media accounts as well as your upcoming book release. She was very interested and she looked you up right away. I felt like she is going to need someone like you to help her get through what she's facing. I know that your words will warm her heart. ❤
Keep’em coming. I would love to hear more stories of your patients.
My brother is getting ready to pass. I am the baby of 7 at 58 and have already lost my youngest brother and youngest sister. Plus my mom and dad. Im at peace watching this knowing he will be meeting our family again. Thank you for the share.
Very nice stories, thanks! Many people don't know that this phenomenon is actually very common in the dying. I don't think they are hallucinations either.
I've had similar experiences working with the elderly seeing loved ones when their passing is near. One patient asked me to tell her family to keep the noise down she said they're all sitting around my room talking and I can't sleep. I asked her who was there and she told me of passed family member's but also some she didn't recognize. Some saw a little boy..... Look the little boy is here... Many saw this child. I think it's beautiful.
Please tell them darling, I'm not a crackpot but there is another side, the only thing there is is love, no pain, no anger or hate. I wasn't ready to go so I fought and fought with every fiber of my soul to go back and I did, with a rushing gust I was a ghost stood to the right of my body laying on the bed and then, without a conscious thought, I climbed into my body like I was getting into bed, literally. I could see my ghostly hand slip into my physical hand that my husband was holding, that's when my sensations came back along with the pain. Like I said, when you go you don't have a 'physical' body, you are just you, that voice in the back of your mind, your consciousness. I don't fear death, I fear for the sadness it may leave behind but again, with love the sadness will heal with time.
What a WONDERFULL Woman /Nurse....to me she EXUDES love and compassion. I can truly hope when it's my 'turn' , I have a WONDERFULL nurse like Hadley. X
Thank you so much. My comment is a little different- my view of hospice nurses is that they are as close to angels as you can get this side of Heaven. When my mother passed about ten years ago, she was taken to hospice while in a coma (after a stroke), and she was in hospice for only about 12 hours before she passed - she passed at 4 am, the golden hour. The nurse staff, who never met my mother or even had a chance to talk with her, was crying, and I never forgot that.
I'm currently reading your book. I wish I read it before my mother passed. I would have been more prepared for taking care of her when she was in Hospice. Your book just confirmed that my sister and I allowed my mother to have a peaceful transition.
They are so many moments while reading your book that I've reflect on the mother's last days , bring tears to my eyes.
This book is very informative and possibly should be given to everyone who admits a loved one into Hospice.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for what you do. Tomorrow is the 3rd anniversary of my grandma’s passing. It’s hospice nurses like you who kept her comfortable the last day (she went to hospice one day and was gone the next morning). I still miss her so much, but knowing she was kept comfortable helps a little.
So sorry for your loss! Thinking of her today
@@NurseHadley thank you so much! It also helps me to know that I’ll see her again some day.
I too worked as a Hospice nurse for 8 years. It wasn't what I had planned on doing but that is where they put me at the hospital. Yes it is very hard and mentally draining. The abuse that nurses take is unreal. I was changed as a person after working hospice. I was very strong at the time. Yes, I have experienced the same thing where a hospice patient would tell me when they were going to die. It's true; some of them just know. I might add that while I was strong for my hospice patients, I was not able to be that strong when I was caring for my parents at the end of their lives.
Firstly, bless you for what you do in caring for hospice patients. I witnessed both of my parents passing and both were seeing and talking with those they loved that passed prior. Even reaching with their arms to embrace those already gone and conversing with them.
The only things hospice workers dont have are wings. God bless the generous and special people.
Wow, this is the first video of yours I've seen.
I'm a retired long term care nurse. I began my career in 1985 doing the job I said I would never do. However I found that I absolutely loved caring for the people who built this wonderful free country for us. I learned so much from them, their life's histories. The struggles and sacrifices the WW2 generation went through. The stories of the soldiers, and the families back home. One veteran was in the first few to enter a concentration camp right after Germany surrendered, he gave me a few pictures he took from inside the camp. The images are horrific, but I view them as important reminders of where unchecked tyranny and evil will go. I took care of a few survivors of the Nazi concentration camps. Seeing the serial numbers tattooed on their arms is a picture seared in my mind.
I digress, I've experienced many many instances of visioning as you described. Even in my own family. My father in law was hospitalized, he had end stage COPD and pneumonia. We went to see him after work one day, visited a bit. He was more lucid and alert than he'd been in several days. We were going to go get a bite for supper and told him we'd be back, he told us not to bother, he could see Mary (his late wife) and she had been talking with him, and she was fixing him supper. We weren't sure what he was talking about, but we went home. The phone rang shortly after we got home, (this is when phones had wires, and they were in the house) it was the hospital. He had passed away.
There's nothing I know of Biblically or scientifically to support visioning, but I believe in the Lord and I truly believe that in some cases for some people he lifts the viel between this life and the next, allowing people to be in the presence of loved ones who passed away years ago. I think it's an example of how he gives comfort to those who are near death. I can't recall anyone who experienced visioning ever having a rough death, they were always very peaceful.
One day I heard my sister talking to someone, when I asked her who she was talking to, she said "Sal", ( Sal was her 1st boyfriend ) then I said, "sweaty, Sal's not with us anymore", she said "yes he is, he's right there standing in the corner". Sal had passed away 2 years prior, my sister passed away 4 days later
Thank you so much for sharing Hadley. I'd consider myself very much of a skeptic but people sharing with such compassion and honesty gives me hope. This means so much to me today ❤
Glad to hear that, God Bless 🙏🏻
My mom passed last February (2023). It's videos like these which help me navigate the stages of grief . And this will be my first holiday season without her . I don't even want to celebrate the holidays, especially Christmas . But I'm glad to know she's joined her father and has no more suffering
