What is a Death Bed Vision? Death Bed Visions come in all shapes and sizes. Some people receive visitations from deceased relatives while others encounter angels, or religious figures. Many of the accounts contained in One Last Hug Before I Go: The Mystery and Meaning of Death Bed Visions, discuss seeing a wisp of "something" leaving the body of a friend or relative at the moment of passing . This phenomena is nothing new. It has been described over and over again, for as long as time can remember.

Those who are about to leave will often talk about seeing beautiful landscapes on the other side and then state this is where they will be after they pass. In most cases, once one has had such a vision, death is no longer something to fear. Death Bed Visions bring comfort not only to the dying, but to those who love them.

"Yes, my Da is going to the sky!" My own son had a powerful Death Bed Vision when he was just 3 years of age. Visited by an other worldly creature who shared he was here to take my father in law with him, left my son confident his Da was all right.

Within the pages of One Last Hug Before I Go, you will read numerous accounts of Death Bed Vision experiences from those who lived at the turn of the century and earlier. This documentation is then compared with Death Bed Vision accounts from present day sources. As you will quickly see, the similarities over time are striking.

If you yourself have had an other worldly vision which you feel is connected to the passing of a loved one, you are not alone. If your dying loved one has shared with you tales of visitations by deceased relatives, loved ones or other beings, know that what they were seeing was real. Possibly your friend or dear one who was passing talked about vising a beautiful place while sleeping, or maybe they shared with you that they had "talked to God," "Jesus," "the angel of death," "angels in white," or "light beings." These are not uncommon statements from those who are passing.

My basic reason for writing One Last Hug Before I Go was to enlighten society about life after death. I wanted to show the public at large that the Death Bed Visions have been with us for centuries. I believe it is time for us to do as our ancestors did in generations gone by. We need to once again, pay attention to the words of those who are leaving this world.

(The author invites you to share your own Death Bed Visions or those of loved ones, via her website.)

From NC0GNEAT0, 5/17/01:

Regrettably, I had just started a new job 5 hours away when my Mother was on her deathbed and couldn't get off that Friday (I had planned to go in the next day) the 13th in 1997. However, two of my brother were there with her in the hospital.

Near the end, she opened her eyes and looked straight at, and seemingly through, my oldest brother and said "I thought you were dead.".
My brother could tell that she wasn't really looking at him or even aware that he was in the room. I believe she was being greeted by those who were there to help her cross.

A confirmation of this belief came at the funeral. My aunt Pauline, who was the widow of my Mother's brother James, told us of an experience she had in her home an hour away from the hospital at just the same time as my Mother's passing. James, my uncle who had crossed some years earlier, appeared to my Aunt Pauline (as he has done before according to her) in the hallway of the house they'd shared together.

As he stood there very clearly, no eerie smoke or strange lights, he said, "Irene's with me now - there's no need to worry anymore."

I firmly believe he, and many others, were there to help my Mother through it that Friday afternoon. Everyone should be as lucky to have such a deathbed vision. I'm sure it gave my Mother comfort and peace to have her little brother there and made the transition that much easier.
