Julie McFadden from California has had 16 years of experience as a nurse in Hospice. Four phrases most often hear from patients on a fatal bed: Thank you. I forgive you. Goodbye. Please forgive me. According to her, this is not a dramatic Hollywood moments at the last exhalation, but a peaceful statement that may sound even a few days before death, informs the diary
Some patients seem to knowingly determined the date of their death, for example, they waited for a daughter’s wedding or precisely predicted the night they die. “I don’t have an explanation,” admits Julie, who always falls in similar cases and can’t believe it.
Another common phenomenon is the vision of dead relatives or pets that usually appear about three weeks before death. Patients are Alece and fully conscious. “They are not under the influence of drugs or on the brink of death. They walk, talk and see things we don’t see,” she added.
Some die calmly, others say strange or incomprehensible sentences. “They may not make sense to us, but they may have meaning to them,” Podelila in Julie.
