NSFW / Trigger Warning “What did I just witness”

Whoever posted about the patient who passed away after an unsettling look…

This is not unusual. If you’re a hospice worker I’m really surprised you posted this. It’s frightening to witness but very normal. Most experienced hospice care nurses will warm family members that mins before the final breath, the patient may lean forward, open eyes, and they often have a distant stare and sometimes look like they have a grimace or may even look like they are in pain. It’s a form of terminal lucidity. Shame on everyone on that thread saying stupid nonsense about demons and going to hell. You response is obtuse and fear mongering, and you appear far from enlightened with regard to the afterlife, and I feel sorry for you.

I am sitting next to the bed of a dying family member. Thank you to all of you for this conversation. Hospice has been wonderful guiding us thru the ups and downs, the lucid moments, the tears, the non-recognition and every emotion you can think of ... it takes a very special person to be a hospice worker.

God bless you and your family and especially your sick loved one. I know the feeling. Hospice does such a wonderful job - they are walking saints imo. Your loved one will be immersed in unconditional love, light, and bliss soon with all the physical limitations removed. Life does not end with physical death. Science is finally beginning to prove this and there is an abundance of evidence out there that can comfort you if you have any doubts. Bless you ❤️🙏

My pleasure! Thinking about you during this tough time. I’m passionate about this subject and I know I piss a lot of people off, but after losing close family members and going through my dark night of the soul, I found myself on a spiritual journey (still on it), and it led me to the intersection of science, philosophy, and spirituality. My Catholic upbringing just wasn’t cutting it! Haha. Consciousness is fundamental and there is 💯 life after life !!

I was raised Catholic too. In fact, my mom went into a convent when she turned 18! Thankfully, it wasn't cutting it for her either or I wouldn't be here! I had to look up "consciousness is fundamental". Have heard that before but never really thought about what it meant ... sounds like I need to book a trip on my own spiritual journey eh?

I highly recommend. I have a lot of books that I can suggest if you’re willing to start the journey down the rabbit hole

Yeah I'm glad that more people like yourself are starting to understand the new paradigm that consciousness might be an inherent property of reality and there is some kind of existence beyond this form as quantum consciousness energy in layman's terms lol

I would like that very much. I want to fall into that rabbit hole like Alice in Wonderland!! Still sitting next to family member. They are bringing in the morphine today.

It's curious. The same thing happened to me when I lost my mother. I am also convinced that death is not the end, but rather a transition.
