Deathbed Visions : is a phenomenon, whereby a dying person has
an awareness of the presence of dead relatives or friends. These
deceased persons who visit the dying, are said to visit at the time near
death, to help the sick person 'cross over to the other side'. In
other words, to help the dying person with the transition from life to
death. There have been documented cases where the person who is
dying has actually seen someone on their deathbed, that they could not
have possibly known had already died before them. This type of
report tends to add some weight to the phenomenon. See also: afterlife,
