Most were peaceful. Some saw angels or family come to get them shortly before vitals stopped. Only once did I see the opposite. A rather hateful, demanding, well-to-do woman who snapped her fingers at nurses and family alike fell into a coma. Hadn\u2019t moved or spoken in three days. Her heart was failing.+<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;As she breathed her last she sat straight up with a look of horror and yelled, &#8216;Oh god, no!&#8217; Fell back and died. A fellow nurse and I looked at each other and the hair on our arms stood up.

She&#8217;d been in a comatose state for almost a week, waiting for Sunday\u2014for church and her family before she was ready to go anywhere.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"q-box spacing_log_answer_content puppeteer_test_answer_content\">\n<div class=\"q-text\">\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;I swear she smiled from the very first notes of her favorite songs, and just as we finished\u00a0<em>Onward Christian Soldiers,<\/em>\u00a0she sat straight up in her bed, opened her eyes, and had the most beatific smile on her face, like she was looking in the face of God, then laid back and blew out her last breath.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;My cousin and I were across the hall, sitting on a bench crying, of course, and the instant her head touched the pillow, both of us felt her arms around us and smelled the lilac perfume she loved so much but hadn&#8217;t worn since her arrival a week earlier, and we both clearly heard her humming like she did when she&#8217;d be rocking a baby to sleep\u2014something every single one of us had heard from the first time she held us.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;And we both looked at each other with the same look of shock and knew she was gone, but her last thoughts were that she loved us and she was okay, and we would be too; that she wasn&#8217;t going far; and that she&#8217;d be there with or without a body so we didn&#8217;t need to be sad anymore.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;Then she was gone, and so were our tears.

If you want me to describe the width of the light, I will approximate six inches. The\u00a0vital signs had ceased (no breathing or heartbeat) approximately ten minutes prior to the departure, which occurred as I was alone bathing and prepping the body for the mortician.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"q-box spacing_log_answer_content puppeteer_test_answer_content\">\n<div class=\"q-text\">\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;The light was so unworldly-bright that my young vision remained blurry for three hours afterwards.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;All the nurses were aware of this phenomenon. We speak reassuringly to the dying, before, during, and after bodily death, because we know biological death is a process, not an &#8216;alive one moment, dead the next&#8217; scenario.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;So, if you are at the bedside of a dying person, speak out loud to them. Tell them they are loved, safe, and transitioning. Tell them you will be fine, and it\u2019s okay for them to go. Tell them they were a wonderful friend, parent, or relative. Say they will never be forgotten. Tell them to seek the Light. Pray or sing, play music or read poems. Touch them, kiss them. Continue to do so after the vitals have slowed, then stopped.<span class=\"c1h7helg\">+<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;This does facilitate their peaceful transition.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Linda Johnson, f<span class=\"c1h7helg\">ormer\u00a0RN\u00a0at\u00a0<span class=\"q-text qu-wordBreak--break-word\">Veterans Affairs Medical Center<\/span>\u00a0(2005\u20132022)<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"q-flex\">\n<div class=\"q-box qu-mb--small\">\n<div class=\"q-box spacing_log_answer_header\">\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"q-flex qu-alignItems--flex-start\">\n<div class=\"q-box qu-flex--auto qu-alignSelf--center\">\n<div class=\"q-box\">\n<div class=\"q-inlineFlex qu-alignItems--center\">\n<div class=\"q-box qu-display--inline\">\n<div class=\"q-box qu-display--inline\">\n<div class=\"q-relative qu-display--inline puppeteer_popper_reference\">\n<div class=\"q-click-wrapper c1nud10e qu-display--inline qu-tapHighlight--white qu-cursor--pointer\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\">\n<div>&#8220;My mom was 57 years in the year 2000. She was placed on life support because she couldn&#8217;t breathe on her own from having a flu bug. She was in ICU for three weeks.+<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"q-box spacing_log_answer_content puppeteer_test_answer_content\">\n<div class=\"q-text\">\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;My mom was a prayer warrior for so many. At the end of three weeks, we decided to take her off of life support since she was a DNR\/DNI [Do Not Resuscitate\/Do Not Intubate] to begin with, but doctors thought she would make it. My mom was in God&#8217;s Hands. The day before mom was taken off life support, I was in the room with her. The two cousins came into the room to visit. All three of us watched my mom open her eyes. She tried to sit up with the tube in her mouth. She looked at my one cousin and tried to smile. She looked at the other cousin and then looked at me as if she was going to tear up.+<\/p>\n<p class=\"q-text qu-display--block qu-wordBreak--break-word qu-textAlign--start\">&#8220;My cousin said, &#8216;Look, Sue is glowing.&#8217; My mom had this white and yellowish glowing light all around her. Then, bam, she fell back into the mattress and it was as if she was\u2026GONE! It was like her spirit left her body and her body was nothing but a shell. The shell of her body continued to try to survive after the tube was pulled. She hiccupped a lot, burped, and her body was shutting down, yet I believe her soul was gone. The shell of her body stopped breathing after two days. Then she was declared dead at 3:33 a.m.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;Nadine Suzi<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><em>[resources: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">books on the afterlife<\/span>]<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gsp_post_data\" \r\n\t            data-post_type=\"post\" \r\n\t            data-cat=\"afterlife\" \r\n\t            data-modified=\"120\"\r\n\t            data-created=\"1758006251\"\r\n\t            data-title=\"Social Media: At The Moment Of Death\" \r\n\t            data-home=\"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Quora:+ + How long after death does it take for the spirit to leave the body? ++ &#8220;As a.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-77394","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-afterlife","7":"entry"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77394\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spiritdaily.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
