Near-Death and Other Transpersonal Experiences Occurring During Catastrophic Events.
The American journal of hospice & palliative care June 1, 2017 Madelaine Lawrence
Near-death and other transpersonal experiences—such as out-of-body experiences and after-death communications—occur not only in hospitals or during grief but also during catastrophic events like floods, wars, bombings, and death camps. Examples include a near-death experience during the Vietnam War, an out-of-body experience after a bomb explosion in the Iraq War, a near-death visit by a woman imprisoned at Auschwitz, and after-death communications from a person killed in Auschwitz and a World War I soldier. Interviews with two New York City policemen who responded on September 11, 2001, are also included. First responders and emergency healthcare professionals often lack awareness of these experiences, which could provide comfort to both victims and responders.
The incidence of deathbed communications and their impact on the dying process.
The American journal of hospice & palliative care November 1, 2013 Madelaine Lawrence, Elizabeth Repede
Hospice chart audits and a survey of hospice nurses across the United States show that deathbed communications (DBCs) occur in the 30 days before death and are associated with a more peaceful dying process. Chart audits found that only 5 of 60 records (8.33%) included descriptions of DBCs, while 75 nurses reported 363 incidences, averaging 4.8 per nurse per 30 days. Of the nurses surveyed, 89% reported that patients who experienced a DBC had a peaceful and calm death, compared with 40.5% for those without a DBC. These communications positively impact the dying process but are underreported in patient records and textbooks.
