Is it common for people to wake up before they die? Is it God’s way of giving us a chance to say goodbye?
There do seem to be a lot of cases of a last surge of energy and lucidity just prior to the final sleep.
Or a chance to tell them to get back to work.
"Hello Peter, good to have you back with us. Ummm, I'm gonna need you to go ahead come in tomorrow. So if you could be here around 9 that would be great, mmmk?"
