The former First Lady believes her long-suffering husband recognized her when he stared into her eyes for an instant before taking his last breath, his daughter Patti Davis writes.

I can't read this.

I believe it. I have no way to prove this, but from hearing the stories of friends who were with loved ones at the very end of their lives, I believe that before the body gives up its last breath in death, the soul and spirit of a person have already moved on to the next life. But there is clearly a moment when the person is suspended between this world and the next. I have heard of people who even after being in a coma, rose up on their beds and exclaimed the beauty of something, some place, that only they could see. People have called out in greeting to loved ones, long dead. The mother of a friend of mine, dying of cancer, described seeing Jesus, that He was on a field of grass with a crowd of others, and was calling her to come dance with Him.

What can explain the sudden rush of life back into a person's body that has been whithered-away by disease and the process of death? Why do many people have a vision of paradise as they breathe their last? How was it that Ronald Reagan came out of what was very likely a coma, and had one brief moment of recognition and connection with his wife before he left this earth? I think it's because they already have one foot in heaven

I didn't even have to watch the replay when Nancy said in a hushed voice "I can't believe it" and Patti replied "He's here!" before they both hugged. This article only confirms it for me. They could feel his spirit enveloping them in an embrace and welling up inside them in that room.

I had those same feelings when my grandfather passed on when I was 14 years old.

As always, thanks for the ping Mo1.
