You know I have had expericences with this. Not personally but with people close to me including children.

When my youngest son had cancer(he died 8 months later. He was two years old in 1992), I had the privilege of meeting other children who after becoming terminal, related to their parents of the visions they had. One family in particular, who were totally agnostic, were converted to christianity because of their dying 8 year old son, Brendan who had visions before he died of angels telling him he will be going to heaven soon. Now, his parents forbade anything relgious in their lives up to that point.

Even my two yearold son, a month before he died while we were at treatment at UCSF. He was not terminal, there were every indication that he was going to beat his leukemia. He died a month later from septic shock due to a blood infection.

Anyway, while were there in May of 1992, unbeknownst to me, he started to give away personal items to people at UCSF including some patients. He gave away his matchbox cars, a item of clothing and a couple of his favorite books. I was told later what he did. HE KNEW!!! at two years old!!!

I do feel some small comfort in that for sure. The Lord is GREAT!!! I thank him for that Gift!!!

More recently, my brother who almosts died this summer, had a NDE, although he is still trying to put into context what happend to him. He told me this: Liz, mom and dad have a message for you....HANG IN THERE EVERYTHING WILL BE OK! There are other things he still cannot talk about.

Anyway, my experience.

I knew a young girl with leukemia and she told the priest that she was ready to go but couldn’t until her mother was ready.

The day she died she was laying in her mother’s arms when she perked up and insisted that they had to kneel and pray and then she was in total peace.
