About 29 years ago my wife and I worked in a nursing home. I was not involved in patient care but she was. She worked as a Nurses assistant for 5 years. In that time she sat with many dieing patients in their final hour and seconds. When a patient told you I'm going home I won't be here tomorrow they didn't mean they were going back to their residence. It usually meant next morning when you got to work they told you the patient passed earlier.

The patients sometimes would describe what was going on to her and close to the end what they were seeing although they could not really describe it. One day she got called in on her day off. She had been working about an hour and another building called her and told her to get to her grandmothers room STAT. Her grandmother was in her last couple of hours and she was with her. In the final minutes she watched her grandmothers hand movements. She had been a piano and voice teacher and her hand movement were her directive ones.

In ICU she heard a monitor go off meaning someones heart wasn't beating. The nurses rushed in and check and asked her if she was OK. She said yea but that person across the rooms alarm went off. They told her that was yours no one is over there. The next thing in ICU she remember was fear and suddenly feeling the bed rocking as if it were rocking bed.

My dad tells me of something he saw after his dad had passed. He was in the Navy when word came and he went home on leave. WW2 had just ended. They released him on a hardship so he could care for his mother and two minor siblings.

He said he was awake laying in bed and his dad walked in the room and sat down on his bed and looked at him a minute then got up and left. He never said nothing. Dad wasn't one to make up stories or tall tales especially on something like this.

I believe near death experiences many times are what our spirit witnesses and not as such our physical being. For whatever reason it may not be time for the spirit to depart from the earthly body even if the earthly body is at death. GOD breathes life into us. It is His to give or takeaway, extend or cut short, for our own sake or the sake of others.
