What My Relationship Was to the Person Who Died
I was a hospice volunteer with my first patient who made the transition.
My Experience Being Present During the Transition
I had never sat with a dying person before, and I was asked to sit with an elderly man who was all alone. I arrived at the hospital at 9:30 in the morning and the gentleman was lying in the bed, breathing slightly, and not aware of my presence. I held his hand and talked to him quietly, letting him know that he was not alone. At 9:57 A.M. he took his last breath. The holy event was peaceful, I was honored to be with him at the time of death, and I will never forget it.
What I'd Do Differently
- I would not do anything differently.
Did the person do or say anything that surprised you?
No
Did you sense angels or another spirit near?
I don't know if this came from him, or an angel, but when he passed over, I heard these words ... "none of this really matters."
