Rick says- Given the thousands of accounts of deathbed visions on youtube and other sources by now one would think cryonics would have a few stories. I haven't heard any or seen any on cryonic forums. It's likely due to privacy even though many cryos have not signed NDA's and wanted to be public. Still, the cryonics industry reports nothing and cryonicists will always deny any real-woo-woo in favor of hallucinations even though NDA patients report operating room conversations accurately after revival from flatlining. Nurse Penny has interesting tales to tell. I myself have Dorothy-tales to tell that shocked me.

Deathbed Visions and Other Shocking Stories from a Hospice Nurse"
Death is often seen as a mysterious and scary part of life. Many people avoid talking about it or thinking too much about what happens when we die. But for hospice nurse Penny Smith, death is a daily occurrence, and she has witnessed countless patients take their last breaths over her 17+ years of experience in hospice care.
Through her work, Penny has also been privy to the fascinating phenomenon of deathbed visions. These are the experiences of dying patients who have visions of deceased loved ones or even pets before they pass away. This can happen weeks or even days before their death, and they are often very clear about what they are seeing.
Penny has seen firsthand how these visions can bring comfort to patients in their final days. One of her patients, who had lost his wife a year earlier, was crying and reaching up to the corner of the room, saying he could see her. When Penny asked if she was coming to get him, he replied that she would come tomorrow. And although he didn't pass away the next day, his caregiver later revealed that it was "just like her" to be late.
But deathbed visions are not the only shocking experiences that Penny has witnessed in her career. She also talks about terminal lucidity, when dying patients suddenly have a burst of energy and become more alert and communicative before they die.
Penny also shares stories of "travel language," where patients start talking about needing to go somewhere, and sometimes even wait for someone to arrive before passing away. This has been observed in about 4 in 10 dying patients, and it is believed that they may be preparing for their journey into the afterlife.
And speaking of the afterlife, Penny has encountered many cases of afterlife communication between dying patients and their loved ones. She has heard patients call out for their deceased parents or siblings, and even seen them pointing to the corner of the room where they can see these loved ones.
Through all of these experiences, Penny has gained a unique perspective on death and dying. She believes that these visions and communication are not just hallucinations or the product of medication, but real glimpses into the afterlife.
Penny recently released her book, "Influencing Death: Reframing Dying for Better Living," where she shares more of these stories and offers a fresh perspective on death and how it can transform the way we live. Her goal is to bring a sense of peace and understanding to those who are facing death, and to help others see death as a natural part of life.
As shocking as these stories may seem, Penny reminds us that death is a natural process and that it can teach us valuable lessons about life. Through her work, she has learned to appreciate each moment and find joy in the little things. And she hopes that by sharing these stories, others can learn from the dying and see death in a different light.
In a society that often shies away from talking about death and avoids facing our own mortality, Penny's work is both eye-opening and thought-provoking. She reminds us that we all must face death at some point, and perhaps embracing it rather than fearing it can help us live our lives more fully.
So next time you hear someone talking about seeing their loved ones in their final days or experiencing a burst of energy before passing away, don't dismiss it as mere hallucinations. Take a moment to listen to their stories and ponder what lies beyond this life. As Penny's patients have shown us, there may be something more waiting for us on the other side.
