They don't verbalize it, but I don't think that means that they don't see them. Sometimes they're reticent to talk about it because they're afraid that we're going to think they've lost their marbles or they're dismissed by their family who says, we need medication. They're hallucinating. We don't consider deathbed visions hallucinations at all. These are not hallucinations.

But when people get closer to the end of life, when they're going through this kind of transitioning phase where they're really more dying than they are living, they're kind of turning the corner and heading down that path to where they're going to be actively dying within the next couple of weeks or so. Oftentimes, they're confused and they're not coherent.

They're not able to communicate, but they'll be reaching into the air. And we don't know why they do this. Sometimes we call it reaching for heaven, picking stars. There's also all different terms for it.

But I've come to believe after witnessing so many people deathbed visioning that they are reaching for those visions that they see because so often they are in the corner of the room, they're up in the air. And so I really think that's what's going on.

They don't really describe the form. And we don't press them for answers either. It's kind of like it's their experience. And so we don't... ask a whole lot of questions. I did ask one patient who told me that his wife was in the corner. Well, I was working at the nurse's station and his room was next to the nurse's station and he was yelling.
