Okay. Recognizing people.

I was telling you about a patient that I had who grew up in Germany, but did not speak German for the whole rest of her life. And then at the end, she had some lucidity where she was able to speak German again. So yeah, it's usually recognizing people.

And I hear this all the time from people who follow me too, who will say, you know, that's a beauty of social media is that whenever I do a video talking about this, people get in my comment section and they validate each other with their experiences. And many, many people will say, yes, my grandmother who had Alzheimer's recognized me and told stories about when I was a kid.

And, you know, it's, it's amazing that this happens. And we don't know why, and it's fairly common. There are statistics on that. It's about four out of 10 dying people will have an end of life rally. And there's theories as to why it happens, but we don't test, we don't do tests on people who are dying. We're not gonna draw blood on somebody who's on hospice.

So we don't have tests, but some doctors have surmised that it might be that as their organs are shutting down, they're releasing hormones.

which makes sense because steroids are hormones and steroids can give people a burst of energy so it makes sense that that could be what it is but i also like the idea of not really knowing because i just think there's something magical about the dying process that makes it more tolerable for us to be able to believe that there's something after we die makes it more acceptable and tolerable.

Deathbed visions. Yeah, okay. Absolutely. When I went through nursing school, I learned in chemistry that nothing ever really goes away. It just changes its form, and a lot of times that's into the form of energy. And I believe that... Our spirits live on in the form of energy. So I was a hospice nurse for five years before my dad died.
