Do you Believe when an Elderly Person Reaches Near Death and/or Very Old Age, Many of them Begin to "See" Deceased Loved Ones?

Question

BobbieBoy666 · Accepted Answer

According to medical and psychological research, yes, it is quite common for elderly people nearing death to report seeing or experiencing deceased loved ones, often described as visions or hallucinations, which are considered a normal part of the dying process and can sometimes be a source of comfort for them; however, it's important to remember that these experiences are usually related to physiological changes rather than a supernatural occurrence.
Key points to consider:
Medical explanation:
As people age, changes in brain function can lead to altered perceptions, including visual hallucinations, which can manifest as seeing deceased loved ones when nearing death.
Psychological impact:
These visions can be comforting, providing a sense of connection and reassurance as someone approaches the end of life.
Cultural interpretations:
Different cultures may interpret these experiences through spiritual lenses, viewing them as signs of a transition to the afterlife.

Yes they do see family members that have passed. I was at both my parents bedside when they died. Both of them told me that they can see family members that are deceased.

I remember having a great aunt and she was like 87 and not doing to well and we visited her last sumer and she kept saying she could see her mom when she would look out the window. I hope it made her happy. She passed away back in September. If it made her happy I think it's good.

Yes. It's the brain's way of comforting oneself before it shuts down.

I believe so my mother had dementia Alzheimer's and she got really bad and she would ask me if I had seen her parents or she would ask me where did they go are they coming back do they have a key to the house

My mom was living with my sister and nephew and my nephew caused some problems between all of them he was threatening them so my mom called me and asked me to help her take her to find a place to live and I said yeah well you're not going to live by yourself anywhere so I moved around with me and the hardest job I've ever had to do in my life

But her sister had passed 5 years before they were really close and she would always ask me if I seen her did they go out some place do they have a key to get into the house same with her parents

Then she would tell me about a conversation that they had

The best thing to do is just go along with it and yeah they'll be back soon they all have a key to the house don't worry. But I'm pretty sure that she was seeing them or remembering them. A moment in time for sure

After being around my grandmother in her later years. She would ask if her deceased husband was coming over. Or that she painted the fence today and was tired.
I believe that she was experiencing a movie in her mind. God’s way to entertain her until she was ready to depart this earth.

All they sees is their entire life in a flash. All the family members, friends, people they've met with, all the things they've done. It's common for everyone. re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft

There are things in the universe that we cannot perceive with our senses. Under certain circumstances some have gotten a glimpse of these things. Nothing would surprise me.

Yes, some of it is chalked up to dementia, but dementia doesn't explain the cases where the person is still fully lucid. I've heard stories of dementia patients, becoming very lucid right before death, carrying on full conversations as if they never had dementia.
