While death may look like a loss to the living, the last hours of a dying person may be filled with fullness rather than emptiness.
In the tapestry of life and death, we may begin to see connections to the past that we missed in life.
Just as loving hands greeted us when we were born, so will loving arms embrace us when we die.
In truth, we never die alone.
Finally, the third phenomenon is "Crowded rooms." The dying often talk about seeing a room full of people, as they constantly repeat the word crowded.
These Trips may seem to us to be all about leaving, but for the dying, they may be more about arriving.
In fact, during our loved ones\' last hours, they may often think of their impending death as a transition or journey.
The second shared experience is getting ready for a "trip." The phenomenon of preparing oneself for a journey isn\'t new or unusual.
The first is "visions." As the dying lose sight of this world, some people appear to be looking into the world to come.
