Death appears to be a process rather than a single event in time
and may be heralded by deathbed phenomena such as visions that
comfort the dying and help to prepare them for death. On behalf of
prominent neuropsychiatric Peter Fenwick, Ineke Koedam, an
experienced hospice worker, researched these 'end-of-life-
experiences'. She interviewed fellow hospice workers in various
hospices and bundled their experiences together in this unique
book. A dying man who clearly sees his deceased wife and even can
talk with her. A dying woman, confused and hardly responsive, who
experiences a bright moment when she sees her old friend.
End-of-life experiences are -without exception - miraculous. In The
Light of Death the author shows that these moments are significant
and essential for the dying themselves, their families and
caregivers. Koedam believes they indicate a transition to another
form of existence. We do not exactly know what the dying are going
through internally, however Koedam's research demonstrates that
devoted and open minded spiritual care is very important. By
developing more openness and understanding for these personal
end-of-life experiences, there will be room for the needs of the
dying. This allows us to support them even better in the process of
acceptance and surrender. In the light of death is informative,
comforting and helpful at a time when many people are afraid of
dying. "I am convinced that this book will make a huge contribution
to the acknowledgement and recognition of end-of-life experiences,
which can diminish the fear of death even in its final stages." -
Pim van Lommel, cardiologist, author of Consciousness Beyond Life:
The Science of Near-Death Experience.
