Opening Session: Validating Dreams & Visions of the Dying
Experiences at the end of life, including dreams and visions, testify to our greatest needs: to love and be loved, to be nurtured and feel connected, to be remembered, and forgiven. Although medically ignored, such experiences are near universal experiences often provide comfort and meaning. To date, the research team at Hospice Buffalo has published multiple studies on this topic and documented more than 1,500 end-of-life events, many of which are videotaped.
This session will focus on published research that describes and validates patients dreams and visions at the end of life. Dr. Kerr will explore how these near universal experiences often provide comfort and meaning as well as insight into the life led. The presentation includes videos of patients and families describing the meaningfulness of these powerful end of life experiences.
