00:00Doctor reveals what adults and children see when they die.
00:04Death, a timeless mystery, has fascinated us across cultures.
00:09Dr. Christopher Kerr, after 20 years and 1,500 patient interviews,
00:14found that end-of-life experiences are comforting psychological events,
00:18not hallucinations, affecting adults and children differently.
00:25Patients report vivid, intensely real dreams,
00:28often rating them 10 out of 10 in realism.
00:32These experiences follow patterns,
00:34typically involving long-lost loved ones,
00:37making time feel irrelevant.
00:39They're described as unlike ordinary dreams.
00:42These experiences ease fear and resolve unfinished business.
00:46Dr. Kerr notes they bring peace by reconciling the past.
00:51Even distressing visions, seen by 16%,
00:53often lead to acceptance before death.
00:58A dying man had disturbing dreams,
01:02but found peace after apologizing to his daughter,
01:06showing how visions can ease guilt.
01:09A Normandy veteran with lifelong post-traumatic stress disorder
01:12had nightmares that shifted to reliving his discharge,
01:16helping him release guilt and find peace before death.
01:20Children living in the moment don't fully grasp mortality.
01:23Their comforting visions often feature animals or symbolic scenes,
01:28like castles, reflecting safety and cherished bonds.
01:33Unlike adults who see deceased loved ones,
01:35children's visions help them feel secure and loved.
01:39Dr. Kerr's research shows that in our final days,
01:41we reconnect with life's essentials,
01:43find meaning, and continue to grow.
01:46Patients live intensely even while dying,
01:49and their experiences can transform how families understand loss,
01:53shifting it from something final to something life-affirming,
01:57marked by healing, forgiveness, and a sense of homecoming.
