After my mom died, I was grief stricken. I loved her deeply. She was a woman of deep faith. Catholic. I remember one night about 3am I couldn't sleep for grief. I went downstairs and had a crisis of faith. I mentally cried out to my mom, like a little girl, begging her to show me a sign that it is all true. That she was with God. I said I knew it was weak and wrong to ask for proof but I needed it. My mom loved white roses and I always associated them with her. We would go every year to put some on my father's grave together. When I see some, I think of her so I asked her to show me some as my sign that what we believe is true. Then I wiped my tears and thought, it's 3 am, where would I see white roses now? I figured I'd probably see some in the grocery store the next day or something and pretend that's mom's sign even though seeing white roses in the store would be pretty commonplace. I went back up to go to bed but went into the bathroom first and switched on the adjoining closet light (something I rarely do when my husband is sleeping) and hanging there, spread widely out over my clothes, was a scarf my daughter must have pulled out earlier that day. Covered with white roses. Coincidence? For non-believers maybe. But I know it was my sign from my mom hearing and answering my cry of doubt and fear and showing me that He is real.
Just before my mom died...she had Alzheimer's diease, she had not spoken a word in 5 years and had to be turned in her bed. She suddenly turned on her own and looked up towards where the ceiling meets the wall and made the wow with her mouth... not in words but with her look of amazement and joy. It was wonderful to see that happen.

Alan Moore wrote an amazing novel called Jerusalem in it a boy dies and floats up to where the walls meet the ceiling which is the place you cross over- where family is waiting for you. It’s a comon historic folk knowledge I think.
It is said that Steve Jobs' last words were, " Wow, wow, wow".
My 90 yr old mother saw her deceased mother in the dining room of the nursing home less than a week before she passed. She told the nurse “my mother’s here. I want to go to her” ❤️❤️❤️ love you Mom always and forever. ❤️❤️❤️
Your experience is quite similar to mine. My mother was in a hospital bed and at dawn she tells me very lucidly: "my mom is here", and as if there were no doubt left, after two seconds she tells me: "and I'm seeing her". The next morning, almost at noon, my mother passed away. I hope that the same for me, your experience will be positive and comforting.

my mothers said few months before she passed that her brother that died many years ago , she said that her brother was going to pic her up
@@rafaelmontane7693 I love that. I did hospice home care for three years and it was my favorite part of my nursing career. many similar stories God bless
my 87 year-old grandmother was "speaking and laughing at the ceiling" for 3 days. my grandpa thought she had lost her marbles. my aunt (her daughter) was the only one who believed my grandma when she said, "it's my mom and the others! They're telling me they're getting things ready for me." She passed peacefully. The cause of death was written as adrenal failure. A very common (and natural) cause in old age. She lived to paint. I inherited her favourite painting and the luttuce candy dish she made back in 79. the same dish she kept those pink chalky mints in. I keep candy in it in memory of her.
My mum nearly died when I was a toddler. She said she climbed up a tunnel towards a light. She kept falling and re-climbing. When she got to the light she stopped and she said she was kindly asked if she wanted to continue or return and if so, give her reason. She said she felt there were people around her who she knew but couldn't see. She said she had to return.... for me! So she got well and, despite having the last rights, stayed with us until she was 84!
WOW AMAZING.. i remember when i was a kid my grandmother told same about a Tunnel she saw there, and someone told to her yet not a time.. so then after exact one month later she died..
Our karma create our new bodies. We are not free to accept any body we want . We are forced to die and forced to accept a body according to our consciousness. Death is just a change of body . We get what we deserve. nothing is by chance.
@@harekrishna108 sometimes. Depends on your spiritual beliefs. Some don’t believe in reincarnation.
@@fullmoon1072 well beliefor opinions may not be so important. If reincarnation is there, then everyone has to reincarnate whether one believes in it or not. And if reincarnation is not a fact then no one is going to reincarnate.
Yay!!
I can’t understand how any other subject in the world could be more interesting than whether our conscious continues after death.
Oggy's place, have you seen the Swedenborg channel, "Off The Left Eye" ? From the sound of it, it may interest you greatly.
It's been known forever that consciousness does not die. There's a patent to even transfer consciousness into computers, as well as into others brains... our brains are biological computers after all.
exactly my thought. you said it perfectly :)
Totally agree with you.
Hey do you think there’s anything like a “soul” ?
When my 93 year old grandmother was dying, my mother visited her. Bertha said to my mom: "Betty...you should have been here! An amazing cat was here and looking at me. It was so beautiful." The next day, she died. Then, many years later, I went to visit my father in a nursing home. He said "You just missed the most amazing thing...a huge and beautiful cat was here and gazing at me." 2 days later he died. Apparently, in our family, you see the cat!
That's great. I hope I see a 🐈
There's a reason the ancient Egyptians believed that cats take souls to/control the afterlife! Cat visions are VERY common in the nearly-dead and dying. Cats are also one of the most common hallucinations/premonitions of death and serious illness. My mom kept talking about seeing but being unable to reach and pet really pretty cats the day before her appendix suddenly went bad and ruptured. She lived, but it was REALLY close. I take it as more reasons to be a cat person! 😊
I'd like to see a dog please.
The dog I lost a few years back, would melt my heart.
@@BoucherRaphael You will. No doubt about it. Whomever you loved and were loved by - human, canine, or feline - will definitely show up to help you cross over and the love you will feel from them will bring you immense joy!

My dad said he could see the light and feel the love... he was lucid to the end ❤️
Dad passed at home in his bed surrounded by love
my dearest condolences, sending you all my love 💖💖
Beautiful 💘
He lied. About the “light” anyways.
@@unapologetic4859 You were there?
My mum dies weeks ago from today. This sent chills up my spine watching this . Both of the clocks stopped 6:52 one day before she died. She described sèing dead relatives just as he explained. And she was preparing long before she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. She would just give her belongings away and was putting everything in place before she went. God I miss her.
Yes--you miss her, Fazil. But you will see her again!
Mann. Lost my moms last year... same responses
Fazil Sultan So sorry for your loss.
I miss my mum terribly as well. It's been 7 years and it's still raw.
Yes, Fazil. I understand. She sounds like she was a good mother. I am glad you were her son, and she was her mother. I am sure, very sure, she was/is proud of you. And send you love all the time.
A few days before my father passed away, I had an unusually vivid dream. My father's deceased brother visited me, I was so happy to see my uncle ! He put his arm around my shoulder and turned me, where he showed me a bright beautiful tunnel of light. I saw my father walking into the tunnel, I looked at my uncle and he was smiling and so happy and comforting. My father passed away about 2 days later.
My niece was killed in an accident years back. A short time after her passing I was standing on our front porch when I saw a balloon floating down the street. It was metallic silver with the words happy birthday emblazoned on it. It proceeded to float right up on our porch and just kind of hung there. I stared at it for a bit in amazement and asked if it wanted in. I opened the front door and it bounced right in. We let it float around the house for about 2 days until it finally deflated. We knew it was my niece Stephanie come to visit. It would have been her 18th birthday. Very true story!
Steve Harris after my ex-wife’s mother died twenty years ago we had a balloon like the one you described in your story all of a sudden come floating in our family room with the words I love you
I was dumbstruck
Yes life begins again after this life on earth
I’m sorry about the loss of your niece
Bahahahahah
Or you know... A random balloon.
@@lbp7693 Er...yeah like I see those random balloons everywhere, they're a real nuisance eh Luis;) And allowing for just a minute that is was like you suggest a "random balloon", what are the odds then that it would come up on my porch on a quiet residential street and on the anniversary of my nieces birthday and when we opened the door it actually floated right in. Absolutely no one touching it! Come on Luis, yes it could be as you say but can you open your mind a bit to other possibilities?
Yes, Lorna Byrne (who sees angels) talks in her book (Angel's in my hair) about how God/lord/ higher power/ whatever you believe in allows loved ones souls to come back after death and comfort loved ones until they are done grieving. In her book, Lorna talks about seeing an old man walking every day next to his grieving daughter (who had no idea he was walking next her) as she grieved his loss from the week before. She has many other stories of this that will leave you amazed at its truth. It's real. It is incredible. You should read the book, it changed my life about life after death!
What a wonderful talk! My father died in January 2020 and I lost my eldest daughter on 8 May 2020, she was only 31, and it was very unexpected. This has given me so much hope! Thank you!
That's a rough year whilst also being in the CV19 pandemic. I hope you find peace and by the sounds of it you'll see them one day. God bless.
@@JamesPond-cd3tp thank you for your kind are caring words and thoughts. 💜
I am sorry for your loss and wish you all the best.
@@jalifritz8033 thank you so much! 💜
It is terrible to loose a child! I lost my dearest daughter 3years ago. And my very ill husband that I cared for, died 4months later. My best friend like a Sister, died few weeks after my husband. I do not know how I survived till now.
My only Rock to cling, to is Jesus Christ. He keeps me afloat. My 2little dogs and 3cats are my best company.
Another story about my mother. After my mom died, we held a ritual on the day that is after 49 days after her death. During the ritual, we would wait for, and welcome her soul back home. it was around midnight, when my sister, me and my mom's younger sister were sitting together, a large, beautiful spider came from outside directly came to us, one by one it stopped at our feet for a second, but when it arrived at my sister's feet. it climbed onto her foot stay for a while and then left. Then again one by one it visited each one of us at our feet, for three times, and finally left us for the cabinet that belong to my mother. At 6:00 in the morning, it left the house went outside. I was amazed and puzzled.
There are two people I love deeply that are in spirit now. One is my grandmother, who was the only one in the family who loved me, and my much-loved nephew who was more like my son than he was his abusive mother's. He was such a good guy, loved by many. I cannot wait to see them both! They enriched my life without a doubt and to lose them was devastating. Especially my nephew, Luke, one of the most loving human beings I've ever known. The night that he died, I was cleaning up after a company party, sweeping the floor and the door was ajar a bit. It was a very still night, no wind to speak of. When the party ended, as I was sweeping up, some leaves gently blew in the door and over my feet and instantly Luke came to mind. I smiled and wondered why I had thought of him just at that moment with the leaves blowing on me, shook my head, smiled and finished the sweeping.
The next morning, I got a very early and tearful phone call from his mother, my sister, to tell me that he had died that night. I was, of course, devastated (still am) but I already knew immediately that he was dead and later I learned that he died at the exact time he went through my mind that night with the soft gust of wind and leaves. _That contact has kept my heart from completely breaking these many, many years and gives me joy to think of him and so appreciative that he "touched me goodbye" as he was leaving this earth._ I'm still heartbroken these many years for him, but I know that wherever he went he is happy and very, very loved. My sweet boy is always going to be the one I hope to see first when my time on earth is finished.
WOW! Beautifully said. I'm an ex-Christian and I can't tell you how incredibly joyful, happy, and focused I am. I know this to be real as real can get or be and I never had a NDE, but...I have lost 6 family and I'm so happy for THEM and I can't wait to join them in my due time. You will also. Thanks for sharing!
That is amazing. I love this ❤️
He's probably with you NOW. Just talk to him. I talk to my mother (who died in 2004) and she brings me hearts. Anything shaped like a heart. It's astonishing how many heart shaped things there are! She has done this for years. At first it was two a day and this went on for a couple of years. When I'm a mess, there are more hearts. It's almost like a joke now. Oh, and ALWAYS something ephemeral, that I can't keep. A tea stain, a patch of oil on the road, lotion as it squirts out of the bottle, a leaf, a bit of yogurt that escapes the spoon, a patch of steam, a photo of an island, a bit of lint ... and on and on. One day, I was sobbing. I looked down at the soggy kleenex in my tight fist and burst out laughing: It had sculpted itself into a PERFECTLY SHAPED HEART. Those we love stay close by.
Your Luke will have his own language with you, Just ask him to show you ... and then listen and watch. Good Luck!
I have lost my grandmother recently... She was my world... Don't know how to deal with it now
Your story is so beautiful, it moved me to tears! I now accept what Mr Fenwick is talking about. I thank you so much for sharing your story. Your nephew is with the Lord. HE will come to take you to be with him. HE knows when will be the best time!
i hope next life would be not as painful as this one....
Kim,,Live a good life, love all and hate none, and the next life will be beyond words. :)
I'm so sorry to hear that you are in pain. Wishing you peace in this life and on.
Live in love and in the now, even this life will be much better and more peaceful!
May your pain ease and the beauty behind the pain ease into content love
It's a rough journey, isn't it. Thank goodness, there is a truly beautiful happy heaven to go to after we finish our journey. 💚💐
I am crying, I am so moved that we have ACTUALLY arrived at the day when we talk about DEATH openly, with much longed for common sense, with humour ... and I cannot understand why this moment has taken so long. It pains me deeply to think of all those who have gone to Death, terrified, because our culture is so backwards when it comes to this subject. This is truly proof that we evolve.
Dear Andrea, I very much agree with your sentiments. ❤️ Allan
@@allangilchrist5938 Thank you for responding!
It is the Wests in particular preoccupation with if I can see it, it exists, if I can't, it doesn't.presumption that any non carnal realm is for idiots, primitives, the les sophisticated/educated etc death is not spoken off because it is exit from this life into the spiritual world that many do not think exist. Add fear of the unknown, plus breakdown of family network and community and death gets hidden away to our individual and collective detriment. We can never be healthy and whole until we stop compartmentalising that which should occupy the centre stage in our life individually and as a society.
@@le2584 Yes. Agreed.
I agree
well I got to the light and went back ,it's 40 years ago this year. Still think about it every day; it was the most profound,deep,loving,beautiful experience of my whole life,it changed everything,I was 18 years old….
Sounds amazing! I’d love to hear your story.
there are thousands of testimonies of this experience, read raymond moody's life after life
Patrick Baele I have, I’m obsessed with ndes. Cheers.
Someone slipped you some lsd
@@gav25x Don't be a goof.
I had an NDE in 2000 and yes this is true. I was sent back by the light, I'd tell my mother and family they said I was out of sort. After watching this I'm spot on! LOVE IT!
Hi Danielle, would you mind sharing your NDE here? I would like to hear it if you don't mind.
Did you meet Jesus?
I found Dr Fenwick's talk even more interesting than the others who have talked about near death experiences because Dr Fenwick mentioned a dog that was seen by a dying man. My dog passed away last year. Dr Fenwick has given me hope that my dog would be there when my time comes.
He also says in another interview here on YT that animal visitations are very rare, it's usually dead relatives.
I too hope to see my many dead animals, more so than humans. I often wonder if you still talk to them ( their spirits), and believe in them, you will see them. If so I would look forward to dying but have living animals still here whom I would not choose to leave yet.
@@cynthiasykes2241 I feel exactly the same Cynthia
@@Floridafanatic28 Maybe for those of us with no human family the dogs come.
@@Doriesep6622 Entirely possible.
another experience: I was present at my oldest sister's death. At the exact moment when she breathed her last, there was a huge crack of thunder above the house...from a clear blue sky. It was stunning and breathtaking.
I’ve lost several close family members in my life, and I had grown to truly despise death, but Peter Fenwick has helped me see death in a much different, more beautiful sort of way. And for the first time ever, death is something I no longer fear.
One of my teachers talked about similar experience as yours

I fear the days to come will be painful for me. Doctor told me yesterday to update my will. My blood sugar is 14. My heart and brains are going to fail soon. Stroke or heart attack will come soon, My blood is like syrup right now. My body isn't getting the fuel to keep my organs working. Not making enough hormone to tell the sugar to feed the rest of my body. I been asking god to help me. He knows how tired I am of this body I'm stuck in. I promised Him that I will Take GOOD CARE OF MY NEW BODY IN HEAVEN. I MISS AND LOVE SO MANY WHO HAVE CROSSED OVER. I LOOK FORWARD TO BEING WITH THEM ALL, AND MEETING JESUS face to face. That will be a good day at last!
@@CarolynDenison Have a beautiful rest of your life.
@@CarolynDenison Hi Carolyn I feel so moved by your story I had to comment, first I would love to ask if you are doing OK 💞🌟 and I can't help what I've to say next , you've not to give in , once your brain is told its going to die it will but deep inside you there's a little voice screaming at you , please do not take this message the wrong way .
I know u are giving up but deep in you its not time . You still have something to do. Maybe its to prove the medical profession wrong . Sorry I don't really know your illness . Excuse my ignorance. 💞. I can see/feel light from you . Stay Golden 🌟
I can't imagine not existing, that who I am won't still exist in some form 100 years from now. I believe that life is a school of learning of which we graduate & continue to learn elsewhere
When I had my two NDEs due to gas leaks, I was an atheist non-English speaking Chinese girl who knew nothing about death or God. All I remember now is a ring of very bright and welcoming light ahead and peace. Before I could see it more closely, I was snapped back into our dimly lit room and even had to adjust my eyes. Later into adulthood I studied a few things about psychology and neuroscience and attributed my NDEs to the tricks of dying or, in my case, oxygen-deprived neurons. But I could not explain how my father felt when his mother was dying in another city. In our culture, death is a taboo word, but two months before he had a fatal stroke, Grandpa talked about it with Grandma. Recently, I don't know why, but I started to study something about NDEs, the 11 dimensions, and quantum biology. As I did so, I was beginning to believe in a totally different, incredible world we can't see. I know this knowledge will come in handy at some point in my life.
At some point in your life ... or an immeasurably brief time thereafter! All the best to you, here and in the realm to come, Jing Hu!
My father had a NDE after a heart attack many years ago. After he got home..after several weeks, he told us that he found himself floating along a path made of white little stones and surrounded by tall trees. He didn't see anyone..he felt quiet and relaxed..happy....he doesn't fear death since then.
My grandfather washed all his clothes, fixed the water tube pipe that's been leaking for a long time, and fixed all there is to be fixed before he was brought to the hospital. He died the next day. Our parents, aunts, uncles, and relatives talk about how he must've known of his nearing death. He's a great speaker and he always talk about putting God first and between in any events of your life. Thank you Dr. Peter Fenwick, I feel so blessed having to learn from you of this strong knowledge. I am never afraid of death, it's a special part of my life that I now accept wholeheartedly. I wish to first be greeted by all of our good ol' dogs we've had and will have my whole life, then to be ushered to my grandparents and relatives.
According to my father, when my grandmother was dying, she repeatedly talked about a shining light in the corner of the house, which my father could not see it.
My grandpa saw his brother (who had passed away 20 years prior), which of course made him so happy. From his side of the conversation we gathered they were going fishing (their favorite activity when both were alive). Grandpa died a few days later. ❤️🙏
One of my friends reported that her grandfather was visited by his deceased wife. When the (living) family members were asking him to do something in particular that day, he said he could not make it because "he had a dinner date with his wife!" She was waiting for him and he was so excited. He passed shortly thereafter.
A few days before my mother’s death, lying in her hospital bed, she said to my 2 sisters and me “Oh, look at that beautiful little girl. Don’t you see her?” I’d like to think that beautiful little girl was an angel. Then, the day before her death, she looked toward the ceiling and said “Just hold your horses! Y’all are always in such a hurry!”. I had a brother and a sister who’d passed away in the 2 years prior to my mother’s death. I firmly believe it was the two of them saying “Come on Mom we’re waiting for you!” 💕🥰
Hello Dear
How are youdoing today?
My grandma has been declining rapidly for about a year. About a year ago, she straight faced, totally straight forward told us that her television and chest of drawers disappeared, and that her closet turned into a long hallway with a bunch of people inside talking to each other. Then 2 of her close friends walked out of the hallway, into her room and told her to start preparing, and that it will be easy, but that she needs to get her personal business(finance etc) in order soon. Thing is, both of these friends have been dead for 20 years.
My grandma has never been loopy or like the crazy old lady. Very down to earth woman and right before she fell asleep for the last time she said that my grandpa had come to get her that he told her” it’s time to go home and stop talking about being old”
What a great speaker! What a lovely man! My mother passed away 18 months ago, at the age of 93. I was with her as she passed - it was such a peaceful event. Her own mother died when she, my mother, was only nine. She was excited about seeing and being with her mother and her father again. I pray that it is so.
i believe your mother is with her mother now in paradise, where decades from now you will be with them at peace. life after death is real, i sincerely hope so, as i'd like to see my friend and my uncles, auntie, grannies and granda's i hope to see my loved ones again, i hope there preparing a big party for me with lots of beer and food and good music, i hope so. what do you think?
John James look there has to be an after life because all this work matter life would be useless well have no purpose. Look you should try meditation and connect with your higher self Ik a lot of people who connect with there higher self and there able to talk with loved ones who have passed or they get visions with them and science can’t explain that it’s impossible so don’t believe the people that saw its all just fake when it isn’t why would people fake NDE when hella people experience it in different ways and different times and different places there has to be life after death there so much proof of there being🙏
@@johnjames5587 I'd like to think and hope you are right. Thanks very much for your comment.
Aww you’re poor mum losing her mum as a child. God bless her
My Mother died when I was 11,I loved her so much,she was sick for two years.I never had children as I didn't want to die on them young.I can't wait to see my Mother.I am now 54 but I lived my Life for both of Us❣️
I did private duty hospice for years…this is all so true! My mom just passed at my home with 2 weeks of these experiences off and on before she passed,
Hello Linda
How are you doing today?
My parents passed away...my mom 3 yrs back...daily she use to say about my father,her father,all death relative coming and talking to her..last breath was taking in my hands...she looked at me without blinking eyes,then looks at window and close her eyes...every sec I remember of that day...staying alone with my pets...life is just passing days...
interestnig story..o
deep respect !
I'm sorry for your loss.
Regarding being in the hospital; “They don’t have time for you. They’re keeping the living alive, so what are you doing there?” Well said. Being at home or in hospice care is something a lot more personal and calming. My Papa is in hospice and the end stages of hospice care right now and I hope beyond hope that after he passes, he gives me some kind of sign that he’s still “somewhere”. What an amazing thing that would be.
Just before my Mom passed she said to my Dad "look my parents are here and your Mom and Dad have just come in. My Mom seemed happy to see them. Years later a week before my Dad passed he said" your Mom keeps pulling the blankets off me" My Mom passed in 2004 and my Dad passed in 2012. So they both "saw" and spoke to people that had passed on years before they did.
Hello Amelia
How are you doing tody?
My mom “dreamed” that my brother was reunited with my sister before the hospital called to say he had passed. It has been a huge comfort to her.
Hello Jackie
How are you doing today?
Another brilliant presentation by Dr Peter Fenwick, one of our champions for the conscious "good death" experience. We will all die one day, sooner or later, and this is a happy preparation. Precious research!
Yes, I agree. Good death has also another meaning for Christians, I mean to be prepared for Salvation. Cause due to the Bible not all will be saved and happily judged, Christian have concept of heaven. So not only room, family around or finishing formal issues, relationships isues etc. but also longer preparation for this ultimate goal Christian have.
Here's what bothers me about NDE's: Dr. Fenwick in another video says that only 4% of people who clinically die have NDE's. The other 96% aren't aware of anything from the time they lose consciousness to the time they are revived. This would suggest to me that only 4% of us overall have evolved to the point we will have some sort of consciousness after death. For the rest of us, from the evidence, our consciousness will simply fade into oblivion and we will be unconscious eternally--in other words, "dead for eternity". Another thing that bothers me: of the 4% who can recall their experiences, most have no control over what they see or what happens to them. Some good people see hellish images, some bad people experience total peace and love. Some don't want to go through the tunnel but are sucked in anyway, others who don't want to go into the tunnel are able to resist and stay on the earthly plane indefinitely. NONE of this follows any sort of logical pattern. We are at the mercy of whatever awaits us, if indeed something does await us after death. That is a scary proposition.
I performed my music at an IANDS convention many years ago in Evanston, Illinois. I sat at a table and spoke with Fenwick for quite a while. He heard me play. Wow did I meet some people there, it was awesome. My experience was in 1994. It turned my life upside down. I wasn't gonna take it. Went thru a divorce. Out of mind, but I knew I couldn't be alone. It took me 7 years to find IANDSs, a lot of people came into my life. NOW.......the whole thing is
kind of boring. Most people don't believe you and think you're crazy. There is no death, the TV station just changes. You are right. PMH Atwater saved my life.
Be my wife!
@@piotrhobbysta5614 I agree. Yet the most still can't see. As the word says, broad is the road...
I don’t believe in anything after death but something did happen once I can’t explain.
My grandfather had passed about 4 weeks before my daughters first birthday.
When my mother came over my son greeted her at the door and when I went to close it he stood there and said, dad don’t leave “great grandfather” outside.
I looked and my son said, “cmon come in” to an empty door way.
My mum lost it and she later explained she’d been driving over and didn’t want to be at a party as my grandfather had just passed but she heard him say (in her head) don’t worry I’ll walk you to the door. Which she thought was weird as it was so specific. Not I’m with you or something like that but specifically I’ll walk you to the door.
And then after my mum walks in my young son looks out the door and says to his great grandfather cmon come in.
It could be all coincidences but it’s a lot of them.
Maybe you should rephrase that to "I don't want to believe in anything after death but..."
"I don’t believe in anything after death" -- maybe it's about time you reconsider and stop being so closed minded.
I didn’t believe in any of this stuff either until my husband passed away very recently. We would walk to the river almost everyday to visit what he coined the ‘Trinity Tree’; a beautiful three trunk tree that spread its branches over the river. There was a day when I walked up and stood at the tree when a guy walked up in a shirt that read in large lettering TRINITY. The odds. But it wasn’t just that sign. There have been multiple signs to let me know he’s okay. He wasn’t a believer in the afterlife, but when I said my goodbye before he passed 5min afterwards, I asked him if he could please send me signs to let kn know he’s okay.
D Rod Just Beautiful what a lovely gift from him and your Savior that you will always know He loved you and will be waiting for you forever.🙏🏼🌹🌹
LYCANSS999 I do.
After my mother died, I went for reiki at the hospice where she had died. The hospice was wonderful, caring for all our family.
The reiki was one of the most spiritual experience I have ever had. I saw my mother, walking along a path, surrounding natural light, blue sky and clouds. She was laughing, healthy, surrounded by many members of my family. It was so reassuring.
What an interesting man. Could listen to him every day. Thank you, Peter. I’m older and looking forward to the “English Garden” waiting for me. ❤️
I just lost my husband and I just want to be with him. Im looking forward to seeing him waiting for me in the English Garden
Intriguing gentleman. At the 17.00 minute mark he talks about the reaction of dogs to experiencing the death of their owner. I can remember, back in the 1970s, our family doctor told us that if he visited a terminally ill patient at home and if there was a pet dog he would always observe the dog's behavior as it could provide quite reliable confirmation that death was quickly approaching.
Yes, I have a friend who told me a detailed story of their dog's behavour when her father was dying.
@@kpzcbttp what was their behavior like ?
Animals are far more intuitive than humans. Our thinking gets in the way of our ability to intuit.
Dogs can smell the approaching decline to death
Maybe the dog can smell the substancies that people produce when they are dying, although I believe in the journey people have in NDEs this is one of the most plausible explanation for the pets case.
Long ago, these experiences were denied or ridiculed; today they are fully accepted. There are various theories, many of which tend to deny the obvious: consciousness is independent and extends beyond the organism through which it expresses itself.
Wonderful exposition by this great man. His words, the warm and calm tone of his voice... everything about him shows sincerity and profound wisdom. Thank you for such an important lesson.
My grandmother passed in hospice and the care was wonderful. I remember her looking at me and calling me by name of a relative of hers. My mom thought she was in dementia but this was moments before she died and I think she was seeing loved ones in the room with her. At moment of quietus I remember a feeling of a presence and something like Mr Fenwick describes like light but ... different emanating from her subtly. it’s nice to hear this research from thanatologists in a time of materialism and it’s high priest Richard Dawkins.
The brain is like a receiver or an interface between our conscious that is eternal and the physical world. In this sense there isn't death because our self survives and goes to a better place. This is a useful concept in n this time of pandemic.
Exactly, death is merely a transition to to a more powerful and loving place.
In 1997 my Nan past away near her 107th birthday. A few days before she past she said to my mother that she was frightened..my Mother asked why? Why are you frightened ? She said that late at night her husband, Fred was coming to her in the doorway of her room. My mother retorted, why would you be afraid of Husband ? Nan replied. He’s coming to tell me not to worry. He said Beth my love, soon we will be together..don’t worry soon Beth..soon.” And he would fade into the dim light of the hallway. This was repeated a few times in the course of a few weeks. Shortly after telling my Mom..she past away. What amazes me is that this was the man she was gifted to find as her one true love. A man she met at 21. Married him in 1911. Despite the their hardships in Great Depression, loosing a daughter at 12 years old from diabetes and scarlet fever, sending two boys off to world wars, despite all the world events that was my history their marriage stayed strong and loyal that lasted over 40 years. They had. 4 children. Upon his death she stayed true to her husbands memory for near 40 years. Their love was so strong that not even death would lessen the loyalty and support for each other. Something is suspect we all long for they had...
An absolut beautiful story of love.
@@jalifritz8033 thank you. She taught me a lot in life. But more importantly she had what we all search for in life. To be unconditional loved, supported and respected

My father waited for me. Came out of a coma, when I arrived from another country. We had some time then passed later that day.
Dear Peter, I admire your naturalistic way of talking about death, making sound like something normal. Thank you
Yes, when I was 18. I’m 44 now, I saw my grandmother. Who had died about 5 years back. I had been in surgery and the doctor had nicked my colon during a procedure that was out patient. I suffered 12 days before I finally died. I only remember bits and pieces of hospitals and different doctors, green vomit. ER’s kept sending me home nothing was done for me. Then I had an existing appointment (the savior) hours live-is what he told my mother. Off to surgery I went. but at time of flatline I saw my grandmother; then saw her at the head of my gurney as I was being rushed in for surgery a fog of light was around her. She was rubbing my hair from my face telling me it’s going to be ok. I know she told me a lot of things, most I could never remember, only I had to come back. It wasn’t my time yet. That’s all I can remember except for the peace and of no pain. I didn’t want to leave.
Mary, was it a colonoscopy you were getting, because I know others that have had the same experience you did as to damage and being sent home from the ER??
Did u have a obe
I was going through a broken hearted time in my middle twenties, I was in turmoil and in my dream my mother who had passed away at 48 to Emphysema when I was 21, I was walking through a busy train station and I heard my Mum from behind me saying " Aren't you speaking to me" I turned around and I saw her, she looked amazing because at the time of her death, she looked frail, she told me that everything was going to be alright and not to worry.
It was the first time I'd dreamt of her since her death, which I took pretty hard and I've heard so many stories of NDE's were they see lost loved ones in thier prime, looking better and healthy.
I know I was dreaming but I felt at that time that my Mum came to comfort me.
Now I'm convinced she did.
I have no fear of death anyway because I'm a born again Christian but at that time in my life I was an athiest.
Knowing you will meet your family members again at the end of this ride negates any fears. I dont welcome death but I certainly have no fears about it whatsoever.
I am a born again Christian too. Much love to you Roy & may you have a blessed live serving God with me
I LOVE Peter Fenwick. He is spreading hope. Thank you.
I did hospice and every person’s death is individual. Also I saw my father crossing over when I had an out of body experience during brain surgery. He was greeting a group of people-one I recognized as his wonderful cousin-gathered on a dirt road on the edge of a beautiful meadow. There was a line of tall trees behind them with green and yellow leaves at the top with bright blue sky. Somewhere over the rainbow!! 🌈

Such a lovely man. He's taken my fear of death away.
My dad told me of his nde Did not want to come back and had no fear of death. He was desperate for me not to fear death. I have no fear of being around death. I hope I meet my end without fear but not too soon.
I didn't want to come back- there's was no sense of guilt or shame that I chose to stay. Obviously, the light being had other ideas- I've often wondered why I was asked if I wanted to stay or go back- I didn't feel my answer indicated any ambivalence- life has been difficult at times, but I've assisted people in various ways and maybe that was the reason...
+Ravens9930 my dad passed recently and I am struggling to believe in afterlife. How are you so sure that there is an afterlife? How do you know what you saw was real and what can you tell me to be at peace after my dad passed away?
Apurva Jain : I felt the need to leave you another comment, even tho it is 6 months later than your initial comment(s). I will give you some bare bones of the only few experiences I have had that give me the PEACE that comes from truly knowing. 1. My mother died a violent death when I was 28 years old. I was 3000 miles away and asleep at 12:30 am my time. I woke up suddenly and sat straight up in bed, heart pounding, feeling frightened. I thought it was because of a bad dream but could not remember one. I had a hard time returning to sleep. Was very tired at work the next day. By that afternoon I received a call....my mother had died. The electric clock had been pulled from her bedside and was stopped at 12:30. The autopsy and a few other things confirmed that was her timeframe of death. I dont know why I did not have a premonition of my father dying... we were very close. I found myself in a heart to heart talk with two friends a few months before this.....I shared with them a horrible feeling that one of my parents would die soon and I didnt know which one because they were both healthy. They have never forgotten that conversation. 2. Another was my Aunt's death: On an early Thanksgiving morning, I woke up to the sound of my Aunt's voice calling my name and saying: "get up....". I looked around and realized my husband was already downstairs making coffee. I was still tired so I started to go back to sleep. Suddenly, clear as a bell, I heard my name followed by an urgent: "Wake up!". The voice was the VERY distinguishable voice of my aunt. I got out of bed, went downstairs, poured coffee and told my husband. About an hour later I received the phone call telling me she had died. 3. My best friend from childhood, a non smoker, had developed lung cancer at age 62. I flew out to visit several times. On what turned out to be our last visit, I stopped by the house on my way to the airport. I went in to her room where all her hospice equipment was. I wasnt sure if she could hear me, but I said a few words and also reminded her that even tho we were mischievous when we were younger, that when she met up with God, remember that she doesnt have to tell Him everything! She smiled, brought her index finger to her lips making the "shhhh" sign. When she had been more awake, I also asked her if she would help me over when it was my time....she said yes...and we laughed. A week later, I was home one morning early and received word my friend died earlier that morning. Then, I was in the bathroom, hurrying my husband along, when suddenly, the large jacuzzi in the bathroom turned itself on....no water....no one touched it.....it turned on spontaneously. I went over and turned it off. I said my friend's name out loud and thanked her.
Those experiences are what I have to share.....But I also know that it will be important for you, concerning your father, to go inside your own heart, and search there for your peace. It will mean remembering, forgiving yourself of anything and everything, forgive also anyone who has hurt you. There, also, relive all the memories and let the tears flow. Then ask the Great Universe, God, Jesus, Angels, Guides....whatever you perceive the Divine Creator....whatever is comfortable to you.....simply ask for help in your sorrow right now. I have asked this for you, myself. it will mean so much more coming from YOU. Take care, my dear. I know things will be better for you. ❤️🔥
@@Tracy-le9fl thank you so much for sharing this with me. It's one year now since my dad passed away. I am living my life but the grief is still deep. And yes, thank you so much for keeping me in your prayers. The world is beautiful because of people like you.
@Amis Amis Thanks for asking. Still struggling with the grief. Trying to deal with it but then I crash again.
My mother was dying and my brother and sister were traveling across three states to get to the hospital. My sister got to the hospital and then my brother arrived. My mom had been sleeping all day, but then she sat up and said, “Good, you’re all here.” Then she smiled, laid her head back on the pillow, and died.
God bless Peter Fenwick, and ALL THOSE who, despite a hostile culture, have made it their business to demystify Death. As Ram Dass said (quoting Ramana Maharshi? ... or Emmanuel?), about Death: "It's perfectly safe." My favourite quote on the subject.
I have had a NDE. and it is all very very true. before I would have laughed at this. I now know we really do have a afterlife. it's all real l promise
what about Christianity and the terrifying hell that so many believe
Jerry Rogers It's not based on any religion on earth, was it? Were people younger versions of them selves or did they preserve their looks at death?
glen allen I don't know about hell but I can honestly say we do go to heaven or a place very much like what the bible would call heaven. I was there it way way beyond wonderful
Jerry Rogers You mean like the stereotypical clouds and angel wings? Frankly I hope I get to enjoy the pleasures of the real world still. Coffee with friends / family etc etc
yes I seen my dead wife and she was young maybe about 25 years old . But the funny thing is that I knew what I looked like as well some how I don't know but I knew I was much younger with long hair like I had it back in the 70s and 80s
I experienced a shift in reality during a car crash. I was fully alert and awake. On the moment of impact i found myself suspended in a bright space. It was nothing there. Just bright empty space. I knew that i am experiencing a terrible car crash at the moment and it is only a matter of time when i will get injured or killed. But i was seeing something else completely... imagine that everything around you vanishes and you are left groundless suspended in the empty space where you are able to see because it's lit up. You could say you are looking at light since it's the only thing to percieve.. i felt comforted by thoughts that i am just fine and will be fine, that everything is ok, prompted to be still and put.. right now it feels i've spent a good amount of time in there, when in reality it was maybe 3 to 4 seconds that the car took to come to a still... overall it was a good pleasent experience... it twisted my understanding of reality completly
Our mom was home cared by us. She was 95, with mixed dementia....and the last week of her life, went from feeling anxious, to becoming almost non verbal. At that point, she kept staring at the ceiling...We took some photos, and my sister climbed gently on the side of the bed. Mom was still speaking a slight bit, so my sister told her, these ceiling visitors were her family members who had gone before. But they had come to stay with her and comfort her. (And bring her Home)...She became visibly calmer... passed in peace, love surrounding, not long after. It took some time for my sister and I to recover physically from the exhaustion of those last weeks with mom. Though we would not have missed it, we still needed time to grieve the loss, and to just rest and, recuperate. About a week after mom died, I was at home, in bed, in the early pre dawn hours. I suddenly was filled with what I can only describe as a 'glow', though my body did not look any different - the feeling was simply extraordinary. I was occupied - is the only word..by this full bodied sense of peace. It was communicated to me that I was dearly loved, and that I would be all right in my own life. Without words, I knew that mom had stepped inside of me.. to briefly, lovingly communicate this to my heart and spirit.
My Nan who I was so close to was on end of life care and suffering from confusion due to infections for weeks, the day before she passed I visited her and she was much more cognitive, she told me her Dad had came to see her ❤️ years before that same Nan lost her husband my grandad and asked for a sign from him that he was still around, she turned on the radio and the song playing was Peg O’ My Heart, my Nan’s name was Peggy
First time i hear someone talking about animals involved in NDE. This testimony seems more real to me because of that. Pets are very very important in human lives and i cannot believe they are not on the other side.
This was great and very enjoyable! I have had experiences, yes plural. Not NDE necessarily but I’ve felt the other side. It truly is unexplainable. WOW!!!
My mother saw both her father and grandfather standing by her bed in a white gown the night they passed away. She also had frequent dreams about my son long before I was pregnant and could describe him the way he looks today. My grandmother is very ill and I was with her today and there were several instances that are described in the video. She spoke of people I couldn't see, she was staring in the distance, said she saw a light and mentioned her mother a few days ago.
This man’s book literally convinced of the afterlife over night. I’m so happy that this information is coming from a scientist rather than one of those awful “mediums.”
What happens when the mediums and the scientists start to sound the same?
this man is brilliant and such a pleasure to listen too
A gentle man with great calmness and wisdom with an important message to impart. In other interviews he describes preparedness, a need for detachment to ensure a peaceful transition etc.
What a fascinating subject and wonderful insight.

liselle sloan: Here....here. A quality statement from a quality-looking gal....MMMMMMMMM!!!!....
I've never had any happiness in this life but I know my true purpose, my kids! This is my only reason for existing: to make sure they live a happy life I never had and to give them the love I've never been shown. I give to them what I was never given myself in order to break the cycle of misery. My wish for all of our future generations is happiness and prosperity
You'll be a good parent Sir !
God bless your family 🙏🏻🕉️❣️
Have Childrens is a happiness, is'n it ?
Hey feel loved it sounds like an amazing parent.
If i ever have children, ill try be a good dad too. Be present, give them confidence, help then navigate life.
Symbols of death need to be changed in order to help one to think differently about death.
i couldn’t agree more!
really that is profoundly a great thought! peace!
I was completely devastated when my grandmother passed away..standing at her coffin crying uncontrollably I heard her saying to me.." Nan...don't cry anymore..I'm here with Grandpa.. now no more crying...I felt such a calm feeling come over me..I actually felt her talking to me within my soul..this was in 1985❤
Dr. Fenwick knows the universal truth we all know and feel deep inside. I thought about this way before I heard of Dr. Fenwick he just put it in words and explained it perfectly. What he's saying is 100% true you don't need science to tell you this because you can FEEL it!
I visited my grandfather in the nursing home two days before he passed. My aunt and uncle saw him the following day and says as they visited he would occasionally close his eyes. At one point, after trying to get his attention, he responded and asked why she had done that.. he told her that he was talking to her mother. His wife of 50 something years who had already passed. That night he went to sleep for the last time and was found in bed dressed, head to toe, in his suit. Which of course he had never done before.. I sometimes wonder what he must of been thinking and feeling as he sat down that night, laced his polished shoes, straighten his tie, perhaps rested his hand for a moment on that bible which lived on his nightstand, worn and chalked full of a lifetime of notes, then finally laid down and closed his eyes for the last time, knowing full well that his time on this earth had come to an end.. a man of truly rare character - bronze medalist, liberator of dachau concentration camp, career veterinarian and a preacher - surely he is with my grandmother in heaven right now.
This has brought me back to god and I am very grateful for it.
Around the time my father died I had a deep feeling of peace in my own garden after a period of weeks of what I can only describe as post natal agitation and weariness. It was a very sweet feeling
I didn't find out about his death for a number of hours.
Probably a coincidence says my modern side.
Love this old fella and his work. Ironically enough his science has provided spiritual people with all they have been missing from traditional religious sources..
“It’s very beautiful over there!” Perhaps we can call “death” something different such “passing on”, “crossing the final border”, “transitioning”, or “going home”. Thank you for your important talk, Pioneer Dr. Peter Fenwick, MD, FRC Psychiatrist. 💕
I am in favour of calling it "going home".
I love the word “transitioning”
My mother in law
was dying of cancer God bless her I was with her in the room in the hospice. She was awake and she said to me their is a lamb chewing grass looking at me. But she said that your cant see him she died two days later
I have my love with me as I comment
He’s a little Jack Russell
I can only hope and pray he’ll be waiting for me when I die or vice versa
I lost my little Yorkie suddenly six months ago
He was the only dog my mom really loved as she’s not a dog person
The other night she told me she was walking up her stairs she felt him brush by her leg walking up the stairs
My moms home was the only home he really knew because after my divorce and my dad had also passed I moved in with her
I then got my Yorkie Teddy for companionship for my Jack Russell as my ex took his buddy
Don y9ou will see your pet again....he will be waiting for you and be so happy to see you. May God Bless!
Don, 2 years ago I lost one of my 2 cats, both strays I took in. The one who died was a sickly female, immune deficiency I believe, I had her 11 years when I had to put her to sleep,,it was very hard on me,, after she passed I was lying in bed awake, and I heard her very distinct Siamese meow coming from next to my side of the bed, as that time often in the morning , 4 am ish she usually needed a lift back up into bed, strange but true. :)
I lost my cat last Christmas, she was a very special animal. It was and still is heard but I know she is in a nice place.
When my father died his clock stopped functioning marking the exact moment of his passing.
A brilliant scientist with an amazingly open mind!
Fascinating..I liked the case where the man's (deceased) dog visited him at the hospice.
i had nde in 1973.. folks weren't talking about such things at that time..kept it to myself for about ten years..then started reading about such nde experineces..then i realized i wasnt alone..
What did u see in ur NDE
Thank YOU HASHEME (KNOWN BY AS GOD TOO), GOD BLESS YOU Dr. Peter Fenwick, and TED Talks!! This should be thought in schools and Universities all around. muchas gracias.
I am in tears…they simply can't stop! Gosh!
Me too.😪
Feel hugged
THANK YOU for your study my hand raised ive seen the light myself and seen my grandma with hospice with the samething seeing past realitives GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME.
Thanks to Dr. Fenwick for a brilliant and entertaining lecture,it seems to me that there is enough evidence to support the idea that consciousness can function independently from the brain,and the posibility of reencarnation becomes more and more likely.......
15 years ago my mother passed away when I was far from her. She was in coma for about 20 days and then passed away. My sisters said she was seeing our passed relatives and talked to them a few days before she went to coma
When my dad was on his death bed (Alzheimers) he would constantly say 'IF ONLY U COULD SEE WHAT I SEE'.
I’ve been fascinated by death since I was small. I always knew there had to be more. I have several friends who’ve had NDEs and they’ve said the same things. I believe our spirits do on go, I don’t know why but it does. I have no fear of death nor do I see it as an escape. We are here for a purpose, the older I get more I understand. The Life review. I think, helps us know what we did and why. And if we’ve completed our “soul work’”. Today I look back in my life and see how and why some things were necessary for my evolution, And how I had to help others. The pain and grief we sometimes have serves. As does our joys.
MC//// You would like the book "Life in the World Unseen", which you can download for free.
@Delia Darling ////// There is so much wrong with the bible. Do you think a loving God is going to suddenly become a sadistic lunatic and torture someone forever. That book has messed up your head..
Thank you so much for this awesome presentation and video!!! I know what I must do now!!!
All parts are real my mother told me that she had a very high fever as a child her heart stopped she described the tunnel and walking towards a bright light she came back obviously.Also my mother and my mother's sister my aunt told me that they both saw their grandmother walking past their house they were confused by it as she was in hospital at the time half an hour after seeing their grandmother they found out that she passed away.
A sterling talk based on observed experiences and facts! Kudos!
What a wonderful man.
Wonderful messages!
Thank U!
What a wonderful gentleman Dr PF is. His information is so uplifting and inspiring.
Days before my Dad died he was talking outloud to his deceased mother!!!!
I still see those candle like lights... and I'm not dying... in fact after I came back I can see a lot of things I'm not supposed to. I would love to have a chat with this man...
Rui Torre what kind of things? Come on don’t hold out on us man
Bro please tell me I needa know more g u can’t leave us hangin like this😂
This happens to some who had NDEs one who can now see the soul in her students.
What if your loved one died suddenly and wasn’t prepared to go, or prepare their minds needed to be in heaven? My brother just passed away 2 weeks ago. I’m sure he wasn’t aware this would happen to him, there was no indication he was ready. He died heart breakingly by a sudden hemoragic stroke, fell off the bed and then struck his head and had another serious bleed and brain swelling. It puts a lump in my throat everytime I think of it. Where is he now? I’m heartbroken and terrified. 😓
Not everyone is born in the same way, not everyone dies in the same.
Not everyone is cognizant or able to see their spirits at their time of death.
Work on letting go of your fears around this.
Heal your broken heart.
Some passings, such as your brothers, are tragic unexpected. But they are a part of their ‘souls contract’. I read a book called Many Minds Many Masters by Brian Weiss which helped explain our life experience, why were are here and our reasons for passing on. Talk to your brother, ask him outloud to come to you in your dreams and talk you through this pain. Feeling better is in your near future!
@@katiedifalco2551 great book, I read it too.
My husband is on hospice and he keeps seeing his brother.
This is such a beautiful heartfelt presentation. Bless this wonderful man. I feel uplifted and empowered to have a good life and a good death.
