The hospital sent my father home. He could not be helped as his organs were failing. The standard procedure is sedation with morphine at a level not quite high enough to kill. He had that “morphine mask” - eyes and mouth wide open and the fear he was experiencing was palpable. He was with us for two days in that state. When he died, and this is going to sound strange, on the following day he spoke to me as I was just about to leave for his wake. Here is what he said... “Please stay with me just for a little while. I am confused and alone. You can’t sleep here. Just stay with me.“ From this I surmised that when we die in a drug induced state it disturbs the breaking away process. It makes it harder for the soul to leave the physical body and understand what has happened. I got the sense he wasn’t sure if he was actually dead or still experiencing the strange effects of the suspended space the drugs had created. Later, through a series of visions/visits I had with him I know that he found his way.
thank you for this, it's very important that we connect on this issue and not succumb to disposable persons who are helpless and failing and deem their dignity and value to be less than human. Death comes for all, gay straight, rich, poor, Nationalist, Anti-Nationalist, Ukrainian or Russian, embryo or 100 year old, Hindu or Muslim. Grateful for your closure and shalom granted to your soul
