Scientists began studying what happens to the brain just before death and during death, hoping to find answers to the mystery surrounding this process.
And earlier this year, according to neuroscientists, the brain of a dying 87-year-old man showed rhythmic brain wave patterns similar to those seen during dreaming, memory retrieval, and meditation.
Palliative care specialist Dr. Simran Malhotra, a triple-board certified American physician who received the title of “Top Doc” for palliative medicine from the Baltimore Journal in 2019 and 2020, says this study found evidence that the brain it can remain active and coordinated after a person dies. , remember vivid events and memories of a person’s life.
Dr. Malhotra explained that when a person is dying and before death, he feels and feels everyone around him, even if he is unable to respond.
For this reason, the American doctor suggests that friends and family only talk about the things they want the person to know before they die, even if they are no longer able to interact.
She noted that knowing about the dying person that a loved one can still hear them can provide a source of comfort when preparing to die and can be an intimate time when the individual can share their feelings and thoughts with the person they love, continuing : “Also encourage them to hold hands and tell them about their presence and other things.” meaning (sorry, please forgive me, love you and thank you) “.
Although the thought of death can be terrifying to even the bravest of us, Dr. Malhotra shares the number of her patients who feel especially comforted in the form of end-of-life dreams and visions, also called “ELDV”.
“Most of my patients have had similar experiences in which they have had comfortable visits and conversations with deceased loved ones (family, friends and pets), saying, ‘Other unique experiences I have heard from patients have been perceiving a loved one. in the room, calling the names of their deceased loved ones, or telling you that someone is calling them, seeing bright lights or just feeling at peace, ”Dr. Malhotra noticed similar patterns in her patients and began to recognize these visions as a sign of what was to come.
Note that some view ELDVs as spiritual experiences, but healthcare professionals sometimes feel ill-equipped to deal with them when introducing themselves to a patient. For this reason, they may misdiagnose these visions as delirium, while ELDVs are hallucinations in the strict sense.
She said: “I constantly remind myself that not everything in this wonderful life needs a medical reason or explanation, every time I try this gift from a patient or loved one, it reinforces this belief in me that there isn’t. goodbye, just ‘see you later’. “
