Life Beyond Death I Prep Materials

Pre Week 2

Topic: Pre-Death Premonitions and Deathbed Visions

I hope you enjoyed our first meeting.

This week we'll be addressing End-of-Life Phenomena with a focus on Pre-Death Premonitions and Pre-Death Visions (Deathbed Visions).

You have a few choices for how to prepare:

I have provided reading materials and YouTube videos for each of our featured experts. I suggest you watch the recommended YouTube videos for each individual first and then if you wish to dive deeper, you may consider the reading.  Alternatively, you may dive directly into the reading materials which are more comprehensive. If you are only able to review one or two resources then I would suggest viewing the Dr. Chris Kerr TEDx talk and then the Dr. Peter Fenwick interview. I have provided an introduction to each expert below.

• David Kessler is a leading authority in end of life and hospice care in the United States. He trained with the renowned Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. The many anecdotal stories in his book can be redundant, so read as much as you need to in order to comprehend these pre-death visions.
• Chris Kerr, MD is the Chief Medical Officer at The Center for Hospice and Palliative Care in Buffalo, NY.  His recent research on patients’ dreams and visions at the end of life has highlighted both the high frequency and the profound meaning of these experiences for patients and their loved ones.
• Peter Fenwick, MD is a leading authority in Europe as a researcher and medical doctor exploring pre-death phenomena. He often collaborates with his wife, Elizabeth Fenwick, who is a nurse. Their work details a variety of remarkable end-of-life phenomena, and explores what these experiences say about consciousness. He offers sage suggestions for a "good death." 

I look forward to exploring deathbed visions with you all next Thursday.
