Kelley Clem's Mother Has End-of-Life Vision at 6 a.m., Comforting Hospice Nurse Daughter

1 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 19

Kelley Clem said her dying mother experienced an end-of-life vision that brought comfort in her final moments, an event that deeply affected Clem despite years of hospice work.
Clem had previously seen similar visions in patients, including a 7-year-old boy who suddenly lifted his arms while lying unconscious, but said witnessing it in her own family was still startling.
The account adds to recurring reports from hospice care in which dreams or visions near death are described as calming for patients and relatives.
