A nurse in a hospice in the United States has reported witnessing miraculous events happening to terminally ill patients, including conversations with the deceased or discussions about the world after death. These supernatural occurrences have challenged her atheistic beliefs.
The nurse, named Hadley Vlahos, shared her unique experiences caring for terminally ill patients on the “End Well” channel on YouTube.
“End Well” is a non-profit organization founded by American physician Shoshana Ungerleider in 2007. The belief held by Ungerleider is that death is not a medical issue, but a human one.
In the program, Vlahos mentioned that one patient told her before passing away that the world after death is beautiful.
Vlahos also recalled the first time she heard a terminally ill patient conversing with deceased loved ones. Although initially skeptical, she said that many patients receiving end-of-life care have mentioned talking to deceased loved ones before passing away.
She described an incident where a terminally ill patient suddenly asked, “Are you those butterflies?” Her gaze shifted immediately from the tablet to the patient’s body, then to the doorway, checking if anyone had entered the room.
She leaned in, touching the patient’s arm and asked, “What do you mean?” The patient replied, “I’m asking about my son, is he one of those butterflies?”
Vlahos then went to the hallway to speak with the patient’s husband. He was in tears as he revealed that their son had passed away years ago during high school, and since then, his wife had been seeing butterflies everywhere.
Vlahos also mentioned the end-of-life situations of other patients. A woman named Sue experienced a sense of relief and comfort when she saw her husband coming to pick her up in her final moments, dispelling her fear of death. Another patient, Edith, who suffered from severe dementia, seemed to communicate with Vlahos and predict future events at the end of her life.
Vlahos expressed that her experience as a hospice nurse has led her to reassess her atheistic beliefs.
She said, “I have only one question – what exactly happened. This does not align with my atheism.”
