Summary:

"The accounts were a product of a survey conducted among various nursing professionals in Louisiana prior to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and in Maryland in 2006"--Introduction. The survey was on the effect of deathbed visions (DBV) on nurses. With a DBV, unlike a Near Death Experience (NDE), death is final. The visions may occur immediately before death or weeks prior.

This book is "a chronicle of the nurses who have been present at the bedside of their dying patients. These patients have seen familiar "people" who have come to help them make their transition. These experiences have left the patients, their families and their nurses with a deep sense of peace."--P. [4] of cover.
