One Last Hug Before I Go: The Mystery and Meaning of Deathbed Visions
Death is one of life’s greatest mysteries. Over the years, the bestseller lists have contained many works on death-related Betty Eadie’s Embraced by the Light; James Van Praagh’s Talking to Heaven; and Raymond Moodie’s Life After Life, are just a few.
One Last Hug Before I Go is the first book to explore in depth the Deathbed Vision (DBV). Complete with the author’s own encounters and those of over forty other DBV experiencers, this revolutionary work provides research information from the early twentieth century through the present. Included survivors’ detailed accounts of their departed loved one’s visions and final words; the survivors’ mystical experiences and premonitions preceding a loved one’s passing; accounts of seeing the soul leave the body; and after-death communications. These final words and visions from the dying provide a poignant, final farewell hug to loved ones, offering peace of mind and hope for an eventual reunion.
After finishing this fascinating book, readers will come away with a better understanding and acceptance of the process of death and see it as a spiritual adventure, not a sad and fearful ending to life.

October 10, 2012This book is very good, and it can make a person not be so afraid of death because you know that you will see your loved ones who have passed on to the next life in heaven.

Carla Wills-Brandon’s summary of modern deathbed visions and other before-death and at-death phenomena is a wonderfully gripping read.

I know it's a personal choice but I couldn't get past the first part when the woman mentions breastfeeding her 3 year old. She makes a list on all the things that makes her a good mother and includes that as one of them. I could have skipped it but reading that made me hesitant about reading the rest.

"The Mystery and Meaning of Deathbed Visions" - an interesting book about her own experiences and those of others.
One quote I especially likes was "Thus, the Zohar teaches that "at the time of a man's death he is allowed to see his relatives and companions from the other world" (I, 219a). Similarly, "we have learned that when a man's soul departs from him, all his relatives and companions in the other world join in and show it the place of delight. . ." (I, 219a). " This is quoted from "Sever Ha-Zohar (the Book of Splendor), a Jewish mystical writing.
A book I enjoyed reading.
