Series 3, Episode 6: Death is But a Dream with Dr Christopher Kerr

Who will you see as you approach the final exit? Dreams and visions at the end of life are significant and unique, according to research done at Hospice and Palliative Care Buffalo, USA. These end-of-life experiences (ELE'S) include images and experiences of those we loved who have died before us, be they parents, partners or pets. They may also be opportunities to confront and release old trauma. Dave had the opportunity for a short interview with Dr Christopher Kerr, CEO and Chief Medical Officer at the Hospice, physician, researcher and author of Death is But a Dream, the book based on his and his team's research on end-of-life dreams and visions. This episode includes the interview, and Laura and Dave's discussion of the interview and the implications of the research. -- Your dreams are significant and unique, too!
