Hospice nurse opens up about patients' final hours including 'visions' of dead loved ones

A hospice nurse has shared her experiences of caring for people in the final moments of their lives, claiming some appear to have visits from loved ones who have already passed away.

Penny Smith, 59, claims a number of her patients have reported seeing dead relatives and pets before they themselves pass on, with such occurrences affirming her own belief in the afterlife.

She shares her experiences via TikTok, revealing in one particularly moving video how seeing dead loved ones is a completely normal part of the dying process and can bring patients great comfort.
