A hospice volunteer with 34,000 bedside hours and 48 years of experience explains why everyone will eventually become a caregiver, and why knowing how to help someone die well matters more than debating whether near-death experiences are real.
this near-death experience for the person that thinks you're either delusional or you're making it up. And I know that you've heard that, I'm sure, countless times. What do you say to that person? And do you even care about convincing them?
Well, why would I be telling this? Because everybody's going to be a frickin' caregiver. Everybody, based on where medicine is and where life is and the war that's going on in healthcare, you're going to be a caregiver. And if you don't have sufficient information and knowledge to make the right decisions for somebody you love and somebody who loves you, Then you can think whatever you want, but I can get up from the dead with no chance to survive. How many times you've been dead? How many people have you died with? I have 34,000 hours at the bedside in the VA system and then spending the last 48 years as a hospice volunteer is the dramatic point I'm trying to make why people should listen to me and what my life went from, from being a Marine. Now, instead of sending them there, I'm helping them cross. Everybody makes their choices in their life, Hal Elrod, why they live and what they live and what value they place on their life. I'm not a judger of that or any of that.
My job is to be there to be with you as you structure leaving this world.
