THE HUMAN DEATH PROCESS
PHASES OF DYING PROCESS
(N.D.E.)
PHASES OF DYING PROCESS
(SHARE DEATH EXPERIENCES)
ABSTRACT
“The Human Death Process” contains schedule about the dying process,
and those who have been with the dying in their final hours, which help
us to understand that death is a process (End of Life Experiences). The
experiences suggest that we are
looked after throughout the
transition from life to death, and
taken on a journey into love and
light by loved ones who come
back to take us. Other accounts
are from people who have been
emotionally close to someone and
who, unaware that the person
they love is dying, experience a
sudden strong sense of their
presence or an intimation of their death. Rational, scientific explanations
for these experiences are hard to find, and it is almost impossible, in the
face of them, to sustain the current scientific view that our
consciousness is entirely brain-based , and that it is extinguished at the
moment our brain ceases to function (materialism view) . The world is
more highly interconnected and more complex than the simple
mechanical or biochemical model we have followed for so long. The
evidence suggests we are more than brain function, and that something -
soul or spirit or consciousness - will continue in some form or another
for a while at least. We can ensure a "good death" for ourselves and help
those we love achieve it too. "”The Human Death Process) demonstrates
that we can face death with a peaceful and untroubled mind; that death
is not a lonely or a fearful journey, but an intensely hopeful one.

DECALOGUE FOR DOCTORS, NURSES, SANITARIES
AND PSYCHOTHERAPISTS WHEN DEALING WITH
SURVIVORS FROM A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE
(DEONTOLOGICAL CODE OF GOOD MEDICAL PRACTICE)
The doctor of medicine, psychology and neurophysiology Kenneth Ring, one of the world's leading
authorities on the study of near-death experiences (NDE), has developed a hierarchical list of
suggestions for doctors and health personnel dealing with patients who have experienced an NDE
Decalogue
1- Be impartial towards the patient who explains his near death experience.
2 - Pay attention to the impact that the experience produces on the patient and refer to professionals
who are experts in the subject.
3- Be aware of one's attitude towards the near-death experience.
4- Universalize and normalize the experience, that is, let the patient know that he is not alone.
5- During resuscitation or other painful procedures, touch the hand of the patient.
6- Allow the patient to tell his story in his own words; avoid making an interrogation.
7- Let the patient express their emotions and ask questions.
8- Do not threaten, pressure, make jokes in bad taste or use inappropriate language.
9- Agree with the patient how he wants to reveal his near death experience to his relatives, including
the possibility of having a nurse present.
10- Reinforce confidentiality.
11- Avoid explaining or interpreting the meaning of the near-death experience.
12- Be honest.
Advice for Psychotherapists
1- Avoid the assumption that the near-death experience contains symptoms of psychopathology.
2- Provide a safe and impartial environment in which the patient can freely raise those experiences
and emotions that surround his NDE.
3- Avoid projecting the value system itself.
4- Normalize the experience, but without forgetting its uniqueness.
5- Help the patient to integrate his NDE in his daily life.
6- Refer the patient to specialized groups.
