Dr. Christopher Kerr, a physician specializing in end-of-life care, has witnessed the deaths of over 1,500 patients, including children. He notes that the experience of dying differs significantly between adults and children.
Adults often see deceased loved ones at the moment of death, describing their arrival as a welcoming presence. Those who have lived with regret confront their past actions and sometimes express a desire for forgiveness.
In contrast, Dr. Kerr explains that children's experiences are markedly different due to their lack of a life filled with fear and anxiety. Young children do not fully comprehend that death is final, making it difficult for them to grasp their situation.
Since these children are often too young to have lost anyone close, they do not see familiar faces in their visions. However, because of their creativity and imagination, they might envision their pets by their side, feeling less alone. They may even dream up scenarios featuring things they love.
Dr. Kerr shares the story of a poor little girl who, in her final moments, created a small castle in her imaginative mind, complete with a pool, various animals, and a beautiful piano. This castle had a window through which warm sunlight streamed. When Dr. Kerr asked her what this castle was like, she replied in her last moments, 'A safe place.'
