One Foot in Heaven, Journey of a Hospice Nurse, Deathbed Visions with Heidi Barr 

I was diagnosed a year ago Dec13. Pancreatic Cancer stage 4. Also cancer in my lymph nodes & spots on my lungs. My husband of 27 years had COPD very bad. We got on Hospice last March. I asked God to let me take care of my husband. He got worse & passed Aug 21, 2022. And here I am Dec 31st 2022, and Praise God I turned 80 today. My husband was a Christian & I am too. I know he went to Heaven & no longer has to be suffering. I have no idea what God has for me to do? I am seeing signs of my weight is now 81. Stomach size increases. Pain have had for years with arthritis. Gets bad at times. My being wore out more often. In 2019 of July 17th I lost my son of children of 4 of a massive heart attack. The kids lost their dad in 2021 of Leukemia. I have stomach issues everyday. But I praise God everyday for being here. I just thought I would share my journey.

One lady I had on hospice who lost 5 children in a fire. She was near death she told her husband I have to go now the children are at the end of my bed and they are waiting for me

I was a hospice nurse from 1993-2009! What a blessing it was! I am a silent owner of one today! I journaled my patients and oh the amazing things I witnessed!

My grandmother passed under hospice care in Florida. About 14 days into it she hadn’t eaten or had any fluids for that time and was sleeping/comatose for days. Her daughter, my aunt, was sitting with her and my grandmother suddenly said “Barbara!” My aunt was shocked, looked up from her chair and said “Yes, mom?”. She was clear-eyed, looking at her and glowing from the inside out! No other words were spoken by my grandmother. My aunt felt a wave start at the top of her head and go down to her feet. She can only describe it as love and acceptance, forgiveness. My aunt and my grandmother had some rough years over their lifetimes. My aunt was overcome with emotion of all of those feelings and never took her eyes off her mother. My grandmother closed her eyes and took her last breath. Shortly afterwards my aunt was washing her body preparing her for her trip to the coroner’s. My aunt felt her mother’s presence And heard her voice in her head. She asked her daughter where was she going now and my aunt told her she could go anywhere she wanted to. She asked if she could go see her son (my father) and me. My aunt said yes you can go anywhere you want and she felt her leave. At that time I was on the other side of the country in California and I knew my grandmother was dying probably that day and I was trying to stay busy cleaning my house but I was very sad and heavy with mourning, already. I was sitting on the floor and I had taken out all the pictures I had of my grandmother and laid them all across the white carpet and was looking at them, remembering such loving times. My aunt did not know that was what I was doing at that specific time. Shortly afterwards she felt my grandmother again, her presence in the room. She heard my grandmother say tell Bob I love him and tell Charlene “I loved all the pictures and that they were beautiful!” She then asked if she could go search for somebody who had passed on many years ago and my aunt said yes go where your heart leads you. She said my grandmother was giddy with excitement. She felt energy and youthfulness and such happiness from my grandmother’s spirit. My aunt said it was like she was totally free… She was somewhat a negative person and was never super happy when she was alive. What a difference, she said! She left again and didn’t return. All the while my aunt was preparing my grandmother‘s body with dignity and care and said goodbye when they took her body away. She truly was gone. It was such a beautiful experience, my aunt said. She now could understand why hospice workers love their job.

This interview had my attention the entire time. I'm relatively young, I have stage 4 lung cancer and I've been battling a terrible infection in one of my lungs for 4 months now. I went through 19 rounds of chemo, and a year and a half on immunotherapy. Last treatment was in 2019. I was diagnosed in 2017. God worked amazing miracles in my life...I've actually felt guilty for receiving so many miracles. I was blessed so much with 5 new grandbabies during my remission. My cancer has come back, this was amazing to listen to..I'm so worried for my children and grandchildren....I had no idea you could have hospice early? I hope I get an amazing hospice nurse like you. Thanks for this.

My mom had Alzheimer’s and went into afib in April 2019. She started talking about going to Center Point (while pointing her finger at the ceiling) which is where she grew up going to church and the location of the cemetery where both her family and my dad’s family are buried. Since she was an inpatient in a hospital, we met with the hospice doctor to see if we could get her admitted there. That doctor refused, outright, and treated me and my two brothers like we wanted her euthanized. Fast forward to July 2019. My father had fallen head first into a door facing and had suffered a traumatic brain injury. He was transferred to rehab in a nursing home and was later admitted as a resident. As soon as we could, we got my mom into the same nursing home. Since April, her health had rapidly declined, so the nursing home put her on hospice. I didn’t know much about hospice, then, but I knew that what the nursing home considered hospice had much more to do with getting extra money than with the comfort of the resident. After weeks and weeks of trying to negotiate better care for both my mother and my dad, we contacted the representative from a hospital inpatient hospice. She evaluated my mother, and at our insistence, gave her opinion on how long my mom had to live. She estimated two weeks, which I, having been with my mother daily, completely agreed with. My mom was transferred that evening. The very first thing they did was bandage my mother’s feet. Her feet were covered in painful sores that occur when blood circulation decreases. (The nursing home had no idea what those sores were and were oblivious to the amount of pain my mother suffered when moved. ) The next day I met with the hospice physician. I had medical power of attorney and she asked me what meds I wanted my mother given. I told her I wanted her to be as free from pain and anxiety (mom had sun-downers) as possible. Later when I asked for my mother to be catheterized to minimize how much she had to be moved, they did it that day. I sang hymns for her and told her it was ok for her to go. We would take care of dad and we would all be ok. She lasted almost two weeks and drew her last breath when she was alone in her room. That was October 12, 2019, less than six months after we had requested hospice for my mother at that first hospital. My dad passed 6 days later in a hospital ER, of pneumonia, surrounded by his family. By sheer will, of both my dad and my younger brother, my dad was able to attend my mother’s funeral. The last coherent sentence that my mom said while in the nursing home was “Wouldn’t it be great if your dad and I could go together?” They had known each other for over 80 years, had been married 66 years and died 6 days apart. Close enough.

My son was 3 weeks old when he went on hospice. He loved for 4 days and passed peacefully at home in our arms thanks to the hospice nurse who was able to guide us until his last breath.

When my grandma was dying, she had basically been comatose for 6 days. We could wake her up enough to sip water from a straw, but she didn't open her eyes....She would just sip, eyes closed.... Hospice was there. 🙌 Bless y'all ❤️ You're amazing.... Anyway, she hadn't opened her eyes for 6 days, and only slightly woke up to sip water, never opening her eyes....Then out of nowhere, she sat straight up in bed, eyes still closed, reached out with her arms and said "Mama"??? ......"Mama"!!!! First like a question, then a recognition! She was excited! Eyes still closed.....to us....but she was seeing her mama 💜 She smiled ☺️ Eyes still closed..... Smiling, she laid back down. She passed about 8 hours later, having not opened her eyes again.... I was an atheist. It confused me. I remained an atheist for another 15 years until I had a near death experience. I was with my grandma again....and I'm not an atheist anymore. I despise religions, what they've become, but I know truths now. And one truth is that we don't end. We continue. We're just in meat suits right now. Love binds us. I've seen my grandma in her true form, not human form at all, and she's more alive now than this human form allowed! Pure love. Raw love. 💕

I don't know if either of you ladies will ever see my comment but I want you to know each of you have been a blessing to me today...I will soon be getting Hospice for my husband and he will be staying at home with me where he belongs. Many of the things said here have given me hope, strength, and courage...thank you and I joined you in that prayer.

I just lost my Mom on Christmas eve. The facility nurses and the Hospice nurses were so amazing to both her and me. They kept me going so I could be there 100% for my Mom.

Hospice people are angels walking among us. One of my lifelong friends is a Hospice nurse & she has helped us so many times, when things come up & we ask her thoughts. My precious stepmom recently passed in Hospice care & I was so grateful for them. Thank you to everyone at Hospice!

I sensed a darkness, heavy, negative spiritual in passing neighbors house. I shook it off. I tried to reason it away. I couldn't shake it off. I asked my son to call police. The police found my neighbor dead for a couple days, from same time I experienced that negative energy coming from his house. Lesson learned to realize we can sense spiritual atmosphere, follow your conviction (your gut feeling). I wish I had checked on him from that first moment I sensed it.

As a hospice nurse when I had a patient ask if she was dying, I would say, “Yes, you are dying but not today.”

I am a nurse and I feel it was one reason I was here in this earth. I am now working in the operating room for the last 10 years after 20 years on all the different floors and areas of the hospital. I have seen many miracles. Now I can comfort people going into surgery. I enjoy that and God has given me the compassion and love to give them.

I really love Heidi! I have heard her NDE interview on several channels including here. She is such a genuine and beautiful soul and a true follower of Christ in her spirit. The fact that she continues to pray for and show love to the father that contributed to her painful childhood is a testimony to the purity of her forgiving heart! Thank you both for this wonderful discussion! I'm an ex muslim and my muslim mom was in a coma for nearly 3 weeks before she died nearly a year ago and I played the audio Bible and prayed fervently during that time for my precious Mom to have a salvific encounter with Jesus during that time. My still muslim father is in his 90s and this discussion has certainly helped open up my mind/heart more and given me much to be hopeful for and think about as I contemplate the time I have left with him along with preparing emotionally, spiritually and mentally for the inevitable moment when he passes. I pray my Mom welcomes him in to that same lush meadow! 🙏🏼 God bless you both and I can't wait for Heidi's 2nd book to be published! ✨🤍✝️🕊🫶🏼

Thank you for this, I stayed with my brother while he was dying and when I went to get a coffee he passed. I did feel later that he didn't feel he could go while I was in the room and that he let go when I left. You have just confirmed what I felt, thank you.

I live in another country, but if I could have anyone at all to be with me/care for me at the end of my life (I’m 72), Heidi would be my absolute first choice. I think she is, indeed, an Earth Angel, a truly beautiful soul and the light of Jesus and goodness shines from her. Apart from the pain, I have no fear of dying - in fact, without being negative and morbid, I welcome it - as I have suffered all my life with increasingly bad health and much pain. I cannot wait to see my Saviour’s beautiful face and, if the last living human’s face I saw before passing was Heidi’s, I’d be absolutely delighted. God bless you and God bless Heidi. Please tell her what a profound affect she has had on me. Chris 💜✝️🙋‍♀️🤲🇬🇧

Death is a great mystery. I have been near death four times . Plane car crash and twice peritonitis. I've seen the tunnel and the life film . Near death pain is very different to pain in other situations . Although one is in agony there is a spiritual aspect . As the body shuts down the spiritual soul becomes your reality and your true self . I have deep faith in the Lord therefore have no fear .

The ones who have a negative death experience really need PRAYER!!

Heidi what an amazing testimony. I was very ill a week before Christmas I had covid and it turned into pneumonia all during Christmas I was coughing non stop .Eventually my daughter took me to see her doctor where she lived. He actually sent me for an Xray and gave me antibiotics 500mg every 12 hours. You confirmed to me seeing Jesus face was a near death experience. My vision was I was guided to look at the sky where I saw a smal light from the light there was rats if light coming toward me then I saw a small cloud near the tiny light.i then saw Jesus with his hands outstretched the last part of the vision was gazing at Jesus face to face. That just happened over a week ago. Watching your video made me realise I wS having a near death experience but he sent me back to be his hands and feet.Amen

God determines these date of our births, and our deaths! Praying God's will, is always the right prayer!

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview more than I have the ability to express. I share the same first name with Heidi 😀. Incredible similarities. My passion was always babies and geriatric patients. I have the gift to serve. In my younger years I was fascinated and loved babies so much, I wanted to be a midwife, until I had a very difficult pregnancy and micropreemie baby. Working in pediatrics at that time I worked with this amazing RN who also was a birth Doula. This was the first time I heard of this title. Sadly I met her after I gave birth to my baby, (but God has His reasons why these things happen) I had volunteered for years in hospice and had a gift to help those passing. I never had fear and had the ability to bring comfort to the patient and the family. It was a surprising gift that I cherished and thanked God. The thought came to mind that a death Doula is definitely needed in this world. Suddenly a few years after this thought came to me, I started seeing the title actually pop up and happening. I believed so much this is a calling in my life. My last hospice experience was the most extremely painful and emotional experience. My mother in law was on hospice. She was initially e pected to live for sometime on hospice, but within days she declined rapidly. My heart was broken. Her last works breathlessly to me was, "I don't want to go." It broke my heart. Because I loved her so much, I was able to lay in bed next to her to comfort her. I thought I had more time with her. It was the first time I was with someone dying that she was not seeing anyone she loved coming through. I asked her and there was nobody. She wasn't scared she just fought it till the end. She didn't want to leave us. We told her we would all be ok and she could move on to be with Jesus. It was Traumatic for me. It has been two years, but I have not felt that desire to be an EOLD since then. I feel like I failed somewhere and somehow. I wanted her to go peacefully and easily, she didn't. We will see where God leads me. I am thankful to come across this interview. I love this so much and I thank you kindly. God bless you.

Amazing lady who has the true dedication of vocation . Many nurses just do the job no spiritual dimension. God has a special place for nurses like this . We need to cloane her !

Heidi, you are so, so precious. I thank God for you.

Thank you so much for your comments about judgment from family members. That was very hurtful for me when I was judged for praying “Thy will be done” for my husband during his cancer journey.

Oh how I wished we could have had Heidi when my dear brother was in hospice,… I went over and stayed all day until evening with him for three months and was by his side when he passed .He had liver cancer💔He and I were ten months apart, he was January ,1956 and I was the following November, we were a family of six siblings. I’ve lost three siblings and our Momma.💔 Just lost my younger Sister in August four days after her breast flap surgery,she got a pulmonary embolism and passed four days later.💔 It’s so Nice to have people like Heidi ,so loving and caring. ❤️🙏🏻 God Bless you both and thank you Heidi for all you have done for so Many🙏🏻❤️

When my mother passed I wasn't there, but when I did go to my sister's house where she died, I saw a vision of angels coming and going up and down from heaven straight into the room where my mother passed. It was very beautiful and joyful. My 1 1/2 year old niece came and she was running back and forth in front of the couch where my mother passed and was laughing nonstop. When my mother passed, my sister was sitting up in bed in her bedroom with the door open just a wall separating them and she says she never heard anything, even though the tv volume was very low (she had a heart attack). I felt that presence there for many months afterwards. I'm very excited because on 12/12/22 I had a vision at work as I was working of me in Heaven in a big crowd for very happy people in white dresses looking upward and singing very joyfully. I will be going home soon. A couple weeks before my mom passed, I was at work then too and heard beautiful bells ringing, yet none of my co-workers heard anything. I also dreamed the funeral exactly as it happened of my father-in-law one month before he passed from an aneurysm.

I was caregiver for Mom with home hospice. She passed while I went with my daughter to run an errand. We were only gone a short while to pick up a to go order. My niece was in the living room studying for her nurse's aide test. When we returned Mom was warm but not breathing. I felt terrible that she was alone. I wanted to be with her all the way on her journey. She accepted Jesus during a lucid moment while visiting with a coworker in the week or so before. I have wished that I never left her side. Maybe she chose to go at that time. Thank you both for sharing this.

I just watched this interview, and it was incredible. I'm experiencing a health struggle currently, and both nde stories as well as the subject of this interview bring me comfort and give me hope. Thanks to both Julie and Heidi for this amazing interview.

Thank you both so much for sharing.. I am also a palliative nurse and I can attest to these things...🙏❤️

When my father passed he told me on the day that he died while he was sleeping that night he saw heaven and deceived the beautiful colors of flowers and grass and lights. It sounds just like the meadow you described. My mother waited for me to leave the house before she passed. Thank you for the assurance that what they did was natural and Gods plan for them.

Wow!! incredible job. TY🥰😇 I’m only doing hospice for a year now but I’ve been a CNA 20 years

I just lost my father. I pray for you and your daddy. Thank you for your work as a hospice nurse.

My moms been gone now 20 years as of 12/22. She was a woman of strong faith & commitment to Christ throughout my entire life even though she was in a VERY difficult marriage etc - yet while in hospice she suffered greatly until her last breath. I prayed several times a day for the Lord to give her and my brother & sister peace at least at the end to no avail - 20 years later I’m still praying for something - anything . I’ve been watching these NDE all these years hoping to glean from someone else’s positive peaceful experience. It’s weird isn’t it how God gives it to some and not others - hmmm

Thank you very much, Heidi! What you've shared so compassionately is invaluable.

This was awesome

I cried out to Jesus to help me let go of my big and only brother as he is currently in hospice care. My prayers were answered when this video came onto my RU-vid screen. Heidi’s testimony is truly amazing. There’s a song that has lyrics stating that there’s angels among us. I’m a believer that is true. All praise and thanksgiving goes to my Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit for providing Heidi’s testimony.

My sister told me that my dad before passing and when he was no longer speaking and no longer moving in the last two days of his life on earth, suddenly early in the morning, he sat up unaided in bed, with his hands stretched forward in front of him and said: Dad (Papa' in Italian) then laid down once again and with a smile which remained on his face, he passed away. In the last few days of his body shutting down, no speaking nor moving, I saw in an open vision, my grandparents, my dad's parents, standing in the afterlife next to each other and waiting for him, I also so my deceased mother who passed away years earlier, my dad's wife that is, passing as a flash really close to my eyes so that I could only see her face head and shoulders, as she was running in a hurry and she was much younger than when she died, and I was so intrigued and kept asking God why was my mum running? Finally, after a day and a half, the answer came into my spirit saying: your mum was in a faraway place within my city and as soon as she heard that your dad was going to arrive soon, she run from her place and came towards my dad's parents who were already waiting for him. Throughout all this, my sister and my brother were with my dad in his home as they looked after him, and I was here in England, London where I live, experiencing these visions. God is so amazingly good. I am so grateful to Him for allowing me to see my grandparents and my now younger mother. I also had dreams of my mum and my dad on other occasions.

I loved this, thank you

This interview blessed me very much thank you 💖

Beautiful, absolutely incredible testimony of love and healing. ✨❤️

What a most remarkable woman. Many thanks for this profound interview.

Thankyou so much for your lovely sharing. I am a Nurse by profession and have some sad and lovely experiences too. One my Dad had Alzheimers for more than 5 years jn bed n couldn't talk. My Mom was Midwife and shd nursed him day n night till he passed away very peacefully some yrs ago. My Mom just went with the Lord 2 years ago very peacefully too without troubling anyone. But thank and praise God now when ever i dream of Mom my Dad is always with her and most amazing he is always talking!! To me n us. I thank God that he is showing me that they are together again and both are healthy and well no more sickness n pain. Thankyou my Nurse Sisters. Keep yr vision. Fr a Nurse in far away NE India.

I came up on this and it brought me much joy and peace

There’s only1 word for this… BEAUTIFUL

Such a good interview

This was so amazing! I’m going to have to watch her nde testimony. What a beautiful soul u are Heidi❤️ thank you ladies for a wonderful experience 🙏🏼

Thank you Heidi, you are truly heaven sent🤗💞🙏.

Absolutely beautiful sharing THANKYOU BOTH for sharing ❤️🎁🎁❤️❤️🌈💝🙏

Heidi what a beautiful person you are and what a gift you gave to so many as they gave back to you! What a gracious host!

Beautiful explanation 💜HVing the opportunity to be with a loved one when they transition can be a true blessing for those who are given the opportunity to share this🌻😊

I read her book, glad you addressed the name thing. She’s a great writer and obviously an awesome nurse. Thank you for another fantastic podcast!

Thanks so much to both of you, I really appreciate these stories and insights!

She is awesome

This was sweet. Appreciated you posting this and loved your expressions of compassion and Heidi's amazing experiences. Thank-you.

Heidi is such a beautiful soul. I loved hearing her story and want to read her books. God bless her🙏

Thank you for all you have done and Do. You are so Beautiful and those folks were so Blessed to be in your loving care with No judgement. Your A STAR🎉❤

It was so so beautiful I had a friend that passed away on October and I had a very amazing experience with him that I would love to share with you and people ❤🙏

Wow….what a beautiful person. We all need to strive and be all loving like she is. ❤️❤️❤️

I lost my grandmother 3 weeks ago today. She was on hospice care exactly 1 month and 2 days. I visited her frequently and saw a decline every time and knew her time was really close. The night before she passed, she fell and hit her head on the corner of her dresser. It was then I knew she wouldn't make it through the weekend. My sister and I were there with her. I have guilt., we both do. I had just went down the road to my house and was coming back to stay the night. The second I drove up to my house, my sister called telling me to come back NOW. I knew who was calling me and why before I looked at my phone to see who it was. I sped back over, she was losing consciousness. I suspect she had a stroke from the fall. We called her hospice nurse and we stared her hourly morphine. I take comfort in knowing I was there in her last moments, providing comfort, kindness, love, and dignity. It was the most spiritual moment I have ever experienced.

You're a million times braver than my doctor!! You're a hero ❤️

Awesome testimonials and Heidi has such a beautiful humble nature in tackling so many situations without discrimination and judging others but just focusing on her caring and helping the people before their passing, showing them love. The Scriptures tell us that we can do miracles, signs, and wonders, but if we do not have love we are like noisy cymbals. He told us that the greatest gift of all is love and for us to love one another as He has loved us. He still does and always will.

One man I had on hospice was in and out in the dying process and woke up and told his son i see doors down a hall should open a door his son said Yes dad go ahead then the father went back in a semi coma and did it again . That was the first time in 15 yrs of hospice the pt saw doors

I too am a Hospice Nurse also. Its definatly a special calling.

My 84yo Dad lay quietly dying, his faded watery old blue eyes closed, suddenly at his last breath his eyes opened and they had turned brilliant sky blue, a colour I've never seen before so vibrant deep beautiful, he weakly lifted his arm and pointed past me to empty corner of room, exhaled and died, his eyes returned to faded old colour. My sister saw this too, I wasnt imagining it.

My mum was in hospice care at home. The night nurse was just coming to the end of her shift and went to talk to my sister who had just arrived. Mum was ok when the nurse left the room but when she returned to the room with my sister after a brief chat in the hallway mum had passed. It did seem she had waited for the nurse to leave the room and my sister to arrive before she departed.

Thank you for sharing! The continuation of life is REAL indeed.. We have nothing to fear...The Light and Love of Jesus is with us all and also our loved ones too.

I really loved this video and hearing about these experiences from Christians because our worldview is radically different than unbelievers. Seeing heaven, angels, loved ones, reaching out and up, etc., with joy on their face. We know what that's all about! Are you able as Hospice nurses to share the gospel with people in Hospice who don't know the Lord? Have you experienced unbelievers having the opposite and horrible experiences of facing hell?

This was an incredible interview.. as was the interview previously recorded of Heidi's NDE! It has always bothered me that I was out of the room when my father died. I was taking my turn sleeping in his room with him and when I woke that morning, I lovingly checked to see if he was still breathing/alive, and finding him with no change, I quickly went to the bathroom but when I returned, he was gone. Now I am feeling SO much better knowing that was HIS choice and was only waiting until I went out of the room.. Thank you! Please.. when is Heidi's next book coming out that is about her NDE unedited??

This brought me to tears. I once took care of a dying homeless man in a cold cellar that someone had opened up to a stranger. In those times people with HIV were treated like pariahs. At least he died sheltered and not on the street.

bonjournice to meet you- mate- Omg~ you made stunning vlog~take care,

My maternal grandfather died in a “changing the guard” situation. He told my mother and aunt that he needed to go to the bathroom and asked them to leave the room. As soon as they left the room he died.

I can’t tell you how Heidi has touched my heart and soul. What a beautiful human being! She restores my faith in what people can be when they are touched by God. ❤❤❤

I was a caregiver, over 20 years, now I just retired. But working with Hospice, memory care Assistant Living, training caregiver for working with Residents. I had experience so many death experience, holding residents dying in my arms. Preparing them for Knowing Jesus before they leave this world. Story after story . Loved and I new it was a God gift job. Yes it's not for everyone but such a Blessing job. I always told my bosses God gave me this Job.

Fantastic interview, it shows how faith in Jesus and God can change one's life for the good.

Healthcare workers are angels ❤

I too feel Hospice nursing is a calling

Thank you again Julie and Heidi for this wonderful testimony!

Yes, my maternal grandfather told my grandmother while in there hospital, "Don't be gone long, she won't want to take you too". My grandmother was going down to get coffee. They, my grandmother and mother, got on the elevator and he passed

Oh what you have witnessed! I’m getting your book!

I love her , she is genuine

I heard the earlier podcast where Heidi talked about her near death experience. I was so glad to hear that you were doing this one so I immediately googled it. I noticed that she had said that Jewish people were the hardest to talk to about death because they would rather suffer endlessly than die. SHE had said that many Jewish people are agnostic which I have noticed on the web. Certain people I follow who are Jewish say that or identify as atheist. I feel that by side stepping the religion/God question, they missing out in more ways than . Heidi said the grass even knows that God is there and praises God with every sway in the breeze and every nod to the Sun or the Moon. I have known this for some time-- not from a near-death experience-- but several times, time just sort of stopped --and there's no reason for it to do that --but it just did. I was in nature and at that time I understood nature as if I were part of nature in the same sense as grass is rather than as most human beings exist which is estranged from nature, divorced from nature and estranged from God, even if they might evoke his name. In all events,I'll try to get her book. I would love to know if I have understood her correctly. I found her to be such a fascinating person and so full of love that I so enjoyed her previous podcast. I too when I lived in California in the Los Angeles area went to three different denominations. I went to the Catholic denomination which was being held in a huge tent-- like you would have for a circus --because they were having construction done on the building; and for me it was actually wonderful being in that tent with the congregation. THEN later in the week I went to an Episcopal Church in Beverly hills which I also enjoyed as the minister was female which would never occur in a Catholic Church. AND then I went to a Jews for Christ and learned that there is the Messianic one and there was the one that is not Messianic which was this one. THEY simply are Jews who believe in Christ which sounds to me is what Heidi is. BUT it seems she sort of has the best of both worlds because she takes the Jewish faith in its strongest form which is orthodoxy and goes to the Temple and then she goes to the Christian church which has the strongest form which is evangelism. Those were great days when I went to all those places of my worship. I would be curious-- because she has spanned two of the three monotheistic faiths-- WHAT she thinks of the Muslim faith? WHAT she thinks of Israel and Palestine? AND WHAT she thinks of the relationship of those two peoples on that sacred land? I have been to Jerusalem. I have been to Israel & Palestine but during a time when the wars there were not so great. Although she does not want to be a pastor or a rabbi in the non Orthodox Judaism, I think if she continues to write she could maybe be a very uniquely placed to unite the three monotheistic religions and be a liaison for all three-- just as in the hospice she's a liaison between life and death for those people who are passing their last days of life in a hospice. I have no fear of death but I'm really not ready right now and I'm really curious if you could ask Heidi to talk about covid and the disease and the vaccine that causes so many deaths. They're saying perhaps more deaths & permanent damage is from vax than covid. WHAT does she think of all that's occurred in the grand scheme of things, including the shut down of all places of worship. Also did her children identify as Jews or Jewish Christians or agnostics or atheists? Just curious. THANKS

My dad passed when I was out of the room. I felt so guilty. Then I heard that was common. It may have been his choice

Hello thank you so much. God knows I needed this.🙏

I have to get her book.

I just love Jesus and you guys.

This has been an excellent interview. I loved Heidi's stories. The wisdom, comfort, peace and kindness of Jesus shone through. I've worked in mental health for many years and have been blessed and honoured to meet some wonderful people. To have opportunities to help people on God's journey, is a blessing and a privilege. God is very Gracious and Merciful. Thank you for these beautiful intimate insights into this really important part of all our lives. Blessings and kindest regards David from Australia 🌏 🙄☝️

Love you guys so much h and may God bless you continuously.💞😍🙏

My dad was on hospice and before he passed he opened his eyes they were glassy looking and he looked up at ceiling and then he raised his arm up, when he laid it down he died. I often wondered what he was seeing

my dad was in hosp where he was awake but his kidneys n heart got woese so they sent him home on hispice. from the minute he got home he was unconcious... never opened eyes never woke up.. so they basically sent him home when he was already gone just waiting for his body to take last breath....

Heidi exemplifies love, compassion and wisdom in this interview, and her faith is joyous not humour-less and rigid. Same for the sweet lady who interviews her. I was blessed to hear it; thanks to you both.

I would love having a private conversation with this nurse and compare our hospice stories.

They are Awsome souls when God made them He put xtra love in there blood to deal with dying and living 😢😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amen! Thank you.

I was admitting a pt and as I was asking questions I could count the bed bugs moving on his sheets

💔❣🙏

my mom saw people maybe 2 months,,,,,,big time 2 weeks, some spirits that bothered her in the hospital were not good ones,,,,,,,,,at all, but near to her crossing, her dad and mom and one bro came and would not let her cross the bridge til it was time*,,,,,,,,much went on and much was hard,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I should got counseling, it was hard, but,,,,,,,,im dying and hoping JESUS will show up as im mad at him, got so many probs while dying,,,,,,,,cannot even just get peace, might kill myself, if i can find some doable way, have prayed for healing and any prayer he answered i would document, but he has not answered any,,,,,,,,,HE DID ANSWER ONE PRAYER FOR ME TODAY,,,,,,,,I am grateful, so I told him when he answers one, i will say hugs to all

Much respect to you! I had no idea all of the experiences of Hospice.. you are an amazing soul! THANK GOD for you & what you've given your patients, a true Blessing 💗 I would want you over anyone if I were to transition~

Many people need to be alone when they make their final journey

Heidi is right that it is ultimately up to that person about what choice they make (God in heaven or Satan in hell), but when she encountered that woman who had had a stroke and the woman was literally running from some unseen thing, this woman was seeing a demonic being. As believers in Jesus, we have authority in His Jesus' name to tell those entities to go and they have to obey. If Heidi had told that entity(ies) to leave, they would have had to go, BUT she is totally right that it is ultimately up to that woman to have chosen what she wanted: God or not God. Say, if a person is possessed by an evil spirit, they must choose to be free. We can't make a demonic spirit leave if the person wants it there. Each of us has authority over our own person. Luke 10:19-20 shows us that Jesus said to believers in Him: "I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. But don't rejoice because =evil spirits obey you=; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven." Anyway, I enjoy hearing Heidi's insights!
