Summary

Famous last words are not always as glamorous as they seem, but Hollywood and historians sometimes take liberties with a well-known person's final utterance by making death a dramatic experience. When people die, their bodies slowly shut down, one system at a time, eventually halting the mechanisms that facilitate speech. By the time they experience delirium, many are also robbed of their ability to speak. Some doctors have stated that even after a patient is beyond saving or declared dead, the brain may still be able to register acts of love and kindness, as well as the heartfelt goodbyes given at the time. Listen to Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis M-F from 7-10 pm, pacific time on groundzeroplus.com. Call in to the LIVE show at 503-225-0860. #groundzeroplus #clydelewis #NDE #lastwords #doula #death
