Abstract
In dying patients, Deathbed Visions (DBVs) can be sightings of apparitions such as deceased family members and religious figures (Ethier, 2005). Evidence suggests that DBVs provide a sense of comfort to the dying as well as acceptance of death among patients and family members (Fenwick et al., 2009).
