Terminal Lucidity (Sudden Awakenings, Dementia, Alzheimer’s) - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World
Sometimes, near death, a person with dementia will suddenly regain clarity and lucidity and give loved ones a chance to say goodbye. Jimmy Akin and Dom Bettinelli discuss the phenomenon called terminal lucidity, what could cause it, and whether it tells us anything new about the brain, soul, and consciousness.
