Signs of Life – Patricia Thoms - Patricia Thoms has been a hospice / palliative care nurse for twenty years and still works in the field today. She lives in New Jersey with her daughter. "As I look back on all the people who have crossed my path during the past twenty years, I am in awe of the patients who so gracefully shared their most intimate fears and experiences with me. I am also in awe of the nurses who were dedicated to the comfort and healing of those patients in their most vulnerable time and the physicians who were alway willing to teach and learn about the mysteries of living and dying." www.cloonfadpress.com

The forward of Patricia's book "Signs of Life"... is written by Raymond A. Moody, MD, PhD – Author of Life After Life & Life After Loss

“Dying people glimpsing heavenly realms of light just prior to passing away. Medical personnel seeing patients’ spirits leave their bodies at the moment of death. Electric lights or household appliances switching on and off all by themselves in homes where someone has recently died. Birds appearing in some astonishing way that witnesses intuitively link with the recent death of a loved one. Signs from the departed. They sound like incidents from a fantasy novel, yet these real-life occurrences are very familiar to certain helping professionals. Those who work with the terminally ill and their families witness incomprehensible, seemingly miraculous happenings on a regular basis. Still, we are understandably reluctant to discuss such events with a public that is ill-prepared to accept them and who may be harshly judgmental.”
