Sick And Elderly Seeing And Hearing People Of The Past?


My father-in-law has been very sick for the past few years (he’s had a pacemaker for the past 4 years and has suffered with his kidneys for the past 6 years, he’s also been suffering with diabetes for the past 6 years). His health became much worse this past March when his blood pressure continued to drop and his heart rate increased drastically. That was the first time they had to revive him at least 3 times in that one visit. He wound up being admitted for a month. He has lost the use of his legs since then. Unfortunately, he had an accident when he fell back on his tailbone and suffers with the pain b/c he can’t walk and lays on his back or sits all day. Ever since his March hospitalization, he’s been in and out of the hospital at least 1-2 times a month and has been going to dialysis minimum 3 days a week, sometimes daily. In his most recent visit he was hospitalized for 6 weeks as they found infection in his pancreas and colon and he had to have surgery. He now wears a coloscopy bag. He has lost so much energy and appears to be hallucinating a lot lately. He says he hears voices and sees faces of loved ones who have passed. The other night my sister-in-law found him hanging from the bars of his hospital bed yelling her name; he says he doesn’t remember how he got there. He keeps saying he sees his ex-wife (my husband’s mother) who passed away more than 10 years ago. He also keeps swatting the air as if there are flies around him. (Last year he claimed he heard running through the house and saw a little kid as well as he saw red eyes staring at him; my niece also claimed she saw butterflies that she kept swatting away around the same time that no one else could see) My husband’s family seems to be convinced there are spirits in the house. But, I was wondering if these images and sounds could be affiliated with all the medication he’s on and his lack of sleep in the hospital, not to mention his diet (he’s restricted to baby food until he heals and is able to eat solids again). He’s been sleeping all day since he got released from the hospital this weekend. He’s constantly moaning and struggling to open his eyes, but when you talk to him or try to touch him, he jerks and just moans…doesn’t say anything. Has anyone experienced this with a loved one? Special note: My husband’s family is from the islands and believes in spirits, as they think deceased loved ones are trying to communicate with my father-in-law. I am not saying I necessarily believe this is true or not; I’m just curious if anyone has witnessed what I have described with a loved one before and what your thoughts are. Any insight into what my father-in-law is experiencing would be appreciated? This is a very critical time in my family. I am thankful for your time and thoughts.
