Christopher Kerr, MD, PhD, is the Chief Medical Officer and Chief Executive Officer for Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo. Alongside direct patient care, Dr. Kerr’s focus is in the areas of leadership and patient advocacy. He has overseen the integration and expansion of palliative care into hospitals and developed a large home-based program for both adults and children and has published on innovative program models that are designed to better align patient/family services to the complexity of needs inherent to advanced illness.

Dr. Kerr’s background in research has evolved from bench science toward the human experience of illness as witnessed from the bedside, specifically patients’ dreams and visions at the end of life. Although medically ignored, these near-universal experiences often provide comfort and meaning, as well as insight into the life led and the death anticipated. To date, the research team at Hospice & Palliative Care Buffalo has published multiple studies on this topic and documented over 1,500 end-of-life events, many of which are videotaped.

Dr. Kerr’s work was published in a recent book called Death Is but a Dream: Finding Hope and Meaning at Life's End.

Christopher Kerr is a hospice doctor. All of his patients die. Yet, he has cared for thousands of patients who, in the face of death, speak of love and grace. Beyond the physical realities of dying are unseen processes that are remarkably life-affirming. These include dreams that are unlike any regular dream. Described as "more real than real", these end-of-life experiences resurrect past relationships, meaningful events, and themes of love and forgiveness; they restore life's meaning and mark the transition from distress to comfort and acceptance.

Drawing on interviews with over 1,400 patients and more than a decade of quantified data, Dr. Kerr reveals that pre-death dreams and visions are extraordinary occurrences that humanize the dying process. He shares how his patients' stories point to death as not solely about the end of life, but as the final chapter of humanity's transcendence. Kerr's audiobook also illuminates the benefits of these phenomena for the bereaved, who find solace in seeing their loved ones pass with a sense of calm closure.

Beautifully written, with astonishing real-life characters and stories, this audiobook is at its heart a celebration of our power to reclaim the dying process as a deeply meaningful one. Death Is but a Dream is an important contribution to our understanding of medicine's and humanity's greatest mystery.

Please enjoy my conversation with Dr. Christopher Kerr.

Listen to this bring back so many memories.
My mother passed away with stomach cancer in 2004.
In that time, she totally rejected me, I haven't seen or spoken to her in over 10 years.
I had this feeling about a week before her passing that I had to get in contact with her.
By chance, I found out she was in hospice.
I visited her on the 24th of December, seeing her the first time in many years, already in a coma.
It broke my heart.
I gave her a bedbath and washed the few hair she still had, put body lotion on her, cleaned her face, put nice cream on her, just talking to her about my childhood years. And the happy moments we had.
A tear dropped down her face, and at that moment, I realized she was sorry for all the hardship she caused.
3 hours later, she passed away.
I believe she was waiting for me.
Although she was already in a coma, my mother knew I was there.
And the tear drop spoke a thousand words❤

When my brother Tom died I was in his bed lying on my side next to him. I was singing to him and had my head on his shoulder. I new he was brain dead due to an aneurysm but when his heart stopped beating I looked up and saw his spirit leave his body, I absolutely saw this. He was at peace. I know I will see him again and he is with the Lord. That was 24 years ago and I’m now 70. I know I will be with him one day. It’s a promise from God✝️☮️

I was a hospice nurse for 15 years. Hospice is a journey. Some patients saw their lived ones who have passed on. One lady lost all of her 5 children in a fire. Just before she died she told her husband that all her children were standing at the end of her bed she said she had to go and be with them and breathed her last. I have so many beautiful hospice stories you can't help but believe in God

When my 92 year old dad passed, I was there watching him reach out and smile in awe at what he saw....possibly angels, Jesus, loved ones, etc...he smiled and I saw a glow from his body and the clock stopped....he took his last breath and was gone...I truly believe he went to Paradise....the clock began ticking again right most beautiful experience! Rest Daddy, I miss you, I love you!

[garyrine]

My brother died in 1962 he had a broken neck in the hospital from swimming accident I was 13 years old mom and dad and me were called to hospital they said my brother did not have long he told us there was two angels there and it was his time he kissed us all then went into coma I am 75years old now I still think of that time god bless all of you time is short

When my father passed my heart broke. My baby daughter was 3 and came to me and said “Mommy don’t cry when stop breathing here we begin breathing somewhere else” out of the mouth babes.

[tonyl]

My mom recently passed from dementia, she was always sleeping & non responsive, when she was in hospice the last few days of her life she sat up opened her eyes and yelled out my dads name looking at the foot of her bed, I honestly believe my dad was there to help her cross over! God I miss them so much! 😭 52:28

I had a NDE at the age of 12. I can assure anyone reading or doubting that life goes on’ I’m here to tell you ‘ it really goes on. No pain’ no weakness’ everything is brand new

My beloved husband died 4 years ago from a brain tumor. He lived six months after diagnosis and was on home hospice the last two months. The last day of his life he was in & out of consciousness. He had been unable to speak for 3 weeks. He suddenly opened his eyes and said my name. I went to him and he spoke clearly, saying 'I'm thinking of just taking it easy and going on a summer vacation'. I told him to go ride his bike along the beach in Florida, which he loved to do. I also told him we loved him and we'd be fine. He sighed, closed his eyes, went into a coma and died a few hours later.

[a.s.]

Before my fiancé passed away he kept calling to me, and when I I asked him what he wanted he said to me that the angels were talking to him about me and told him that I was supposed to be there to be a part of his passing. Moments later his beautiful blue eyes became so illuminated as if he had a flashlight on behind them like stained glass all lit up brilliantly from behind. Then, he looked at me took his last breath and flew away.
It was the most profound thing that has ever happened in my life and I will never forget it…

I was traveling long distance to see my grandmother every weekend, who was in a nursing home. I said hang on and I'll be back next weekend; I don't want you to be alone, when it's your time to go. She said, I'm not alone, he's with me at night. I asked, who is with you? She said I don't know, but he's with me at night, I'm not alone. I asked her if it was someone that worked there and she said no. I asked if it was Jesus or an angel? No. I asked if it was her husband that had died before her, a family member or a friend (I figured I had everyone covered at that point) and she said NO. I said well I need to know who it is... She said again, I don't know! It's okay, he's with me at night; I'm not alone. So I stayed in her room all night that night and I talked to the nurses, to make sure no one else was going in there other than the actual night nurse, to take her vitals. The nights I stayed, she slept peacefully. Sometimes in her sleep, she sang old hymns, word for word; yet during the day, she couldn't remember all the verses. Her mind was there till the end; her body grew tired. She was ready to go "home" she said. I told her that it was okay, that we were all in agreement, that she could go. Well, she died in my arms the next night. I was praying a few days later after her funeral; I just didn't understand. I said God, I just need to know that she was okay at night and who was with her. I need to know. I heard this calm and reassuring voice, that called me by name... He said Cheri, it was my Holy Spirit, the Comforter, who was with your grandmother at night; she was never alone. 😮 ❤

I have lost so many in the last few years including both children. It will be the happiest day of my life when I see them again.

My wife worked as an RN in a hospice. I asked her how she dealt with it. She said it is much like maternity nurses who welcome new people into the world. Her job was to see them out. Her work with the families was important in helping them through the transition.

[cabbie]

My mother's passing was nothing my sisters and I were expecting nor her hospice nurses. We had been told she was just beginning to transition. She was surprisingly lucid and quite talkative. First thing that occurred was she told my sisters and myself that that our father, who passed away 10 years and 4 days before she did, was coming along with her father to take her home. She replied heaven when asked where home was. Then one of her long-term nurses was a little teary because she and my mother had developed a really close relationship. My mother told her she had nothing to be upset because her son was right next to her and was looking out for her. Without our family understanding what exactly was happening, this nurse asked questions such as where is he and describe him which my mother did with no hesitation. Finally, the nurse explained she had lost her son as a child and had never told anyone who was still alive or people she worked with and said mother described him to a T. Finally, my father and grandfather showed up according to her and she died. Still think about it often, it's been 3 years.

Years ago, my mother passed from cancer. A couple days before death, she asked for a paper and pencil where upon she pointed at my wife and I wrote twins girl and boy. We proceeded to have twin girls, and a boy. In my eyes she had met them coming before death.

I took care of dementia patients for a few years and i knew when they were close to dying because they would say their mom was coming soon or something to that extent.
Now i have terminal cancer...I have some comfort in believing that I will see my loved ones when I leave this earth.

[jeni]

The day before my mom passed she said he was waiting for her . I am like who . She said Jesus and took my hand and said please find the lord please . Hours later she passed . Praise the lord I found the lord and walk with him in my journey.

[berthahobler]

My father had hospice care at home one day as I was next to him sitting on a chair. And watching him he turns to me and said that his mother and sister were in the room, I asked him where he smiled and said that they were there in the room with us. He looked so peaceful. His mother and sister had passed away 20years ago.miss my Dad❤

[jenapotts]

My daughter was in a semi coma from cancer and had not spoken for about 3 days when all of a sudden one evening my son and I heard her say clearly, " It's all about your Kingdom, Lord".. It's all about your Kingdom" .. We were filled and secure that she was talking to Jesus, her Lord and will never forget what her last words were.
