Dr. Melvin Morse, M.D., is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics
at the University of Washington. He has studied near-death
experiences in children for 15 years and is the author of several
outstanding books on the subject: Closer to the Light, Transformed
by the Light, Parting Visions, his latest book, Where God Lives. He
is primarily interested in learning how to use the visions that
surround death to heal grief. The stories that children have told
him about what it is like to die have lessons for all of us,
especially those attempting to understand the meaning of death or
the death of a child. "Our study, done at Seattle Children's Hospital concluded that near-death experiences are in fact the dying experience. We studied 26 critically ill children and found that 24 of them reported being conscious while dying, and having some sort of conscious experience. Typically that involved the perception of a loving light, a "light that had good things in it". Books
