Get Your Nose Out of the Magazine and See What’s Happening to Me!

SDE: Get Your Nose Out of the Magazine and See What’s Happening to Me! On the day her great - aunt would die, Dena was absorbed in the pages of People magazine, ignoring the woman, who was unconscious and only hours from death. All of a sudden Dena distinctly heard her great - aunt speak. “ I was surprised to hear her, because I really thought she was long gone, ” said the young woman. “I said, get your face out of that stupid magazine and look at what’s happening to me!” said the woman with a surprisingly strong voice. Dena looked up and found herself face - to - face with her deceased grandmother. The woman Dena saw was much younger than when Dena had last seen her and far more self - assured than when she was alive. Dena had a million things she wanted to ask her grandmother, but before she could speak, her grandmother disappeared. From that point until she died, Dena’s great - aunt was coherent. For the last few hours of her life, Dena and her great - aunt spoke as if they had been close friends for decades. It was a conversation, by the way, that included the late grandmother. At nine that night, the great - aunt died, leaving Dena sorry that she had not had a relationship with her all those years. It also left her with a question that she asked me at the end of her story. “Why, Dr. Moody, would I have this experience with someone that I didn’t even care about?”
