Experiences at the end of life: Event in the Old Train Station Taunusstein

A remarkable event will take place in Taunusstein on Friday, October 31st at 5 p.m. in the “Alter Bahnhof” cultural station. The topic will revolve around the almost incomprehensible experiences at the end of life. The renowned psychotherapist and hospice consultant Lilli Fischer will bring guests closer to what people can experience during the dying process and near-death experiences. The location of the event is at Kirchstrasse 20a, where visitors can look forward to an exciting exchange.

“It’s about making incomprehensible experiences tangible and reducing fear when dealing with the topic of dying,” explains Fischer. At a time when death is often taboo, it is important that we deal openly with these sensitive topics. The event is intended to create space for questions and provide clarifying answers to the many phenomena surrounding death.

The great transition and its perceptions

The topic of near-death experiences is multifaceted and is increasingly being discussed by luminaries such as Dr. Pim van Lommel, a cardiologist. In one study, he found that about one in five people who were resuscitated reported a near-death experience. These experiences often include experiencing a dark tunnel, feeling like you are watching your life like a movie, and feeling love and peace. It is estimated that over four percent of people in the Western world have had such an experience, which affects more than three million people in Germany. Many report that they have fundamentally changed their lives after these experiences. For example, felt Roland Faber after his “cosmic journey” he was reborn after a heart attack.

In her work, the end-of-life companion Johanna Nientiedt has repeatedly noticed how important it is to talk about death. She herself has had several near-death experiences and is certain that death is not the end. She uses her experiences not only to encourage others, but also to train hospice helpers and lead a self-help group.

Open dialogue about death

With the event in the Old Train Station, a further step is taken to break the taboo surrounding dying. Promoting open dialogue could help reduce fears and give people the opportunity to voice their questions and concerns. Experiencing near-death experiences raises many questions for which there are scientific explanations - such as a lack of oxygen in the brain or the release of feel-good messenger substances - but much remains unclear. Recent studies show that the brain may be more active during death than we previously thought. This could revolutionize our understanding of consciousness and the experience of dying.

The event promises to offer many interesting insights and food for thought. Anyone interested is warmly invited to take part in this dialogue and learn more about the incomprehensible aspects of life that come at the end of a life.
