Terminal lucidity occurs in children

It turns out that terminal lucidity also happens fairly often even with very young children, as described in a recent paper in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (https://journals.lww.com/jonmd/abstract/...ic.10.aspx). 

From an article on this, at https://www.dailygrail.com/2024/08/when-...y-in-kids/ :

Quote:""....one patient – a 3-year-old girl with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) – was suffering ongoing organ failure, and after being transferred to the ICU, had become encephalopathic (having a dysfunctional brain) and was no longer speaking, eating, or responding to parents and care providers. Some weeks later, on the same day that the parents had changed her status to ‘Do not resuscitate’, she suddenly awoke and asked for her usual comfort items (i.e. Lion King movie, parents, toys) and food. She showed no indication of mental impairment and regained the ability to sit up in bed and participate in coloring and other simple age-appropriate tasks."  (from paper)

She spoke using logical, organized full sentences, and had multiple conversations with her parents that evening, which they and the bedside nurse described as “like a miracle.”

…She indicated awareness of transitioning to death and reassured loved ones of the need not to be concerned about her.

Interestingly, the researchers report that beyond the people who were in the room with her, the girl also seemed to be communicating with people who were not visible (a common aspect of death-bed vision cases)."

If the report is accurate the 3-year old little girl exhibited amazing maturity and wisdom for her age in her awareness of impending death and her reassurance of parents that they shouldn't be concerned. I don't think there normally is any understanding of the reality of death at such a young age, to say nothing of any understanding of the continuance of life in an afterlife after physical death (thereby making it not really a matter of concern). This seems to be some sort of soul knowledge coming through. 

By the way, NDE and related phenomena researchers Bruce Greyson and Peter Fenwick were among the authors of the study.
