The Last Farewell Embrace: Spirituality, Near-Death Experiences and Other Extraordinary Events Among Nurses

This recension to the book of Alejandro Parra aims to be a contribution on the various topics that the theme on the experiences in “threshold of death” addresses, namely, paranormal phenomena experienced by several people, such as the nurses, and that are impossible to be explained within the current biomedical model. In this sense, the study of the concept of spirituality in health care could be an important topic to be approached in this area of research with the purpose of better understanding the patients who are in the process of “passing”, as well as expand the perspective of the current biomedical model, so as to take into consideration the human being in its various dimensions: spiritual, psychological, and physical/biological.
