Sometimes. Yes, in some cases they do know. Some people have been known to bring their Will up-to-date just weeks to days of their passing. Hospitals are now taking notes and studying those going through the death process as well as scientists. Even when a person is in a coma doctors and scientists alike are most interested in knowing if that person is in limbo (between two worlds) or truly just asleep and knows nothing about what is going on around them. Some of the elderly that lose a mate will mourn so deeply that they too pass away within months of their mate which can lead one to believe that sometimes we do have a choice to pass on when older and pining from a broken heart and loneliness. I had a young friend that was in a terrible auto accident and he was in a coma. All of his friends including myself would take turns and have conversations with him about the memories we had with him and also we'd put his favorite music on (he was in a rock band.) It took a long time, but he did come out of the coma. Unfortunately, he didn't recognize many of us and things he once loved he has a distaste for now. He can't play his Electric Guitar any longer, but can tell you the dates, names of any band out there. The mind is an incredible mass of circuitry. Sometimes impending death comes so quickly the person doesn't know what hit them.

some can. Others no doubt, are completely surprised when they wake up dead.
