Vanna Uangovna Kim, a Gaean priestess (?), guides and blesses an old man on his death bed. Do they practice "mediation" (p. 100) or meditation? Leaving the man smiling but unconscious, she advises his family, waiting in an outer room, that he will probably remain unconscious and definitely die soon.
A doctor said that about CS Lewis, then, after a clergyman had administered Last Rites, Lewis woke up and asked for a cup of tea! For an account of a post-mortem apparition of Lewis, see here.
