Mamma’s and Pappa’s lead singer was Denny Doherty – a Canadian. In a documentary which I found on Bravo.ca, he discusses death and dying with reference to the death of his wife, Jeanette. Check out Clip 8 of “Here I am”, the 2:00 minute mark. Here is a sample.
Doherty: I watched her take her last breath, counted the seconds between each breath, then heard the last one. That’s it, and then she was gone. Where did she go? Not physical. She’s not here any more. What was that that just left? And where did it go? I physically felt (breathes out).
Interviewer: Did that give you some sense of peace or some sense of unease?
Doherty: Oh, terrified. It’s the unknown. I don’t know. Where did she go? She was here a minute ago.
It’s gonna happen to me. Yea, it’s gonna happen to you.
Where are you going? I don’t know. Do you? (in anexaggerated tone): “Yes, I’ve been there. I’ve had an out of body experience. Where are we going? Are we going to Cleveland?”
Right questions!
There is a better answer!
