I'm a trauma nurse myself and have had patients wake up and talk to people not in the room, arguing they didn't want to go, and I've had patients tell me its ok their family is waiting for them.
I've seen my grandfather right before my dad passed away and then 2 weeks after my dad's passing I saw his sister who passed a few years before dad, I was in bed and someone grabbed my ankle really tight when I sat bolt upright in my bed she stepped to the side and I saw dad. Right before I had my stroke the entire air around me was filled with my grandmother's perfume. So my long answer is yes I truly believe there's others around us.

On my DH's last day, in ER, he was in a coma and suddenly woke up and pointed to the side of the room. He counted, pointing, one, two, three, up to nine, then calmly told me that "They are all there waiting for me" then pointed to the right of the room and said that "The rest of them are over there", and then went out again. Nine added up to his parents and brothers who had gone before, and some of his most loved aunts.
When I told the ER nurse, he wasn't surprised.
I had worked with him before so he told me that he saw it often on the last day but no one wanted to hear it so he never said anything except when asked. He said for me to call in the family...he died later that evening.
A couple of days later I was sitting alone in the house and heard him tell me Goodbye, using my pet name only he called me.
