  Cynthia T NDE English expanded version  9/1/10  From Canada.  Original in French, translated to English by Magalie. Right after they left, the room looked like it was fading away and as I was telling the nurse about it everything went white… as if I was blinded by a strong light. I could hear everything… even the nurse who was on the phone asking for medication. It was like fainting but instead of being dark it was sparkling white. I felt like I was floating on a cloud and it felt so good, it was an amazing sensation…. until I came back in my body.

NDE from childbirth complications.

Captain David Perry  English expanded version  8/31/10 NDE from 1796

Kathy G Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/18/10  From France.  Original in French, translated to English by Magalie.  After being in labor for 19 hours my baby was stuck and the doctor decided to do an emergency C-section.   When they were ready to cut, the epidural wasn’t working anymore so they put me under anesthesia.  I found myself in a very bright hallway, very beautiful and very cozy. At the end of the hallway there were some figures, which I couldn’t make out but they were calling me by my first name and asking me to live, telling me that it was time, I had to go.  At the same time, someone was slapping me in the face, calling me by my last name and asking me to wake up.
Probable NDE from childbirth complications.

Sara NDE  English expanded version  8/13/10  From Paraguay.  Original in Spanish, translated to English by Simon.  Everything started to lose shape, fading, I could just see the outlines of things which then started to shine, until everything became a light, growing stronger and stronger and changing from bluish to white. From the darkness I felt a mixture of very unusual emotions, a feeling of peace, tranquillity, happiness, joy... I felt safe, sure, in unity with everything, a part of something immense. A lot of indescribable emotions. And the light was calling me, I felt I had to go to it, not feeling my body, but knowing that I could get to it (the light).  Then I felt that something was pulling me in what would be my chest, I felt sadness, concern for my family, I did not want to leave this tranquillity, but I heard my father's voice asking for my help, saying they needed me, that I must make an effort or I would not survive, that I was strong.
NDE from loss of consciousness and seizure.

Alberta L NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  I went through a tunnel and into the brightest light that you can imagine but it was not blinding.  It was so calming and filled with love.  It was a thousand times better than the love you experience on earth. Everything was white when I passed through the light.  I saw a bunch of people dressed in white robes.  They were communicating without talking or moving their mouths and floating without walking. A figure came close to me, it was my great grandmother.  That was odd because I was not her favorite great grand daughter, my cousin was.  I always knew she loved me though. As soon as she came very close to me, my mother came up from behind her and put her hand out to me so I could grab it.  My great grand mother prevented that. All of a sudden, I wanted to go back to tell my husband that I wanted him to raise our children a certain way then I wanted to come right back as soon as possible.
NDE due to allergic reaction from anesthetic during caesarian section delivery.

  Terry M NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  I have a bit of memory about me being rushed through double doors and after that—nothing.  The next thing I recall is a sensation of floating in a void, a grey like substance and experiencing incredible peace, the absolute absence of any kind of fear.  This experience would be interrupted by Nurse Amy, (She was one of the ER nurses) or Dr. Lee, (ER MD) calling my name and I would achieve a bit consciousness.   I would return to this "void".  I became mildly aggravated with the medical types for calling me back.
NDE and other experiences.  Experience described in most detail was from illness following surgery.

Diane L NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  I was at the local beach with my sister.  It was a balmy summer day with waves app. 3 feet high.  I had decided to go into the water which was warm.  I then went body surfing.  I started tumbling under the water.  I kept trying to right myself but could not.  Suddenly, I was watching myself roll.  I was not upset I felt peace.  I was in a large expanse of black watching my life flash before me.  I looked down and somehow I was righted upwards.
NDE at age 14 due to drowning.

Trevor FB NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  My body started to fit and after that I started to feel increasingly detached from the situation and  it felt like everything was starting to slow down ...like I was driving on the motorway and had drifted into a sand filled safety lane ..that the slowing down was not something I had a choice / control over....there was a tangible 'stop' point some minutes ahead and it was not avoidable - the rest of the world continued past me but I was stopping. When we got to the resuscitation room in A&E I felt very close to being entirely detached and was not frightened anymore - in fact there was a great sense of calmness as I knew with great certainty that there was nothing I could do about it.... it was entirely out of my control and therefore I could relax and just observe very closely. My point of vision was above and slightly to the rear of my head…
NDE due to heart attack.

Ellen N NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  I realized that I was no more than a eye or something with a vision which was me and I was on top of the lights in the surgery room and then I realized it was me and I was looking around and suddenly I looked down and there I was looking at myself laying on the surgery table and the Doctor pounding on my chest trying to revive me.  Then I realized that I was looking down at my body and for just seconds I knew what was going on and I felt as if I was the smallest entity imaginable almost like I was the smallest water drop but with thinking abilities to recognize myself as being almost a spirit of some kind. But when I had realized that I must be dying the next thing of acknowledgment was when they were waking me up out the anesthesia.
NDE under general anesthesia.

  Sally P NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  Then in an unrecognizable "place", feeling very comfortable, not concerned or worried. Felt "presence" and feeling I could communicate, but not speech nor hearing. My overwhelming and really only concern was that although the feeling of love and peace was enormous, I needed to return to earth to raise my daughters of 7 and 4. What came back from the presence was: "Whatever you need to do you will do." That made me feel even more relaxed. I enjoyed staying a while longer and feeling the overwhelming love flood over me.
NDE due to infection.

  Michael O Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  He stood in front of me sitting on the bed. I knew him better than anyone in the room. As though I had known him forever. He looked at me and gave me a choice to stay or go. Without hesitation, I said lets go. I was ready. I had been battling illness for three years. Been through chemo, and tons of drugs. Not to mention the worst pain ever with what I was currently experiencing. I looked back with no regret, know that my family could not loose in the long run. I was tired and wanted terribly to be with this being. He solely cared for me and loved me so much. I made my choice to go, and in almost an instant my head was flooded with images of my to children and how hurt they would be. I know he did it, and Im glad. I told him that I would have to stay.
Probable NDE due to illness.

  Crystal M NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  I remember communicating with the light all around me. I knew it was God. I could touch the light and it was communicate emotions and thoughts to me. I have never felt that much love and utter peace. I had this overwhelming understanding that EVERYTHING was exactly as it was suppose to be. Everything that was or is...was just perfect.  All communication that was done was done with no words...it was just understood between us. I began to go through the light , which now I understand why people say they were in a tunnel. The light was all around me. The entire time I was communicating with it and the 2 beings with me. I remember going through the light...towards an end...a brighter spot at the end of the tunnel.  I was not afraid...I knew who I was and where I was...like being transported to your childhood home...you remember it.
NDE due to cardiac arrest.

  Teri R NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  Then I emerged from the tunnel into an indescribable place of peace and tranquility.  There was the most beautiful Being of White Light there.  With the level of understanding I had at the time, I saw that he took on an image so that I could relate and feel comfortable but that his true essence was Light and Love.  He appeared to me as an older man with long gray hair and a beard.  But what stood out above anything else was that he loved me unconditionally.  The feeling of being in his presence was something that felt like I was "home"-in a sense that I had never known.  I saw that my true essence was also this energy of love but as he reviewed my life with me, I received the understanding that I was the one who removed myself from the benefits and bliss of love by the anger I felt over some experiences I had had growing up.  I saw how important it is to project feelings of love instead of the energy I was projecting through my emotions and feelings about life.
NDE due to auto accident.

  Lylia P NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  Then it happened.  I was rising, rising high, above the treetops in the Amazonian Rain forest. At 3, I had not learned what this was, so when I told my parents, they were shocked.  I was bleeding from my head, and I put my hand and saw this glistening red in the sky. I was scared at first, but something in me calmed me down.  Then, As I faced a door, I touched the handle. The handle was extremely warm, and I pulled my hand away. Then the door vanished.  My first house fire occurred a year later.  Then, I was placed in front of a large chair, with a strict looking woman on it.  Then my mother went to court a month later. With a female judge.
NDE at age 3 due to head injury.  Interesting future visions.

JC Possible NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  I was alone in my room in bed the day after the open heart surgery.  I was wondering if my adult son was in the waiting room.  Immediately upon that thought, my consciousness/awareness was moving down the hallway in Hopkins.  "I" was about 5' above the floor and passed over a gurney.  I found myself in the waiting room.  I looked around and noticed two little (petite/small boned) black girls around 5 years of age sitting together in one large chair.  They appeared to be twins.  They were very neat and had braids.  One had a book she was looking at.  The other was sitting slightly in back of her and looking over the other's shoulder at the book.  I looked for my son.  When I saw that he wasn't there, I said to myself, "there's no reason to stay here."  Immediately upon saying that, "I" was back in my bed.
OBE possible NDE after heart surgery.

Melissa C NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  Then I looked down and was observing my own surgery. I was small, so I had no clue what was going on. I was a shy child so I though to myself, I will just stay here and be quiet. At that moment, the surgeon and staff seemed to be in a panic, but i was distracted by the sounds of a playground to my right. I turned toward the sounds of other children calling me, telling me they wanted me to come and play. I looked down a dark area where the other children were calling from, remembering I wanted to go play, it felt safe. I looked down again at my body laying there on the table, opened up, blood around me. I heard" we are losing her!" I still did not understand what was happening. I do remember seeing them working on me, the monitor was not beeping anymore, and it was upsetting all the nurses.
NDE at age 4 from complication during surgery for perforated appendix.

  Margie A NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  The Dr. was shouting at a maintenance man to hurry up with some wooden blocks. They were putting them under the foot-end of the bed. And he was shouting about the blood; where was it. When he said it's too late, I instantly left the room. (It was a huge room-that was strange; I worked at the same hospital and there wasn't a room like that anywhere).   Now I was moving in a wonderful soft pinkish-golden presence. The presence with me was Love and Peace and I was wrapped inside. It was quiet and so beautiful that I wanted to stay there forever. Outside of this presence was a golden light. I was being lifted up and up. I was aware that I had to go back and I didn't want to.
NDE due to childbirth.  Shared 48 years later.

Arnaud S NDE  English expanded version  8/10/10  Original in French, translated to English by Magalie.  I started playing the “choking game”. I was near a pond in the schoolyard, surrounded by my friends. I felt myself going and then, only remember to have seen everything that was happening around the pond and myself. The notion of time did not exist. It was like I was floating above the scenery: my friends were speaking and laughing while two other friends were holding me. I felt a kind of warmth, intense well being and felt as if I had total knowledge of everything. When I came back I was told I was unconscious for about 10 seconds and that two friends had caught me as I fell.
Beginnings of a NDE from choking.

Sandra K NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10  Finally I looked up to see if she was ok, that's when I noticed I was hovering just above our bodies about where the roof of the car was. I again answered my sisters cries but this time I could see myself knocked out w/h my head in my chest. I was outside my body long enough to realize that she couldn't hear me because I wasn't in my physical body therefore I had no vocal cords. What was weird though was I could hear my voice just as I did when I was in my body. What happened next was since I couldn't reply to my sisters pleas she reached over to shake me awake, when she did this she let out this scream of pain (I watched this all happen). The next thing I know I'm some how back in my body again.
NDE due to car accident.

  David B NDE/FDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 Finally...my fear said " get this over with...quickly ". I opened my mouth and started swallowing as much water as I could as fast as I could. I was trying to drown myself. I was not thinking of anything but getting out of there. As I was frantically swallowing...I found myself peacefully and quietly floating horizontally in a winding tunnel. The tunnel was about 8-10 feet across. As I floated, I was looking to my right and I could see the end of my arm and hand  stretched out from my side. ( Like a plane wing). I could see that the walls of the tunnel had dark dirty like rings going around it with little round dark spots on the tunnel wall. Ahead, it seemed to wind,  there was a light noticed ahead at certain turns in the tunnel. ...I was moving forward horizontally,... slowly. Very peaceful and no noise.
NDE vs Fear-Death Experience from near drowning.  Experience began while he was frantically swallowing water, suggesting possibility that this is Fear-Death Experience.  Experience included a living person (his mother) which is very unusual.

  Dani C NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 I had consumed a large amount of pills and alcohol.  When I "came to" - I was floating above my body.  It was a very neutral feeling initially.  I remember it being dark.  I started to ascend towards light and feeling joy - although that word does not do justice to what I was feeling.  Then I was told to go back.  It is not your time.  I remember feeling sad.  I have no conscious memory of going back in my body.  I woke the next day, ill from the side effects of the poisons I had put in my body.
NDE at age 15 due to suicide attempt.

  Anne R NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10  June 21, 1957, I turned 15 years old. A week later, after going to the mail box to mail my grandparents a thank you note, I was strangled and then kidnapped. I later came to in a corn field. SOMETHING told me to pretend I was dead. I was aware someone was there...later I heard him start to leave. He said repeatedly. "she's dead, she's dead". All I wanted to do was go to sleep. While I was "asleep", I saw blue sky and lots of very bright light in the background of a "spiritual" figure (a man -GOD?)) in flowing red robes commanding me in a very stern voice: "Anne - get up"...I just wanted to sleep...he again commanded me to get up. Somehow I did. I stumbled through the corn and later came to a dirt road. Why I turned right instead of left, I don't know. I soon saw a farm house and collapsed in their yard. They called the ambulance.
NDE at age 15 due to criminal attack.  Message in NDE likely saved her life.

  Joni P NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 I had erysipelas.  I had blood transfusions trying to save me.  I was pronounced dead and word was sent to my family… I was looking down at the hospital bed where I was lying.  I thought I was on some steep stairs but realized later that was not the case.  I was evidently hovering about the ceiling.  The next thing I knew I was standing by some hedges that I had come through.  There was a young girl there who told me she was my sister and she did look very much like my oldest sister who was 8 years older than I.  She said I was to stay there with her and I asked her if this was school.  She said it was something like a school which made me happy as I wanted to go to school like my 3 older sisters.  She took my hand and led me down a path into a very beautiful place.  everything was perfect, rolling hills, green grass and a stream running nearby.  She said she was not sure if I was able to stay, she would have to leave me for a while to find out.  I was not allowed past a certain place.  On the other side it looked like there was crystal buildings which I though must be the school.
NDE at age 4 due to illness.  Shared 73 years later.

  Joel H NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10  At the time of the incident I was in bed asleep. Suddenly, my consciousness was ripped from my body and I was hurled through a corridor-like tunnel that I could see through. Outside were thousands of planets that were being passed at a tremendous speed. At the end of the tunnel was a pin point of light that was growing larger and larger. My emotional state was that I was experiencing a very relaxed and loving feeling; in fact, I felt like I was a Prince coming home. However, I was also furious at being there. A pleasant and loving voice within the light asked me a question: "Are you ready to come home?"  To which I replied, "No! I want to see my new son grow up." I was immediately slammed back into my body. It was like every  cell of my body was being pushed through a board, and yet I felt no real pain. When I regained awareness, I was on my way to the emergency ward.

  Paul H Probable NDEs  English expanded version  8/8/10  1954, 1997 -- Both experience of void and reaching incredible light, all colors, almost to boundary line; Experiences later, e.g., 1974, sudden access to every book I've ever read, many human languages, whatever search terms, photographic -- then whoosh-like feeling, back-into-body, seated near four other people, talking, who did not notice that I had "been gone"… Synaesthesia -- Hearing colors, seeing sounds.
Probable NDEs due to illness.

  Anita C NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 During a dental procedure there was a bright light that I rose up to and was subequently fully engulfed.  A very calming male voice told me I had a choice to move on further into the light or stay in my present element.  I was looking down and was able to recall the tops of the heads of all the medical personnel in the room and I was briefly considering going further into the light. The male voice told me that time was running out and that I must give a response, and I did say that I chose to stay because I could withstand my controlling grandmother and did not want to leave my grandfather.  I did not immediately awaken, but continued to watch the scene below me for a while, I'm unable to estimate the length of time.  The nurses were shaking me and tapping the tops of my hands and rubbing my arms while the doctor was very loudly yelling for someone to get my grandmother quickly and he kept saying they were losing me.
NDE due to anesthetic complication at age 7.  Experience shared 64 years later.

Maria C NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10  But I clearly remember seeing myself walking though a tunnel, while I walked, well, it was like floating more then walking, I felt peace, no worries, angelical music, and a bright clear light like a star, like a diamond, and at the end of the tunnel there was this man, he looked just like the pictures we see here of Jesus, he took me my hand and said to me, "This is not your time" and like floating motion he turned me around and sent me back…
NDE due to brain hemorrhage.

  Scott R Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10  I experienced civil war soldiers marching along a long walkway upwards.  I was told it was not my time to go.  My feelings was of purgatory or hell.  But there was more too it that I can not put to words.  It was as though I had more to do and to prove my worthiness.
Probable NDE due to injury from an exploding water main.

  Connie P NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 From UK.  I have "recall", which is almost like having a wonderful memory.  I see the grass - it's incredibly lush and green - and I know it's late spring or early summer.  I know the air is full of pollen and the flowers are blooming.  It's warm and the sun is brilliant.  I see the skirt, all the way down to the ground, as the woman walks towards me.  I look up very slowly and see her face.  I see and feel nothing but love, peace and understanding.
NDE due to cardiac arrest during surgery.

Rachel L Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 When I blacked out, I began to fly/fall down a flight of stairs into a wall, and right before I hit the wall I immediately stopped before impact.  I began to float and found myself in an old English pub, dimly lit, with an old bartender wiping down glasses.  He nodded to acknowledge my presence, and then I woke up to a doctor saying "Welcome back."

I TURNED OR WAS TURNED AWAY AND FOUND MYSELF IN A "TUNNEL" OF LIGHT, BRIGHT BUT AT THE SAME TIME "SOFT" AROUND THE EDGES. I WAS PROCEEDING DOWN (OR UP) THROUGH THIS TUNNEL AND I SAW A FIGURE--NOT DESCRIBABLE--THIS FIGURE SAID " GO BACK--IT IS NOT YOUR TIME." I DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK AND THE VOICE REPEATED 'GO BACK. IT IS NOT YOUR TIME" THEN THE VOICE SAID "YOU HAVE HAD ENOUGH" AND I KNEW THAT THE VOICE MEANT ALCOHOL. I RELUCTANTLY RETREATED AND THE NEXT THING I REMEMBER IS WAKING UP IN A HOSPITAL BED COMPLETELY AT PEACE AND SOBER. I WAS ALL ALONE AND I HEARD MY OWN VOICE RECITING THE FIRST STEP OF AA. I HAVE NOT  HAD A DRINK OR A DESIRE FOR A DRINK TO THIS DAY.

My grandmother was standing with one seat on the swing with no one in it, I tried to get in the swing seat but could not .  I ask my grandmother to help me on the swing and she said no that I could not stay I had to go home. I could smell my grandmother's perfume something I had not smelled in 27 years  and my grandfather 's laugh .

NDE due to accident.

  Robin W Fear Death Experience  English expanded version  8/8/10  I hit black ice, and my car careened out of control.  At that point, I felt as if I was looking at the steering wheel turning one direction and then the other at a fast speed.  I could see the steering wheel from above and see myself in the driver's seat.  The most profound thing I remember is the sense of utter peace and joy- a feeling that is truly indescribable- and one I have never had since.  It was a calm joy and happiness, as I watched from above.  The next thing I remember is being back in my seat and saying in a loud voice, "God, I'm not ready to go yet."  I remember vaguely going down an embankment and hitting a tree.  Yet, I don't remember an impact, per se.
Fear-Death Experience immediately prior to auto accident.

  Sally L Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 I felt as I drifted so peaceful and LOVED. I smelled roses before I got there. When I looked around I saw the rose garden with every different color you could think of.  I was in this bright place and glowing light with love all around me. I heard music and angels singing. A tall man came and asked me if I wanted to go on or back. I think he asked me twice. I said I want to go back. I think I must have been told I would get married and start a family. I might have wanted to stay otherwise. It was so beautiful. I know it was heaven. I was scared to die until then. I will never forget the place of unconditional love.
Probable NDE due to anesthetic complication

  Michael A NDE 4521  English expanded version  8/8/10  A few days post operative I was laying in ICU and I felt a fluttering and alarms on the monitor sounded and hospital staff came running in and board placed under me and gown was pulled off and "equipment attached to wires from my chest". I was already looking down on myself. I pulled out of my body at the time the board was placed under me. All of a sudden I was back in my body looking down at my feet. Did not experience any pain… I was no as blind in those days as I am now.
NDE due to cardiac arrest.  He is blind, and was blind at the time of this experience.

  Kathy W Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 There was a figure sitting under an enormous tree and other small figures/children were gathered around. The figure (male)--(funny I don't remember a race or hair color just illuminating light) had a pure white robe on. It was not the man Jesus but He was God/Creator. Others would probably thought of Him as Jesus. He told me without words to come to Him. I went to Him, He was familiar, and He held me and comforted me. I have never felt so safe, loved unconditionally and the pain....it was gone!!  Oh, and that lovely sweet scent---roses/lily of the valley--like every flower in the world surrendered one note of its being to create the perfect scent.
Probable NDE at age 3 due to illness.

  Dorothy T NDEs  English expanded version  8/8/10 From Canada The second time, like the first, I found myself in a tunnel of sorts. It was made up of light. If I looked directly up I could see that the light was made of many, many colours (at six I didn't know about spectrums) but the light ahead and around me was white, beyond white, beyond anything that can be described as white. I remember thinking "I'm back" and feeling relief. Both times there was a figure at the end of the tunnel, male in 'feel' but non-distinguishable in features. The intensity of emotion was of overwhelming love, knowledge and belonging. Both times I was told, by name I think, that I had to go back. That I could not come now. The 'voice' was a beautiful voice, calm and loving but, like the light, it seemed to come from both within and without and seemed to be and yet not be at the same time. I remember, the second time, begging to be allowed to follow beyond the tunnel and I remember the disappointment at, once again, being turned back.
Two NDEs.  One at age 6 due to blood loss and another at age 23 due to coma.

  Debra B NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10 I don't remember anything before the accident, as me and my ex-boyfriend were drinking heavily. All I know is it happened around 3am and the next thing I know I feel this floating sensation...I wasn't in my body. Next it was really dark, like a tunnel floating toward this light and as I was floating further on the light was getting bigger and brighter. Next I see my Mom (she died in 2000) and she was standing in front of the light. She was wearing this white gown and it looked as if she was glowing. She had her head down and her eyes up staring at me and we were communicating in our minds. It was as if we can read each others thoughts!
NDE due to head injury (thrown from car).

  Lisa T Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10  I took an overdose of prescription pills in an attempt at suicide I was a drug addict my mother was being buried that day I had been arrested and charged with felony drugs crimes lost custody of all 3 of my children. I spiraled into a deep depression and tried to kill myself. I can remember the light and I heard voices but the voices were drowned  out by a baby crying...I think the baby was my cousins son who  had died from SIDS ...shortly after this happened I had a dream that my mom was holding that baby showing him to me.. the only thing that saved my life was a police officer I had known since childhood I can remember him calling me back telling me I couldn't do this to my family. I turned away from the light and then all I remember is everything going black I woke up in ICU 2 weeks later.
Probable NDE due to suicide attempt with drug overdose.

  JM Probable NDE  English expanded version  8/8/10  From UK.  I had a Pneumo Thorax and required surgery to fix it. Whilst undergoing surgery I had an experience, at which point I am not sure. I was not aware of leaving my body, but I was aware of 'waking up' somewhere else. I found myself in a small clearing in what seemed to be a kind of forest. There was a table in the clearing large and oval at which sat people who I did not know. I was beckoned to go and sit down at an empty space. After I sat down a large screen appeared behind the table and we all turned to see it. The screen showed in a kind of fast forward mode all the events of my life up until that point. After the 'film' finished there was then much discussion of which I did not really seem to be part of about whether I had 'followed' my life path and overcome the tasks set to me. After some debate the consensus was that I had not and I was informed that I was to be 'sent' back for another try, and this time I would need to make some changes and put my life on a different track.
Probable NDE while undergoing surgery.

Maurice B NDE  English expanded version  8/7/10 From France.  Original in French, translated to English by Magalie.   I could hear myself calling to my wife and then, I emerged from my body who crumbled on the floor like a blanket. I was in absolute darkness and I was coming near a bright and intense white light. Suddenly, I came back into my body and it felt as if I was sucked back in it. The shower head had fallen into the bath, the water was sprinkling on my lower abdomen and it felt as if I was urinating on myself. I woke up, laying on the floor, with my head against my chest. My wife turned off the water so it wouldn’t flood the bathroom.
NDE from pain-related unconsciousness.

Alexandra S NDE  English expanded version  8/7/10 From France.  Original in French, translated to English by Kathy.  I was thinking of many things at once: of my parents, of my life, of the life that I would have had. Then I had a feeling of leaving my body, of floating, I could see my body curled up in the shower. I could see everything, I could hear everything but I was looking at my body. I only had eyes, no body and I could feel myself rising, rising then the black hole.
NDE from electrocution.
