Jody Long is an attorney, licensed in Washington, New Mexico, Louisiana, and the Navajo Nation.

She is webmaster for the Near Death Experience Research Foundation (NDERF) for the past 15 years and provides support and a forum for NDErs and those who want to know about the afterlife. She has several decades of experience researching paranormal and related phenomena. She is also webmaster for After Death Communication Research Foundation (ADCRF) www.adcrf.org and the other consciousness experience website which is everything that is not an NDE or ADC (OBERF) www.oberf.org

Jody helped with "Evidence of the Afterlife," the New York Times best selling NDE book. She has written "God’s Fingerprints: Impressions of Near Death Experiences," "From Soul to Soulmate: Bridges from Near Death Experience Wisdom" which will be the first book of it's genre published in mainland China before the end of 2016. The newest book, "Living Like an Immortal" will be coming out the first part of 2017.

Jeffrey Long is a medical doctor specializing in the practice of radiation oncology, using radiation to treat cancer in Houma, Louisiana.

As a scientist, Jeff founded NDERF in 1998. He wanted to know if NDEs were real by directly asking the NDErs themselves. The answer is a resounding YES! As a result of his research, he is the author of the New York Times Best Seller, "Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences."

As a leading NDE researcher and a medical doctor, Jeff has appeared on national media including O'Rielly Factor, NBC today, ABC with Peter Jennings, the Dr. Oz Show, the History Channel, the Learning Channel, and National Geographic. He has also appeared on Fox News Houston and at the New York Academy of Sciences.

Dr. Long, author of "Near-Death Experiences: Evidence for their Reality" published in the medical journal, "Missouri Medicine" and is now listed in the National Library of Medicine. This is a big deal for establishing the credibility of NDE with scientists and the medical community. You can download and read the free article by clicking here.

Jeffrey Long, MD

For those who want to know

God and the Afterlife expands upon Dr. Long’s findings about the afterlife and is the first deep scientific exploration of NDE accounts that encounter God or spiritual beings. He shares accounts from NDErs who meet God. What he discovers is that these testimonials share unique similarities that provide overwhelming evidence that God is real.

Read some of the best NDEs.

This is a feel-good book with some of the most profound NDEs ever submitted to NDERF. This book was written to share NDEs with people who enjoy reading books or who don't have access to a computer.

Love & Relationships

Love is the number one idea described by the NDErs and learning about love through relationships is the number one reason we come to earth. This book puts the two concepts together to help learn to apply them in our own lives.

Takes NDE Research to a whole new level!

“There is currently more scientific evidence to the reality of near death experience (NDE) than there is for how to effectively treat certain forms of cancer,” states radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long in his groundbreaking book Evidence of the Afterlife.

Touching Comments

We want to thank our readers by sharing some of the most heart-felt comments.

Just a thank you for continuing to post near death surveys on your website. As a spiritual seeker who also is dealing with cancer,
these accounts are very comforting. I check for new postings
regularly and always enjoy reading all the new postings as soon
as they are available on the Website.

I found Dr. Long's book to be an excellent source of information
that was both analytically presented and inspiring. I've survived
cancer a number of times and am prayerfully optimistic this will
again be the case at age 64. However, I'm confident that a loving Creator awaits us to experience Atonement in Love once we lay
our bodies down. Thanks to many NDE accounts of the marvelous love that awaits us, my fear of dying has diminished.

Thanks Jody. You know, what you and Jeff do with this website is extraordinarily important and useful. I cannot overstate how
important NDE stories have been to me since losing my son three years ago. I have read many hundreds of stories on your website, and refer people to it frequently.

- J

Just wanted to write and say how much your website has meant
to me. I have been interested in NDEs for a long time. The first
one I heard about on a BBC documentary resonated with me so
much. I have just read Amy C NDE 4720 and was awash with
tears. Happy tears , tears of relief! I have always worried about
many of life's big questions and have been trying to grow on a
spiritual level. I have been able to do so by reading as many NDEs as I can and learning from these peoples experiences. What you
are providing people in your website is a gift.

I have read your book "Evidence of the Afterlife" and want to
thank you for that too. I now truly believe our time here on earth
is given to us as a way for us to grow spiritually. I am a much
calmer and happier person because of this knowledge. As a
teacher I respect the nature of learning and look forward to a
future where I am always learning and growing. Thank you for
being a part of that.

More From Our Readers

Thank You!

So many of these experiences are clearly from people who are unsure or in some manner insecure about telling their story. I wish these was some way I could reach them just to send a short message of thanks for posting. Not to breach their privacy or make their ego swell. Just to feel I can close the circle, let them know they really help, their experience in print is a powerful message. - R

Thank you for the suggestion and your time. Many blessings to you and thanks again for the work you do - L

Thank you, I really love your sites. Thanks for all of the hard work you do to get this information out there to the world. It's helped me so much!! :) Blessings to you... - R

I love your site. It has been such an inspiration to me over the years. I found John K's STE in the exceptional accounts section so uplifting. Like him, I am a monk in a monastery. I wonder if there's any way you could forward my thanks to him? Really a wonderful account. Thanks for all your work here. Bravo! - A

I just had to express my gratitude for this website I absolutely love it! I look forward to reading all the new stories every week. I too had an out of body experience when I was 7 yrs old so I understand. It also helps clarify things for me now. I just can't thank you enough. – L

Both my wife and I read your book and were very moved. We have gone to your website often over the past few years and have found great comfort in the postings from those who wrote about their NDEs. I just wanted to reach out and encourage your work in this area. You are well appreciated. -S

I wanted to thank you for your wonderful site. I have been following your messages for years. Many are uplifting to me and I am sure others. I can imagine that the people who have spoken of their NDE's are very relieved and happy to find that they have a place to share. – M

Thank you so much for the NDERF website. I found it thankfully due to an article in "Share International" by Patricia Pitchon. I have for quite a long time had an interest in NDE's , the many accounts on your website have given me a much deeper understanding of the nature of the Universe and of our role on the physical plane. It is also profoundly comforting. I have told several people about the website in hope of spreading the knowledge further. Your website has a huge positive effect on my life, I am so grateful, - K

Thank you so much for your site. It has given me a lot of comfort over the past few months. I've read so many stories and find them all fascinating and reassuring. While I haven't had an NDE, so many of the experiences sound familiar to me. It doesn't make sense, but that's the best way to describe the feeling I get when reading the stories. - Z

I am contacting you because you have the most beautiful stories on your site. I cannot wait to read them every Monday morning when I get up because they usually get updated over a weekend. - E

Please share your NDE with us.

We have two other websites devoted to other aspects of consciousness experiences. ADCRF www.adcrf.org is for after death communications (ADC). OBERF www.oberf.org is for all other experiences that are not an ADC or an NDE, such as spiritually transformative event, power of prayer, out of body experience, meditation experiences, premortal existence, precognitive dreams, etc.
