Round Trip Death #210 - Stacey's Near Death Experience
What Researchers Found
The Story
Stacy Piedrahita was a nurse for 27 years. She suffered from a severe autoimmune illness misdiagnosed as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. She took an immunosuppressant drug that shut down her body. The NDE happened one night while she slept and woke up around 3 a.m. During the NDE, Stacy saw a magnificent light and felt unconditional love. She knew she was with God. She asked questions about her life traumas starting from age nine. God answered every question right away. He told her to bring certain people back into her life. He said love and forgiveness would heal her. Her shame and pain washed away, and God promised she would heal. After the NDE, Stacy shook her husband awake and said she would heal. Fourteen months later, she stopped all medications and felt happy. Her inner child was released. She quit nursing and started energy healing to heal herself and others. She distanced from toxic people, focused on gratitude and nature, and became an author and podcaster to share her story.
“love for myself that I've never felt in my entire life and it's like you want to”
This NDE lacks any veridical perception claims, consisting solely of subjective internal experiences like seeing a light and conversing with God, with no descriptions of external events or objects that could be verified. The experiencer was severely ill but not in clinical crisis during the event, which occurred at home during sleep, and no attempts to verify specific details were mentioned. The only 'verification' is self-reported healing, which does not qualify as evidential perception.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
