The Story
A woman contracted COVID-19 in December 2020. She developed severe symptoms, including low oxygen levels, and was admitted to the ICU. One night, at her weakest, she left her body. An angel appeared in a bright light and guided her to a dimly lit pool area. There, she saw images of deceased relatives—her mother, father, friend Dennis, co-worker Jan, and Jan's husband—on the wall. They smiled and sent telepathic messages of happiness, reassurance, and no judgment. The angel then led her to a bright, cloudy realm where she met Mother Mary. Mary directed her to a radiant light of pure love from Source. She felt at home, learned she is a lightworker, saw her angelic form with gold wings, and was told she would recover. Pets greeted her on the return. She reentered her body feeling joyful. She improved quickly and left the hospital in three days. For five to six weeks, reality felt flat and dull, like a movie set. She gained higher vibration, greater gratitude, no fear or judgment, stronger intuition, and views life as an adventure to live fully.

This NDE features a severe medical crisis with ICU admission, near-intubation, and critically low vitals, providing strong context for compromised brain function. However, it lacks any veridical perceptions of physical events or medical procedures during the out-of-body phase, consisting instead of spiritual visions and messages from deceased relatives with no documented verification or pre-report to witnesses. Specific details about known relatives and messages exist but are predictable for a spiritually intuitive experiencer and unverified.
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.
Are you here because someone you love has died?
These accounts were gathered because death may not be the end. Thousands of people have experienced something beyond — and come back to tell us about it.
