The Story
The person was a woman who later wrote books and spoke about near-death experiences. Her NDE happened in 1995 during a severe illness that included a bone marrow transplant. During the NDE, she left her body and spent time outside it. She underwent a life review that showed her life with clear, honest detail. She realized her consciousness exists without a body and cannot die. She recognized her true self as good and reflected in divine light. She was told or understood she must return. After the NDE, she shared her story through books, interviews, and events to reduce taboos around death. She lost fear of death, became happier, and lived more consciously. Now facing terminal illness, she prepares for death with peace, uses out-of-body experiences to manage pain, forgives herself and others, and advocates for self-determined dying.
