While In Coma; Girl Is Shown The Thin Veil Between Heaven And Earth (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Mia Bella Brickey was a 10-year-old girl from Salt Lake City, Utah. She became very sick for months and was misdiagnosed. On May 25, she went to the ER for severe dehydration from vomiting. Doctors gave her IV fluids, but her heart rhythm became irregular. A procedure to shock her heart failed. Four hours later, she had cardiac arrest. Medical staff performed CPR for 65 minutes and put her on life support and ECMO. She needed a heart transplant soon or they would stop treatment. During her cardiac arrest and coma while waiting for the transplant, Mia sat on the edge of a tall cliff with her feet over an ocean. She felt calm and one with everything around her. She watched a pulsing orb of bright, colorful light like a living sunset. Beings below the cliff invited her to jump so they could catch her and take her to the orb, but they said there was no rush. She explored a shed behind her with etched names that felt heavy with human loss, then returned to the cliff and sat for what felt like forever, with no sense of time. After her heart transplant, Mia faced complications like collapsed lungs twice, kidney failure, and relearning to walk, talk, swallow, eat, and write. She first felt a 'why me' attitude. Remembering her NDE brought peace. Now she lives with love and acceptance, viewing people and situations positively, which changes how she experiences life.

Extreme medical crisis with cardiac arrest, prolonged CPR, and coma provides strong context, but no veridical physical perceptions from impossible vantage points are claimed; the NDE is purely spiritual. Limited evidential strength comes from an independent psychic's pre-report description matching key elements (cliff by water, calm, undecided), but this lacks physical specificity and direct verification of real-world details.
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.
