21 Year Old Dies In Hospital; Visits Different Dimension During Incredible NDE
What Researchers Found
The Story
Gerald was a 21-year-old man diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia in November 2016. He chose aggressive treatment with many medications, which caused a heart attack while he slept in the hospital. During the NDE, it began as a dream where he met a homeless friend and entered a vast white space. He saw a divine light on a queen-size bed. He almost fell off a balcony into a hell-like area with lava and rocks, but his friend pulled him back and fell instead. Gerald realized he was dead and felt at home in a hyper-real realm. He met his deceased great-grandmother on the bed, asked telepathically if his great-grandfather went to heaven, and a blissful light enveloped him, bringing intense peace, love, and universal knowledge with no sense of time. He begged not to return. A divine voice said, 'Not your time yet,' and he sped back through the universe to his body. He woke up with tears as doctors confirmed he had died. Memories returned a week later. Later, the friend described seeing a protective angel at the same time, which boosted Gerald's belief in life after death and gave him a new perspective on existence.
