INTENSE Near Death Experience After Surgical Complications (NDE)
What Researchers Found
The Story
Sandra Rose experienced two near-death experiences. The first occurred at age 7 in 1952 from polio paralysis, where she died in an iron lung but revived. The second happened in 1976 after abdominal surgery when she bled out massively. During the second NDE, Sandra left her body and floated above the room, watching doctors work on her without pain or weight. She rose through the ceiling into clouds and stars, traveling at high speed through galaxies to a bright curved light. She approached a beautiful wall with an archway and met her grandfather, who guided her through a colonnade with gardens, fountains, music, and fragrances. He led her to a room where a figure of authority, like God, asked what she had done with her second life. Feeling guilty, she promised to make a difference if allowed to return, and she snapped back into her body. After the NDE, Sandra recovered and transformed her life. She studied spirituality, joined Bible groups, and attended retreats. She forgave herself for past guilts like surviving polio and a miscarriage. Now she speaks publicly as a life after death coach and transition guide, sharing her story to offer hope about heaven, especially to those considering suicide. She helps people die peacefully and encourages living fully with love and forgiveness.
“I felt dirty I felt stupid I felt abandoned how am I going to take care of”
The account describes a severe medical crisis with massive bleeding post-surgery and an OBE from an elevated vantage point in the room, providing some evidential foundation. However, perceptions are extremely vague with no specific details observed, no attempts at verification, and no confirmed accurate elements, severely limiting evidential strength.
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.
