I Died and Went to School in Heaven

The Story
Claudia Edge was a pregnant woman who experienced a near-death experience (NDE) in 1984 due to severe blood loss during a medical emergency. She felt lightheaded and went to the hospital, where she began bleeding uncontrollably. As doctors rushed to perform an emergency C-section, Claudia felt her consciousness leave her body. She observed the chaotic scene in the hospital and then entered a state of perfect darkness, where she felt loved and content. A nurse's voice called her back, insisting her baby needed her. Claudia returned to her body after 11 minutes of being clinically dead. After the experience, she felt a new sense of purpose and began writing about her NDE and spiritual lessons, leading to her book, 'Dying to Go to Spirit School.'
