All
at once, she began smiling and was extremely happy, and began talking. I asked
to whom she was talking, and she began naming names - they were all people who
had died. She said they were all around her bed, and she was very, very happy
to be seeing them again.
Was
the kind of experience difficult to express in words?
No
At
the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?
Yes I was called to her bedside because she was dying.
At
what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness
and alertness?
She died, so I can't answer this for her.
How
did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience
compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness?
More consciousness and alertness than normal
If
your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was
different from your normal every day consciousness and alertness, please
explain:
She died, so I can't answer this for her.
Did
your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision (in any aspect,
such as clarity, field of vision, colors, brightness, depth perception degree of
solidness/transparency of objects, etc.)?
Uncertain For 6, 7, and 8, I can't really answer this for her. I was never
able to speak to her about any of this.
Did
your hearing differ in any way from your normal, everyday hearing (in any
aspect, such as clarity, ability to recognize source of sound, pitch, loudness,
etc.)?
Uncertain Again, I don't know.
Did
you experience a separation of your consciousness from your body?
Uncertain
What emotions did you feel during the experience?
She was VERY happy, huge smile, talking to them.
Did
you pass into or through a tunnel or enclosure?
Uncertain Again, I'm not sure about these answers. I'm including this just
for your data, though you may not be able to use it since I only observed
something.
Did
you see a light?
Uncertain
Did
you meet or see any other beings?
Yes Again, I guessed at 16 and 17, but this one I know for sure. There were
more than just one person there - there were several, and they were her deceased
relatives - I think a husband, a child, maybe others. I got the feeling it was
a family reunion!
Did
you experience a review of past events in your life?
Uncertain
Did
you observe or hear anything regarding people or events during your experience
that could be verified later?
Uncertain
Did
you see or visit any beautiful or otherwise distinctive locations, levels or
dimensions?
Uncertain
Did
you have any sense of altered space or time?
Uncertain
Did
you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose?
Uncertain
Did
you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?
Uncertain I haven't been able to answer any of these.
Did
you become aware of future events?
Uncertain
Did
you have any psychic, paranormal or other special gifts following the experience
you did not have prior to the experience?
Uncertain
Have you shared this experience with others?
No
Did
you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?
Yes I had heard of others who saw relatives at their death bed. My dad's
co-worker reported it when her mother died. When my mother died, after her last
breath, she got a big smile on her face - that was her last action. I was sure
she had seen Heaven. Both mom and the co-worker story happened after this,
though - before this, I'd still heard of it a lot.
How
did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it
happened:
Experience was definitely real I could tell that she thought it was very
real. She was talking to them as though they were all around the bed.
Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or
significant to you?
How
do you currently view the reality of your experience:
Experience was definitely real I know what I saw, and I'm sure her relatives
were really there.
Have your relationships changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Uncertain
Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your
experience?
Yes
I
can't speak for her (she died), but I have been very changed by what I saw.
Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life,
medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?
Yes Yes, my mom smiling when she died. There was no reason for that.
Did
the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and
comprehensively describe your experience?
Yes
Are
there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?
I'm an historian and have found quite a few NDEs recorded long, long in the
past. There are two involving Am. Indian people, one from the 1500s, another
from the late 1700s. I'd like to see questions describing what it was like
after they got beyond the light. Would someone from the Sahara, for example,
see lush fields, even though that wasn't in their experience? The Indian NDEs I
just mentioned, above, describe native villages - they got beyond the light
before they were revived. Thanks!
