Ever Experiienced That

Puzzle Piece — Tue, 14 Oct 2025 14:23:37 GMT

I'm referring to an out of body lasting experience or a death experience where you saw the other side and came back. I have never had this happen.

Anyone care to share?

I have never had this happen and don't know anyone who has. About 2 yrs. ago I had a stroke and had one bleed out during surgery and another one in intensive care. After one of them ( I don't remember which one).... I just know I was being wheeled somewhere and felt like I might be dying or passing out. All of a sudden it either came to my mind or was a soft voice.... (again I don't know which) that said..."I will never leave you nor forsake you"...this is a Bible verse I learned many years ago. I immediately felt much more calm and peaceful. Later I woke up with all my family there including my husband, kids, grandkids, sister,etc.
all waiting in the waiting room. I eventually got to see them all just a couple at a time and how blessed I felt!

My son went into septic shock in our pediatrician's office when he was 14. When the paramedics arrived, they could not get a pulse or blood pressure. We were told he technically died that day. He was revived after chest compressions. All of it was my worst nightmare. I asked him about whether he "saw the light?" He said he saw nothing, no light, virtual darkness. Yet, to this day, he has said he would never be afraid to die. In college he graduated with a dual major. One was Religion. He is probably one of the best human beings I have ever known. Lives his faith, gives back.

Personally I don't believe those that truely die can go to heaven and come back. I get that from the Bible itself in John ...a book of the Bible.

I feel it's the result of an active mind, during a near death, or out of body experience. A dream like state that can be confusing and one that probably adheres to the individual's belief system, or perhaps fears.

Who knows, but once when I had surgery, when coming out of anesthesia, while still very sedated, I began talking about rabbits. I had no idea I was doing it, but the nurses were telling me what I was saying. It was information that I had no knowledge of even knowing about rabbits, but very detailed. Guess it was somewhere in my memory bank.

I guess if I had talked of Angels, it would have been viewed as a possible spiritual experience. So I don't believe in out of body experiences, only what's already in our head. What we need, or what we fear that surfaces under physical stress, or perceived threats.

Reminded me of an experience my grandmother told me about years ago: The night her mother died, she came to her in a dream and said:'Caroline, I'm so cold . They took my clothes. Please bring my robe. ". Well, the next day, when she went to the funeral home, her mother was laying in the casket wearing just a slip and underwear. They hadn't put on the dress she wanted to be buried in yet, Eerie.

The afternoon that my grandmother passed away I went to the hospital to visit her. She was in a extreme hyperactive state (electrolyte imbalance I was told).I was shocked.

I went home and took a nap. As I dozed off a "cloud" of my maternal and paternal great grandparents, aunts and uncles appeared above me. I found out that evening that my grandmother had passed away around that time.

Yes, it could have been a dream but my experience didn't seem that way. The vision was comforting not frightening.

I haven't experienced it but my Gramma did. She said she saw Dad (her only child), all of the grandkids, and was no longer afraid of dying.

I've had several encounters with loved ones after they died.

I visited Gramma in hospice the morning she died. About 30 minutes after I got home, I felt her presence. It was my first experience and scared me so I told her to go to the light. Dad called me minutes later to tell me she passed.

I swore I'd never react if it happened again. I always went with it after that.

Before Mom died, I asked her to send me a sign. She appeared to me about 6 weeks after. It was so calming and loving.

I was mulching leaves the week after my uncle died. We were very close and I took care of him the last few years. My mower started smelling awful and I prayed it wouldn't blow up. The second I realized the smell was the same as my uncle's cough drops, it disappeared.

I had Dad's urn in my house for 6 weeks because of the horrible weather. 2 days after he was interred, I felt his bear hug.

My brother was a jokester and I was usually the victim. It was all fun, never mean. He didn't like a picture I had in my diningroom. About a month after he died, at 2AM, I heard a crash. I jumped up and found that picture on my floor. This happened the same night that his spouse smelled his aftershave while cooking dinner.

I've had others too.

I talked to my a priest and bishop and they said these are normal if we are truly open to them.

No, but I've read a book or two about people who have had those experiences.

I was with both my mom and my dad when they passed. As I watched them slip away and take their last breaths, I wondered what they were seeing and hearing. It was a weird feeling. Especially with my dad.

My husband and I had a short conversation about this the other day. Neither of us believes that a person can experience a true experience where they saw heaven or whatever. There may be strange things happening to your brain or whatever when you have a near death experience or in a coma or whatever, but we believe that these feelings can be explained by other things which are happening in your brain, both, etc. We don't feel that anybody gets to experience or feel anything about the other side until your true death.
