Anyone ever had near death experience ?

[cantsleep1]

Been watching too many documentaries and it gets me wondering if there really is life after death🤔
Google tells stories of people who have but is there anyone on here with any stories ?
Xx

Your AIBU is ?

To ask for stories ?

Had a massively traumatic experience as a child and could see myself above my body. May return later to explain but it may be triggering 🙁

By coincidence I just recently watched a few ndes on you tube. This is one amongst a few others that impressed me and I considered honest. Sorry I haven’t got one of my own.

C'mon. It's a trick of the brain. All these people who say 'I died', if you died you wouldn't be here. Dead is dead. No living creature comes back from it. You sound like a lazy journo.

When I was 27 I was in a severe car accident which resulted in a massive abdominal injury. I didn't know it at the time, but I was not expected to survive. I was in Intensive Care for a couple of weeks, during which time I was drifting in and out of consciousness, while the doctors fought to save me . I can remember being in a state of pure bliss - I was floating in a lovely warm ocean, going up and down on the waves and feeling totally comfortable and happy. Sometimes I'd hear someone talking, but I never knew what they were saying.

I finally woke up after a couple of weeks and the doctor told me that I'd been near death a couple of times. I wasn't at all surprised or upset, because I'd had such a pleasant experience of it. If that is what it's like to die, I've got no fear of it at all.

This one made me cry.

...is this the next Daily Mail article? I'm always very suspicious of the posts where the OP just wants the MN stories but doesn't really share their own.

I can only relate to when I had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy and I was in a bad way. I suddenly felt the presence of my late grandfather behind me to right of my shoulder just before I passed out.

Weird

After an emcs my heart started beating unexplainably. In a room of total strangers as dh had taken dc to see our prem baby. I feared I was dying alone...
Won't ever forget that feeling.

I nearly died as a youngish adult. Like, call the family to say goodbye, nearly died. I was on full life support and sedated, not a clue what was going on. Even before I was put on the ventilator, I can only recall being tired and didn’t even realise how serious things were. I was low on oxygen so clearly this affected my thinking. When you are in organ failure, you tend to be confused and imagine things.

Gallstone attack during childbirth. Hellp syndrome after.

I'd rather someone chewed my leg off with dentures made of rose thorn and rusty nails than ever, ever go through that again.

I felt surprisingly well and was more concerned with who was going to look after my cat.

It's just the oxygen starvation causing hallucinations - don't start believing everything you see on crappy documentaries!

No experience but on an AMA thread recently a medical person said you can't actually die and come back again, it is not possible to restart a heart that has stopped, there must be even a very faint pulse to commence CRP. That sort of quashes the Take a Break 'I died and went down the tunnel to meet Aunt Aggie' stories.

Don't feed the lazy DM 'journalist'!

During a medical emergency I felt myself slipping away. My vision was blurry, my hearing went and my throat completely closed. I felt like I was dying and could see nurses running around. I now live with PTSD as a result.

I have had to be resuscitated before and was then in intensive care for a long time. I have been told it was touch and go but I did not experience any bright lights, feelings of warmth or saw any long lost relatives!

@PulyaSochsup aw I'm sorry if triggered anything 😔 xx

I do believe some of them, I'm usually a very good judge of when someone is genuine. But tbh id be shocked if we didn't go somewhere after death.

@bamboofibre imndefo not a lazy anything, sorry it just interests me and I wanted to hear others opinions if you don't agree then don't comment.
Thankyou for the other replies :)

@Passtherioja I haven't got my own, and I'm not sharing these!

@Birdie6 how lovely xx ❤️❤️

@Schuyler that could make sense for a lot of people's theories xx

@BlueMerchant I'm so sorry xx
