My wife had advanced melanoma with brain lesions. She was dying though we held out hope her therapy would kick in. One morning as I was vcv shaving I heard her scream. I rushed to her and saw her arm shaking and her faced showed terror. Her last words, “ I’m so scared!!!” Then she went still, eyes open, no conscious awareness. She was still breathing. EMS came. Took vitals. Before transferring to an ambulance she woke. She was calm and lucid. At the hospital her oncologist said the meds weren’t working. She calmly said, “ Then we’ll stop.” She was transferred to hospice care where she spent 27 days. There was never again any fear. It is my belief that in her 25 minutes of non responsiveness she went somewhere and came back assured there was nothing more to fear. She did not have a true NDE but something brought her to a peaceful calm.
This story is absolutely fascinating and I hope your conclusion is accurate. I think I would feel the same as you did.
