If she saw everything after death, she’d still be dead wouldn’t she. Oh, I see, somehow she came back.
Well technically, it’s a “near death” experience. I had one, BUT i am convinced that it is a matter of the brain misfiring while in a state of dying, causing hallucinations, especially if high fever is involved, which i had. I beleive it isthe brain’s mechanism to help protect the dying person from the pain and fear of dying, as It causes an altered state that separates itself from the trauma of dying.
I know there are some who claim out of body experiences, and claimto see things “that they couldn’t possibly have seen otherwise” (for instance, a m3dical 5ool atop a dresser, too high to see from a bed) but I question that. I don’t totally discount it, but do question it.
It is a real experience? Or just the brain going haywire? I suspect the latter, though i can’t say with 100% certainty. I only know ehat I 3xperienced, and being that it wasn’t biblically sound, I personally know that it was a runc5ion of a brain in a traumatic situation trying to protect itself efen thougnthe experience was horrible (I “went” 5o hell, not heaven, and while thay i n its3lf was frightening and horrid, it did seperate me from the physical trauma in the process of dying)
This podcast on near death experiences is worth your time:

The next episode on the “Life Review” is also worth a listen:

One depressing thing, to me, is that a theory says people just imagine the afterlife according to what they were taught. Instead of Jesus, the Hindus apparently see their religion’s figures for example.
Plus, like space alien abductions, people now see what others have said in their near death experience books and tv movies, so they are influenced to imagine some of the same things. The long tunnel, white light, loved ones from the past. Atheists and agnostics like to hear that. Goes along with their thinking gullible people believe in the “myths” of Judaism Christianity and this is part of the yokels’ fairy tales.
I would very much like to go to Heaven and be with my sweet wife Joy who died three years ago.
Near Death Experiences (NDE's) tend to include the person observing their own bodies being worked on by doctors, with details they couldn't have seen with eyes taped shut and under full anaesthesia. Then the "tunnel", the "light", the feeling of warmth and being loved, life review, greeting by passed family members, and being told that they have to go back to complete an important task (not their time).
They aren't as rare as one might guess. And in some cases the experience is awful, an image of Hell. Atheists and skeptical medical professionals have "come back" believing in consciousness outliving the flesh. Unless and until it happens to me I'll remain questioning, but this story isn't at all uncommon.
I dropped dead (zero pulse or respiration) on the basketball court Thanksgiving weekend of 2018. I remember posting up on the left side of the foul lane, then everything went white. My next memory is awakening in the hospital, five days later (they tell me). I had been kept in an induced coma to prevent brain damage.
Thanks to God’s Grace and quick CPR, plus great medical care I am able to talk about it. I have no memory of seeing anyone or anything for the duration of my unconsciousness.
Heck, I see things when I’m asleep.
I think it’s called DREAMING.
