Researchers say there's evidence that consciousness continues after clinical death

My mom died in a car accident when I was 13. I still cry for her and I'm 57 now.

Who else is here because they had a panic attack about dying Edit:i didnt think i would get so many replys

I had a near death experience a while back and I can tell you firsthand that when I left my body, I was actually way way way more conscious out of body then I've ever felt in my body. In fact, that's when I realized I had been walking around half asleep my whole life. I never felt so alive and exhilarated . It was beautiful and awesome.

I resuscitated many patients over the years but there's one I will always remember. It was Christmas eve and I was on the night shift with another person, the patients heart stopped suddenly. I took the airway and my friend took Cardiac compressions, team was called by hitting a light switch which alerted the team of Drs. Result patient was conscious after an hour or so and told us he saw me take the airway and other take chest compressions.....I will never forget this. No explanation.

My dad was shot near his heart in 1999 and was clinically dead for 14 min until a nurse saw him crying and then they revived him. He says he was conscious the entire time but couldn’t move his body, his only way of communicating was his tears. Glad he’s still alive with us today 💯

When my grandfather was in the hospital, he was unconscious for a few hours (at a later point he died for a moment) Later he woke up and told my family that he saw my grandmother who had died 11 years before him. Later that day the doctor told him that his lungs just weren’t working anymore and that “thinking about this can be very scary” but he told her that he wasn’t afraid, because he knew that soon he would be with the love of his life again. He died the next day, and I felt so peaceful knowing that HE KNEW he would be at peace

My father had a NDE during open heart surgery and became a totally different person which benefitted the entire family.

I brought a lady back to life at a dance a number of years ago. One year later this lady was at another dance and came up to me and said you saved my life thank you. She described me doing CPR on her while she was looking down on us. She hadn't seen any pictures of me either. I live in Michigan and she in Florida.

My mom was leaving and one of the last things she said was. I think I'm dying. I said Its ok mommy. I love you and ill see you again. She was unresponsive for 3 days but I sang to her and told her I loved her. At least 10x an hr or more. I didn't sleep for the last 3 days n sat on the floor next to her. Had her favorite music playing n just went through all the people who love her then sang Jesus loves me then sang I love you a Bushel and Peck song. Just as I finished song and music was ending she took her last breath. I collapsed in a heap and cried. Uncontrollable as my brother sister n dad lost it. I know this and planned to wave n say good bye to my mom as she left but I think about it a lot. How my mom knew how terribly distraught I was n I just kept saying over n over I Love You mommy. I love you hoping the last thing she heard was my love for her. I miss my mom so much it pains me. Mom left me just Feb 2 . I'm 58 but no matter how old you get your always your parents child. I miss you mummy. I hope God lets you hear it every time I say it. I have a good life. Thank you mummy. I love n miss you till I see you again.

My father came to say goodbye to me, the day he died in my dreams

I understood that the ‘hearing’ is the last to go so when my Aunt lay motionless in the hospital bed, as we as a family all laughed over funny memories and sat with her on the bed, we played all her musical favorites and we each had our moments with her as we whispered in her ear...All the while listening to that horrible death rattling we’ve all heard of. My Mom wasn’t anywhere near so my Brother held the phone up to my Aunts’ ear. I have always believed that she could hear us and left peacefully that night.

I was out of my body hovering over the operating table. I could see everyone in the room and all of the machines. I could hear their conversation. This is not an effect of anesthesia. No one will ever convince me of this.

I was dead for like 10-20 minutes. Felt like I was in outer space going somewhere. If you ever floated in a river and let the current take you, it felt like that. I believe in the human soul a lot more now. When they brought me back I was in shock, because to me, moments earlier I was a million miles away. There was also a shock from how cold I was. When your heart stops beating, you stop producing warmth. What felt like room temperature to everyone else, felt insanely cold to me. The coldest temperature I've ever been in is where my nose hairs turned to instant icicles. Instead of that extreme cold coming from the outside environment it was coming from inside of my body. How cold I was gives me nightmares, but when they brought me back I wanted to go back to being dead. It was peaceful. But then I felt bad because I thought of what it would do to my kids.

My father died today in the hospital while I'm here in a covid quarantine facility. I can't stop my tears.

My mom passed from a stroke in January. She was 69 and this was her 3rd stroke. My sister brought her home on hospice and said that the day before I flew in, my mom looked in the corner of the room and said “hold on mom”. Doctors gave her a few weeks, but the day after I arrived, she passed. Everyone said she was waiting for me to get there. Sadly, I haven’t had any dreams about her or visions…always thought I would.

Glad to hear clinicians are finally acknowledging what people have been experiencing almost certainly for millennia. Just because you cannot see or measure something now may, as evidenced here, may simply mean you do not yet possess the proper tools.

In 2013 I died suddenly. I had consciousness throughout the experience, but no sensation. I don't know how long I was dead because my wife found me on the floor. I didn't return, until after the paramedics arrived. When I returned, I experienced a peacefulness like I've never experienced before. In fact, it was so intense, I didn't want to come back. My wife told me I had a heart attack. At this time, shortly after returning to life, I was comfortable with dying and asked to say goodbye to my children. I gradually became more aware of my surroundings and got up off the floor on my own. As the doctor explained, my experience took away my fear of death; changed my belief system; made me more compassionate toward others; and more at peace with myself. I am so happy that I came across this video because it lets me know that my experience isn't an anomaly.

This is validation for me, in my nursing career I've always gently spoken to people who died and explain to them that they have passed, preparing them for funeral home pick up. So glad I did.

I know this was not NDE but I felt the same experience of peace and lightness when my deceased grandmother talked to me before I woke up in the morning more than a month after she died. At the time I'm not sure about these things but that experience really changed my perspective. She was asking me to take care of my mom because she's leaving. I remember clearly how different and amazing the sensation is, although I know I was talking to a deceased person I didn't feel fear so much because I was overcome by peace and lightness. When I woke up the environment is very the same when I was 'asleep' talking to her so I knew somehow I am "awake" while sleeping. I know not all people believe and even reject this as truth, but this is my experience. It's just extraordinary.

I remember when my dad died, I said to my sister "Be careful what you say, I'm sure he can still hear us, and we shouldn't upset him with careless words". Perhaps I was not far off the mark after all? Death holds no fear for me, in fact, come the day, I'll welcome it, but until then I aim to avoid it for as long as I can. As my dad once said "When you've lived your life and seen enough, it's time to go home. No point lingering at the gate".
