Yes. I had the biggest seizure of my life. Was at a bar getting ready for dinner when I ended up on the floor. My husband says I wasn't breathing for 11 minutes. I saw some people who I'd lost in the past. They were telling me it wasn't time.

Just few days ago someone asked me this question.
I had NEAR near death experience..I was falling forever when I was placed under general anesthetic, I saw all my life time all around panoramic view in seconds but in detail... I was not scared and I thought I was just dying then...I don't remember meeting my creator just falling down.. because I wasn't really dead just lost a lot of blood at that time. After that experience I take thing seriously and I believe in spiritual power and energy all around me which guides me to the right path.

Yup, when I first got sick. My brain was swollen enough that I would have died had it not been treated soon. Was pretty much in a coma for a couple of weeks.

I got caught in a rip at the beach and got dragged a distance from the shore and couldn't keep my head above the water. I tried to scream and went under and felt myself drowning as I couldn't physically move. A lady pulled me out and onto the beach and got the water from my lungs

When I was an infant, I came down sick with spinal meningitis. I was on my death bed and the hospital wanted a priest to come in to say a few words for the departed.
Instead, mom asked for a blessing from two missionaries. Miraculously, I survived

Yes and I can assure you there is life after death . It will sound corney but your relatives who have passed are waiting for you . They are all healthy and well . No more ill health , disability etc .
Yes, it didn't last very long but it gave me a glimpse of the "next life". It was a comforting experience.

@notyouraveragedummy Hope you share with us soon. 🌸
@Eyeinthesky OK then. For a period of about a year or more I was having episodes of blackouts. Medical professionals never did get to the bottom of it. And then the blackouts stopped as inexplicably as they began.
One of these episodes happened in the middle of the night as I had gotten out of bed to go to the bathroom. I found myself in a dark woods (?) with a golden light flooding between the trees.l I felt a hand gently touch my elbow, push slightly while a voice said, "They're waiting for you." I looked out from between the trees and saw rolling, grassy hills with people seated everywhere. They were far enough in the distance that I couldn't recognize any individual. Next thing I know, my face is pressed into the tile floor of the bathroom.
None of the other four or five blackouts included imagery. I had been doing something mundane, the blackout was instantaneous without warning, and came to after an unknown period of time.

7 years old.
Playing normally on the streets with an older playmate.
Unknowingly for us both oblivious children just enjoying the game, the parked car behind us started moving forward.
The two of us went under the car.
The driver was drunk.

I'm not sure whether a mild heart attack counts.

According to Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, a near death experience is defined as, "an occurrence in which a person comes very close to dying and has memories of a spiritual experience (such as meeting dead friends and family members or seeing a white light) during the time when death was near."

When I had my first son. I lost half my blood, I don’t remember much.
It was two months before my third birthday, I started choking when my epiglottis started swelling up, they blamed our new rental wasn't properly sanitized after the previous tennant died of some disease. I was rushed to the ER where I was trached. I remember having an out of body experience and seeing myself on the gurney while the doctors and nurses worked on me, as well as a very intense blue light on the wall. When I was 8 1/2 during xmas season 1978 we were shopping in DownTown Portland when I spotted a sign with that same intense blue light, I was holding my Dad's hand and felt me jerk to a stop. When he looked at me he asked why I stopped, so I pointed at the sign and said it was like looking into eternity, when I looked back at him his eyes were wide and his jaw dropped just staring at me. Later that night when I was supposed to be in bed I heard my Dad crying, so I snuck out to see why, he was telling my mother that after my tracheostomy was removed a month after it was put in, and could talk again, I told him about leaving my body and seeing that blue light against the wall and saying the same thing, it was about a month before my third birthday in 1973 when I told him the first time about the blue light.
